it is a shame, but it is very difficult to address.
i don't know the guy, but everything i have read points to him to being one of the best. a real highliner. But are they supposed to make final judgment based on their personal feelings towards the angler? How do you write that in the rules?
real tough call.

wow that is a tough one... I say allow the fish if you can prove that the angler didn't put the weights in there

Zacs--you're right on that, "tough call."

I've met Lev and he is a young fisherman with some incredible catches.
He's a heck of a big-bass fisherman. I would let the fish stand as is. But I can understand how difficult a decision it is to make.

Wow.

Tricky question to answer. Someone should write an essay about it. It has interesting conflicts of all kinds: sport, commercial, tournament rules and regulations.

what the heck is all that lead doing in the fish. I don't really understand yo yoing, but if thats what results it seems a little... i can't think of the right words.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

If you guys think this thread should be deleted that's fine. I don't feel totally right about pasting another board on this one. I only thought it was an interesting debate. If any moderator thinks this post is out-of-bounds...........

Very simple call, they can not enter that fish, it's simple.
They dunk the fish to remove all sand and also remove the lure/fly.
I have seen at other fishing contests they will not let a fish stuffed with ice cubes in the contest!
I also think Lev should buy a lottery ticket

Thumbs down

i mean why would you even consider doing that. that's just false recognition. it's not like you can brainwash yourself into thinking you really landed a 42 pounder. everyone knows how big their fish really were no matter what you tell people. no good.
