MINNEWAUKAN, N.D. (KFGO-AM) -- Law enforcement is investigating who is responsible for cutting through a section of highway on the west end of Devils Lake.
Benson County Sheriff Steve Rohrer says it appears heavy equipment was used to allow boat access to part of the lake. He says he believes it took place early Mon. and may be tied to improving access for participants in the National Walleye Tournament.
The road, old Hwy. 281, had been under water in recent years. With a drop in the lake level, the highway was again exposed.
Rohrer says the road is owned by a township and cutting through it without authorization is illegal. He says he is following some leads.

Leads --- never found.

While I will let Shorts speak for himself, I don't think I'd say the above never got any publicity around here. It's just that one needs proof to pin the dog kennels on someone and the cutting of Highway 281.

Let's face it, these two clowns were probably getting away with cheating for years before a tourney official with a bit of testicular fortitude decided to cut open the fish right in front of God and everyone.

Do we have any such incriminating evidence that points at any one team?

These two walleye contestants stuffed lead weights in smaller walleye to win a tournament and got busted.

Agreed,i believe they just handed out sentencing, or just slow getting the results out,dunno?

 

[deleted member]

i think he had heard of the lead weights in fish. what he hadn't heard about was the excavation of old 281

 

[Allen]

Or, the dog kennels found around tournament time.

 

[johnr]

any and every time there is money on the line, you are going to get cheaters.

Fishing tournaments, are the worst.

If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying to win

Their sentencing popped up on you tube.

 

[Allen]

10 days. Not a lot of deterrence in that sentence.

 

[Davey Crockett]

I thought the case bled the poor me syndrome.

Do any of these tournaments do background checks on the angler? Maybe the bigger ones should start and ANY prior game violations would automatically disqualify a person from fishing them....maybe?
