Pro Freshwater Bass fisherman busted cheating
Hey, did you guys see this? This guy was caught stuffing lead weights down the gullet of his bass to bulk up his weigh ins! He went so far as to attach the weights to a short length of line and hook them inside the throat so that if the fish was gutted, the weight wouldn't have made it that far! Glad they caught this joker... check out the dollar amount of the top prize(if link works...)

Someone cheating during a fishing tournament? Shocking!!!
I have no doubt it's already happened this year in the Striper Cup.

I think he is the same guy who "caught" several 20lb+ lmb in the big CA lakes and the delta.
His career is over, I hope it was worth it.

They x-ray fish entered in the Meredith Rotary Ice Derby held in Feb up around Lake Winnipesaukee. The state so in the rules, probably because someone did something similar in the past.
They should press charges, because sure, banning him may hurt his wallet for now, but it doesn't send a strong enough message to really deter someone from cheating in the future. It's a proverbial "slap on the wrist"!
