A bass tourney was winding down and they were getting ready to weigh fish. I happen to have a 5 pounder on a stringer and one of them offered me $100. for it, I refused as it was unethical and illegal.

The recent news is that the charges were brought this week, due to the genetic testing of the fish to determine where they came from, Lee the article you posted.

anybody know if they were ever given and passed polygraph tests?
if they weren't giving an occasional polygraph test,it's just an invitation to cheat...
