Now for more, the director of the tournament said he immediately became suspicious after their fish weighed twice as much as they should have.
“I thought, there’s just no way,” he said. “I could also hear the crowd grumbling, like ‘no way, there’s no way.’ “
The team was set to bring home around 30 thousand dollars for their win. Which some claim they have been doing this for years and winning a lot of tournaments.
This is something I have never heard of before and now will probably never hear about again!
