What happened to first place? No winner???

[WB Staff]

Some kind of glitch ... will post as soon as it is worked out

I've heard that 1st place needed to take a poly? Any truth to this?

[Jerred A Jennings]

Angelo Querolo took 1st fishing alone with a total of 27.16 and big fish.
Some concern was expressed to the tournament director and his winnings were put on hold and he has till tomorrow to do a polygraph or forfeit his winnings.
I think if he takes the test and clears his name great.
I would like to add that Ador was very professional as tournament director and handled the matter like a true gentleman I also want to add I heard he has a possible tournament trail coming out next year or is running another on the Delta I think he might have earned some attendance this past weekend I know I will be there.

I am very interested in this as this same individual was called out @ tracy bass for the same thing but no poly was given.

He seems like a nice kid and hope he passes his poly. If not or he does not take it he should not be allowed to fish in any more tournies.

Please keep us updated.

I applaud Jerrod's comments, especially as he was competitor in that same event. If the Tracy incident were true I'm sure a poly would have been issued as they run a great show out there.

But none of us should rush to judgment and strip someone of what they love UNTIL they are given due process and a fair opportunity to clear the matter up. Just because we are fisherman and often use our "instinct" on the water doesn't mean our "gut" is fool-proof. (My weights are a testament to that LOL) Lets all wait to see how it plays out and if this individual complies with a poly to clear his name. Until then comments of him being a cheater, name calling, etc are premature and unfair. We are talking about someone's life long reputation here-after and something they obviously love. Lets hold judgment until the facts are in.

Here we go again. The old, he cheated thing. I have been fishing tournaments randomly in the delta since 1977. In the first one, a guy named Mike Cato beat Dee Thomas and that was when Dee was dominating everything. Nobody accused Mike of cheating. Have fished with Dee Thomas, won team Angler's of the Year. Fished with Gary Klein twice when he was 20 years old. He placed top two in both of those and nobody accused him of cheating. Nobody has asked the Rosetti's or the Banks boys to take a lie detector test. Give the kid the benefit of the doubt, maybe he is the next rising star. They do come along about every 10 years. Cool your jets, get back to fishing and watch out for the crazy boaters out there. The Fisherman.

[WB Staff]

The Tournament Director Ador Lopez has confirmed the following:

Angelo Queirolo was unwilling to be polygraphed.

Queirolo consulted a lawyer and was advised not to take the polygraph.

USAC and Lopez were notified he would not take the polygraph.

Due to the refusal, Queirolo will be banned from USAC.

At this time, USAC has not released the first place payout to Queirolo.

A review is underway to determine the process for the funds.

Will update.

Well congrats second place team that is now first you guys just made a little more money and won that event. Cheaters suck for everybody I don't know the story so I can't give my 2 cents. It looks like the guy has a pretty good resume and was a pretty good local angler so it's super sad to see. Like I said I have no idea what took place but the Anglers Choice did the right thing if this guy was unwilling to take a lie detector.

[Jerred A Jennings]

To set the record straight I did not post that Angelo was a cheater.
I posted facts and responded to questions, see above that's normally what I do on W.B. Is answer fishing and boating related questions.
I had gotten several phone calls because I had fished and was asked the question what's going on.
I do know Dee Thomas and Mike Cato and I have been tournament fishing on the Delta since 1990.
I fished with Rossetti from 98-2002 and I have seen him perform and pass a polygraph at a Anglers Choice Delta out of Ladds eleven years ago that Danny Paluso had done randomly and passed with no issues.
Since Angelo did not take a polygraph he is banned from Anglers Choice tournaments but there are other organizations to fish Wild West next year and ABA but I'm sure he will face a polygraph in the future if he chooses to do so many fisherman are now going to require he do so since he did not test at all does not look to be in his favor.
I hope this is all worked out soon and I wish him and his family the best.

[dropshotter1]

well said, Jerrod, well said . . .
my earlier response was more to the rumor-mongers (not you) who had pretty much tried and convicted him at weigh in. it is sad he did not take the poly, he is a stand up guy and a great stick. he still has a family, one in the fishing industry who shouldn't be subjected to hearing the rumors. he unfortunately will have a cloud over his fishing going forward. it is his cross to bear, again only he knows his reasons for not doing a poly, we don't know why and its not our burden to bear. FISH POSITIVE!

Just seen this post very concerning, seen fellow boating for kids . Something not right, think kids going to Nationals. Can't see how club would use a person who refuse clear his name. Does MLF know this information. And if club allows a person like this to boat for kids do parents know ?

[DeltaBassPimp]

@JamesP
He's currently being allowed to fish Windy Wednesday Nighters on the delta.

[JamesP]

Something not right!

[JamesP]

I and others feel if you have nothing to hide take a test . And if he doesn't want do it for him self do it for the kids he's the boater for . That now may stop the kids from going to Nationals that's not fair I'm sorry to the kids or the club. And if club knows his rap wow that's not club I want my kids in. I want know it's got people working with kids that respect rules

I hope you do realize that the incident occurred close to 10 years ago in 2015.....

If you were someone who was fishing against him back then and having your hard earned money taken by him you might care a little more. So, if Mike Long all of a sudden pops up out of no where after being in hiding for 10 years and wants to fish a tournament circuit that you're fishing, are you gonna be cool with it?

[AJLee]

Delta Bass Pimp:

You are jumping to conclusions. I did not say I did not care about the incident, and I did not say it was okay. I was merely pointing out that bringing up this incident from 10 years ago is like beating a dead horse, cuz it has been gone over many times already.

Sounds like you fish the Wednesday night events. So, are you saying you just now see this guy Angelo at the events or are you just now finding out about this history?

Less than a year after this refusal to take the poly took place, a buddy of mine wanted to fish a Wednesday night event. So, this was back around 10 years ago. When we went to sign up at the event, my buddy saw this guy and pointed him out to me as the guy who just refused to take a poly at a tournament. The guy was working with the tournament organizer to help put on the event and he also fished the event. Then later that same year, here on Western Bass it was posted that Angelo won the Wednesday night TOC, fished my himself and had heaviest weight and big fish. So, I present this to point out that the guy has not been hiding for 10 years just to show up now.

Because this guy was fishing the events, this was the one and only Wednesday night event we ever participated in.

[AJLee]

I'm also not cool with someone who has been involved in a questionable incident to come out of hiding as you put it. But it has happened in the past and probably will happen again. Back when FLW first came out to the west coast (early 2000's), I was at a one of their Delta pro/am events. At the tournament meeting, there were several guys whispering and pointing out a guy, I forgot his name so I will refer to him as BC. They all said BC was caught cheating at an event back in the mid or late 1980s. They all said he got caught caging fish at an event at Clear Lake. Upon hearing this information, I looked up the tournament results for the year and saw that BC had fished in all the FLW northern California events. So, BC had been in hiding as you put it, for over 15 years and when a new organization came out West he started to fish again. I only point this out to show it has happened and probably will happen again.

The following year this BC was no longer participating the FLW events. I heard rumor that several guys wrote letters to FLW protesting and describing the details of the history on BC.

I don't fish the Wednesday nighters. I dont fish them because he is allowed to fish them. I used to fish Tracy Bass back when he was taking everyones money. I'd be willing to bet that most of the people fishing the wednesday nighters have no idea who he is or what he did. I'm not trying to beat a dead horse and people can judge me however they want for commenting on this old thread, but they also need to be reminded of these things from time to time. We all sign the pre tounament form that agrees to taking the poly if you are asked to. If you are going to sign the paper, then go out there and take peoples money, then have to consult with a lawer when you're asked to take the poly, then ultimately decide to refuse the poly, it's bad on you. The delta is a very vast fishery and its very easy to cheat out there. This is an honest mans sport and there should be no room for dishonest people. There's just way too much money involved nowadays to leave room for any doubt.

[JamesP]

Thank you that's what I say. If you have nothing to hide then why not clear your name. My bother said that this guy was ? At Tracy Oasis and few others they won't let him fish .

[JamesP]

This guy now boater for this club . He been ? For handing off rods to kids while in tournament. I'm sorry but that's a form of cheating. The kids are to get the fish directly by themselves not the boater. Now I see that the kids going to Nationals. Sorry something not right there. What about all clubs that up set about this . Do you want your kids club fishing against a club that favors cheating.

Sorry James. No offense, but i'm having a hard time understanding your comments. Are claiming that the same guy who refused to take a polygraph test is now boating for high school tournaments and he's hooking fish then handing the rod to the high schooler and letting them reel the fish in? And now the same kids qualified for Nationals??? That's a big claim and although i'm not up on all the high school rules, I would think that is definitely against the rules. If that is true it should definitely be investigated! If he's guilty, he should be banned from all tournaments for life....period! I wonder if his Wednesday Nighter buddies will come on here and put their name on the line in defense of him. Those are strong claims James, but if you have proof, the people running the high school tournaments should know about it.

[JamesP]

I and several others feel that cheating is cheating . This high school club used a known cheater to make it to Nationals . Now we watch the tournaments and turns my stomach .

[RB Bass]

Just seen this post the high school club that's in question here. Yes the club owner has a long history of question able acts . This is a person wants recognition and has found the use of a kids clubs his ticket to sponsor ship. I and others have watch this club use kids for he can gain recognition. That's why I and other refuse work with this club .
