No fish story: Man jailed for weighting fish
(AP) DALLAS – A suburban Dallas man must serve 15 days in jail after admitting to stuffing a lead weight into a bass he caught during a fishing tournament. A Texas Parks and Wildlife Department spokesman told The Dallas Morning News that Robby Rose must also surrender his fishing license. That’s after the 45-year-old man pleaded guilty to felony attempted theft after admitting to rigging his fish.

The felony charge relates to the bass boat Rose hoped to win with the rigged fish at a bass-fishing tournament on Lake Ray Hubbard last October.

Rockwall County District Attorney Kenda Culpepper told the newspaper that her office considered the issue one of a $55,000 bass boat, not a 10-pound fish.

The newspaper reported fishing contest officials became suspicious after feeling a lump inside the fish and confronted Rose.

It’s TX. He’s lucky they didn’t just shoot him and call it a day.

Of all the felonies you could have. I’d love to see the look on his cellmates face when he reluctantly asks his orange clad roomy, “What are you in for”? “Stuffing a bass”.

idiot

he must be desperate in need of cash for a new boat..

Maybe the should have shot him! Would make somebody think twice about doing it again.

Idiot X 2

Sounds like an idiot but I think a felony is a wee bit extreme… Gosh darn bass stuffers these days…

After further reading I do agree that it should be a felony. I failed to put prize earnings into perspective.(sp)
