That "post" I believe you are referring to is a Picture of him holding a crappie with some captions superimposed over the top.  Says his name and that he is a cheater and is banned from all fishing tournaments.  That was NOT his doing.....just to be clear.  Somebody pulled that pic off his facebook page and added the captions and re-posted it.  The guy didn't have his FB page set to private, so anybody could snipe one of his pics.  The statement was proven true (by the video evidence) so it's not slander or libel.  Probably a little further than I would have gone, but this issue has a lot of people pretty hot.  Nobody likes a cheater.....unless they are also a cheater....then they probably will defend the guy.
I thought he was going a little overboard posting something like that! Hats off to the person who posted the captions of him being a cheater! Thanks! Glad I saw it before it got pulled!

I saw the video.
It's proof and an admission if I've ever seen it!
Does anyone know if he is a user here?

The video can easily be found if you can find the tournament director anywhere.  ??? ::) ;D
James Vladyka runs the CVHT tournament series. If you can find James' name on other outlets... You can find the video of him outing the cheater on Bomaseen.
Note for those of us that skim.  ;) James BUSTED the cheater.

The guy got what he deserved.  Complete and utter public embarrassment.  I doubt anyone will see him on the ice for a long time.

I'd bet the admins are in on it.....  Not sure why you guys are so surprised.  This happens in nearly EVERY derby around.  It's what happens when you involve a little cash.

Yes, but in this case he was caught red handed on video.  And to make matters worse, he then posted on a VT ice fishing website bragging what he had caught.  Someone confronted him on it and he made snide remarks, laughing about it.  That's why this has blown up as big as it has.  Get caught, put your head down and apologize, maybe if he showed remorse in a few years they'd let him return.  But the fact he's bragging about it and laughing like it's a joke is what has people so many irate.

It's a shame that people have to cheat for a few hundred bucks. Just as bad as stealing from people and stores!

 :clap: :clap: :clap:  Serves him right.  Should have let him "enter" then bust his a$$ in front of everyone at the tourney when it ended. 
It is MY responsibility to make sure my children can enjoy fishing years from now. Make sure your kids can fish.  If you see something ILLEGAL Contact the Massachusetts Environmental Police Radio Room at 1-800-632-8075 at any hour of the day. They might show up if there is enough staff working.

He is old enough to know better! Late 20's! Maybe he will learn his lesson by this , he needs to take an ethical course or something.

I wonder if that guy is from around the area or not. I cant imagine having to show my face anywhere in town after that BS.
My Biggest worry is that when I'm dead and gone, my wife will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.

Tight lines and be safe.

Well, that's a shame and there is no excuse. But as George W. Bush once said "When I was young and irresponsible I was young and irresponsible." Hopefully he learned a valuable lesson. But, speaking for myself, I made some really bad choices at that time in my life too. I'm guessing I'm not alone on that.
Ice fishing is a social activity that may occasionally be interrupted by the catching of fish.

I love how people are bringing wiggle into this like hes some sort of accomplice. Who cares if they've fished together?  What this guy does on his own time is none of wiggles business obviously. If wiggle were with him while he was caught then I could understand the reasoning behind it.  Just because people know and fish with this cheater does not automatically mean they do the same.

I don't think any of us said big wiggle cheated... He would have to fish a tournament to cheat. I'm pretty sure it was stated they know each other and he might be able to shed some light on his intentions.
