recent New York Times quotes

“Cheating in competitive fishing is more common than many people think, Mr. Robertson said. He listed the myriad ways people do so: They have friends deliver pre-caught fish to them; they fish in prohibited areas; they put fish in cages before the competition; they stuff them with ice, adding heft during the weigh-in that melts and leaves no evidence.”

 

“You have to consider that in some of these tournaments, ounces can mean tens, or hundreds, of thousands of dollars,” he said.

Mr. Robertson said placing weights into fish was a primitive and “sloppy” way to cheat, as seen with the suspicions of Mr. Fischer.”

Mike Long

”

Somehow, news that the legendary Mike Long had snagged or faked most of his claims to fame never got out of Southern California. He continued to sponsor products, appear in magazines and generate large followings on social media, where he could delete any negative comments or allegations.

“There was so much rumor, but he was so big,” Ellis said. “I think his reputation was bigger than all of us. Like, we would say stuff and then he would say, ‘oh, you’re just jealous haters.’”
