Ryan Miloshewski Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 This one just has sketchy written all over it. Dbag move to go back on the agreement 100%. Likely somebody who doesn't like tournamament bass fishermen, of which there are many. But if he was going to do it he should have just said "screw you, I am going to catch it as soon as you leave and eat it." Then I'd have no problem with it. Also, my guess is he was trying to force feed it and get it in the mouth for that time span. I mean how many females that big are eating while tending to laying eggs? I know of countless stories of big females being fished for, for 10-12 hours without even a sniff at anything. I could very well be wrong, but the whole thing is just sketch. Hopefully the fish is mounted or eaten.

fishinwrench Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Look at it this way.... If Bash Boy had caught it legitimately the the fish was gonna die and be turtle food. So how can you get mad at the other guy ? Not sure, honestly, how I would have handled that situation. 100k is a lot of money, the bash is an AMATEUR EVENT that I am not a fan of, and a caught fish is a CAUGHT FISH. I've done shadier things for LESS money. I'll just go right ahead and admit that in front of everyone. 😉 This is of course assuming that the fish was not snagged in the back, or the tail....but somewhere close to its mouth. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I protested he told me it was a legal catch. And since the guy with the fish was a repeat client of his, he didn’t want to cause any problems. Let the guy take big bass and first place. That guide is a POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
