Kentucky takes its bass fishing seriously

Counting cards or using rigged dice will certainly get you banned from a Las Vegas casino, and it might even lead to an unpleasant visit from a man named Guido, but cheating a bass fishing tournament? Well, that’s a whole other matter.
According to the Helena Independent Record, a man in Kentucky was recently sentenced to three years probation for taking part in a scheme to defraud a local fishing tournament. According to police and the local Fish & Wildlife service, Dwayne Nesmith and Brian Thomas stashed a basket of fish in Lake Barkley and were seen pulling fish from the basket and putting them in their livewell during the Relay for Life Tournament last April.
See kids, it doesn’t pay to cheat, even at fishing. No, if you really want to catch a lot of fish, we recommend using dynamite, or an RPG:
