Pymatuning Lake Crappie Tournament

just to let anyone who cares know this isn't an isolated case. i also fished this tourney and placed 6th. i was never subjected to a polygraph test but behind my name you will find questionable. my question is why? am i a local? NO! do i know wooden plug? YES! did i cheat? NO! if wooden plug was dqed i should move into 5th spot. that means they owe me money. that goes back to keeping the money local. also at 5th place you are not required to take the test they only tested 1st thru 3rd. i'm willing to take a test but was never offered that choice. so iguess i'm suppose to just accept my name being slandered by the pymy lake assoc. any one who knows me knows i catch fish. the people at tuttle campground sure saw me with plenty of fish that week. trust me that lake is plenty easy to fish. if the lake assoc. wants to pay my gas lodging and time off work i'll gladly come back for a rematch with the top ten teams. well thanks for letting me vent and sorry for going so long

That is pretty shady..  Sorry to hear that.

just when you think youve heard it all something like this occurs. curious to know what they did with the 5th place $$$.

just looked at the roundup website and according to the standings they pay to 4th place and base the prize $$$ on 80 teams. according to their total there were 73 teams.

whats even more curious is all of this for 3rd place which pays a whopping total of a whole $300. thats based on a 80 boat team, so 3rd place didnt even receive that.

ready2fish,
  No, there was not a boat check .As a matter of fact you didnt even meet at the same place in the morning or anything.You could launch from any wheres you wanted to. Yea Ive fished alot of bass tournaments in the south, and this was completly different. And no they didnt even give us our entry fee back.Which was $45.00. And they also knocked the prize money down nearly $100.00 for each place. They said because 80 boats did not enter. Only 73. Come on 73? 80? Get my drift? Ha! I was MAD but now as I think about it I only laugh. What else can you do? The thing that gets me the most according to the polygraph. I dont know who I am , where I was born, and where I live now! HA! HA! HA!

I agree,with part of your stuff, And I dont have a problem with a polygraph,as long as it is one that works. The thing this guy was using looked to be older than me.He even said it was old before the test. I know it didnt work because I answered all questions truefuly,and missed every question. Why would a Person have to cheat on a lake like this, when you can catch fish there with your eyes closed..that is the only thig that Im upset with, is that they are calling me a liar, And a polygraph isnt even held up in a court of law. Especially one that dont even work.

Well I think they should poly all those guys runnin 20-30 HP Tohatsu's and what not in the pymy bass tourneys.......Or am I just jealous because my team runs a legal motor and we get blown away and almost get flipped by the wakes of the 50 boats in front of us ......

Do they ever polygraph people for this ?

just to let everyone know. i was the 6th place team and i was not dqed apperently i just have a guilty mind. the lake assoc. tells me the reason for questionable behind my name is i didn't stay for a polygragh test. it doesn't matter that i wasn't asked to stay or that there was no reason for me to stay i wasn't a winner. but regardless i won't move into 5th place they aren't paying 5 places now. if i'm questionable cuz i didn't take a polygragh does that make 7th,8th, 9th,ect. questionable also?

grouse hunter, glad to see someone else noticed the scales.when i asked the lake assoc.about it they said it seems funny i was the only one who noticed that.

TRAP JAW, If you would of read the first post you would of noticed nobody is whining, Just letting people know that if your a outsider, AND YOU DO NOT WANT TO DONATE TO THE LAKE ASSOC. AND THE LOCALS. IT WOULD BE WISE NOT TO ENTER THE TOURNEY!!!, As far as the 250.00 prize money I can **** that little bit of money out of my right or left ,ear any day of the week! Its the princiable,and the way they handled it. Nobody lied. They just wanted to pocket the money. BUT AGAIN, ITS NOT THE MONEY IM WORRIED ABOUT.ITS THE FACT THAT THEIR JUNKEY MACHINE AND THEIR PEOPLE ARE CALLING ME A LIAR !!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS STUFF YET? PAY attention to the original post!!!!! Got it TRAP JAW????? You are not still getting it, ARE YOU? Well sorry, I dont have time to go through it with you again. Ive Got Fish To Catch.. HA!! And as far as fish, the day of the Tourney Me and my partner caught well over 50 crappie that day and quit fishing around 1:00 to go weigh in. And we also had a ball!! Im going back next year and staying at the same campsite. and going to have a ball again.

Trap jaw,  I am not whining by no means I had a blast and will do it again next year by the way. just pointing out what I saw, it was only 40 dollars to enter and the fish we caught I would of paid 100 dollars. I totally agree with plug being called a liar would upset anybody unless you are a liar. I didnt say anything about the scale cause it was are fist time in any kind of tournament and we sort of felt a little out of place thats all.

Commander, I hope it was at least lucrative for the bait shops.  When I paid $1.75 for a dozen fatheads at the marina, I almost cried.  Oh well, like you said the amount of fillets we brought home that weekend greatly made up for the bait.  I'll definitely be getting my fatheads here in Zelie before I go up next time though. 

Plug, thats where we fished also, but we didnt drift we anchored fished minnies also, seems like everybody was drifting, but we put fish in the boat both days. I had some friends fish last weekend in the same place and they were still killing them, kicker was they were trying to catch walleye. also to egg sack we talked to you at the tournament I was with the guy that had the eye black on. I realize that it would read a negetive number with the basket on, but it never read the same I watched them weigh 10 or 12 different times. doesnt really matter to me I had a great and will do it again next year.
