People never cease to amaze me

I read an article about this earlier today. The cheater owns the marina the tournament was ran out of.

On Facebook posts Mohr said that he’s “banned for life” seven people on more than one team for cheating during the tournament, not just Smith, but he didn’t elaborate. Mohr also promised to privately share the names with fellow tournament directors.

People no longer disappoint me. Values are a thing of the past.

It’s sad, but I have to agree with you.

the ironic part about that story is the guy would have won without cheating

Must be something in the Erie water.

Wasnt that the same case as the dudes last year?

I also find it comical that he still did it even though it is stated that “all prize-winning fish are cut open and examined to discourage exactly the kind of cheating Smith is accused of”. I’m assuming all the tourney anglers are aware of this but maybe not to try and catch cheaters. Either way, people are dumb.

He probably would have been fine if he had just stuffed them with whole perch. The cut in half walleye was the dead giveaway. Fortunately most cheaters and criminals ain’t the brightest bunch.

You’d think tourneys would just go to length instead of weight to avoid all this cheating, speculation and drama.

What a DA.They should let everyone who paid to fish line up and kick him in the NADS.
