These guys are some serious dumb basses. Ahem.
Back in October of 2018, a 45-year-old guy named Robert Dennett and a 35-year-old guy named Kamron Wootton, both from Washington City, Utah, competed together in a bass fishing tournament.
The top prize was $2,500 for catching the five heaviest fish in two days. And after Robert and Kamron turned in their fish on the first day, they were in second place.
But they were soon disqualified . . . because the tournament officials noticed their bass didn’t look like ANY of the ones other people had been catching. Quote, “They had little heads and fatter bodies, indicating a different diet . . . [and] red fins, which indicated they’d undergone stress.”
And yes, it turned out Robert and Kamron had SMUGGLED in pre-caught bass from a reservoir in a different part of Utah.
There was a LONG investigation, but last week, both guys were charged with felony bribery or threat to influence a contest, plus some misdemeanor wildlife charges. The felony charge could get them each up to five years in prison.
