This falls into the same situation as high altitude mountain climbers. When someone summits a mountain never summited before and no one witnesses it, they are very supportive of the person and trust they actually did the climb on an honors system. We must do that too as if we suspected everyone of cheating it would ruin us as a group.

Problem is, in high altitude climbing (fishing too), there are cases when you have multiple pieces of evidence pointing that the person didnt make the climb. You can accuse the person, but its a wash because you cant prove it one way or the other. Over time though, if that same name constantly comes up, maybe there is something up with that person.

Like I posted last year, the lie detectors, gutting, weigh stations that actually pay attention and know what theyre looking at all would help this from happening. Even with all that you can still get away with it. People put a lot of effort into cheating when there is money on the line. Even with a charity tourney some will still cheat to give themselves the hero status.
