“On Sunday, March 8, #TexasGameWardens in Wood County were contacted by organizers of the Lake Fork Lure Co Tournament to investigate a bass presented during weigh-in that raised concerns of possible tampering. The fish was flagged after a metal detecting wand alerted tournament staff to the potential presence of a foreign object. After confirming the alert, wardens conducted a necropsy on the fish and discovered three weights in its stomach that showed no signs of erosion.”
“Wardens also located weights of the same style and size in the angler’s boat. Curtis Lee Daniels, of Willow Park, was arrested and charged with violating fishing tournament law. Because the tournament’s total prize value exceeded $10,000, the charge is a third-degree felony,” says a Facebook post from the Texas Game Wardens on the foiled fishing fete fuckery.
Guess the “erosion” part means that the asshole had wanted to try claiming that the fish had swallowed them on its own as his cover story. Also, the Facebook post should’ve said “Daniels was by far the heaviest of the slippery, slimy son-of-a-bitches caught at the tournament” or similar.
