Winner of Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo stripped of title
How could this happen!?
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — The winner of the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo has been stripped of his title after taking a lie detector test that gave "unfavorable" results.
It is the second time in four years the rodeo's winner has been stripped of his title after taking a polygraph test. [...]
No! Say it ain't so!
At least they had actual, you know, fish.

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at July 25, 2006 08:45 AMDo they regularly polygraph fishermen? What about the fish?
I really don't understand the south.
Posted by: skinnydan at July 25, 2006 08:54 AMWell, we didn't have to worry about lying fisherman until after the Late Unpleasantness, when Yankee carpetbaggers came down here and taught us poor gullible souls how to tell untruths and such!
(In actuality, fishing tournaments like this are hard to regulate unless you have a marshall on every boat to observe the catch. There is the possibility of both honest and dishonest errors, and the polygraphy is seen as a way to attempt to keep things as free of abuse as possible.)
