Weight! I Was Kidding.

Posted on 24 June 2008

A prominent angler in Port Dover, ON was recently busted for cheating on his entry in the Salmon Masters Derby. The Globe and Mail reports that,

“he (the man) artificially weighted a salmon - his specialty - as a “joke” to impress his wife, who was with him on a fishing trip. The joke fell flat when he entered the fish in the Salmon Masters Derby - a 61-day competition with a payout of $500 for the biggest catch of each day on and around Lake Ontario … ” Entire Globe and Mail Article

The man was charged with fraud under $5000 dollars. Bad move buddy!
