Bass Fishing Tournament Weighted With Scandalous Cheating
« on: August 03, 2010, 09:28:02 PM »
Quote from: Article by Pete Thomas, GrindTV.com
A professional angler found to have stuffed lead sinkers down the throats of fish he submitted for weigh-ins during a prestigious bass-fishing tournament has been banned for life from that and other competitions in a scandal that has rocked the tight-knit and passionate bass-fishing community.

Mike Hart, a successful Southern California pro whose career earnings total more than $200,000, was accused of cheating in this manner during the recent $100,000 U.S. Open held at sprawling Lake Mead on the Nevada-Arizona border. An official with the Western Outdoor News bass tour said Hart confessed after he was caught virtually red-handed.

What a idiot. Giving a bad name to the Bass Fishing World. I hope he had to give the money back.
