Nesmith will also pay approximately $7,100 in restitution, which is half of the winnings he and his fishing partner, Brian K., won in team tournaments.
Did I read that correctly
cheers
Doesn’t surprise me at all that people do this.
I quit fishing some tournaments due to the prevelance of cheaters.
Kind of like the Capra’s being caught at the Anoka County Airport filming a bow hunt.
They should both be charged with fraud against an organization because it was a charity event, and be sent to prison.
Thanks for the post! Shame be to them both. I would certainly hope they would both be black listed. Several years ago a guy from around here was caught cheating. Yep, the fish basket trick. He kept professing his innocence. Someone contacted Ray Scott and Ray called him. Ray told him that they could clear it all up with a polygraph. Ray told this guy he would arrange it. The guy refused, but still professed his innocence. It cost the guy nearly everything. He cannot fish competitively around here, his wife left him, etc.. All over a bass tourney.
His wife left him over a bass??? That’s a good one! I didn’t know it was that easy.
Maybe she didn’t like him coming home with fishy smelling fingers all the time?
Wow…calling out someone by name based on speculations is a bold move. Especially someone who just finished 2nd in the weekend series regional championship at Patoka. Very bold.

I’m not sure the Legal term is “Very Bold”, i think they have another name for it.
I think if we all really new about all the cheating that goes on out there we’d shocked..just my opinion though!!
I find this interesting. When all the hub-bub was going on with Team Supreme, a forum moderator made a post stickied to the top stating:
“We need to stop posting cheap-shots and poor taste remarks until a formal announcement has been made regarding Team Supreme and their day-to-day business. Until then, all outside the lines comments will be removed.”
However now a person affiliated with IDA it naming names pointing out cheaters. Maybe I’m incorrect, but I understand no formal information has ever been presented stating that these folks you mentioned (Capra’s) have cheated, thus it’s only hear say correct?
Cheating is as low down as you can get. Thus calling someone a cheater is a BOLD statement. I guess the way I look at it is put yourself in the other shoes. How would you take it if someone recognized you as a cheater on a public forum and you had done nothing wrong? I think I’d be a little more than upset.
Someone from IDA posting this type of allegation on a public forum sure shed’s a dim light on IDA in my opinion.
However I guess it IS a public forum. Just seems like a comment in bad taste to me.
Fluker
Are the capra’s (any of them) on this website if so by what screen name? ike
You’ll never find a more honest and diplomatic man then Fluker. Thank God we have men like you to make the rest of us step back and take a deep breath. Thanks for putting things in the correct perspective again.

I sure hope not. At least not while this post is available.
Fluker,
May I ask who you are referring to when you say “a person affiliated with IDA “
