The Baltimore Sun reports the dispute arose after a Florida angler caught the winning 76.5-pound white marlin in the White Marlin Open in August. Organizers said Phil Heasley lied about the big catch and then flunked two lie-detector tests.
The Sun reports that organizers now want a federal judge to disqualify Heasley so they can redistribute the $2.8 million to the also-rans. Heasley hasn’t seen a dime yet and wants the judge to rule in his favor.

It's a fishing tournament!!! Nobody cares. Move on.
It's a $2.8 million dollar fishing tournament!!! A lot of people care. The tournament will cease to exist if no one trusts the outcome.
Donate the money to the Military Vets and we all win
