This seems like amateur hour compared to the bass tourney guys a few years ago who were catching big fish elsewhere, then pinning them up in the tourny lake to recover the day of the competition.
Now that takes real commitment to douchebaggery

Pretty light sentence... why were they not charged with fraud?

Really interesting how they were able to prove it though!

Not really surprised. If there's an option to cheat to gain an edge someone will try it. I'll bet the sponsors are thrilled. :D

The amount of outrage is awesome. Grown men dressing like their NASCAR heroes to catch a fish that fights as good as a burlap sack only smaller in fancy boats. They have to be drinking right? I mean I couldn't do it unless I was drunk.

I remember a long, long time ago at the HIBT in Kona a big marlin was hoisted to be weighed…and a decent sized tuna slid out of his mouth. It was just enough weight to lose first place…
