A brand-new tournament series promises massive payouts, Bitcoin prizes, and a shot at the big leagues. Big names sign on. Anglers pay entry fees. The events begin. Then the checks bounce… and the organizer disappears.

In this episode of Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang, Pete, and Dean break down the shocking Dual Threat Fishing scandal that rocked the bass world. How did experienced anglers get pulled in? What red flags were missed? And could this happen again?

The guys also share a personal story from the early days of Canadian tournament fishing that proves scams in this industry aren’t new. If you fish competitively, follow tournament circuits, or dream of going pro, this is a must-watch.

Plus:
• What makes anglers vulnerable to scams
• How social media legitimacy can be weaponized
• Lessons every competitor should learn
• Why this story matters beyond tournament fishing
