As a retired 30-year employee of a State wildlife agency, and a lifelong bass angler, GREAT WORK! When I first heard the story, knew it would go nowhere except to Gossip Land. Release of the fish was so wrong. Calling a game warden should be the first step taken by anyone discovering or observing a wildlife violation. Inserting yourself into the incident will preclude law enforcement action. Yet another missed opportunity to hold someone accountable for cheating.
40 plus years ago a guy did time for cheating in a tournament in Louisiana. Someone found some fish in a cage.They contacted law enforcement. Law enforcement marked the fish. Law enforcement was at the weigh in posing as a biologist looking at fish. When the biologist saw the marked fish, he motioned to law enforcement this was the guy cheating. The guy was arrested after checks were handed out and the crowd was dispersing. Think he did 6 months in jail.
Thank you, I genuinely appreciate that. I really respect those who can disagree on some things while giving credit on others. It is a highly admirable quality! Thank you sir. Sincerely, thank you. 👊💯
@ I liked it. Some of these channels are just getting stupid with trying to be first and their thumbnails are ridiculous. If they couldn’t regurgitate what others say, they wouldn’t even exist.
Thank you, that truly means a lot. I do my best and I take fact finding seriously...even though it tends to piss people off sometimes. 🤣@@dannypruitt444
He is lucky it was just an adult beverage lobbied his way. Guilty or innocent, mob mentality for alleged cheaters at fishing tournaments is not to be taken lightly.
I live in Georgia and didnt here anything about high water at West Point Lake. All the hurricane stuff was on the other side of the state. Im skeptical about this story as well. Bass fishing at every level is a DUMPSTER FIRE.
Yeah I heard about this I knew he wouldn’t get charged because he didn’t weigh them in. Believe nothing you hear and half what you see at least you’re closer to the truth lol
You know it's really hard teaching a 9 year old right from wrong. When he here's that the grown ups are cheating to get paid. I think we need to go back to fishing because you love ❤️ it . I remember when you worked all week then drove all night just to fish against the boys. But there's no money in that. So shit just need to pull the tit from those that cheat. Life time band. MR MT.
@forresttuxon8283 you're so damn right! Then you have people like Trait taking shots at the disabled again on her social media. That kind of person really is the worst kind of human. And unfortunately, there's too many of them.
@cerebraltackle you are so right. I'm disabled myself. But I don't use it as an excuse. I do everything I can everyday. So keep up the good work 👏 I really appreciate it. MR. MT.
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it !!!! I never made a comment on any of the videos concerning this topic. I have been waiting for you to comment on this first. Even after a second video was released on this, I was like, nope, not yet. After watching this, I'm glad I didn't say anything. Great video. It's nice watching a video knowing that what I'm watching is the absolute truth. The truth shall set you free !!!!
Thank you, friend! I appreciate that! As with most things, it takes time to develop a picture of what really happened. I know it won't get as many views, but at least it's something that I know is factually correct. 💯👊
I am late to the party… didn’t the guy agree to pay the prize money back in previous tournaments or is that misinformation as well??? I think I heard it from the other utuber guy
Well his name still got put out there and not in a good way! Not much can be done by law enforcement. However folks will not forget this quickly very unfortunate if he was innocent. Good video stating the facts and actions that can be taken for a situation like this.
@@Kendrix1 while absolutely correct, it's still up to the tournament officials who they allow to fish their trail. As long as he's not being discriminated against due to being part of a protected class, they can keep him from fishing.
@@JohnPaul-nh1xq says the guy simping for a Temu version of Gerald Swindle. 🤣 Maybe if you keep fighting his battles for him he'll eventually let you touch tips. 🤡🤣🤣🤣
@cerebraltackle , well said, buddy. Ya know if Slick would let his journalistic investigation 🔎 do his talking instead of his big mouth, maybe, just maybe, Cerebral Tackle wouldn't have to come in with actual facts and clean up his mess EVERY TIME !!!!
@slayerstacker2074 🤣 well first, ol Slick told me out of his own mouth that he's not a journalist, so we can forget that and any journalistic Integrity that would come with it. 🤣

Great job reporting the facts and not rumors.
Thank you, much appreciated!
Bravo Bravo Bravo. You are the man. No news would be bad news If you didn't get the facts! Keep up the good work CT.
I dont enjoy some of your takes on ffs but i do someone good at there job and your reporting of facts is top notch.

Again... Thank you CT for great journalism.
Thank you King! Much appreciated
Good stuff man. Was waiting to hear the real story from your channel!
@@wearcotton thank you, I am truly honored for that! 👊💯
It's seems to me that the whole world is lacking in morals.
Like the old saying goes, "It only takes one rotten apple to spoil the whole barrel". Remove that one bad apple and the rest are good.
You're not wrong! 💯
GREAT CONTENT!!

Yeah, according to the USGS, water levels got up pretty good there on the river. Remember, it all about those water releases up stream too.
Always an epic channel and info. Keep doing you
Thanks bud! It means a LOT! 👊💯
Thanks for the real info CT.
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Good work CT. It was not a Smart way to catch the Guy for sure
@@desertdog1125 thank you! Yeah, I can understand why they made the mistake. They wanted to do their part. But they were the wrong ones to do it.
@@cerebraltackle very true
Keep up the great work CT! This was one…fishy story! 😂
@@HukNBux thank you, my pleasure!
Yeah I heard about this I knew he wouldn’t get charged because he didn’t weigh them in.

@@winstonrocco1981 Amen!
Yeah they should have left the fish in the cage and then caught him red handed. When will the cheating in fishing end; smh…
Bingo! The only way it would have worked as if the game warden would have been able to case build.
Good job on getting the facts 👏. I'm so tired of the bullshit. MR MT.

Thanks for the facts !!
My pleasure bud! It's my passion!
I only fish West Point The lake is drawn down almost 11 feet, no high water
.
Ok, I will go with the USCOE and the USGS. Sorry. Also you contradicted yourself when you said they drew it down. Know why they do that? High water.

@@ericfinch2853 One trail, yes. Not everything he fished.
Ohh man, that sounds like an admission of guilt to me. One tournament? Or the whole trail of the tournaments?
@ericfinch2853 ehh, not exactly. But I can't say everything I know. 😉
great video sir

Look at the sponsor don't buy there stuff that said and angler would do that he not angler.
And I'm sure this isn't all there is to the story and at least one more nugget will pop up somewhere. 🤣
@@lancepoore3045 yeah, I can guarantee you there is an S-Ton more! I just can't say.
Always 💯
so he’ll be ok to keep fishing these tournaments I guess 😮
@@DennisDuffy-n8g no, hell no! There's nothing that says they have to allow him to fish. He'll never fish another one.
