I don't know Richard and I've never been to Lake World but I have always heard great things about him and his business. I've fished a good many tournaments and good fella or not, that was just plain wrong. At the very least I'd want my entry fee back. I know the WP tournaments are for fun and there's probably not a big pay out, but right is right and wrong is wrong. Under no circumstance should a weigh in be held early without notifying everyone in it. And furthermore it needs to be a unanimous decision to weigh in early. That's just my opinion.
I've considered fishing one of his WP events at some point, and this won't change my mind, but I can tell you I won't be able to handle it as well at Mr. Ray. Hats off to you for not showing your tail. You're a better man for it. But, he won't have much of a turnout for these events if he continues to run them like that!
