Sounds like his co-angler was running the motor while he was up on the front deck sighting out a spot in practice fishing. Rules are that the angler must be the one driving, as this is giving him an advantage oversomeone that does not have a co-angler in the boat with them.

Sounds a bit picky to me, but I guess the rules are in place for a reason.

Here's the full story.....

he is still all Class in my opinion.. he states "I have no one to blame but myself" .. even though he had boat problems.. very class guy!!!! Also note that he didn't try to bend any rules or push rules, he just didn't read them clearly! As far as I know he didn't even fight the disqual.

100% class act! He is a great representation of what a Sportsman is all about.

In this is a lesson that all of us can learn: read the rules and know all specific regulations for the state, providence, and lake that you are angling on. Also, make sure you are in compliance with all border regulations. It can save a trip and save a lot of $$$.

For those of you that fish tourneys, same applies, avoid a mistake like this and know the rules.

OK, I'll step away from the podium now and stop my lecture! grin.gif

Why is he such a class act? He was caught CHEATING, whats more damaging to the sport, a stuck up snob that follows rules or someone caught cheating? I like KVD dont get me wrong but he did something that he is not supposed to do period. friendly

Damaging to the sport...how can that be damaging....he admitted that he didn't know of this rule..but when he was questioned about it he owned up to it, that is what i respect!!!....When dealing with the payouts that these guys fish for and still these anglers turn themselves in for rules infractions, or own up to any rules that they violated, now that takes a lot of character to do. I think that it shows a deep respect by these anglers to the the integrety of the sport and organization that they are a part of. This is their livelihood, if they get caught cheating they are done!

just my 2 cents

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
