BASS FISHING CHEATER Wins over $70,000 gets EXPOSED and BANNED FOR LIFE!! 

It seems that old justice needs to be brought back to the ramp. If the law isnt going to follow through perhaps the people need to handle business?

I'm just a small time channel and angler, so I never knew there was so much cheating going on. It's probably due to not many people talking about it. Thank you for bringing them to light.,

The fucking chewing gum!!! Sheesh

He needed a good old beat down with a 7’ heavy action casting rod.

Another great video (minus the big glob of blue gum?)!😉

Should be stripped of all his winnings, name removed from all records, made to pay back all his earnings. Picture posted at all major fishing events' not forgotten. Make it not so easy for the next cheat.

They got alot of people watching our tournaments here in the Nashville area.

Looks like he received a 6 month suspended sentence, fine, 120 hour community service and lifetime revocation of his fishing license.

First time seeing one of your videos and I enjoyed the content. Others mentioned the gum and I’m truly amazed that you just laughed it off considering you want viewers. Im not bashing at all and I’m surprised at what a turn off the gum is and even more surprised that you don’t care. I do wish you luck with your channel.

Couldn't finish the video listening to you chew that gum

I caught a guy cheating on Lake Fork. He cut the tail to make it go under 16”. I call the tournament director and told him to keep an eye out for the guy in the photo I sent him. To make a long story short,he failed the lie detector test and was banned from fishing that circuit.

I fished against him for two years,in bfl's and pro-am events and he was doing it then also

Thanks for these videos. Competitive fisherman need this info. I watched a few. Just a suggestion, you may want to consider not having gum in your mouth when speaking. It is distracting.

Paul lives up the street from me in Raymore- Big drunk… went to jail , crashed into neighbors garage all drunked up. Begged her not to call the cops. A total asshat.

I like the polygraph test on top three winners and big bass. A cheater really never wins...

Oh wait. The cheaters will probably start doing that too.

They need to spend more time working for the fish instead of cheating...I'd love to fish my first bass tournament ik I could do well but when your a poor country boy you have to watch cheaters like that getting all the opportunitys

Winning with Chevy Trucks! This guy is a sponsors dream.

This guy was caught cheating like 15 years ago! This is not new

That looks like Farva's brother from super troopers..

Paul is now in marketing. He sells FFS. (Kidding)

He comes from Texas he came to Missouri. He made a lot of money cheating.

Cheaters never cheat once

attached link.....There he is Mike Long... Bubba Jean Sportfishing....It Is HIM and still fishing in San Diego just switched from snagging LMB & bringing his own bass to Tourneys to snagging BFT!!!

Should take these guys fishing license away for life!

Didn’t this happen way back in 2005?

I dont understand how does this make the guy a cheater, he only had one fish that he took into weigh-ins, is it to much to say he did exactlly what the other guy did who hooked it by mistake, unless they watched him plant those fish there.

Dam cheater's take all that money and get away with it for the most part. What's wrong with people

He is on Facebook and not a fish picture in sight. He is older now but it's definitely him

Who gives a shit about the guys last name!

A simple, quick google search wouldve told you that jake and chase got sentenced to 10 days in jail and $2,500 fines…

I don't know how you say his name but you spell it C OCKSUCKER

If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying..

Man.....we have heard it all....just give it up....let it go....your beating a dead horse....we all have stories of suspected cheating

Why not just say the “F” word. Friggin sounds ridiculous

Ditch the gum

Face if you fish tournaments at any level there probably somebody cheating

gum in your mouth might be why you cant pronounce words, plus its tacky

That was super frustraming to hear you stumble over a rather simple name to sound out like 1000 times. TOR MAN EN

If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.

You don't have a lot of the information correct. I fished against him multiple times. He was even on camera doing this. They still couldn't catch him. I know exactly how he was cheating.

Spit out the gum..

Use a live scope in a tournament....ur a cheater

Quit the gum chewing when you talk.....

Sad isn't it? BassFans will remember that Tormanen was arrested after the day-2 weigh-in and charged with felony contest fraud. Tormanen allegedly tied fish to submerged stumps prior to the tournament, then weighed in at least one of those fish during the first 2 days of the tournament. At least one fish that Tormanen allegedly weighed in had been marked for identification by Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) wardens. Later that evening, BASS announced that Tormanen admitted to violating Louisiana state law. He was disqualified from the tournament and banned from BASS competition for life.

WORST STILL -- MIKE LONG... & YOU CAN BOOK HIM ON FISHBOOKER IN SAN DIEGO FOR TUNA... SO IF UR A CAPTAIN ON THAT SITE.......reflection?

The cheater in our county has the biggest club in south ga, get that

I was there at this tournament. I fished with this guy's amateur partner the day after he was caught cheating. I know how and what went on. The cheater used a flipping stick with a hook tied to the tip of the rod. He then would catch the line and wrap it up around the rod tip with hook and yank like he was setting hook. The line would break from the stump and he had the fish yanked 8nto boat. He cut the line from the mouth and then turned and put it into the live well. Trying to fool his am partner into thinking he caught it legal. Yes his am KNEW what was going on after the 2nd time he did this. But his partner was actually in fear for his life. He was afraid if he said anyting that he may have been drowned are attacked by this guy. He told me this was the worst day of his life that he had ever had sitting in the boat with this desperate cheater. Sad part what's the fish that he was cheating with we're not even big enough to make him a check. He also had sponsorship. His boat had a wrap from Applebee's restaurant on it. I have a lot more detail on this cheater but I'm going to let this go right now with this basic.

Spit the damn gum out dude lol

I was in pretty big tournament, regional type event. Fishing on a river system, 95 degrees in July, so weights to win and advance was low. I think on boater side, 12 something lbs. Won tournament. 6 something won co angler side, I was co angler. So on co angler side of you caught 2 fish you where in top 20. So you got to advance to nationals, points for year also, plus pretty good check. Top 40 from each side got paid. So my boater caught 3 , so I'd say total he had like 7 and change, I caught 2, I had lb and half fish, but 2nd fish weighed 3 and half good fish for conditions. We get to weigh in, I go get truck back it down to get boat out water, so I did. Before I got to truck I stopped checked us in, and got 2 weight bags. So we pull boat out, he's in boat I'm, on the ground. I had him 2 bags, and start get in the boat, he says I already got it. And pulls out my fish, already in a weigh in bag. Then takes his bag out, fish already in weigh in bag. He boogies on up to stage, while I'm standing there like wtf is going on here. I weigh in 2 fish for 3 and change. He weighed in almost 10 lbs, and came in like 8th. He switched my bigger, with one his dinks. I made 450$, but look in this series rule book, in bold black letters, it says, boater never touchs the co anglers live well box, and he never touches yours after fish have been put in both boxes. Each angler is responsible for keeping his fish alive, and etc. How he got 2 series weigh in bags I don't know. Just saying ...... cheating goes on in lot ways unfortunately.

There not cheating they are robbing you ,,any fished weigh,s in metal detector first ,,👍

You know. I've heard about these kind of things throughout my life. I always kind of thought it was kind of funny. But the older i get i realize how serious it is. Allot of guys put allot of time and money into this tournament fishing and try to support there family's from this. It's a job. I would be really upset especially if i was fishing in the tournaments against these guys that cheat. Knowing you wouldhave won it the cheater didn't win. If you got caught stealing money at a regular 9-5 Job will get fired and probly arrested. Unless you are a politition or a governer ect...lol then it's swept under the rug. But yes these guys need to be made examples of.

Cant even go out bass fishing and enjoy a local lake on the weekends anymore, too many stupid bass tournaments going on.

I like the cheater vids!

When you cheated when I was young you wouldn't have windows or tires before you left.....I promise those guys don't show up at the ramp anymore lol

He lived right by me, he won everything in our area. We had a fish kill on Truman lake one year and 12-13 pounds would win big tourneys and he would bring in 22 pounds. When I was a kid he was a big deal until he got caught. The dude vanished.

Lose the chewing gum. Very distracting

Don't chew gum while filming

I was in this tournament. I remember this guy getting into a Game Wardens truck and being hauled away. We were told he was arrested but they may have dropped the charges. He was casting over his lines and telling his co angler he had to stay on the back deck. He would act like he had a fish on but the fish hung him up, then he would go up to the fish and reach in the water releasing the fish from the line and acting like he caught the fish. We were told he actually weighed in two fish but who knows. If I am not mistaken, I think he was convicted of something but its been so long ago I cant remember. Also we were told he was using like 6lbs test not braid and he would just reach in and break the line and pull the fish up. Stories change over the years but one thing I can say for a fact. This did happen.

We can see your chewing gum moving around in your mouth when you talk.

This is why I don't bother fishing tournaments.

Usually only hardcore angler join fishing tournament .... They dont want the prize just for hobby though.

Absolutely disgusting.. and we wonder why our lakes are being raped!!!

I got into bass tournament fishing and then out all in the same year due to the cheating and egos. You have half the field that are good people and the other half that would cheat the first chance that they could. I seen a guy in our club wait till everyone else had their fish weighed and then had the scales re-zeroed because the scales clearly where giving a low weight. The issue is everyone else had let their fish go so he had 2-3lbs on everyone for free. This wasn't a new guy but one of the guys on the board. So that was the end of my short bass fishing career.

These cheaters should have a fine equal to ALL their past winnings and jail time.

I kinda listened to the video while I was reading all the comments about the distracting gum about to fall out of your mouth. I usually don’t comment much but I would have paid attention more. I hate cheaters.

Whats up with the gum dude???

Great video dude, but how many pieces of gum are you chewing on? I'm assuming it's gum....

Komisnky didn’t really disappear Not long After the trial he was charged with poaching deer

Sorry, The gum chewing is distracting, good content though.

Make it harder to cheat and eliminate pre fishing for any tournament tournament tournament

How about not showing everybody your gum all thru the video? Good God!

Makes you wonder. All these consistent anglers who keep winning. But how odd is it that every time they demonstrate some new lure, or plastic they can’t produce a fish.

in bass fishing if you ain't cheating you ain't winning

I was also wondering about the Walleye Cheats. Beginning to think after all the press, this will decay away and not much will become of it. Thanks for following these crimes.

No footage??? Hearsay..

We got weights in fish

Ken wood from the oskb is a cheater

The dude chace the walleye cheater lives in my town. I’ve seen him out mowing his yard. I don’t think it bothers him much. He has been in trouble since then. I heard something he gave his son counterfit money to go bowling. And got caught with that as well. Also got in trouble for domestic abuse to his girlfriend. Dude is no good. Im sure the little trouble from cheating didn’t affect him at all. To bad they didn’t slam him with way more than the slap on the wrist

Get rid of the gum.

Why is everybody worried about somebody cheating on fish cheating is a way of life for most people in the world everybody cheats I can't believe this is being treated like a new phenomenon

Smacking on that gum the whole time is driving me crazy. Spit the gum out for 10 minutes and record a video.

He actually was arrested by our local LA. DWF on charges of contest fraud in relation to that event.

I would like to see more videos of you chomping your gum in the efing microphone. Annoying!

Yeah I think most of the ones that get caught end up taking up Golf ⛳️🤣

Dude ! lse the gum before you start shooting your videos !

Here’s the biggest thing I understand that you know more boaters more money, bigger, events, more events! But when you got people that are coming in from out of state, you really don’t know who these people are and you can have somebody in a bass club that you never hear nothing out of them unless they win And honestly clubs should know who they’re dealing with before they let you win it. I think you should have to go through a background check and if there’s anything ever sketchy to where you’re a fucking sneak, where is though you’re a thief, or you’re just a funny fucking person that can’t just enjoy a great day on the water, my thing is this supposed to be something of great motivation and ventures to show your children that a trip on the water could be one of the greatest moments of your life and people say how can being on the water be one of the greatest moments of your life it’s a memory it’s a day that stays marked in your mind for decades, I still remember catching my very first big fish 13 years ago and I had to use a 35 pound motor with four batteries one day in a tournament and I won biggest fish!!!! so I got me a tournament legend bait casting rod and it was a Jirkbaits edition 66 I paid $60 in the tournament and $20 for the biggest fish and I won a $380 rod and I got to fish all day long and enjoy myself and I remember it like I was a little boy that hit a home run to win the game. Take care of everybody.

They need to disappear. Its disgusting, especially to all of us who were brought up fishing, with wonderful fishing memories of fishing with our fathers, then an asshole like this cheater comes along. DISAPPEAR (Tourmanin) dude.

Cheating has always been and always will be a problem when money is involved. Doesn't matter if it's tournaments or elections. I'm kinda an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth kinda guy. Anglers should make him wish he hadn't of done that, law enforcement should turn a blind eye.

Here is how you deal with cheating. Easy fix they should put motion cameras in various places on lakes just as hunters do for deer etc without letting anyone know that they have done so.

Its a shame that there are videos out there like these and channels exist because of cheaters. Not knocking you or others for the videos, just that these dirtbags are among us. Some people just suck.

Crazy. Don't here about this here in Tennessee

Being a Fisherman myself I find these actions disgusting. A part of the fun is the ups & downs much like life itself. They should be in prison

What is up with the gum?

#havefuncatchfish

dont chew gum while filming

Are you resurrecting this from 2005?? Witness protection... LOL

Get ride of the gum

Ha not my kids they are soft as a old beat up pillow 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve heard of cheaters use lead weights inside the fish
