Truth is powerful and it always prevails.

It seems he had gotten away with cheating in the past and had become the norm for him. As Snubby said we all have strayed at one time maybe not like this. I’m sure the embarrassment of his actions will haunt him for a long long time.

Glad they caught this . This is much more than a “straying “

Was the guy fishing solo or with a partner who is equally as guilty ? Heard rumor that he was fishing with his wife.

The individual has been caught and his mistakes will follow him a lifetime, should he be incarcerated as some as suggested? Not in my opinion no, this kind of thing will sting a long long time. Think crappie USA handled it very well. I personally have only fished two tournaments in my life, one was a benefit tournament and the other a amateur FJ. I saw right away when money is on the line no matter the amount folks will sacrifice integrity for a paycheck. The benefit tournament was full of good folks coming out and making a showing for a good cause. Greed is a human fault we're all guilty of at one time or another. I'm glad he was caught, but let's not try to be the judge, jury or executioner. We leave that to the higher judge, he's already shown his justice for those other fishermen or women effected by calling him out. Just preach integrity and morals to your kids or grandkids every day and let the road take it's course. No one person ever starts out on the wrong path I strongly believe, the just sway off the line from time to time. None of us are perfect in any sense that's for sure.

No doubt and very well said. My paranoia and look of guilt would be a dead give away. In other words the person that would get me caught, would be me. I would be a terrible criminal and my criminal career would be short lived.
