They angled for a $28,000 payout. After viral video, 2 fishermen were charged (indicted for those of you in Rio Linda) with cheating.

Is it actually illegal to cheat at fishing? Is there some law against it?

Attempted theft by deception is a crime in every jurisdiction (fraud). The DA is correct in bringing charges and this is such a slam-dunk case that I'm sure their attorney will recommend to them that they seek a plea bargain. They got caught red-handed committing a felony and would have no chance in a trial.

Fisherman here.....You would not believe the extent of cheating that goes on in fishing. There is something about most fisherman that have to show off their catch to everyone or brag about. Me. I take a pic and put the fish gently back in the water. I know people who catch a huge bass and ride around town in their truck and show it off to people. I don’t get it.

I like to fish because I like being where the fish live.
