Competitive angling for money - there's an anathema destined to bring out the very worst in 'folk'

Seen that a couple of days ago.
As a kid i have fished and poached loads of places, i sea fish and freshwater fish, but i never course fish.
I think it comes from once being asked to take part as a kid in a comp which was fishing a pond on a little estate, a mate of mine was catching small fish and filling them with lead split shot to make them heavier.
I have never fished a pond again.

I have heard about this in the uk , maybe that’s why most comps go on size ie cm ,

 

[Wolf]

I only do comps t he at go on size,cm etc,not that I do a lot of comps

 

[Beach]

I don't do any comps, far too many cheats about.

 

[Jetty Jumper]

I believe there was some suspicion that these two idiots may have cheated in past tournaments. The memes are endless right now ?
