Italo and HenryIt has made my Twitter feed, I guess it's prime for fish jokes.
Must be quite a drug to destroy one's reputation and existence.
Don't know why, but this brought to mind some TV show hosts' lack of better judgement as well.
I responded to their actions within minutes of seeing the videos. Felt sick to my stomach all night and the worst part of it all for me was explaining to my kids how this all happened!I wonder how their sponsors will feel about continuing to sponsor cheaters

Just had this conversation with a buddy of mine who's a bait builder and ex charter captain along with a bass tournament fisherman I know, our only thoughts are with a stick or rod to push them through. Definitely a very ignorant and disrespectful act for sure and we hope they pay for it which I'm sure they will and I really hope they do on top of their reputation already being ruined. Funny what money does to some people but this is just disgustingI can't say I ever seen a lead weight being fed to a walleye....I'm curious exactly how they do this? How are they shoving fish fillets down another fish gullet? Serious question. Obviously the fish are dead first right ?
Yeah thinking the same . Wooden dowel maybe . What's the purpose of the fish fillets beside adding weight? Does this help hide the lead ? Just trying to wrap my head around these 2 meat heads out on the lake shoving lead balls and fillets down with a wooden dowel....what a sightJust had this conversation with a buddy of mine who's a bait builder and ex charter captain along with a bass tournament fisherman I know, our only thoughts are with a stick or rod to push them through.

From what I read the fillets were put in between the weights so they wouldn't make noise clinking together inside the stomachYeah thinking the same . Wooden dowel maybe .

Not that is makes a huge difference but they actually weighed in 5 fish totalling just over 33 lbs including the 8 lbs of stuff inside (so average fish was 6.6 lbs including ballast, 5 lbs without). Stupid part is, they would have won handily even without adding weight, the second place team only had 16lbs or so.The bizarre thing here is that none of those fish individually appear to be an 8 pounder, in my limited experience from just looking at them and from my more extensive math experience, 4 X less than 8 does not equal 33+ pounds. No wonder there were suspicions. They not only got cheaters, they got Heads. I only saw one of the team members sticking around to face the music - apparently another cliche is in order... "There's no honour among thieves"
Agreed about the comment about weights clinking (although lead is fairly quiet) and probably it’s also about having the right density and not looking all lumpy.Yeah thinking the same .
