billy westmoreland invitational cheaters.
what prompted my post is this.. i was on here and saw a post about the recent billy westmoreland tournament results, and it got me thinking about past billy tournaments . i scoured the internet for past results and no mention about anyone cheating, so i would like to share a story with you about 2 cheaters that were caught from the 2004 invitational that seems to have been quietly dismissed, and i have been unable to find any info on it . my fishing partner and i had fished that tournament for about 10 years and looked forward to it every year ( it was the only one we fished) many times in the early years, it was a struggle to put the funds together ,and get the time off to make it all happen but we did. i'm sure just like many others that showed up for the billy . 2004 i believe was the first year we actually got there early enough to pre -fish . the day before the tournament we put in at horse creek ,and made a long run up the lake up into the obey probably 20+ miles ..and started fishing. we were back in a cove ,and during a chance lure hang up ,got close enough to the bank to notice a leather strap/shoestring tied to a tree limb, right at the waterline. we got closer, and noticed a large camo fish basket attached about 10 ft. down .we pulled it up and sure enough it had 2 short smallies in it . I called Jack Huddelston on a cell phone from that spot and let him know what was going on. we got back to the dock and marked the spot on a map for Jack, and he got the game warden involved . we fished the first day of the tournament ,and after the weigh in went in to see Jack. he informed us the game warden was waiting close to the spot, in his own unmarked boat with rain gear and binoculars ,and sure enough ..the cheaters went right to their basket, and he busted them. they also took him to another one they had hidden a couple more fish in . Jack told us .. you are not going to believe WHO it was....FISHER & FISHER ! the prominent brothers showing up in their big new ranger and winning the tournament year ,after year, after year !! two guys you would think would be above reproach. sharing their winning techniques at tournament close ! what a fricken joke these two a##holes are ! stealing all those guys entry money year after year. and these guys had money, someone said they were prominent horse doctors..... so if any of you know these clowns and see them on the lake, make sure to say hello, and let them know that you know, about their past impressive fishing feats at the great .. BILLY WESTMORELAND INVITATIONAL.
