Post by: fishinjohn on Feb 17, 2024, 01:35 PM: MAYBE its not the anglers fault at all!!!
The fish probably self identified as a state record and the angler was just trying to recognize him that way ::) ::)

Unfortunate that we even have to think that way. If I caught someone cheating in our events… send bail money!!! No need to cheat!!! End of story!!

A good metal detector would work… I guess.

That’s the only good thing that came out of the walleyes guys getting caught.😎✌️✌️✌️

Post by: fishinator on Feb 19, 2024, 06:12 AM: Definitely makes you wonder how many times this has happened in the past and people got away with it. Ever drag a fish behind a boat on a stringer? I have left mine out of the boat when moving and the fish will fill their guts with water. Or what about ice cubes?

Happened to mention it to a friend and a guy I went to high school with that manages local bass tournaments. He perked up and immediately asked who the angler was. Turns out it's a guy he caught catching fish before the tournament, and holding them in sunken wire cages until the tournament. Said the chewed up tails were from beating against the cage wire.

Have to submit 4 photos or video of angler with fish, over all length of fish on sanctioned bump board, and separate pic of head and tail on bump board.
