I knew as soon as I walked up that the scale was heavy.   I seen three guys weigh in front of me and their fish weighed more than I weighed mine on the boat, yet my fish were bigger than theirs. So when they put mine on the scale it said 22lbs, I just figured he was doing a “big muddy basket” weight added to make the weights look better on paper, seems like something this guy would do.  Unfortunately he handled things terribly and was a dick to people and then tried to make it other people’s fault. That’s the problem imo, his ego and short temper got in the way. It would have been easy to announce once the issue was found that after weigh ins we are going to have an angler meeting with his committee members to resolve the issue. The problem is people lose faith in the system when there is an issue with what is supposed to be the constant. The fishermen were not the problem he was even if people were chirping about the fuck up they have the right to do it. With the field being 60 teams light I think a lot of people were upset with the tournament before any of this happened this year. His victim mentality and holier than thou spewing makes it pretty easy to see why the guy has the reputation he has and why stuff like this happens. Whether he was doing the tournament for good reasons or not he lost the fishermen and he lost the integrity of the competition. He ruined it he needs to own that, instead he blames other people.</blockquote>
