Cheating scandal at U.S. Open rocks bass-fishing community

A professional angler found to have stuffed lead sinkers down the throats of fish he submitted for weigh-ins during a prestigious bass-fishing tournament has been banned for life from that and other competitions in a scandal that has rocked the tight-knit and passionate bass-fishing community.

My wife told me that if I didn't stop fishing every day, she'd leave me. Some days, I really miss her.

    Didn't read the article, but isn't that "trick" duhhhhh, a bit too cliche to try and pull off in a large tournament.  That should only be pulled in local redneck rabbit hunting contests. hahaha.

    What a scumbag he is banned from all WON tournament events and in my opinion he should be banned for life in BASS and the FLW as well.  There is no room for this in the sport
