Walleye Tournament Cheaters Busted

Bunch of the feeds are going wild about a team that got caught slipping weights into their catches to win. Last of the video has the good part at 14:30.

Sorta sounds like these guys have been doing this for a while.  the one beer-swilling "motherfucker" dude seemed to imply they had won previous contests.  Wish the vid had close-ups of the cheaters' faces as they got busted....

Bushy

Here you go!

Just saw this on Reddit.. was gonna post … I don’t think the Guy won that day. Probably banned from all tournaments for life.

This has gone viral everywhere.  Apparently that guy has won $3Mil+ in cash, new fishing boats, and other prizes over the last 20 years.  He won some big $$$ tourney suspiciously last year, and was DQ'd after failing a required polygraph.  I hear he's been trashing the organizers and was going to sue them for those prizes.... until now.  Wonder how long he's been stuffing lead (and fillets) in his stringers?   Guess they need to start gutting the winning fish.   

Guess they need to start gutting the winning fish.

I'm surprised that any serious tournament that weighs dead fish isn't already doing this... Pretty sure all the Puget Sound salmon derbies require that fish be gutted and gilled before weigh-in.

I've seen some great memes of this on Instagram the last couple days - pictures of deep fried weights and weights in tacos....
