Agreed as well.
I've signed up each year for OTW and then for the most part just not really cared all that much each year. I love competitive fishing but at the same time a lot of what comes with it just isn't worth it. It IS out there, hell I've even seen cheating in the Fall Surfcasting Club Challenge which is essentially a charity tournament. At the same time I think there's a lot of jealousy and some people just can't help but speculate or intentionally start rumors with no truth at all to them.
I think, to some degree, if you catch well in a big tournament (or catch large in general) you better have a thick skin because someone, some where, right or wrong, will be out to undermine the efforts that person put in. USUALLY without any proof.
There's a lot of be said of just never announcing what, when, where, or if you are catching...
