    I was just told a pro got busted for putting lead in his fish. Has anybody got a link to this?

    I’ve always thought about that; what’s to stop a guy from dumping a little lead down a fishes throat in a tournament. What a D-bag. I wonder how many other guys have tried to pull this stunt. Not necessarily in a major circuit, but some of the smaller ones.

    Thanks for the post, bummer that a pro has to cheat to compete.

    Why? I realize some lucky guys do this for a career, but if you cant to it the right way why do it at all? And 2oz sinkers are not small what was this guy thinking?

    I’m more appalled he used Lead instead of non-toxic …

    I don’t think it’s ever been an issue…I mean, after all, he is a bass fisherman.

    Sad to say but I think it happens a lot in local Tourneys. Maybe not enough to win, but enough to get in the payback bracket.

    I heard on the radio that he had won over $200,000 through the years.

    Jeez……to be lumped in the same catagory as A-Fraud is really a low blow.

    Not sure which drove him more: money or ego.
