HOOK ‘EM UPA burglar in Cloppenburg, Germany, was caught because he couldn’t run from his crime. He broke into a fishing store, then lost his balance and fell onto a display of fish hooks. The unnamed thief ended up with “several fish hooks in his backside,” a police spokesman said. And there was no doubt where they came from since “price tags from the damaged store were still attached to them.” One was embedded so deeply he needed hospital treatment to get it out.

I lost my mind.” That, he says, explains why he cheated in a bass fishing tournament on Lake Ray in Hubbard, Texas. “I’ve been bullied by tournament officials for the last eight years,” he whined, saying he has passed multiple lie detector tests in the past. Such tests are common in fishing tournaments. But when he was caught red-handed, Rose pleaded guilty to putting a 1 lb. lead weight into the fish he caught before turning it in. Tournament officials got suspicious when the fish, which was still alive, sank when it was put into a holding tank. Because the prize was a $55,000 fishing boat, Rose’s attempted theft conviction is a felony. He was sentenced to 15 days in jail, probation for five years and suspension of his fishing license.
