IFA DQ"D Our Fish Not Happy!

[James@SeaKingBlue]

Not fishing anothe IFA tournament will do nothing unless you get all the teams to not fish them along with you but that won't happen. I am fired up over this, it's downright WRONG and I would like to have a word with that POS. Please sue that man asap. In fact give me his number and I will call him and give him a piece of my mind. If I had enough weight to be in the money of a large tournament and got treated like Railbird, I probably couldn't control myself at all and I probably would have thrown a punch. Any lawyers on 2cool want to help this cause? Railbird is a stand up guy who works hard in tournaments and it's sad to see his biggest finish end in cheating. He is more man than me for not starting a real mess there yesterday.

You'd be real surprised how fast word of mouth travels, even faster on the internet. Nowadays you can't even post up a report with anything in the background because you will have 5 people viewing the thread that are signed up and 1,000,000 guests reading it to potlick your spots without ever giving a care in the world who you are or how much hard work it has taken you to find it.

Trust me, if more and more people start becoming educated about IFA screwing people out of their time and money that tournament will fall to pieces and/or be run and fished by people who know each other and they can have at it. Everyone on this forum should be warned and if I were railbird I would be bumping this thread to my hearts content.

A ton of people read these boards and almost everyone I fish with or have met through fishing is familiar with 2cool. IFA is run by people who will go to every length of the earth to make sure that the people they know have the best chance of winning and I know that from first hand experience.

How did this guy have time to judge this tournament *AND* serve as one of the judges in the Pacquiao vs Bradley fight??

You got robbed Chuck. What that guy did is a felony, he stole that money from you so one of his cronies could pocket it. I sure hope for a major fallout against the IFA. Mr. McBride, karma is a ***** and you certainly have some bad coming your way.

[railbird]

Not sure about some of these statements. I think he felt he needed to make an example of someone. I guess it was just our bad luck. I doubt any of this will change my life. Money doesn't mean that much to me. Oh well.

This may be dumb but why don't the tournaments hire off duty game wardens. They could do it as an extra job. Their opinion on the legality of a fish would seem to be the most fair and balanced.

Yea but, Railbird if everything your saying is true(and I'm sure it is). That is absolutely the most flagrant, underhanded, no good SOB move I have ever heard of. Thankyou sir for saving me and my buddies a lot of grief, we had thought about fishing them, but not now.

Well, the integrity of that tourney sounds pretty shot. I bet these guys walk around pretty bitter towards others and still cannot figure out why. Without integrity in this world you are just a piece of dog **** sitting on a pier. I remember watching the IFA on a fishing channel. It looked very unprofessional and the contestants did not look like a happy bunch. Nobody really looked happy. So whats the point of even messing with it. You come across as a pretty humble guy railbird. Not an easy thing to maintain these days but, necessary.

Mac, so you think this guy judged a championship boxing fight? I feel many sports are pretty rigged these days. That just disgusts me and honestly not a shocker. What a big ole scandal that would be.

Pardon me for butting in, but looked on their site and it looks like first prize was $30,000.00.. Is this correct ?? If so, and I was in your shoes I'd be doing a little more questioning myself...
