tagged redfish caught in galveston

below is a email i got from my buddy. you can bet your last dollar hes kicking himself in the butt now! this fish was caught about 2 miles from my house/pier. hes in the cca/star now. this was the first real fishing trip for him in his home built rowboat.


Till was cleaning the fish and found a red fish tag on the red fish I
caught!  I called it in and if we had been registered we would have won a truck
trailer and boat a value of $60,000.00!  Can you beleive that?  That fish
was 21 inches, the biggest fish I ever caught!  When we get back were signin up
for the competition!  They are supposed to be contacting 3 newspapers to
interview us,,,, THE BIGGEST LOSERS!  ha ha!  Tills Red fish was 29
inches.  Anyway thought you might want to know.  Ya'll have a great
WEEKEND!

that is so cool yet royally sucks at the same time!

wow... I would've threw it on a stringer and sign up ASAP, redeem my prize. I'd be the happiest fish in the sea.
Better luck next time, bet he's fishing for that same red, same spot 24/7. I know I would.

I guess cheating is approved in your thoughts...they do polygraph each individual for the Star Tournament.

there is 0 chance anyone will catch that fish again.





he found the tag while cleaning it, from what i read....

~~ I bet that insurance company is relieved they wont have to pay that prize


they polygraph, dont they Iridered?

Hey BOYDiomand you have to pass a poligraph test and they will prosecute you for fraud if you do that

I know a guy that won that setup about 7 or 8 years ago!!! fishing from the bank...

One of the lie detector questions was "have you ever kept an undersized fish" his answer was YES I HAVE!

they polygraph all winners. read the topic i posted titled another sad day in the cca/star.boy di, its people like you that give honest people like me a bad name. you may rethink your reply.

Dishonesty is not the best policy, not even for 60,000.
