[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 288946, member: 272"] Waaaay back when the Mobridge ice tourney was in its infancy, and there were only maybe 80 teams or less, there was a huge walleye weighed in that the tournament officials knew wasn't legit, but couldn't prove it. They did stop having the calcutta after that. The tournament crew was out checking people and taking pictures, and a kid who was not in the tournament had a big 8 lb pig. His buddies from the same town, were fishing by him also. Low and behold those buddies weigh in a 8 lb pig. And just all proud too, with real smiles at the weigh ins. I'm not sure what it is in humane nature that rewards cheaters. Maybe ask the Russian athletes, who not only cheat, but go to all lengths not to be caught. The world championships for age classes are a joke. The Russians are sending out 15 and under kids with full beards LOL. I know I wouldn't want to win with an unfair advantage, in even a game of checkers. Maybe ask the Astros. Maybe they justify it in their head by convincing themselves that the rule itself is unjust, so not following it is ok? If you believe that a fish reeled in on the end of your line, even if snagged, should count a fish caught, then you might lie to cheat the foul hooked rule. [/QUOTE]
