Something Fishy At U.S. Open Bass Tournament


Mike Hart is (or was) a successful professional fisherman with winnings in the range of $200,000. Things went sour for Hart, recently, at the U.S. Open Bass Tournament at Lake Mead. As I understand it, the guys catch a limit of five bass. The one with the heaviest catch wins. First prize was $40,000 cash and a brand new bass boat. Well, as tournament people were gutting Hart's fish, they found nine 2 ounce sinkers stuffed inside the bass.

Hart was disqualified and banned for life from all future tournaments. No criminal charges were brought.

Cheating at fishing! I predict an IRS audit for Mr. Hart!
