I’m surprised they made it out of there alive. Said they’ve won 3 million last few years. It was a 45k purse for the one they got busted at!

Those guys probably would have cheated if it was just for bragging rights, but money brings out a whole nother level of scumbaggery.

I hope these guys go through h**l for a long time because of this. I hope they have to pay back their winnings for the last several years but I doubt that will happen since it can’t be proven.

Supposedly they’re being charged with fraud…

Worst part is it took them this long to get caught. Added over 8lbs of weights to 5 fish. That’s like a whole new level of stupid the world has never seen. How did they get away with this for years at that level of stupidity. Heck they won a $100k boat last year.

Gonna see a lot of tournaments that make you filet the fish on the spot now.

No I think more tournaments
will be going to catch and release were you photo the fish on a bump board and then a formula is used for weight.

Total fricking scumbags but not at all surprising given the big money tournaments. Greed brings out the worst in some people. Glad they got caught but this put a black eye on all fishing tournaments. What’s next x-raying fish brought in?

Seems like an easy fix.

Any limitations to what it can detect?

I say allow it. Whoever can stuff the most weight into 5 fish wins it.

I’m amazed those guys got out of there alive after watching some of the videos on YouTube. Obviously can’t post them here due to language so go over there and check them out.

Just detects metal. Obviously lead will give you the most weight for its size because of its density.

But composite materials, rocks or putty could be added to beat the metal detectors. Cheaters might always find a way.
Be original and Enjoy every step along the adventure.
