I just finished reading this, to be honest I'm surprised no one has been caught doing this before. Tournament fishing has ruined Sam Rayburn, try fishing there on any weekend.

lowlife scum - can't win fairly so cheat to get the money....

How's the fishin' on Lake Fork?

Is NOTHING sacred anymore?????:machinegun:

It's all about the money. :mad:

Makes you wonder how many people have gotten away with it.....

I'm sure it wasn't his first offence either.
Maybe just the first time he got caught.

I've never fished Fork, grew up an East Texan and never ventured that far north to fish. :lmao: My dad grew up fishing Rayburn and I guess passed it down to me. Hard to venture anywhere else. We've resorted to wade fishing back in the buck brush during the spawn to get away from everyone.

Where about in East Texas? Ever fished Toledo Bend?

You live in Texas and never fished Fork!!!! :eek:

Yeah, my dad lived on Toledo for 2 yrs (Hemphill) and I'm not a fan. Tons of stumps, you have to run in boat lanes anywhere you go on that lake and still you're constantly hitting stumps. Not to mention Black Bass fishing wasn't as good. He moved back to Rayburn (Broaddus to be exact) and is much happier.

As to not fishing Fork, you have to have lots of knowledge of each lake to be productive. It's really hard to spend 2 days at a lake and know the hot spots. Having 30+ yrs experience on Rayburn helps us be much more productive there than a weekend at Fork.

I haven't been to Toledo since I was a teenager...We used to catch an ass load of Bream when they'd bed up but your right - Stump city...LOL

We used to run yo-yo's for White Perch and Catfish out of Grapevine...Good times -

Cheating bastage! :mad:

Man you fellas are speaking my language now! Lake Fork, Sam Rayburn, Lake Fairfield, Cedar Creek Lake, Tawakoni..... all my old stomping grounds! I have a 9 and half pounder mounted out of Fairfield. Caught it when I was 16 years old. ANd man do I miss the crappie fishing at Tawakoni! Big ol slabs in the spring! :cheers:

Wait so people lie about fishing...:lmao:

Sorry someone had to say it....

If you can't win a tourney fair, don't compete! What kind of example is this guy setting for kids out there??? Fishing is supposed to be fun and enjoyable...competition is just a bonus. This man has been blessed with the opportunity to go fishing for a living, and this is how he acts. :mad:

Sad, sad, sad to see. At least he can be used as a bad example.:rolleyes:

If the fish were dead, wouldnt he think they would be cut up?!

what a moron

Wow... I can't believe that my dad hasn't called screaming about this! He's a bass fishing fanatic. It's one thing to "stretch the truth" about how big it was in jest, but to flat out cheat is incomprehensible. What an ass.

That brings back memories, I remember seeing those attached to piers and asking my dad, what are those? When you say White Perch do you mean White Bass? :lmao: We've mopped up on those beneath Livingston when they're running. Even up here in Austin there's a few hotspots that during the right time of year you're shoulder to shoulder and everyone is catching them!

Man those are fun to catch, put up a hell of a fight for such a small fish, really fun on lightweight setups......:hellyea:

Most people (not from Texas! :D ) call crappie white perch.

Unless you're around here since we have lake perch I have heard them called river perch :lmao:

Rivers are a good place to catch them! :cheers:

what a douche !

Yes sir...White Crappie = White Perch...Black Crappie = Crappie...:yes:

YUMMMMM Black Crappie - cornmeal breaded filets.....salad.....baked potato......best meal ever!!!!

Hmmm, I've never heard them called anything but crappie! Perch are perch, crappie are crappie.. sunnies are sunnies, and they all taste great out of the frying pan!

Wow I was way off! lol I haven't fished for crappie in years, although IMHO they're the best tasting fish there is. Nice to have another Texan on here to explain what these yankees are talking about! :lmao:

I'm with you, crappie is the best....although my brothers will argue that walleye is better.

What a lowlife scumbag!
