Taking a slightly different angle on this - I wonder how their wives and kids are taking this. Feel for the kids being ribbed about their dads being cheaters. Kids can be brutal to other kids. Kids might not be theirs......cheaters attract cheaters n all LOL

That's why Trump and Sessions instituted genetic testing. Biden ended that, endearing himself to those pukes along with Gayghost and Northmam.

Anybody would have to be really stupid to add a bunch of weight to a fish. I couldn't, but have a bunch of buds that can judge the weight of certain local fish within a few ounces just with a quick look.
I'm sure the local Walleye guys could immediately know something was off. Fished a few SKA "southern kingfish association" tournaments With a buddy who is a DR, he'd hook up an IV bag with saline solution to the fish. LOL None of those kings were ever close enough to being big enough to win.

They look exactly like a couple douche bags so I’m not surprised My first thought also. Look up Douche bag in the dictionary and you'll see their picture.

It was the same shenanigans for the Soap Box Downhill race. The kids were supposed to build their car but it ended up being a contest for professional mechanics. The Dyess AFB troupe race car had an aluminum frame. Many of the care were professionally painted. They were works of art. It wasn’t for the kids. It was for the parents. Reminds me of my short stint in Cub Scouts in the late 70's. My Dad and I entered the Pinewood Derby for the first time. Cars were supposed to be made bybthe scouts, with help from their parents. We naively entered boxy, untuned and unweighted cars painted with leftover house paint. The competition was all made by fathers in their shops or the shops at their work. Pretty impressive looking and fast cars that my self made chunk of wood didn't stand a chance against. It left me pretty jaded about sportsmanship as a 9 year old.

I’ve caught one particular dude cheating at youth 4-H shooting competition. He enters an illegal gun in hopes of slipping it through. He got caught last year and had a legal gun at the ready. His kid is a good shooter and doesn’t need to cheat to compete well. As stated above, it is all about the parent.

The biggest worry on actual tourney days is being anywhere near the starting or ending boat drag-race. A few years ago, the big bass tournaments changed the HP rules for boat motors. Before, they had a limit on HP. As I read it, on the big lakes, a bigger motor could get a fisherman to the far end of the lake 10 min faster. That's 10 min out and 10 min back so that's 20 min for the day. During a 3 day tournament, 20 min a day is an hour more fishing time when you could catch the big one. That's also going to put a lot of much faster boats in that drag race.

Anytime there’s money involved there’s gonna be cheaters. Was in a ‘local’ coyote hunting contest some years ago. One of my buds entered with us who was one of the best out there. The contest began at daybreak and concluded at 8 pm. Every year prior the winning team would have maybe 3 coyotes. Well, that year the winning team had 21! You can’t even have that many sets in that amount of time. They were obviously hunting the night before with multiple groups feeding the ‘winners’. We had two that year and placed fourth.
Yours in Liberty,

Ben Lurkin; Good afternoon to you sir, I hope the day down in your section of Utah is going well. Thanks for the coyote derby story, I was hoping we Canucks weren't the only ones who had folks who'd cheat to win a coyote "derby". In truth the local Ministry of Environment took a very dim view of our gun club running it, but we felt that when the fur prices dropped and everyone had stopped shooting them, we'd ended up with too many. Since the ministry said no to a straight up "contest", we came up with the idea to run it over the winter and have folks turn in the tails so we could get a population sampling for mange. Then we'd pass that data onto the MoE and it's be "legit-ish"... The first year everyone more or less stuck to the rules and I want to say the winner had 7 or 8 over the season and the runner's up were close so it seemed kosher. Then we - the club - paid out the top 3... Well, next year the top guy had something like 21 when everyone else was down in single digits. We paid out, but heard rumors and those of us running it smelled Rodentia somewhere, you know? The next year it was the same thing and we'd heard from a few people who were picking up road kills and giving them to him, so we paid out and shut the contest down - er well the population sampling down I mean. Folks are funny when it comes to competition, that's for sure. Too bad too but that's the way we humans seem to tend to be. Regardless sir, I wish you a good remainder of the weekend and all the best this hunting season. Dwayne

I’m all for cheating to win but that’s fugking criminal.
Not only regarding prize money/winnings but they’re taking money from sponsors.

I remember back in the 90s when Bob Glidden got caught cheating. He won more pro stock races than any other driver in NHRA history. His son Bill ratted him out, What Bob had done was pressurize his roll cage/chassis with NOS and had a small tube built into his hood and hood scope that would mist NOS down into the carbs, which was good for about a 1/16, 1/8 second which is a lot in that class that is usually determined by the driver's skills. Motorsports are notorious for cheating, Richard Petty was good at it.

Bob was accusing the Dodge boys of using it amongst others.

Mountain Man camps with Black Powder shooting Competitions here in Southern Commyfornia we had the same Couple win 1st and 2nd prize for years. They would pick the people that they would shoot with and pay them off. Each group kept score for each other Some of those Competitions would have $2000 to $3000 rifles and an lot of donated prizes from members of the clubs It got so bad with these 2 that no one would buy into the Competition when these 2 would show up. The prize money dwindled to almost nothing.
