Captain Art's thought for the day - tournaments & money

Why is it that fishing tournaments & prize money bring out some of the most unethical ways of doing things imagineable? It seems that any time you add money it brings out cheating.

I believe with the advent of mobile phones & texting the problem has increased. If we can't seem to get cheating out of the event what should we do?

Good friends calm seas and great fishing, God Bless America!
