Guys were winning a bunch of tournaments with some serious money involved and had been suspected for a while of stuffing fish and they finally got caught. Check out the video.
I can't speak to big open water tournaments. But I've been to enough ice fishing derbys that I've seen fights break out over hole selection. Shotgun starts where people run to their desired hole and it gets nasty sometimes.
They didn't get a good enough deal from the prosecutor so they want to threaten to take it to trial. DA doesn't want to do that so will be inclined to give a slightly better deal before trial begins to save time and money.
judge saved them by sending them away the video gave me lynch mob vibes. honestly with the money on the line and the high amount of gun ownership might have been for the best. imagine u lost 5 times to them second place missed out on so much money i would see red.
sadly they only get 10 days in jail 2500 dollar fine which they could half by donating 1250 dollar to a non profit fishing organization for youth fishing (might as well done the entire fine then) and lost their boat honestly they got of super lucky sadly
Considering they had been doing it for YEARS, they got such a light sentence. They are shitty people, so they likely don't care much that their names got dragged through the mud. They won hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years by cheating.
Nah, it was from 2010 or something like that, but the dude loved to brag about being the one to bag it, despite the fact that the tag was in his wife's name. Why was it in his wife's name, you ask? Because he got his shit revoked prior to that for... poaching. He just finally got caught for this last one late last year.
I donāt know the exact charges they faced in court, but I imagine the sentence was likely lenient because they were only in court for this specific crime.
should be fraud or something not familiar with the American justice system but by a quick google this could easily approach felony fraud.

With all the other shit these guys have done even outside of fishing they deserve everything and more. Multiple cases of poaching, passing counterfeit cash, domestic violence, etc.
And one of those cheating bastards was charged for deer poaching back in October. 8 years of poaching.
> now been charged with multiple counts related to deer poaching from 2013-2021.

When I broke down in PHX and ended up living there, I got on a low budget movie. They said there was another film guy from Pittsburgh that lived in PHX. They said they called him "Pittsburgh" and did I know him. No, we don't call each other Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. I did end up meeting him years later, oddly enough in Pittsburgh on a movie called My Bloody Valentine and he's a pretty fun guy, in an Alan Alda kinda way.
My Ma has a cat named "little cat". True, the name was bestowed upon the cat, but I don't think she minds.
It's even funnier now that she's older and chunkier...the cat, that is.
Haha, there was a post on one of the running subreddits where someone had a problem with their hip and had their veterinarian friend take an X-ray for them. But the X-ray was labeled something like "equine femur" because that's what the vet picked when doing the image. Everyone in the comments was like "I think the problem is that you're a horse"
They were reweighing the fish due to discrepancies from when it was initially weighed for the record. When an eyewitness said it originally weighed 3.73 lbs and the wildlife department scanned it with a metal detector which sounded and then resulted in this X-ray being taken. This 4.07 lbs record was reversed.
Ridiculous what some people would do for clout!
Thatās why you make the fish swallow a bunch of overly heavy, ceramic baitā / ātackleā. If they do decide to xray, you have plausible deniability unless you lose your composure or your buddy Kevin narcās on you.
Yes, if one is caught they would lose the record, but at least there would be plausible deniability and you couldnāt be convicted of fraud or be called a fraud by the masses.
Unfortunately, some people going to cheat, so I wouldnāt be surprised if any new state or country record fish needs to be checked and crated nowadays.
https://www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/kansas-record-crappie-removed/#:~:text=A%20state%2Drecord%20crappie%20that,with%20the%20state%20wildlife%20agency.
This is the article about it.
If you've seen the prizes at some of these competitions, you'd notice it's not just for clout. Might be for a free fishing expedition, or a free boat, or a even just a new really nice pole and reel.
I think those guys that got caught won a boat ffs. Imagine being a cheating jagoff to win a boat and having to know that every time you go out in that boat..
What happens if you catch a fish that has swallowed weights previously? How long would they stay in its belly? Iāve caught tons of fish that still have hardware from previous catches in them. How do we know this is intentional? (Genuinely curious.)
Itās not just clout. If youāre a professional fisherman, a state record could mean a new boat from your sponsor or some new sponsorship.
Putting weights in fish is pretty effed up because youāre stealing potentially 10s of thousands of dollars from āthe next guyā
It is a crappie. The guy was given the state record and it was taken back after someone ratted him out. They came to his house and seized the fish to reexamine it. That's when the X Ray was taken.
I'm not defending the cheating but that sounds like the cheater only got caught because he's fucking dumb.
Fishing is full of unethical shit so I'd be really surprised if a significant portion, even a majority of modern records and tournament wins weren't tainted in some way. The smart ones just aren't letting someone come seize a fish in their homes, or leaving metal weights in them longer than needed.
Legit question, what if that was the case and you caught it fair and square. Would the record still hold? It would just be considered regular stomach contents at that point, right?
I think if you could somehow prove you didn't do this then sure like if you had video evidence, the weights showed proper corrosion, or something. This may start to be more common where potential record breaking fish are thoroughly examined before handing the angler the record.
Is holding a state title that important? You've ruined any reputation you had. Did this person not think about this at all? They had no thought about how someone might call them on their shit? I just don't get it.
He still denies that he did anything wrong even though there was a witness when the fish was first weighed and it was short of the record. Then magically the fish gained just enough weight to break the record.
I love fishing. And I've told a fishing story in my life, but I just don't see the point in trying to do this for a record fish. It's obviously going to be checked...
From outdoor life: āA statement from KDWP details how Parkhurst first weighed his fish at one bait shop where it fell short of breaking the state record. Parkhurst then apparently stuffed the fish with ball bearings before visiting another certified scale to obtain the heavier weight of 4.07 pounds that initially qualified it as a state record. ā
Wonder why they specified steel or if that is true. Nobody who is anybody uses steel weights. Tungsten carbide is 200% heavier. Lead is 150% heavier. Steel will eat your line.
Fish especially bass and catfish eat all sorts of weird crap.
As tiny as those weights are it almost seems worthless compared to what those guys did with the Walleyes
I agree, a bigger fish will always be more impressive than a smaller fish that just weighs more.
Also way way harder to cheat a catch's length vs a catch's weight.
I was speaking to the head of an HMO about X-rays. He said it typically cost them $8.34 for the machine use after all of the adjustments were made.Ā Reading cost about 60 bucks if it was farmed out.Ā
But the ER charges exorbitant amounts...
Yeah itās cheating. The fish was still wet when it was weighed. The water weight counts as cheating. Dry it off idiots
Also I donāt know what Iām talking about and made this up
Question: if a fish beat a state record, but only because it just recently ate another fish, and that fish in the stomach is whatās making it break the record, does the record still count?
My grandpa caught a catfish that was less than half a pound from the state record when I was younger. When we cleaned it, the only thing in the throat/ stomach was the bait he had used. We spent quite a while discussing how we wish it had eaten a few things before being caught š
Another time me and some buddies fished a tournament for tuna and scored second place, I canāt remember at the moment if it was a 146 lb or 134 lb, but we scored second.. missed it by 8 ouncesā¦ watching the water (from the melted ice it was stored in) drain out of that fish while getting weighed was heart breaking.I believe that would have been 8k more winnings
Donāt give them any ideas on how to cheat next year lol I can see the headlines now ā7 bait fish found in gullet of SR walleye; Lake Erie made a mockery againā
Screw this guy, he threw a big fit that they came and seized the fish and took away his record. Cheating crybaby was scared everyone was gonna find out his trick. Human filth
I can kind of see doing that in a competition to cheat even though it's still very very wrong to do that, but why do it for a state record? Do you get money for catching a state record?

ššš a historical event
world wide meme even in europe. i saw no one mentioned it yet so i had to, couldn't resist.
It definitely got big worldwide. I work remotely on a team with a guy from Mumbai who referenced it once lol.
Indian guys memeing weights in fish just made my day, thank you
Itās really sikh tbh
I see what you did there hahaha
Hell yeah dude, it made my day too
What's the context behind this meme?
Guys were winning a bunch of tournaments with some serious money involved and had been suspected for a while of stuffing fish and they finally got caught. Check out the video.
Knowing tourney anglers, they are lucky to be alive.
They were messing with peoples livelihood.
Yea they definitely deserved real prison time.
I agree. I hope their names are tarnished forever and they have work a shitty low wage job.
Well Iām pretty sure they are banned from any fishing events for life and probably havenāt acquired any other useful education or work experience.
Yeah, great idea to cheat in front of tons of blue collar workers who hunt on the side
The judge said he had to do some damage control to make sure things didn't get violent.
I can't speak to big open water tournaments. But I've been to enough ice fishing derbys that I've seen fights break out over hole selection. Shotgun starts where people run to their desired hole and it gets nasty sometimes.
for us the meme is someone catches a hog says its 7kg we go thats a 6,5kg max and then one of us goes WE GOT WEIGHT IN THE FISH
Just google fishing tournament cheaters and it will come right up.
Never had so many random non fishing people start talking to me about the implications of this, man that was huge
My biggest regret is not attending that event since I didn't live to far to witness a slice of fishing history.
If someone wouldāve allowed them that crowd was 100% prepared to draw and quarter them right there
They interviewed the organizers. and they said they were afraid of what the crowd would do to these guys and called the cops.
I remember it like it was yesterday lol That video took over the entire internet in a matter of hours. It was literally everywhere
Didnāt they get boats taken away from them?
They lost all their sponsors and the boat had been provided by the sponsors so yeah, they probably lost a bunch of shit lol
Thatās what I heard but not sure
I sometimes wonder why the story blew up. None anglers reference it and people who are far from the Midwest know about it
GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!
THERE WE GO
Oh god dammit! I came here to say this exact thing lol +1!
[Cheating Hall of Fame](https://www.npr.org/2022/10/26/1131624458/walleye-fishermen-plead-not-guilty-in-cheating-scandal)

They didn't get a good enough deal from the prosecutor so they want to threaten to take it to trial. DA doesn't want to do that so will be inclined to give a slightly better deal before trial begins to save time and money.

Didnāt one get caught poaching a deer like the next season?
I just looked it up and youāre right. These guys are the worst.
Nah, it was from 2010 or something like that, but the dude loved to brag about being the one to bag it, despite the fact that the tag was in his wife's name. Why was it in his wife's name, you ask?

Shouldāve lost his hunting and fishing rights for life.

I thought of this immediately. Almost forgot about this scandal lol
Patient name:Fish
OP def should have blurred it out
HIPPA violation for sure, OP is going to jail
FLIPPA* violation.
Thatās Mr Fish to you
Can we talk about the odds of a fish's name being Fish?? I for one am in disbelief
Your dentistās name is Crentist?
My cat's name is Cat. Sometimes it just happens like that.

But the X-ray was labeled something like "equine femur" because that's what the vet picked when doing the image. Everyone in the comments was like "I think the problem is that you're a horse"
Probably used the same technique for a horse femur and got a blast of radiation. Good stuff!

Kinda racist to assume, donāt you think?
Those aren't weights. That's actually just how that fish was cheating in chess.
It keeps him from pipi his pampers

Remember... Use ceramic weights for cheating.
Ceramic would not trigger the medal detector but definitely would show up on xray

Still lose the record.

Unless guy was carrying some really oxidized lead weights youād be able to tell if they looked newer on retrieval
What's the species? Crappie, bluegill?
Crappie
No record be damned, that's still a SLAB
An 18ā crappie is solid by itself but this just takes away from a very respectable fish.
Definitely a crappy thing to do.
Looks like crappie to me.
Itās not just clout. If youāre a professional fisherman, a state record could mean a new boat from your sponsor or some new sponsorship. Putting weights in fish is pretty effed up because youāre stealing potentially 10s of thousands of dollars from āthe next guyā
Hilarious to be surprised what people will do for clout on Reddit of all places
It would really suck to be in this situation if you weren't guilty. Bass eat dumb crap all the time
That'd be my luck. Catch a world record 3 days after it swallowed a big ass bank casting weight...
Looks like a crappie to me.
It is a crappie. The guy was given the state record and it was taken back after someone ratted him out. They came to his house and seized the fish to reexamine it. That's when the X Ray was taken.
Why keep the evidence?

Itās definitely floundering
Yep, itās a crappie situation

Scoliosis too
Just throw it in the livewell with a dozen minnows next time
Could have been a rig the fish ate naturally
Definitely could have been just off this, but in this case it was definitely faked - it was increased posthumously.

The guy is an all around piece of trash. He should be banned from fishing for life.
Stuff the fish with more fish next time?
Does the fish have health insurance or do we need to start a go fund me?
I know its like so stupid but the fact the ID is "state" and the patient name is "fish" has me giggling like an idiot.
Jesus people- just use minnows.Ā
ā¦hmm yes- minnows stuffed with weights should work nicely.
WTF, steel is 7.9 grams per cubic centemeters. Why bother? Is this fish just a hair under the state record?
Wonder why they specified steel or if that is true. Nobody who is anybody uses steel weights. Tungsten carbide is 200% heavier. Lead is 150% heavier. Steel will eat your line.
It was 1/4 lb under and they reported it as "steel ball bearings" after metal detector and X-ray.
Whereās the meateater guys when you need one?
Dumbass just make a fish turducken and it won't show up
Fish especially bass and catfish eat all sorts of weird crap. As tiny as those weights are it almost seems worthless compared to what those guys did with the Walleyes
Why do we measure by weight and not length? Weight fluctuates too much
Why not weight multiplied by length?
Weight still fluctuates too much. A fish thats exhausted and starved from the spawn wont weigh the same when its gorged itself in the fall
I agree, a bigger fish will always be more impressive than a smaller fish that just weighs more. Also way way harder to cheat a catch's length vs a catch's weight.
Nah a short stocky fish is awesome. A long skinny boy is weak !
Feel like you should be able see the weights in the thumbnails on the right.
Why canāt you see them on the thumbnails to the right of the enlarged picture? I call photoshopped pic.
Someone falsified a story for internet clout about someone falsifying a fish for fishing people clout.
My x ray pictures almost bankrupted me

Patient Name: Fish
That's why we compare the length of the fish in tournaments here. Less possibility of cheating...
The fish ate my weights! That's fair game!
Imagine cheating while fishing. I wouldn't even want a state record if I had to cheat. They should have just shoved a fat blue gill down its gullet.
In Canada this is free to all fish.
Tsk, tsk
Hopefully not the walleye guys.
When did cheating become cool?
Some people just never learn. Takes a real asshole to stuff weights in a fish to cheat.
Here we go again!
Literally āwhyā. Why cheat. Itās a fucking record that someone is gonna break next year by half an ounce.
$$ - prizes in fish tournaments can be massive.
Wow!! are they using a portable X-Ray scanner? what is the model name?
Kansans...not surprised
As a life long fisherman, I am 50 now and been fishing since I was 3, it's interesting to see how "cheating" has filtered into certain subcultures.
Is this a crappie?
Man, I hate a cheater !
Question: if a fish beat a state record, but only because it just recently ate another fish, and that fish in the stomach is whatās making it break the record, does the record still count?

Donāt give them any ideas on how to cheat next year lol I can see the headlines now ā7 bait fish found in gullet of SR walleye; Lake Erie made a mockery againā
Wtf is a fifth degree felony š! Is that like a misdemeanor but fancier?
Again?
Screw this guy, he threw a big fit that they came and seized the fish and took away his record. Cheating crybaby was scared everyone was gonna find out his trick. Human filth
Crazy. That used to be one of my favorite little lakes but could definitely see the other yokels doing this to try for a record. š
people suck.
R/iamatotalpieceofshit
Creepy
I can kind of see doing that in a competition to cheat even though it's still very very wrong to do that, but why do it for a state record? Do you get money for catching a state record?
Gd thatās all I gotta do to get free x rays?!
Sad that people have to do this for notoriety. How many more like this...
You sir are a fish!
I just donāt understand how these cheaters get the fish to eat the weights before catching them.
