Cheaters

I guess it goes to show that when money becomes involved some will stoop to anything. Not good press either now for the tourney guys. Folks will start to wonder how rare it is.
Shame on those guys, big time losers IMO.

Guys accused of cheating by caging fish for balsam lake top bass tournament!!! It has come to the attention of the tournament director of the Ontario bass fishing series Top Bass that one of it's competing teams that consists of two members Fabio Testa (Testa, Fabio) and his partner Guy Amoruso (Amoruso, Guy) had been spotted on Friday September 11, 2015 acting suspiciously in Mitchell creek (Balsam Lake). The eyewitnesses, that just so happened to be Top Bass competitors as well, apparently watched undetected while Testa, Amoruso and an unknown third party were laying down flat vegetation like they were trying to conseal something. The eyewitnesses then waited until the accused vacated the area and went to investigate. What they found was alarming!!! Two laundry baskets zip tied together containing approximately 18lbs of bass. The eyewitnesses then apparently confiscated the evidence and approached the tournament director during the tournament meeting that was taking place only minutes away. The tournament director apparently tried to then contact the accused but because apparently their truck containing their cell phones had been stolen in previous weeks. Insurance fraud? KARMA? The accused showed up to fish this morning and after a few remarks from other anglers were made they quickly left. Now in my opinion if someone accused me of something I didn't do, tooth and nail I would defend myself. I would never run with my tail between my legs like the two of these guys. The tournament commenced as usual except for the fact that an extra boat was sent back to the area where the caged fish were located only to find a SECOND CAGE WITH APPROXIMATELY 20LBS!!! Quite the scheme was planned to fraudulently win the Top Bass Classic which is worth $12000.00 to first place. To make the story even more interesting is the fact that they competed in 4 Top Bass events this season placing 1st in 3 events and 2nd in one event totalling around $20 000.00 in winnings for the year. Well I'm interested to see what Fabio Testa and Guy Amoruso have in response for these EYEWITNESSES ALLEGATIONS!
