FISHING CHEATERS SENTENCED to 1 YEAR in JAIL! 

Amazing,... go to jail for cheating in a fishing tournament but nothing for cheating in a presidential election.

Every video from now on should start with "we got weights in fish!!!" 🤣

This is one of the reasons I don't do tournaments. I'm convinced that outright cheating or at least bending the rules happens often. I'm a kayak fisherman, and competing in it would absolutely ruin the relaxation and enjoyment aspect for me

That's why I stopped fishing tournaments after years and years of fishing them. I really enjoyed the competition and friendships but You can't beat cheating. After the 3rd time cheaters that were caught at a tournament in New York, the wind came out of my sails.

These stories need to be shared more not swept under the rug, These always gonna be someone looking to cheat at anything when money is on the line, Spread the word and up the fines

I've seen people put fish on stringers and tie them on submerged trees, put fish in tubs, have fish in live well from previous day. I even seen a guy try to weigh in dead fish he came up on while fishing..........I stopped fishing that club after seeing these things.......it cost you too much of your time and money for tournaments for people to cheat like this

I was told as a kid that a liar and cheater are one and the same and don't never trust them.

If they got 1 year I can’t wait to see how much time the guys at Lake Erie are going to do!

I work on one of the most active walleye charters on lake eries western basin, we had a lawyer on the boat who handles fraud cases, he told me that the the guys who cheated on the lewt will definitely be facing charges.

Keep up the grind bro. We love all your hard work your doing for our entertainment. Thanks man

A good lesson to all the cheaters out there!!

I and my 12 year old son were in a rough fish bow tournament. We did ok, but were beat out by a team who had about a dozen fish that were stiff and had no eyes. Obviously a day old. They won. 25 bucks. Last tournament held there.

I love fishing, I love competition. But, whoever started this getting paid to fish and hunt is BS. Leave it to man to literally ruining a peaceful past time

Keep up with the cheater content, after this recent Lake Erie Walleye incident ive been wondering how many other people have been caught - and your channel has delivered some killer cheater reviews! Keep them coming and im sure you will break 100k subs in no time!

If people will cheat at something like fishing, just think what they will do on something like _Voting._

I’m sorry that’s still not enough. It’s jerks like this that hurt us. And 1 year sentence an only 30 day I call BS!!!!!!

So, after several conversations, I have come up with a way to punish these cheaters. After they "win" give them the check. Then they have actually completed the crime. This provided they have been found to be cheating. Maybe a metal detector wand afterwards? Then they can truly be prosecuted.

Pathetic ! But it would be nice to be a fly on the wall when they have to explain to their employer as to why they need 30 days off from work !

…and domestic terrorists only get 6 months, because we don’t want to hurt their delicate feelings…

Going to far on these cheating SOB'S fine them take their boat and their truck and there fishing equipment, but don't make the taxpayers pay for there F*** Up

These vids are so interesting. Can't help but watch when you post

You should be thanking those bass cheaters. It’s you’re thing now

I wonder if they have any guns or boats for sale, cheap? I’ll give them pennies on the dollars.

Bro you may as well rename your channel to Fishing Cheaters. Why are you continuing to Highlight Negativity. For Views your just as bad as Jake & Chase at this point!!!!!

Their fines weren't enough. Not near enough.

Ironic that new inmates are called "fresh fish".

I live in Guntersville and they actually were fishing a little tournament that fishes every Tuesday and Thursday 5pm to 8pm maybe 15-20 boats at most. They got caught because another fisherman followed them because they kept bringing in big fish and he wanted to see where they were fishing. He followed them one afternoon on one of the tournaments and seen them pull up to a boat house with about 30 minutes left to go in the tournament. One of them went inside the boathouse and came out with a net with fish in it. So he reported them to the game warden who set up and got everything on camera in the next tournament and went to the weigh in and confronted them there. And I think they only lost their fishing license for a year. Prize money was only like $200 for first place

“Just guys that fish on Thursday” 😂😂😂

I fished tournaments, I never thought of cheating though. Strange mindset on those guys.

If you cheat you going to get caught!! Put that on shirt!!

Why are you wearing a hoody? Your an adult right?

Only a year they deserve a longer jail sentence, how many hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of prizes did they fraudulently win The judge needs to resign this is not justice,

Whenever there is competition, people will cheat to win. Some competitive people are just so competitive, that they are willing to cross that line into cheating territory and see nothing wrong with it. This is why punishments need to be severe, so that these people might have a chance to second-think what they about to do before they cheat. 'If I do this and get caught, this will happen'.

I don't trust any of these team tournaments

This seems like your new niche, I enjoy the videos, if you have videos of them getting caught that would be dope. Your killing it I appreciate the videos I didn’t know how prevalent it was

I believe the payout was $45,000 for what they would’ve won if they hadn’t gotten caught. Let alone all the other tournaments that they cheated on.

Absolutely embarrassing to a sport that has always been reputable......hold these POS accountable!

Surely someone had to have known about these cheaters. Sooner or later cheaters are caught!

It's not cheating it's robbing get it right 😤

A few years ago. We took second place behind a couple of guys in a benefit tournament in Missouri only to find out later that the guys were meeting one of their wives at a remote secluded boat ramp and she would have a stock tank with the fish they needed to win. Unfortunately they were long gone by the time a witness found the tournament and testified to what they saw. But the director called the guys and asked them to submit to a polygraph and after 6 months they never complied , needless to say they have not showed their faces in Missouri tournaments since. I call that an admission of guilt . And I will always consider that tournament one of our 1st place wins.

how did these guys get **sentenced** before most fraud indictees even get charged 🙄

Just watched Jimmy Houston's comments on cheaters too! Love the exposure.

Cheating comes in many forms. Using A Rigs when your lake only allows one line with one hook at a time.

So much for " if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying"..lol.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Back in the 80s. They love putting fish in a wire basket. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

5000 bond is nothing you pay 3% of that unless its cash assured and it was not

That tournament was worth $40,000 prize and overall this year they won $300,000 in tournaments. Overall- throughout their time cheating $3 MILLION. So it wasn’t something small 🙄😬

That's a slap on the wrist for stealing tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years

In the 80s 2 guys were bringing in from Florida to northern Louisiana tournament. Ouachita/ Darbonne Everyone knew the guys were bad fisherman and the fish weren’t color correct. They got caught and committed suicide.

Wow ... That was quick !!! Too bad we don't serve justice as fast for politicians .

Hopefully theyll be ordered to pay $ back to other competitors.

I don’t think their punishments are harsh at all! In fact, I think they are a little too light. You have got to make their punishments substantial in order to discourage these types of shady dealings among competitive fishermen! The guys that put leads in fish stomachs or cut the tails of fish to fulfill the slot limits should be made to serve a much longer prison time than these guys as well as having to pay heavier fines!

1 year.... ridiculous....over the top. Fines and ban them. That's it.

I think the sentence was justified and appropriate. Part of the purpose of the justice system is to send a message to others not to do it.

So 2 guys cheating during fishing get 1 year in jail yet a Nascar driver can ram someone at top speeds and... crickets. A Dallas Cowboy can be involved in a drive by shooting murder and..... crickets. Strange world....

Could you imagine being in the joint.... Even if only for 30 days.... And some hardened, hardcore pipe hittin' mo fo approaches you and asks, "Yo, what you in for?" And you have to provide "the real answer"....smh

So Glad to see Cheaters get Caught and LOOSE THEIR FISHING & HUNTING PRIVILEGES FOR LIFE

Seems somewhat excessive considering what serious criminals get their charges pleaded down to....but I guess they got what they deserved.

We have catfish tournaments here , I am an excellent catfisher. I can definitely hold my on when playing fair. But I refuse to fish them because almost everyone cheats. They have trot lines out , go take the fish off and say they caught them on a reel. It's more like a the best cheater to win and not get caught tournament. All for like a 100 bucks.. Absolutely stupid what people will do for 100 bucks and to impress your peers. Morans!!!

Yo, quit saying the word "guys" every 5 freaking seconds. Couldn't watch .

Money is the root of all evil. If you ain't cheating, you're not trying. Cheaters never prosper. How many more cliches are there out there on the subject? The one I like the most is, some people learn the hard way.🥴🍻

Unfortunately for them that’s the way the Law should work. If you purposely commit crime the sentence should be stiff, to deter others .

If you're caught cheating: your vehicle, your boat and everything in it, should get confiscated.

You can't prove the fish didn't eat the sinkers. I would sue you for deformation of character. I forgot Jonny Cockaroch is dead.

They deserve that, sucks for them they'll be missing salmon season, turkey season, deer season. Everything they did is equal to consequences that's much fitting.

Love the topic and facts. But dude, stop repeating yourself. The videos could be 1/3 the time. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Like all tournament with big money-when the money gets big enough-cheating will always happen. Even in chess for god sakes.

They didn't actually pay 5k for bond. That's what bails bondsmen are for but they should've had to pay restitution to the club members equal to the amount of their total winnings

This is cheating is not new. I knew people who were doing this 40yrs ago. They were “professional “ bass fisherman.

Embarrassing themselves and family and forfeiting fishing and hunting privileges for life is a huge price to pay for cheating in fishing tournament. Hope a couple of hundred dollars prize money was worth it. Do the crime , you pay the time.

Hey, I agree with you for being upset it’s just unsportsmanlike there’s no honor, but honestly what does a criminal what does a pervert and what does anybody of new ones like and really look like what does a cheetah look like? Not trying to sound like a dickhead dude I know you’re a better man than that I watch you.

Guh-less-pee, they don’t play around here Thursday nights are about 60 bucks with 20 to 50 boats

1 year? Electric chair!

Trashy af to keep a bass in an aquarium that size..what’s the point of that?

You're wearing a hat with a Hoodie indoors with your headphones on. Are you to be funny, because that's hilarious.

What is the glory or whatever in cheating. I am an avid fisherman but never competed in a tournament. Cheating would never cross my mind. First I wouldn't do it but 2nd what fun would it be to win that way. I guess for most of the cheaters its the money and fame. What loser's

Forfeit their hunting permit? I mean yeah they are pieces of shit but denying them the ability to feed themselves? That's a penalty I wouldn't follow.

Dannngggg those guys got destroyed by the judicial system lol. Play stupid games win stupid prizes lol. The walleye Cheaters truly deserve at least a year and jail and massive fines. They should be fined all of the winnings they’ve earned for the last 5 years and all of those should be distributed to all the 2nd place finishers that lost because they were cheating

You pay 10% of bond and would you rather have a felony or 30 days in co clink I'd pick the one were I can still own a gun most fishermen are hunters as well maybe thay were getting a deal that's a deal I'd lobby for if I were them

The judge was probably participating in the bass tournament

Wish there were videos on these clown's. Alot of tournaments are banning them spycams now, which I agree should be banned

If a bank robber goes to jail and they didn’t that wouldn’t be fair…

If you can get god to be a witness, 99 percent of fishermen will be in jail. 😂😂😂

Ppl kill ppl and dont go to jail but yaw worried bout cheaters in a fishing tournament goin to jail. The world we live in is so backwards.

Anytime there's money involved and sometimes when there's only bragging rights, there are people who will cheat. I'm old and only got into online gaming after I retired, but I've seen so many cheaters in gaming and I have a family member who actually brags about cheating in those games. All you can do is report them when you see it and hope that the cheating doesn't affect your own performance.

That’s a 50,000$ bond at 10% of bonds is 5,000$ essentially they sold their car for gas money

Tournament fishing is the worst. Surprise.

These guys get a sentence but murderers get probation to go kill again. I'm not saying they don't deserve it but

Bail bondsman only take 10% so they only paid $500 in Bail

The best cheaters should go in the house of fame like Cominsky . Cannot get enough of those stories coming from across the pond . bring it on .

This is basically the same thing TC was doing, but he was doing it in big-time pro tournament's

All I give at shit about is the poor fish ,, and good luck in prison though 😂 all over a fish !!! It’s mad

Outside of cheating in theb tournament, is the possession of the fish in a barrell illegal?

Get 1 year for cheating at fishing but walk way free after being caught with 50lbs of fentanyl!

Copied mike long’s tactic for cheating😂😂😂.

What is sad is these fishermen get jail time and yet criminals in cities like New York commit way worse crimes and get nothing. I don't agree with the sentence. I think if they would apologize and ask for forgiveness and if they can sincerely show they mean it they should not have to go to jail. The public humiliation is worse than the jail time.What they should have to do is make some type of reparation. They should be put on probation for a period of time.They could do a lot of things public works, paying fines, this kind of thing. If they both have jobs and families by putting them in jail you are going to hurt the families. It could be the families didn't know they were cheating. These fishermen should be banned from fishing in tournaments. Unfortunately there are always going to be cheaters.

We have a lad called Karl Nicholls in the UK north west he keeps fish in a bucket for matches and won several matches and to make it worse he would have his kids go to next angler to get measured

All I know there’s no ponds in jail. No way I’m risking not being able to fish.

One year in jail for cheating. They should spend time in jail until all their winning are repaid to the contests they cheated

They need to be fed fish for breakfast, lunch , and dinner. ,for one full year. Nothing else
