[quote=Fishbreeder]No names, but....long ago and far away a biologist caught a cheater in a tournament. Early spring and the cheater had figured a way (also not going to tell) to make a large female bass draw on about another 5 to 10% of weight in water, that was undetectable at weigh in, yet ended up in the ultimate sacrifice (death of) the fish at hand. It was the most insidiuos and truly disgusting of schemes that ended up in at least accusations of fraud and a black cloud over a tournament angler that never lifted.

People would be amazed to know who you speaking about, I do!

I would want someone in the boat with me so I would have a witness to affirm I was following the rules exactly.

I won't go that far...but, using a piece of piano wire worked into the vent, a cheater in a tournament was able to rip open the inside of a female bass' ovaries and allow the eggs to draw on water, thereby gaining a few ounces of weight. Nothing visible on the outside to indicae the fish had been harmed. But a few of the fish were'nt doing well and a dissection revealed the internal damage. I was young then and it made my stomach turn and was difficult to understand doing somthing like that to a living thing for the money.

Same "fisherman" had stolen a lot of fish from my employer prior to that incident, but I was uanble to prove that one. My guess this person went into some other scam after bieng run out of tournament fishing.

Cheating? This is stealing. Pure robbery. But where in life is money involved that someone does not steal?
