Wonder how much of that goes on!!
We had a fellow over here (saltwater) that cheated several times, then after he was banned, his wife mysteriously wins a tourney (and a new Ranger boat/motor/trailer).
If there's a dollar involved, somebody is gonna be doin it, etc, etc .......
Way more than you would like to think. Quit fishing jackpot bass tourneys years ago because of it. Watched a guy get himself shoot over a 200.00 pot down in south Florida back in the 70's.Quote:

"It takes 90% of the people to fish, have fun, teach the youth, enjoy others, but it takes 10% to be greedy" Thank god there are only 10% of the fishermen that always, cheat on tournaments and break the rules on size and limits. I have noticed that they always feel entitled. Almost like many young people of today. I can draw unemployment, food stamps, etc.. Who has to work. Let others work and give me my entitlement. I know a few of my generation that do without medicine or food because it is to expensive. They are to proud to go on food stamps or let their families know of their problem. :twocents Sorry I vented, just frustrates me about the way our country is headed.
Preach it Brother Chuck!
LAW OF THE JUNGLE = if it's free or easy = they goin for it ! ! !
But, who knows, they might win out, it might be just as simple as, the Law of the jungle ! ! ! ! ! !
I got my pride, but what is pride worth, when you're trumped by some sorry azzed parasite that
is proud of their shortcut to survival vs yours....... = diff set of values with same outcome (food in yur belly, a place to sleep).....
I realize it's about "quality of life", But ....................................
I've lived on the street, and I've been to the top of the mountain,
unfortunately (due to my own pride), I fell off the other side of the mountain, a couple times Lol, Lol ..................
scum
Yup.. "Scum".
No apologies needed Chuck, what you said wasn't just venting , but being truthful. Thanks for saying it.
Hopefully he gets caught fishing sometime in the next two years and loses his license for a while longer.
Try fishing catfish tournaments on waters where everyone and their cousin "Cletus" have an electro fishing device (shocker).
I agree with Chuck 100 Per cent RR
