My friends son-in-law would take homegrown bigmouth bass and go out the night before the match and string the fish to a log or something and during the tournament he would swing by and fish the area awhile then he would snag the line and it would look like he just caught a trophy fish. He won 3 tournaments back to back and the finally had a judge follow him around all day and he would lose. He finally gave up fishing tournaments after getting the shït stomped out of him by some pissed off rednecks.
