Many of them don’t make it to the scales alive so they typically have a program where they donate the meat to local food banks and homeless shelters.

The first red flags of these two was when they would consistently opt not to donate the meat to the food bank program the tournaments setup. Obvious now why they didn't want nobody cutting into their fish.

Second red flag, was they keep catching "heavy" fish. You can hear the crowd murmuring in the background saying "no way that's a 7 pound fish" or "your was bigger, that aint that big a fish." Locals were on to those guys and knew the weights weren't matching up to the fish they were holding up.

I don't know if its true but I read somewhere they would have won this tournament with the unweighted fish they caught, (assuming they were caught legally) but they went to big, flew to close to the sun, and stuffed them full of shite. Now they are facing a bunch of trouble.
