CatfishKev Report post Posted October 2, 2022 I saw that. Wouldn't 8 pounds worth be way overly obvious? Seemed like a set up of some sort.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These guys have been winning all sorts of tournaments there the last couple years. They won $300k last year and one of them won a boat valued as $150k. If you watch some of the videos, you can see that they used filleted walleye to help the fish “swallow” the weights. These guys have passed lie detector tests in the past but they also failed a test one time which led to them being DQ’d. A lot of the other anglers suspected they were cheating but had no proof. The kicker is, in that video, they had 30+lbs of fish and 2nd place only had 16. I read that had they not added weights, their limit would’ve still weighed more than the 16lbs. They essentially cheated for no reason in this tournament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted October 2, 2022 Oh, so the weights were spread out over a handful of fish I guess? I took it to mean all in one fish thinking there was no way it wouldn't be obvious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZBIG10 Report post Posted October 2, 2022 Not one of those fish were over 5lbs. Not very good maths but 33 lbs for a 4 fish bag you'll need a kicker and some 5s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should’ve been a beat down at that weigh in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
