HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE...

[GrouseFly]

I got this message this morning and am wondering if it is legit?? I hear the winners of the crappieusa classic first announced yesterday
got caught cheating and we're disqualified and jailed.

Something is up for sure. There is a comment on facebook page on the Amateur division winners about them not having an issue with the amateur division winners.

The winners that were announced at the weigh-in (the day one leaders), were disqualified after not passing the lie-detector test. I haven't heard any further details about why they were disqualified or if they were jailed. I don't know what laws Indiana has, but in some states cheating in a tournament is considered a felony.

This is the picture I meant to post. This was posted shortly after the weigh-in, but before the banquet.

Doesn't sound good for those that cheat.

If true, that is horrible. Years ago, a officer of the law, cheated at weigh in and won a fairly large state bass tourney, It cost him is job, wife and family plus his life. Things got so bad, he ended his life. Shame, Shame. Let's hope this is true.

I meant to say, Let's hope this is Not True. Sorry

Just curious, how do those folks cheat? Very unfortunate. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night doing something like that.

Several ways. Put some money on the table and some go bonkers.

Catch the fish somewhere else or earlier and transfer to livewell day of tournament.
