Well interesting and sad story. These jokers were most likely serial cheaters as the story said they were suspected in a prior tournament of cheating. My first reaction was the jail time was not nearly enough but reading the story one of the anglers gave up the $100,000 boat they used so that is a pretty stiff fine. I'm sure they are banned from life from tournament fishing as well. How much punishment is enough! Some people would say crucify them and for extra measure shoot them after they are dead, while others will think losing a $100K boat over a fishing tournament is way overkill. I'm glad they were caught and I'm glad I didn't have to determine their punishment.

If these tournaments with bigger purses would use polygraph test every once in awhile it would stop another of that. I think personally one the first thing any trail should invest in is seeking a person that gives these. That should be included in most trails process fees they charge. Its unfortunate that these things have to be administered but thats the times we live in.

pretty sure the boat they had to give up is one they "won" in a tournament
