A simple, honest mistake costs Barron Adams $100k. He was disqualified for fishing the tournament on Wright Patman Lake without a legal fishing license. During the post tournament polygraph, Barron was asked if he had a valid fishing license, which he replied, "yes.” He passed the polygraph. However, when asked to physically provide a copy or proof of his official license, he realized that after entering all of his information online (before fishing) he never fully completed the process. Therefore, he never received confirmation from the site and fished the entirety of the tournament without possession of the required license. Therefore, making Ryan Satterfield the NPFL official champion of Wright Patman Lake.
