Garden State Trout

I can't imagine the humiliation of being proven a cheater red handed in front of hundreds of spectators.

That in itself would be a reason to go hang myself. The worse was it was done in front of his peers no less

While im sure he cheated, the video is a little suspect....how did he get fillets ( skin on ,no less) into the walleye?? and the weights don't appear to be in the stomach cavity of the fish.....it all sounds very strange

I have seen similar things happen on salt water party boats.

I have seen this in the BASS circuit I fished on years ago, they shove the weights down by hand and with other instruments. When a 14" largemouth weighs 2.5 pounds there is an issue....

They had the boat and trailer confiscated by the feds and face felony misdemeanor charges. Couldn't happen to two nicer guys....

We don't lock up murderers these days. Guys cheating in a harmless fishing competition will be banned and shunned for life, but they won't be doing any hard time.
