Thread: People will go to great lengths to win a tournament

The sad thing really is that it shines a negative light on all sportsman. In this day and age where it seems like everyone seems to be gunning to take our priveledges to hunt and fish away that isn't the light we need on us.

And it just takes one negative story to put a bad light on the sport as a whole.

Amen,
that guy is a real sack of (well you know that stuff my dogs relieve on my lawn).

I was re-thinking the title of this thread, even if this guy walked away with the prize, he didn't WIN the tourny, just sayin'

I am tournament neutral, hooray if you do or if you don't. My opinion, don't paint an entire segment of the fishing community based on the actions of a few. There are bad apples in the recreational angler segment as well. But the penalties this angler received aren't stiff enough, this is no better than breaking and entering in my opinion.

I agree with you completely but it is a rare person that will not find something in that that will not skew their point of view towards others. Unfortunate fact of life.
