Theif: Capt Lyn Waddell
 

My fishing partner and I fished Gulf Coast Trout Series that was ran by Lynn Waddell on April 5-6 out of Hitchcock, TX. We ended up winning and Capt Waddell has still not paid us the $3500 that we won. I just want to give everyone I can a heads up, so that they too will not be robbed like we were.

Awesone first post!

I don't blame u for being pissed. Thanks for the heads up

I would have a lawyer contact the POS, I would not have a problem giving the lawyer 50 percent just to call that guy out.

We have an attorney involved at this time. There have been problems in the past with him, but we were unaware of them until after this tournament. If I had been forewarned I wouldn't be in this situation. We EARNED that money that he stole from us.

Damn right you earned it, he needs to pay up.

So Lynn collected money from anglers as an entry fee for a tournament, then didnt pay out to the winners? Thats messed up.

From what I understand, he paid every place with the exception of the winners.

Yes, he collected money as did American Rodsmiths, 2nd-4th places were paid....here are instructions from the webpage, http://www.specktourney.com/ja/regis...ns_trout.shtml

How much was the entry fee? He paid 2-4th and not 1st?

$300, and we had to.pay another $250 since we had only fished one previous tournament. And yes, he paid all places except 1st. American Rodsmiths writes all the checks and their accountant said she only cut checks for 2-4th.

Damn, yall had to pay extra because of no previous tournament then win 1st...then get robbed. I don't know any details besides what is posted here but I would be fired up.

PM Iron Man on here. He knows Chuck Norris, I'm sure he could help you get your money back.

I would be on his front step about now

Man. As hard as it is to win a tourney too. Man that blows.

x2

Do you know where he lives??? Go to his house and drag him out the front door

Man with a girl name...... Just sayin

Who Rene'

Did you call the Galveston county d.a. and try an press charges?

Lynn

LMAO!!!!

As much as we would like to drag him out of his house, a person that is sorry enough to steal from you wouldn't mind sueing you for hitting him.

We will take the high road and hopefully get our money in the end.

Did the accountant give any reason why she only cut checks for 2nd-4th?

Also its odd for a tournament to not have the checks at the weigh in.

I fished a lot of redfish tourneys years ago. Never had one where we weren't paid at weigh-in except when it was a little POS Ranger Banshee that came 6 weeks later through a wholly disagreeable local New Olreans Ranger dealer, un-rigged and replete with hassles up to my eyeballs. I almost wished we came in second after that.

Blow Up, I can state for a fact that if you fish and win the CCA Lake Charles Trout Shootout we will drop a $5,000 check in your slimy hands infront of hundreds of thousands of spectators. No $hit, we pay same day so bring your mad trout skillz to Louisiana this Saturday. Sign up online @ ccalouisiana.com

You going to take him to a NASCAR race to give him the check???

Capt. Lynn Waddell
 

you need to post this on "2 cool fishing" they have thousands of followers. If he just didn't pay you make sure everyone knows it.

Amen to that....I would sue his A&& first.....

Post his phone number we can swap shop him and Craig's list him.


Ex......

Call swap shop and tell them that you are on a deer lease that is over run with hogs. Mall you want is someone to come kill them.


Craig's list post.
I have always been interested on some man on man action and will be in Houston this weekend and would like someone to experiment with.

Have a brand new
50cc dirt bike that my son wrecked and broke his arm on. Wife said it has to go today. $300. Just come get it so I don't have to listen to her ***** any more.

The crawfish docks are screwing us. I'm catching 40 sacks a day and all they will buy is 10 sacks. All I want to do is get some of my cost back. I will sell them for 15 a sack. First come first serve.


I think you get the idea. He will wish he paid you your money.

I haven't seen it taken to an art form such at yours Latravcha

Put it on las as a Haynie for sale!

Boy screwed him out of money make his life hell.

Classic

She said lynn claimed he would pay us separately....makes no sense..

If I didn't have to work this weekend I would love to come fish it.

I started two threads over there, both were deleted. But I did get about 17,000+ views between the two.

I like that....his number is all over the tourney's website. Specktourney.com

Have you been able to actually talk to Lyn? Tried to call?

I would contact the popo and file charges of fraud against the guy.

No sir. That is a classic. Ask the all knowing on the site. Lmao.

That's what I was referring to. LOL!!

If 2Cool won't have it, put it on texasfishingforum.com
They have a big following on there also.

Sux that POS didn't pay up!!!

Spend 20 bucks and put a ad in a free paper.

Once Linscum leaves his phone unattended long enough and I can get "W"s phone number from it, I'm running a ad in the thrifty nickel for free pit bull puppies with his number. Or ASR's if someone by random chance had it.

I've got them both. How much you willing to pay?

Figured that it would be settled by now. I hope y'all get the money you earned.

Pay? Hell I got up this morning with both numbers in my inbox.

Terrible situation I hope you get paid. Like cca, our salty Cajun tournament which is in August will pay out that same day.

2 cool is heavily moderated, they seem to delete any thread that may get into the grey area. They have an amazing number of members that still post even with the heavy moderation.

I'll drink to that:D

Is it the drinking that gets you moderated?!:rolleyes::rotfl:
