As stated in the comments below, does anyone think MLF is going to say their cameraman sold waypoints of an MFL angler to a Bass angler, no they would never admit that. So, I guess Mullins just pulled the story out of the blue. Someone is defiantly lying but we will never know who that is. The only one paying the price right now is JT.

I can tell you from first hand experience with an unresolved issue with BASS myself, they aren’t gonna do or say anything. Sweeping things under the rug is exactly what they do. They do not care about the anglers at all! Your are a disposable, replaceable number, especially if negative publicity towards them surrounds you. If I were JT and truly did nothing wrong and BASS has caused him to lose ROY, sponsorships and defamed his name/brand, I would hire a lawyer. Nothing else other than that or BASS publicly making it right will bring back what he has lost.

[@mikel.4885]

But bass had the one they wanted to win aoy win

[@jefferyholland]

The big problem isn't just what about J T if this turns out to be bogus? The problem is with ALL of the anglers who ever take a polygraph. Is it dependable? How often do they get false positives? It might be time to consider doing a complete investigation BEFORE penalizing or not penalizing an angler. I can understand why an organization would not want to admit they made a mistake because it opens the door for every guy that took a hit to protest. I just think they need to take a good hard look at the process.

[@devinwillis7787]

Failing the polygraph is grounds for disqualification even if you did nothing wrong by the rules

@@devinwillis7787 Yup, and that is a problem.

[@husskid]

Interesting, Steve. One problem with this is, like you said, It is near impossible for Bassmaster to come out and admit they jumped the gun. How (looking back in time) they may have handled is him failing the Polygraph, put and Asterisks next to him do and investigation including a another polygraph. Then you can ether. Disqualify him with evidence, redistribute the ponts and prize money or say what went on, and leave it at that. Remember the boat plug Fiasco with the BPT. At least they went back and cleared matters and made it right. Ok, tight lines. Regards, Steven.

You brought up some excellent points. It’s a shame what JT is going thru considering he might have done nothing wrong. I’m also curious where Mullins got his information. If a pro angler is going to protest another pro angler they should have proof and documentation to back up their information. I also believe JT has a right to a hearing with all parties involved.

[@MrFishhook]

Bass really screwed this up ! As much as I love Bass fishing , bass fishing as a sport is very Po- dunk lol…. Bass should have had documentation to prove Mullins information! Before they acted ! It’s really starting to look like it was a setup to have a reason to Give JT a LDT for the issues he failed that they didn’t have enough information on yet !

[@leanonemfishingadventures3608]

I don’t think that you should be disqualified solely based on a polygraph. Those things are not always accurate and he could’ve been nervous and maybe he questioned himself during the questioning if he might have done something wrong but wasn’t actually. I also feel like there might something more going on bc the only one who was close to beating Trey McKinney for ROY was JT and if JT wasn’t DQ’d then there was a chance that Trey wouldn’t have been crowned the youngest ROY in BASS history. Might be a far stretch there and bit of a conspiracy theory, not doubt that both are phenomenal anglers. If Trey wouldn’t have had those mess up’s earlier in the season he would’ve walked away with ROY easily and it wouldn’t have been so close.

[@GetUrFishOn]

The whole thing needs to be looked at, but I don't think anyone else will. Cheers and tight lines.

[@guyfoscone3193]

Add the fact that they are roommates on tour. So they never talk or share info? And only JT gets a polygraph? Seems like a setup to me, they definitely want to promote McKinney like he's the next KVD. Bassmaster should have waited till after the season to take any action.

[@PeterB-x1z]

I think you're doing a great job on these difftopics, hang in there. Polygraphs are not very accurate. The American Polygraph Acadeny claims 90%, but independent testing the National Science Foundation showed more like 70%, mostly sighting false positives. Generally not advisable as probable cause for a search warrant, usually not admissible in criminal cases and usually not accepted in civil trials unless both parties agree. So if the organization investigated and found no evidrnce JT had done anything wrong they are honor bound to fix it. I don't think they will though, and that's really too bad!

[@AzAngler77]

As I’ve said before, bass masters has become the clown league of the fishing industry. Their lack of transparency has potentially ruined an anglers, reputation and integrity. For some reason, I feel as though David Mullins and JT have some sort of beef with each other on a more personal level. My reasoning, is David made these claims that were proven false, which leads me to think that there are some sort of other issues ongoing. Regardless, JT has an uphill battle

[@GetUrFishOn]

He has an uphill battle. I think he can move past this, but right now, it kinda stinks for him. Thanks for the comment. Cheers and tight lines!!

[@guyfoscone3193]

I think some guys here need to remember the info loophole that all 5 of the guys used after qualifying for the Elites thru the Opens tour. BASS put the 24 schedule out before the opens tour was over. The 5 who knew they were going to move up "gathered" waypoints for all the lakes on the 24 schedule. So now you have a young guy being questioned knowing he used a gray area to get info. Some people get nervous even if they are not lying...its a common human emotion. If they busted him for watching the broadcast that is ridiculous. He had all the waypoints already-what was he going to learn? I feel they used him as a scapegoat to protect McKinney. Pro Fishing is a mess the last few years, I can live without it. It has WWE feel about it, not for me.

[@GetUrFishOn]

People don't remember that loophole but I know what your saying. Cheers and tight lines!!

[@JustFishing1489]

I was interested in professional bass fishing for about half of this year. The drama and B.S. is absolutely disgusting. Both BASS and MLF care more about their image than truth.

Did he get a poly test on his way out of the Elites to see if what he stated was true? It's either accurate or not. If JT is truly not guilty of what he is being accused of... he has to fight to protect his own dignity. If he's lying, that team should just let it ride out and see what happens.

Here's a true story from the walleye tour. About 20 years ago the pwt came to my home waters where my dad was the local champ. Not only was I told not to fish for 2 weeks. The "pros" couldn't figure it out. After the 2nd day of the 3 day tournament my dad's partner drew a map for the guy who won. Gave him the juice how as well. For nothing. Pros never came back. I expect that this same scenario happens every tournament regardless of what circuit. Its all about not ruffling any feathers and pulling the tagline of the corporation. Im sure guys are running up to Jacob wheeler at the gas station everyday to give him spots. But bass and mlf will deny it. I personally have no respect for the organizations. Or the people who lie for them. God bless Jacob Fautz for telling the truth. And if you love bass dont fish for them deep unless you plan on eating them.

[@binkwood]

Wait a minute, let's look at this logically and not emotionally. The author is obviously jumping to conclusions that have not been established (and probably never will be). Thompkins gets DQ'ed for failing a polygraph test relating to getting waypoints illegally. The way polygraphs work is by measuring your reaction to various questions that are known to be true against your reaction to questions that haven't been established as true. So in practice, if Thompkins was asked if he got illegal waypoints, even if he had received illegal waypoints for a different lake, at a different time, from someone other than this MLF cameraman in question, he may still react to this polygraph question as if he was being untruthful. So you can't conclude whether Thompkins got illegal waypoints or not, and it would appear he is feeling guilty regarding this topic. And I know; polygraphs aren't admissible in most courts because there are people that can deceive the polygraph, but it is a very small percentage of the population that can do that. So Mullens tells BASS that he was told by Hatfield (an MLF angler) that Thompkins got waypoints from an MLF cameraman that filmed him (Hatfield) at the St Lawrence. When the story comes out Hatfield denies it, so for sure either Mullens or Hatfield is lying. If the truth is truly something BASS and MLF really wanted to uncover in the interests of integrity of the sport (I know, I'm laughing too...), both Mullens and Hatfield should be investigated and polygraphed by the same polygraph examiner. From a common sense standpoint, it would seem highly unlikely that IF Hatfield's cameraman was selling Hatfield's waypoints, that Hatfield would have knowledge of it, unless he was in on it. Even if MLF's investigation discovered that this scenario did occur, It's not in their best financial interests to disclose it because it makes their organization look bad. Also, it's highly unlikely that Mullens would just make up a story about Thompkins getting waypoints, protest him, and then Thompkins happens to fail the polygraph and gets DQ'ed for something he didn't do. Usually where there's smoke there's fire. Remember folks, all of these people are involved in high stakes gambling for a living....

KZbinrs that have channels were out claiming JT did something wrong before the evidence and statements was forthcoming from person or persons involved. Just because a person fails a polygraph test doesn't mean he's guilty. Can a truthful person fail a polygraph? The test is not 100% accurate, and honest people often fail a polygraph. Unless MLF or Bassmaster have concrete evidence that JT cheated and can prove it, then either and/or both MLF and Bassmaster should be held libel for tarnishing JT brand. The question is "WHY" MLF or Bassmaster isn't saying anything about their findings on this incident. Sounds like a nothing burger to me, just let this young man fish.

didnt he openly admit to getting in from the day of tounrament fishing and watching highlights? which is against the rules no?

[@GetUrFishOn]

I don't know. If checking social media is wrong, then every angler broke the rule. Cheers and tight lines.

[@The_PanMan]

@@GetUrFishOn so youre saying all the guys on the tours watch footage of the active tournament going on ? and you know this for a fact?

[@GetUrFishOn]

@@The_PanMan I don't know anything like this for fact, but doesn't most anglers post on social media during a tournament? Cheers!!

[@The_PanMan]

@@GetUrFishOn i get what you're saying and i agree. how could they go on instagram and say there" had a tough day out there" without seeing the bass highlights etc.

[@ElitexxChicken]

BASS has went to shit. MLF has went to shit. The only league right now that is actually about just fishing is NPFL. 2020 really fcked up this sport. Both leagues need to go away for good. Done with both and you guys should be too. IMO

[@GetUrFishOn]

Thanks for the comment. Cheers and tight lines.

[@billljones979]

Can anyone say npfl.

[@GetUrFishOn]

LOL Cheers and tight lines.

I would like to talk with you about polygraph and competitive fishing and JT's disqualification. I am a former MLF polygraph examiner. You can see me "Former MLF Polygrapher Tells All (The Bilge Podcast), " KZbin Zaldaingerous 53.5K views 8 months ago

Please email me and I'll send you my phone number. ffrsteve at gmail dot com. Cheers!!

Again poly test dont work ever U could be strees from just life or took test at boat ramp after fishing all day Its so so easy Video with date time stamp On all boats Shoot i got a inclusive And had another person seen my catch And took another one from real fbi. And pass Sad

[@GetUrFishOn]

Always amazing comment!! Cheers and tight lines!!

[@billbeard7909]

Click bait. Nothing new here.

[@GetUrFishOn]

Thanks for the comment. Did someone else report the MLF stuff anywhere? Cheers!!

[@texoma_outdoors]

Of course mlf is going to deny it, they have zero integrity. When one of their anglers fails a polygraph they fire the one administering the test. As far as bass goes its not an issue anymore of he did or didn't get info illegally. He failed the poly and that's why he was suspended.

[@GetUrFishOn]

Your right. But things should change with some rules and polygraphs. Thank for the comment. Cheers and tight lines!!

[@shannonkirby9295]

Thank u, Steve. Just saying enough is enough.

[@GetUrFishOn]

I hear ya. I don't want to do anymore of this... I don't think anyone covered the MLF side. Thanks for the comment. Cheers and tight lines!!

[@richshackelford5793]

Who cares, let’s do away with tournaments then you will have no cheaters or FFS talk

[@GetUrFishOn]

Thanks for the comment. Cheers and tight lines.

[@jimmydixon2632]

He signed a contact failed He failed the poly. End of story. Grow up.

[@GetUrFishOn]

You are correct, but shouldn't things be even for all? Cheers and tight lines.

[@mikelembke5121]

Everyone forgot that JT failed the polygraph

[@GetUrFishOn]

Very true. Thanks for the comment. Cheers and tight lines!!

[@devinwillis7787]

That doesn’t mean he actually did anything wrong. I don’t fault bass for disqualifying him but without concrete proof it’s hard to call him a cheater

[@mikelembke5121]

@@devinwillis7787 don't need proof if you take a polygraph test and fail

[@robemery1754]

The only polygraph that matters is the one B.A.S.S. administered! Enough said! Why do half of these rookies have to play in the gray areas? BTW his roommate was rookie of the year as well 🤔

[@GetUrFishOn]

I do agree with you but I still want to know the truth. Cheers and tight lines.

[@rickvann3489]

Why operate in the gray area? This just shows your character isn't where it should be.

[@tonygreen4356]

Who said he was in the grey?

[@rickvann3489]

@tonygreen4356 If you're a tournament fisherman, you don't ask or let someone give you info. You cut them off from doing so. You do it on your own, and this clearly isn't happening in professional fishing anymore because of all the drama going on. The way you fix it is no practice 30 days before the tournament and then show up and fish period and gather all the info you want.

[@tonygreen4356]

@@rickvann3489 who said JT was in the grey?

[@rickvann3489]

@tonygreen4356 your brain cells dead. He flunked a poly, he was called in to the tent, why would you be called in if something wasn't up Duh!

[@GetUrFishOn]

Thanks for the comment. Cheers and tight lines.

[@davewickham6821]

The 2024 season is over, move on and get ready for 2025 season. MLF has also tried to buy BASS like they did with FLW. Suck it up and move on your not going to override the results from 2024

[@GetUrFishOn]

I somewhat agree, but disagree too. I want to know the truth and make sure things are level for all anglers in 2024, 2025, and 2020! Thanks for the comment. Cheers and tight lines.

[@B_ROB_82]

there is no appeal proces or any outside third party reviews of these cases that i know of, something these anglers need to fight instead of ffs

[@GetUrFishOn]

In this case I don't think there is or if there was, then it happened after and he lost his chance to fish. Cheers and tight lines!!

bro, you got any t shirts where the crew neck hasnt given up and committed suicide?

Nope! Look at the size of my head!! LOL. Cheers and tight lines.
