Mike Hart Fishing History

This is by all means not an all-inclusive list, but was what I was able to track through the internet and past issues of fishing publications. There are other tournaments including the Top Stick Tour and other events that I did not have access to so the numbers you see are actually higher.

Absolutely no assumptions, conclusions, or accusations are being made with respect to any team partners as they are not considered in any way parties to the transgressions that Mike Hart has been accused of.

Wow! I can say I donated to that! Mark me down for about $1000

a ton of research to find out for sure how much he has won over the years, as far as I know, he was also the only three time winner of the old Bassing for abused kids charity event. Ron C. might be able to chime in on this...

Great work Bill. Seems the last 2+ years thing seen to really pick up!!!! That does NOT look good for Vizanko. I dont know the guy or fished against him, but I sure dont want to!

I'd also like to know if theres any way to find out how often he brought dead bass to the scales. Is there any way to find that out??

BACKTRACE IT!

You forgot the Topstick Tour. Won or placed in many events and won a boat at the championship

Yeah, it'd be a pretty telling sign if he brought numerous DEAD bass to the scale during the duration of a tournament, and he was one of the only ones to do so, or had many more than average. That'd be pretty damning circumstantial evidence. There's no way that this was this a$$holes first roh-deyyy-oh.

I think I am going to be sick..............

I also think he's won 37k with ABA.

I don't agree with anything you say just because I'm a azzhole, but there is allways a 1st

+1

ps. I don't know mike and have never meet him its just the way he posts on here that rubs me the wrong way, so thats the only reason i get on him/you

Looks like as of the end of 2008 Nov & Dec then 2009, 2010 they won big money in all the circuits fished.

You know this is not the first time he has cheated but it is the first time he was caught!

How can someone live with themselves knowing they cheated and stole money from friends?

Looks like and ego trip, the more he won the more people bestowed the next KVD on him, (not) and never would have been , but now we'll never know will we. but look at some of the post there still people that think that it was a one time thing some even had him winning the US Open . After seeing the intricate way the sinkers were designed no way was this was his first time. Unfortunately this isn't the first and it wont be the last , as there is always someone thinking that he can beat the system, our prisons are full of them. There was a tethered fish about 9 to 10 lbs at Folsom lake earlier this year, tied to the bottom of one of the marker buoys, but unfortunately the buoy tender let it go instead of reporting it to the fish and game. this was just before the FPT tournament, so you see it happening everywhere not just the big tournaments.

I was thinking the same thing. Those results are alarming.

has he been arrested yet?

Mike Hart and Bill S.
Won a Dodge truck the first day. Kyle and I were 2nd that day and first the 2nd day and won a Skeeter. You can add 16K to the list of his winnings. Spring of 2004. KFROG event-143 boats

Are you saying he cheated Rick?

Look for a dirt bag ,someone posted his pic a befor and after in stripes.

Nope. Just some missed winnings for the pile. Not really sure what to think about this whole mess, but I know it sure stinks for our sport.

*NM*

Any one standing up for this guy is a fool. I think it should be assumed he cheated in EVERY one of the tournaments he's placed well in. Whats to make anyone think otherwise??? Hopefully he ends up with a big black guy named bubba as his cell mate. lol

WOW!!!! Thats damn near a 1/4 mil....

What makes me think he didnt cheat in all of them. Nov 2004 I saw him and Bill S catch about 15lbs on Castaic. Couldnt get on the spot because they were there. If memory is correct they weighed 14.68 and won. I was less than 50 yards away and saw at least 4 fish around 3 go in the boat, and another that I didnt get a good look at because I was fighting a fish.
Smitty

yes, that maybe true Smitty but who says he didn't add a pound or two.

Lets see, 6 ounce weights X 5 = 30 ounces thats 1 lb 14 oz. All looking like 3 lbrs should fit that weight perfectly 3lbr could look like a 3.6 easily. Man the more dirt that gets uncovered here the worse its looking. I am amazed at the numbers and frankly almost sick to my stomache. This is really bad. I hope he gets prosecuted to make others think a little more before they think to cheat

Don O

I'm just going to forward that list of winnings to the IRS. Send his azs to prison one way or another. Not that I like the IRS, but there a tool. I'm sure he cheated more than way.

me like

This guy is a dirty cheating THEIF!

Nobody is that good! Not even KVD.
