? cheating Dak Walleye Classic

[5575]

Ice cubes huh? I figured they take a needle and inject them with water. Incredible what people will do to win a tournament.

I’m actually incredibly surprised the turn out is as big as it is. Fishing against pros who livescope all day every day leaves the commoners chance at winning very low. Entry fee equals donation lol.

The fish were injected with water.
Funny you mention the donation deal because "donors " is what some call the non livescope tourney teams.
It's much more like trophy hunting than fishing these days as they only pitch at trophy size fish.

Tom Hyunh won it now two years in a row correct

Aren't money and technology supposed to improve everything for everybody?

Adding weight to fish in tournaments, guys running down coyotes with sleds, paying for Uber big gene-raised high fenced deer, wireless game cams, fishing turning into a video game, drone scouting and recovering, electronic posting from the couch, etc etc... I said it once and I'll say it again, damnnn I'm glad I got to grow up in the caveman era, Talk about a shitshow!

The introduction of the horse to the Americas began the technology era.

 

[westwolfone]

Just ban tournaments.

There's cheating in all of them and it sucks to be unfortunate enough to be fishing when one of these shit shows is on the lake.

Maybe start fishing for the enjoyment of it, if that's possible.

Don’t know if the guys running down coyotes with sleds is anything new. Hear stories about the 70’s when they were doing it with 340 Polaris tsx.

MT gov cup did a non live scope division but got little interest I think. The manufacturers love it for selling graphs but tournament fishing is completely disconnected from most boat fulls of families and friends enjoying a day on the water and looking to clean a few fish.

I'm talking solely in tournaments. You know most everybody in them and when a crew comes in on a shitty day of calling reeking of exhaust w/ 7 coyotes ya just simply know.. Money, shiny prizes and ego just turn some guys into bucks in rut. We definitely take it as serious as the next and are there to win but it's all simply for good dudes in the surrounding area/counties to get together and mingle after. 3 things in life: death, taxes, and cheaters I suppose.

Started it out on one of those ol studded x-country 340s after graduation from the kitty kat, old John deeres and those hideous yellow ski doos. Hell I think I remember and old white and blue one with Ford on it even. If i wasnt in school, working on the farm, practice or ballgames I was on my sled and/or bike.

 

[Paddledogger]

Oh yes...the days of the John Deere 440 Cyclone sled. I even remember a couple guys in my home town that drove Rupp sleds around.

It would be interesting to find out more on the non-FFS division in other tournaments. I do wish there at least one good tournament that would be "No FFS allowed". Use it for pre-fishing fine, but day of tournament, nope!

 

[Sum1]

I’d be curious to know how many in the top ten used live scope to win in these big tourneys.

 

[shorthairsrus]

Live scope is a drop in the bucket compared to the boat motor cost $$$s that are generally in these tourneys. The winner didnt have a 450hp or a kicker for that matter.

Include cheating on the golf course. I guess it’s all okay now days.

I suspect both injection and ice cubes are used.

Haha. I was wondering who’d call me out. I don’t ever recall you calling out a magaturd for derailing a thread.
