In this video, we discuss yet another case of cheaters caught kayak bass fishing, exploring the clever tactics they’ve employed. This time it was a kayak angler on Lake Fork who tried to use high tech software to cheat his way into the winners circle.

Wow… Kinda makes you wonder if he’s the only one doing this! What I’m trying to say is.. Who showed Ernesto Mendosa how? With those kind of editing skills what the hell is he doing fishing? He’s guilty as hell!🇺🇸🎣🇺🇸
Un-natural lighting
This kind of tech has been around for years — it’s nothing new. I’ve been a professional photo editor, and like any tool or sport, it all comes down to integrity. Technology doesn’t make people cheat — people make that choice. Ethics and self-control are what separate the real pros from the rest. Most kayak and other anglers I know are in it for the right reasons — the challenge, the skill, and the camaraderie that make the sport what it is.
Damn this guy fishes in my area and lakes. He won a couple big bass in Thursday nighters and mini boat tournaments
Yikes that’s a wild scenario not surprised with anything anymore it’s just terrible. I’m sure even though the account was wiped probably Mr Dwayne could bring them photos back since he owns tourney x but that’s if the police want more possibilities
I say money and ego cheaters gonna cheat
What is up with these scumbags? If you want to cheat, why do you even enter? That defeats the whole point of becoming the best. Why do you compete when you want to be a dickhead? I know shady fishermen, but cheating and poaching is like you shouldn't even bother to fish.
Jealousy makes people do wild things That's why I post everything from a 4" crappie to a 12" Smallie
Sad to see another cheater. But glad he was caught. Unfortunately when humans & money r involved this happens & always will. Doesn't matter if a dollar or thousand dollars. I don't understand it myself. Ur reputation & respect all gone. He shouldn't be allowed to ever fish another tournament & hopefully charges will happen.
What a dumbass. Making all Mexicans look bad. We not all like him.
So sad man. Nothing is worth doing that
What a turd
Forgot about board benders
He fished 2 MBT tournaments in central TX and won big bass and a 1st place. Money was won, this is dirty.
No chance he was the only one, dig into the submissions please!
That nuts.
Major trauma needs to be addressed, I hope he does seek help. This is not normal. Unbelievable and sad asf.
It looks photoshopped. That's my first opinion with pausing it. Let's see. The hand is obviously not really touching the fish.
Paused video at 1:08…. Totally obvious photoshop, or really terrible AI image.
The hand and fish have no shadows. Wow.
The only way to stop cheaters is to have tournament apps take photos. Should be live submissions using only the tournament app.
Video should be used as confirmation when they come back as well.
Wow that’s unbelievable
Ernesto needs his ass kicked….
Of course he wiped his TourneyX account
Are we actually trying to use AI for a fish submission now??? LOL
Oh my lord. That’s the fish I caught in Toledo Bend for the Bassmaster Kayak Series. 😮
The audacity is crazy bro. Shout out to my boy Cris Blanco who actually landed that behemoth on Toledo Bend.
Shadows are a giveaway. Some shadows fall to the left and others to the right. AI doesn’t do well with shadows.
Hand placement, fish proportions, and how the fish's top fins don't interact with the center console/pedal drive.
HE WENT TO AWARDS?! bro, you're asking for it….
What’s the point if you don’t have integrity.
Crazy!
