In general, a standard ice cube tray uses 1 fluid ounce of water per ice cube. This is equal to about 2 tablespoons of water.

2 or 3 that were visible, but admittedly 2 of them looked bigger than the average "bearing".   Possibly some slingshot ammo.   Still, a steel ball isn't very heavy.  How many ice cubes do you think could be shoved down the throat of a 3-4lb. fish ?

 

Check THIS out ....

 

I was a little curious too. They're saying a 4 ounce difference between the first and second weigh ins. 

A 1/2" steel ball bearing would weigh about three tenths of an ounce. 3/4" would be about an ounce if my math is right.

Sure seems like a stretch for just those two ball bearings to amount to 4 ounces.

4 ounces.

more than 4oz, using the weights- in https://www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/disqualified-kansas-record-crappie-stuffed-with-ball-bearings/  -3.73lb = 59.68 oz. and 4.07lb = 65.12oz - that's a difference of 5.44 oz. so how big were those two ball bearings? in the picture one looks much bigger than the other, which is another wonder, I'd think they would all be from the same bearing race.

Then to start with there doesn't seem to be any evidence that the "tip" about the 3.73# fish is actually the same fish  as the 4.07# fish, days  weeks had past when the bait dealer read about the new record and he assumed it was the same fish. ?

So I have another question about bait shop guys; do they keep a written record of everything that gets weighed? or do they just write up the things that require receipts or certifications? I think if it had been me and we determined that on my scale the fish only weighed 2lb and the record was 3lb that I would have just wiped the mess up and went back to counting worms and crickets; but apparently this guy recalls three week/month later all the details that unreported fish? It's no wonder that a prosecutor said 'not enough evidence'.

“As fisheries biologists, we get the chance to see a lot of big fish but this one is certainly for the books,” Reinke said of Parkhurst’s record-breaking crappie at the time. “This crappie measured in at 18 inches long and 14 inches in girth, so it truly deserves a spot on the state record list.”

 

"although KDWP did not provide the name of the second location where the fish was weighed.

Why not ? 

 

I'll tell ya what it smells like to me....It smells like the agents couldn't dare return the fish to the guy and say "Ok, sorry, you're legit" after all they had done, and the time they had wasted....so they FIXED the situation.  After a complete Case.net.com check of the guy, of course 🙄.    

Judging someone because of an imperfect past is double jeopardy, and isn't supposed to be allowed in our judicial system.   If we're gonna do THAT then let's check with the ex-wives of all the agents and verify their upstanding citizenship as well.

I’m not saying you are right but something sure is fishy about this.  I’m always reminded of your Windyville prediction 😁

😅 What was my Windyville prediction?   I've forgotten. 🤔 

Was I right or wrong?     Must have been wrong if YOU remember it. 😅
