New Hampshire Fishing Derby Will Make Winners Take Lie Detector Test

The Winni Derby will be held this weekend on New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee, as if you didn't know, and there's $50,000 in prizes for biggest salmon, biggest trout and, what, most congenial bluegill I guess. But because this is a landlocked lake, and they don't want any of the contestants sneaking off to secret fishing holes to bring in illegal catches, the organizers are bringing out the big guns to make sure things are fair.

"Due to the rumors and information on some of the fishing blogs, there has been a raised awareness that the possibility of some of the past entries for landlocked salmon entered were not fished from Lake Winnipesaukee," a statement on the the Winni Derby's website reads.

Who would cheat at a fishing derby? Plenty of people, as it turns out. Read here. And here. And the old lead weigh trick, here.
