Polygraph tests have been used to clear up questions at major tournaments,
and even at small local “derbies” (where cheating has become common). For
records, it’s a new page. Ray Scott is one of its more vocal advocates.

“I think the tests should be mandatory for all world records,” insists the
father of modern bass fishing. “I’ve used polygraph tests for years [he’s
mainly talking about tournaments] and they’ve got me out of trouble.
Eighty-five percent of the time they proved innocence, not guilt,” Scott
says.

Unfortunately, these days potential for big bucks and prestige has lead to
increasing numbers of “record thieves” who’ve resorted to bizarre and
complex schemes. Nowhere has this been truer than in the effort to grab a
new world largemouth bass record.

Polygraphs done by a certified examiner are highly reliable and are the
reason why many record pretenders refuse them. Ray Scott relates the tale of
one fellow from California who some time back tried claiming a new bass
record. Scott, an International Game Fish Association trustee, got the guy
(with the blessing of IGFA) to reluctantly agree to the polygraph. Scott had
set up the test in California with a certified examiner but the record
seeker never showed and refused to answer phone calls. Then he then hired a
lawyer and filed suit against the IGFA claiming –among other things-- that
it had no authority to insist on the polygraph. The judge thought otherwise,
tossed the case and also fined the record seeker $200 in court costs.

So what do you think? Are lie detector tests warranted? If not, why not?

Last year I entered my first trout fishing derby with my 13 year old daughter as my partner. The derby was a 2 day affair held on a fairly small lake. When the final hour was approaching my daughter and I sat and watched 3 boats with 3 men apiece tether to each other and start putting together the "winning" stringer. What an example for my daughter to witness. We talked about the CHEATERS and agreed that we would rather lose fair and square, and go home laughing and looking forward to our next memory making adventure together.Lie Detector...nahhh they know who they are.

Hey Mike,Stoning to death? Just a little harsh for my taste, perhaps a public castration (so he won't pass on the cheater genes, the humiliation of it being public is just a bonus) and CHEATER tattooed across his forehead for all to see. Red ink would be nice. Perhaps with a black border so it will stand out better. LIAR would be a second choice, or perhaps both?The rest of your post I agree with, telling stories around the fireplace or campfire is one thing, but if you are talking contests or records the facts should be certain and no cheating allowed.Zermoid

I think due diligence should be used especially in the smaller derbys. I recently found out that a close relative of mine (being a winner of many large prizes from many derbys over the years) had been cheating by fishing the derby lakes or areas for up to a week in advance and tethering his fish to shore. The guy is piece of sh*t and I look very differently at him now..and always will. I support lie detectors and stoning to death those who are caught. LOL
