I just don't understand. How can a person sleep at night knowing what they did? The lack of moral character is disturbing. I couldn't even bring myself to sign up for an amateur triathlon after the doctor gave me HGH in '08 after my heat stroke because I couldn't recover from a workout. Honestly, I would of liked an edge on the retired pro's who kept beating me, but there would be no way I could look at my friends I raced every week.
Edit: I guess I understand, when I was drinking I didn't care about anything or anybody. I was just barely existing as a biological being, and animals in nature do whatever is necessary to succeed and survive. Having had a spiritual awakening I look at things differently today.

Did they catch all those fish on 1 pc bamboo rods and old Hardy reels?

 

[troutstalker]

Sad...I think they were euro nymphing.

The walleye version of Mike Hart?

@Tom Butler - cheaters gonna cheat. There used to be a salmon derby in Port Angeles where first prize was a new salmon fishing boat, maybe even a truck......... big prizes. One year the heaviest fish drew some concern (no one saw the fishing being fought and caught) and upon "forensic" investigation, they found the fish had been frozen. If memory serves, it was Alaska caught.

And I thought, the video of a scorned Walmart employee announcing (over the intercom) what POS her Manager is…when she found out, he was also screwing her co-worker, was priceless.

Redneck Heaven.

Happy Sunday Morning.

9 out of 10 fishermen will cheat on their wives before cheating in a fishing derby.

I'll never understand that mindset and how people can feel good about themselves knowing they didn't win because of their angling skill....besides the obvious, money. Still don't understand the mindset regardless.

Crazy how the guy is just standing there frozen. I am surprised there wasn't an ass kicking.

I come across a lot of tournament guys bass fishing. Not a lot of them seem like they are having fun.

I made the mistake of watching this with my 4 year looking over my shoulder. She’s now runnin around the house yelling “cheating mother f@$cker!”

Walleye fillets and lead weights? How trashy are these people?! Where's the artificial intelligence and anal beads?

Chess world rocked by rumours of anal beads and artificial intelligence

Fans speculated that anal beads could transmit messages.

Well, they had to get the weights in the fish somehow.

Tournament fishing isn't about fun. It's about accomplishment. Standing waist deep in a freezing river chucking weighted flies and sink tips for days on end without a grab isn't fun either but when you catch a fish the accomplishment makes the misery worth it, at least it's supposed to.

Years ago I did a week long wilderness float down the Babine for steelhead, it wasn't fun at all but there was a lot of sense of accomplishment.

I'll have to ask my neighbor about the "fun" part of it. Whenever we've talked about tourney fishing, I've gotten the impression he enjoys it (he and his dad partner in tourney fishing). A former colleague of mine decided he'd fish for pike minnow as a second job. Max loved fishing but one day came to me and said "Pat, don't make the mistake of fishing for money, it becomes a job" (meaning, I suppose, fishing loses it's fun factor?).

Disgusting.

Thought about posting when it made the local news last night, but figured it would get around either way. Only in Ohio.

I enjoyed bass tournament fishing. Most of the time. When I didn't enjoy it was when I was unable to figure out what the fish were doing..

I like lead free tacos.

Is anyone here really surprised?
