I don't know, Rob? I think of all of the teams in METRO and can't think of any team that would go to this length to win but reading this story you just never know who would make a horrible decision like this. I've heard of waving small metal detectors over the fish just to make sure everything is on the up and up.
This is not meant to offend anyone but I read this article and it made me furious. So I vent.

Ian, I can't believe anyone
Ian, I can't believe anyone in our club would resort to these lowly deeds. I do think it is good when cheaters get caught and it is publicized. These are the things that give our sport a bad rap. We all have to keep our eyes and ears open and not stick our heads in the sand. I know I have mentioned this before but one of the best things about the Metro is that competitors are willing to help each other and that forms a stronger bond of the club. On a lighter note I think someone is stuffing my bass with styrofoam LOL.
I don't get it at all.
I don't get it at all. Especially on a club level like our tournaments as to why someone would cheat. Sure, the money is nice but it is not enough to make a career out of bass fishing. To me it is about the social interaction and the competiveness and it is just fun!

I feel confident that we have
I am very confident that we have an honest group of anglers in MRA. If I didn't feel that way, I wouldn't be a member. I am happy that the FLW cheater was caught. In my opinion, this was a criminal act and should be punished as such. It is clearly fraud. Thanks for publishing the link Ian.
See you all on the water.
Who knows what possesses
Who knows what possesses people to do such things. Desperate people do desperate things.
I hope that one of the differences is that, as a small group, we form the kind of friendships that keep this from happening. The other thing is that we do not fish for nearly the kind of money that the participants in the big circuits can win. That being said, we know that it has happened in the past and, unfortunately, probably will happen again. There are some people that have to win at any cost - even if we were fishing for match sticks.
This does make me wonder how we could set up a metal detector . . . ????
