RE: Cheaters
I can't think of many. 7-8 years ago a couple guys I knew went in a catfish tournament. When the day was over, they camein with over twice the lbs of fish as anyone else. I knew these guys weren't quite that good of fisherman, and it was pretty obvious to me how they caughtthem,after seeingthe old telephone cranksitting in the back of the truck(after contest).
But it was a fund-raiser contest... no prizes awarded.
