A crappie that would have been a new Kansas state record was disqualified after X-rays revealed several metal ball bearings inside the fish, accounting for approximately a quarter of its four-pound weight.

The fisherman insisted he did not put the metal in the fish and had no idea how it got there
 

Although he lost his record, since no financial gain was involved he was not criminally charged, as were two tournament fishermen in 2022.

They stood to take home a $28,000 prize in a Lake Erie walleye tournament until suspicious officials discovered their fish had been loaded with lead weights. They were charged with fraud, fined and sentenced to jail.

License reminder

With prime fishing season at hand and spring turkey season opening next month, fishermen and hunters are reminded to purchase new licenses if necessary. Holders of lifetime licenses are obviously exempt.
