They should be sued for every penny they’ve won ever, and every penny of sponsorship they received, triple that amount in punitive damages, then banned for life from any competition of any kind. I hope fishing contests were their livelihoods and they lose everything.

Cheaters deserve whatever they get. Lots of pissed off fishermen there.

They should have thrown a net of fishhooks over the guy

*wtf

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by ant.

The biggest wtf here is that they haven’t been checking these fish all this time?

I didn't think it was possible, but looked it up (found this) and modern metal detectors can detect lead.
So there's really little reason the tournament judges weren't running a metal detector over every fish.
(a x-ray would be more definitive, but way more expensive and can't be battery powered)
