:stare: Oh...

so the tournament is based on fish weight (i assume, based on the lead weights in the fish bellies) and they haven't been regularly checking for artificially weighted fish since day 1?

Do they not usually inspect the fish very well in the tournaments? Seems like a giant lead weight would be pretty noticeable in a fish. Although I mostly go catch and release when I go fishing so what do I know

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
I sorta feel like experienced anglers would be able to look at a fish and think "That seems a little small for it to weigh [x]"

you'd think they'd only accept live fish, which they would then gut, inspect and then weigh, because gut weight shouldn't count anyway, maybe you just caught a fish who was super hungry earlier.

the only clear solution is to weigh the fisherman, then have them eat everything they caught and then weigh them again

This isn't enough to prevent cheating. There are different bodies of water that have the same species but significantly different sizes. Cheaters have been caught in the past smuggling in live fish that were caught elsewhere and faking catching them wherever the contest is held.

even if they hadn't dropped her, they would have slammed their heads together. not sure how from a group of people that large not one of them realizes this isn't going to work out.

I went to a.. whatever you call those things, a team building camp or something for all of the band kids when I was in junior high. I was guitar/bass in jazz band so I could go too. It was actually a whole lot of fun and we really did bond. :unsmith:

Although we had a 9th grader or so who weighed like 250+ pounds or something and I think we were able to do the trust fall with him.

He's a big chud now.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Haven't heard of it but I watched COPS when it was on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy4YFDSDW4w


edit: this was my favorite show when it was on. It was SUPER dark.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUYesRQsDz8

edit:

quote:

Captain Power attempted to appeal to both children and adult audiences, with its dark, post-apocalyptic storyline showing the aftermath of nuclear war and featured allegories on topics such as Nazism.[1][6][7] Ultimately, this became the show's undoing. It was seen as too violent for children because of its toys for shooting at the television and live-action violence. Its less mature aspects, such as the title, drove away adult audiences.

edit 2: I think I posted this in the wrong thread, but I don't remember what thread it's supposed to be in so I have to leave it here.

I think with sport fishing competitions they generally attempt to keep the fish alive to return them to the body of water they were caught in, but I am not at all certain so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

He's a big chud now.

At our senior retreat we had one of those inflatable "catapults" they put in lakes where one person sits on the far end and someone else jumps off a dock onto the close end, launching the person up front.

They told one of their smaller friends that another small person would jump for her. After she was positioned they all ushered 6' 3" 250 lb me up to jump. Might've set a launch record at that camp.
