    Default Freeman caught cheating??

    "Supposedly" stuck the hose in the fish and filled her up on the ride in at the Mid-Atlantic....

    Bet there are some pissed off gold chain and Fountain owners around here now. Hell, he just won the Miracles tournament by something like 2 pounds....thats only a little more than a quart from the hose.

    If true, he's about to learn the story of Leon the bridge builder.

    Billy and most of the crew were sleeping on the way in. Supposedly, one of the deckhands fill the fish with water. When it was discovered at the weigh in, the fish was disqualified and Billy sent the deckhand straight back to SC. Don't know if the guy is still on the payroll. I heard the fish was potentially worth $750,000. That's the version I was told.

    His catch stats from the tournament show weighed a "Non-Qualifying" BM and dolphin. It's rumored, "most of the crew was inside catching a nap and 1 guy decided to take it upon himself to fill the fish up and the remaining crew had no idea".

    If there is a $750K fish on the deck, who the hell sleeps, much less everyone. We having a party.

    Wouldn't be believable that they were all sleeping with a 750k fish in the cockpit if they had been fishing off the Carolinas. Up there? I think those canyon runs to fish are looong if I am not mistaken. Crazy as people are these days? Would not be shocking that a mate might try to feather his nest when nobody is watching...

    I was fishing the same tournament. The run is long, 4hrs to be certain,but...I dont buy the everyone was sleeping story.

    Not a good look for SC fisherman and Freeman boats.

    4hrs isn't long enough to put a crew to sleep with a fish on the way to the scales...

    I’m not buying the sleeping story either. My question is why has the tournament or media not outed him? If it was my tournament, and what is being said is true, I would have made a public example of him to show that cheating will not be tolerated.
