Wade Bourg Jr., 42, of Morgan City, and Justin Lane, 39, of Morgan City, were arrested on Aug. 23 by state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents who fielded complaints about possible bass tournament cheating in the tournament held July 24. An LDWF spokesman said the agents were advised tournament officials and contestants believed that two contestants violated boundary rules.
Bourg and Lane, who accepted plaques and a total of $5,562.50 for first place, first place bonus bucks and big bass of the tournament, eventually were disqualified by tournament director Malcolm Smith of St. Amant. The first-place prize money and big bass money were reissued at the circuit’s next tournament held Aug. 8 out of Doiron’s Landing at Stephensville.
