Thats amazing that people would try to cheat.Where`s the integrity?Is it for the money or the fame?It seems like its becoming more and more common also.The polygraph I`m not so sure that is the answer in busting these guys though.When do you give someone the test?Should every winner have to take one?Or when someones weight is huge?How do you make that call?I think one thing that would help weed out cheaters would be to sign a stipulation in the signup form for the particular tourney saying if your caught cheating you have to pay a hefty fine of some sort.I think the best way to get rid of these bastards is to threaten to get in there pocket book.Maybe get the DFG involved somehow,for instance if someone gets caught cheating then they can no longer purchase a valid fishing liscense indefinately or for a period of time.Maybe possibly having there gear or boat taken away,like they would do if you were poaching or fishing without a liscense.Maybe a little extreme but I dont think so.
As far as kicking down all the info from your wins,I here ya all the way.You worked hard it sounds like to find the spots the paterns and the baits,why would you want to give it all away when you can do the same thing year after year from now on and have great success in tourneys without people being in your spots and doing your thing.I know plenty of people that would have b.s`ed about everything just to get them off there back(me being one,lol)so your honesty and frankness is cool.
