Do not hold me to this but I think it works like this.
There is $25,000.00 for the 1 true " Diamond Jim " tag. No one knows the tag number until few days before event in Sept.
If that one tag is not caught - then the $25,000.00 gets divided equally among the anglers who caught Diamond Jim impostors. I think last year about 12 were turned in but only seven or so passed lie detector. Each angler got around $ 3,500.00.
So right now - the angler stands to collect $25,000.00 if no other tagged Rock are caught before Labor day.
That is reason for lie detector test.
Used to be the impostors were worth $500.00.
Congrats on getting one.
