He Stuffed A Bass With Lead. Then The Cops Showed Up.

A Texas bass angler was sitting for a polygraph when officials noticed his 9.5-pound bass had sunk to the bottom of the holding tank. Minutes later, Robby Rose pulled a 16-ounce lead weight from its throat, and one of the strangest fishing tournament cheating scandals ever was over.

In this Fish Tales documentary, we trace how Rose went from winning $667 in seven years to earning six figures on the Dallas bass circuit. We look at why he quit a trail the moment it demanded an observer in his boat, and how one sinking fish at the 2009 Bud Light Trail Big Bass Tournament on Lake Ray Hubbard ended in a felony conviction. Then there’s his excuse, which might be the wildest part of the story.
