Is Cheating Killing Fishing Tournaments? Walleye Fishing Roundtable | Bigwater Fishing Podcast #65

1 hour 25 minutes

In this podcast, we discuss the recent cheating scandals that have rocked the world of competitive fishing, and what it means for the future of fishing tournaments. We talk pro walleye anglers Joe Okada and Brett King along with Denny Fox from the Aim Pro Walleye Series to get their insights on the problem of cheating and how to prevent it in the future.

We also discuss the impact that cheating has on the sport of fishing as a whole. When anglers cheat, it undermines the integrity of the sport and makes it difficult for honest anglers to compete fairly. It also damages the reputation of the sport and can deter new anglers from participating.

It is important to remember that the vast majority of anglers are honest and ethical. However, the recent fishing tournament cheating scandals shows that there are a small number of anglers who are willing to cheat to win. It is important to take steps to prevent cheating in the future, in order to protect the integrity of the sport and ensure that everyone has a fair chance to compete.

Capt. Ross Robertson has made his complete living chasing walleye as a full time professional angler for more than 20 years. Through the years he has worn many hats including time as a fishing guide, boat salesman, TV host, outdoor writer, product designer, tournament fisherman, speaker, radio host and podcaster to name a few.
