Scary part is the bump man didn’t catch it . The crowd noticed when they were taking pictures next to the stage

wow good thing the bag was clear or they would have got away with it

From what I'm hearing Blevins and Blevins, were asked not to fish and told they were not welcome. 

They showed up, were allowed to fish and won. 

Someone said AIA had a rule if you were caught cheating in any derby you were banned. They have been caught cheating. 

I guess maybe there are some legal issues. I know there were a lot of mad anglers about allowing them to fish.

It’s all crazy at this point . The six fish guys were caught by my fiancé lol . She’s never been to a tournament weigh in . And called them out and stopped the weigh in by screaming at the MC . It’s wild! AIA stated that the fisherman turned themselves in . And that the infraction was caught by the MC and a team member of AIA . Both of which are complete horse crap . They would have walked away with 10,000 if my girl wasn’t there . She has never been one to keep quite lol . Also she’s pregnant with twins boys… she’s a handful lol . And thank goodness she was there! I guess I watched enough bass masters around her for the past three years she knows the rules lol

Kudos for her insight. Don't know how many of you guys have lost count in a derby, but it is possible, as I've been close both ways with only 4 but never 6 in the well, but came close to throwing it in the heat of the moment. 

I've got a funny story of Beck and I on here somewhere with me culling fish as fast as I can and Beck slapping me in the face with fish after fish while I'm trying to sort and cull

Got me so flustered I threw back our 5th. fish and it had a bouy in its mouth. 

Threw back a bigger one cause it was blind in one eye and Bill thought it was ugly.

How did the catch/prove Blevins and Blevins were cheating?  If they still allowed them to fish after banning them that is on AIA.  One would think that their entries would drop do to it being operated like a clown show.

I’ve been close a few times when things got crazy . But never have made that mistake . It’s something that I’m constantly double checking . I’m not saying the guys knew they had six going up there . I’m just saying they had to of know when one guys holding 3 and the other has 2 for their pictures . And there’s one sitting at their feet in the bag.  As it’s being brought to attention , they roll up their bag and rush to the release boat . The tournament MC literally stopped everything as the bad is being handed to the release workers …..

The father was disqualified in another tournament. the bass pro open tournament. I believe due to information sharing with a person outside of the tournament . But know one really knows . They all keep these things tight lipped for some reason .

Hearsay is that young Blevins was in on it helping during tournament day. And that is pretty much substantiated. 

That's why he was DQed.  

AIA needs to get it together.
