Voodoo Lounge (7/2/2009)
If I was being accused of this, and didnt do it, I would have responded a LONG time ago!!! Maybe I'm wrong, but the parties reportedly involved are all PFF frequent flyers!!
No matter how this turns out, It's a shame a tourney cant go on with either someone cheating, fishing in a no fishing area, or any other unsportsmanlike conduct.
what good would responding to something like this do if you were the accused. you'd just get more he said she said oh yea, well my friends cousins grandma saw you do it.

Mr.Sam Roberts you claim in your post that the accuser is a previous tournament winner.. My question to you is who is he. Are you stating this as a fact or rumor. If it is a fact why not name him and call him out.Now as for this only being a rumor. If I was the one being accused of doing this and had no part in it I would be clearing my name up. They all have looked at this thread and not one of them has responded. I my opinion that should tell you something.

you guys are worse than a sunday morning sowing circle. i wouldnt respond to empty rumors of he said she said i lost i went to the most commonly fished spot in the tournament and lost so clearly someone is a cheat.
you lost, he won. get over it. maybe he isn't looking at this thread. maybe your opinion isnt held in high enough regard to respond to by the winner. Maybe even, he is still out partying on the money he won beating you in the tournament. who knows.

well, heres how i see it. First off, if all this is b/s then thats pretty sad. a tournament usally brings people together, i mean look at the offshore part. people were in danger and others came to help. with just a hint of foul play you cant help but question and point fingers. Secondly, if it is true, its sad because rules and laws have been broken. i would hope that with evidence or not the " tournament committee " would be investigating this and taking it seriously. People paid good money to fish this thing knowing that there are rules to follow. the one time cheating is overlooked is the time that tournaments are worthless. its just hard to trust people now a days. If there is a fishing tournament going on, someone is cheating. Just the way it is. Wasn't the biggest king ever weighed in the Bud Light history (weighed low 60s) later nullified because it was caught by a commercial fishing boat and given to the tournament winner? Tournament fishing is for the birds.

That's the thing, most of the time there are rumors of cheating all over the place. You just never hear them because most cheaters don't win. When they do, duck and cover because it WILL hit the fan.

Actually, I think it had an actual (*) next to the weight in the tournament book years ago saying it was later DQd.

| Cheating happens in all kinds of tourny's. Some have it down to a science. Why? Money, Fame. Some people feel good about cheating & winning. Same reasons to cheat at other things. Some think that "WINNING" takes precedence over everything else regaurdless of who or what it hurts or destroys. If we took out the money & made them Charity tournaments, Boy would the world change. Donate the winnings to your favorite charity. Cheaters wouldnt get in it. They'd go back to thier other leagle lifes. I have pretty much Quit tournaments because of this. I've known some who win there own tournament! How does that work? Maybe Im just Jealous of all the winners. I am proud of all the Honest leagle winners.

Time to live & learn from it. Did it or not! Dont repeat it. Next year, Prove em wrong! Dont allow cheaters to fish on your boat bringing you down with them. Recreational tournaments are mearly that! Leave them that! Cheating fishers are just living thier normal lifestyles. And in time thier undoings will show! UPstandind people dont cheat! Stay up there! Congradulations on a well deserved tournament. Also Chris Phillips is an Upstandind young man! Never heard a bad word or seen a frown! He's a role model for the fishing young!
