DJ0808 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Getting a conviction on the felonies would be awesome considering how much prize $$$ was involved and they've got a history of cheating, but even if they plea these down to misdemeanors I really hope they can make the misdemeanor unlawful ownership of wildlife for the fillets stick. Yeah on the surface it's only a misdemeanor, but the impact to them is huge because it can result in an indefinite suspension of fishing privileges which would keep these guys out of future tournaments and fishing in general.

Their names are mud now; I don't see how they could even show their faces at a tourney, let alone be allowed to enter. thefirstndsecond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefirstndsecond Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Not defending them at all but have a lot of questions. 1. I get the fraud, the contest rules, etc - yes prosecute, understand that part, although past fraudulent contest winnings might be difficult to prove. 2. What fish and game laws would they have broken? I just don't know what would pertain to a fishing contest and legally fishing but breaking the contest rules.. ?
