way you finished last season maybe your team better cheat
After reading about the guy in Vermont who got caught trying to cheat I was wondering what people's views were about it. I don't do tournaments for that reason.
I won't not fish tournaments / derbies just because theirs dirt bag cheaters out there but what I will do is make those aware of cheaters that direct an event if theirs any doubt about the honesty of another angler ! 99 0/0 of these events are run cleanly and with good intentions , I cant hold it against the folks running a contest and not fish these events because their MIGHT be a cheater amongst the anglers ! All we can do is hope that if their is that their caught and dealt with in a professional manner as Jamie did in his VT contest ! If we let dishonesty control what we do then we all may as well stay in our homes and not go outside because its all around us in every aspect of life !
I was wondering about his friend that was with him. His name?
"Self proclaimed pro staffer"Go on
Yeah just buy the jersey of your favorite brand, have your last name put on it and you become a "self proclaimed pro staffer" then you get to show off on the ice and make people believe you earned it for being such a asset to the ice fishing community. It's terrible that guys get to do that and act like fools, giving the brand they supposedly represent a bad image. There's not much the rest of the legitimate pro staff can do about it except let others know the truth.
realy he isn't pro?? The big wiggle is his name funny stuff if he is a imposter
i have been told that the pike derby at coles creek on the st lawrence river is catch and release only. this is put on by the walleye association up there and is a good cause. i noted one of the rules was you had to be in everyones view and i believe you had to be outside not in your shelter or shanty. has anyone on here ever fished their derbys? i was invited up for the feb pike one but had the flu.
