Kansas DFW goes to anglers home and seize potential state record crappie

[fishinwrench]

Tungsten powder is heavier than steel bearings, and more readily available to fishermen.    

Probably wouldn't even show up via x-ray. 

 How can any weight be trusted now ? 🤔

Sure it would. It's a density thing.

I had my doubts when the story started with "A Kansas Angler".....😂

So every fish weighed, from this point going forward, has to be x-rayed ?

Good grief 😔 

 

Sounds like it's time to start scoring by length.

Surprising that they certified it prior to investigating it, seems  like investigation would be a part of the certification. The cheater should have destroyed the  evidence given that much time if he wanted the record so bad. "It fried up real good" and he would still have that record. As to "can any weight be trusted now" question, how do we know that 1964 fish wasn't just as full of lead? Any time there is a contest, there will likely be cheater.

Yeah, there's a bit of that story that isn't being told.   

Rumor has it that the guy has "lawyered up" and is still quite upset that they took the record down.    There's more to that story that isn't being publicized.

Seriously, I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Don't give anyone ideas.

Tungsten worm weights would be a lot less expensive, but maybe easier to detect.

It would show up on a metal detector as would lead, but a pound of worms or a dozen ice cubes might not.

Well, if lawyers get involved they'll stretch it out for 2 years, so don't hold your breath.
