I know everything comes out in the wash sooner or later,But I realize that this is a mistake/bad decision on his part,We are all human and if we were perfect then we would not need a boat but we could walk to our favorite honey hole on the water..He should not be allowed to fish the touraments any more but friends are friends and a true friend would forgive and forget,but to move away in shame no-way.I'm sure he has whooped his self enough but remember forgivness is the key...The LORD has and will forgive us for the things we've done whether people know about it or not..but HE knows all.I use to be a bad judge of people some before I ever got to know them..and finally glad I did get to know right many of them..I try to raise my children the best way possible and many lessons I try to teach them come from my mistakes...so I would not shun this man if he takes satifaction in doing such a thing so be it,but what you do today you will sleep with at night...GOD Bless and Good honest fishing to all...Russ

This is what happens when something fun is turned into a competition with money.

With Apologies to JIG'R,KILL THE CHEATERS,AND LET GOD SORT THEM OUT!!!!I understand no mandate from HEAVEN to countenence the EVILDOERS.I AM their ENEMY UNTIL DEATH!GOOD THING I don't fish tournaments.

Honestly I dont think you have that problem on kerr. I could be wrong But i think it just boils down to good honest fishing. If i needed to cheat to win then that wouldnt accomplish anything. Where is the joy knowing that you won because you cheated not because of skill. There's no fun in that.

Reminds me of story of a guy I fished with from Raleigh, he bought himself a big fancy boat, after he about sank his first, and started fishing tournies because and I'll quote him "i just want to take their d**n money" Seems he became quite obsessed with winning that tourny uplake, so much, that he started blaming others that won alot of cheating. He figured since he could not win they must be cheating. I reckon this story is probably from him, or from someone who knows a lot about him and is just posting under his real first name and initial for last name, with the purpose of warning the people he thinks are cheating to stop. I'd bet he would get so sick of losing, he might go to the James and bring in a big blue and hide it at his home on the lake. Well maybe not, since he never did it with me in the boat, but I can't say I'd but something like that past him.

Now i am sure I'll get lots of nasty replies from the nine or ten names and IP's he uses on here. Did you know he posts from his sister's address in New York and his mummie and daddie's in Flordia. I know this because they and he told me he did it.

I figured they were a lot of moronic posts going around, so I might as well make a dumb post about a moron I once knew.

We'll it looks like you're the moron.Cause if you're referring to me you are wrong on all counts and don't have a clue about me.And if you're not a chicken **** and afraid to post your real name and quit hiding behind a lame handle I'd be happy to discuss this with you.I can assure you I dont have another handle or go by any other name on this board.

Laughing....of all those high priced boats on the water,you know those dudes will do anything to win a tourney to make that boat payment.You have to be ignorant to the fact if you think it only happens on all other lakes except Buggs/Kerr.If a man or woman for that matter goes out on a practice run a day or two before tourney day and latches on to the big boy,he/she is very tempting to keep the fish because the odds of latching on that possible tourney winning fish again on tourney day are slim to none.I'd almost betcha cheating has been done on Buggs/Kerr in the past and will be done so in the future.I'm talking about all tourney's.Some are easier to cheat than others,very easy to cheat when fishing after dark.

what not is wrong about buggs being an honest tournament lake...you must have not heard about the two anglers recently caught at claytor lake pulling fish up that were tied to a rope with a grapple...these two guys fished some of the anglers choice tournament trail with us and have recieved many many checks...coincedence? na....they were also filmed in the act by the tournament director of the team tournament trail of west virginia Names....tony keen and ricky hartis pics of them holding checks are on teamtournamenttrail.com
