Palaniuk Dq'd In Elite Event

[Quillback]

I was over at Grand Saturday just fun fishing and I came in to eat lunch and cool off around 2pm...saw a small club tournament doing their weigh-in in the parking lot while I was grabbing the truck to trailer the boat. After 40 minutes they drove down to the ramp to release their fish and they were all dead...they did launch a boat to pick them up but the damage was done. You can't talk in a parking lot while your fish bake in the livewells...some just people aren't very smart.

That's really bad...if a tournament can't keep it's members fish alive they should end the tournament at least during the summer. Use some common sense, sheesh.

Ya, that is a horrible deal. Grand is famous for that kind of thing, and its not good. People from years of experience know how it is down there and those guys should be banned from the lake.

That is a black eye on everyone of us, for what a few ignorant, self-centered have done. Thanks for sharing Tfish, sorry you had to see it.

Amen, Bill. Stupid turds. That lake is a fish factory but it doesn't need to be abused by igmos.

I am just glad it was only 5 boats and 1 guy only had 3. I told one of the guys as I was launching the boat that you can't sit in a 93 degree parking lot with fish in the livewells. He just said "I know man we screwed up".

Maybe they learned something from it. Since it was only five boats, the damage was minimal and sounds like at least they didn't just drive off and leave them. First off, that's a black eye on all of us and second, if you're gonna kill something, eat it.

did they ever say who protested Palaniuk?

Didn't hear who did but Elite Series rules include one that states if an angler sees another competitor violate a rule and does not report it, he is equally guilty and subject to disqualification. So it wouldn't be prudent to blow it off.

I have also read on other forums that others did the same thing. bassfan.com feedback page has some interesting comments on it. IMHO, they shouldn't just go to where stupid states are in play. The MN law is idiotic. The Missouri law on culling during summer is just as stupid.
