Consider this point...
The guy already had the leading boat bass entered in the derby. When a fish is weighed into the vineyard derby and it takes first place, the weigh station attendant cuts the fish open and inspects it for foreign matter...everyone knows this.
With this said, the guy's leading bass was most certainly opened up and inspected. Given this fact, the guy would have to be a complete fool to intentionally stuff the bluefish full of ice, would he not? He had to know it would be cut open.
I can't believe it was intentional,but at the same time I'm at a loss to explain how that quantity of ice got in the fish's gut. The committee must have reached the same conclusion, otherwise they would have disqualified him from the derby, not just the bluefish.
