The body of Dafiny Ray Davis, who won $75,000 in prize money last year, was found Tuesday at a private lake in Grand Prairie. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Harrison in Tyler told the Longview News- that Davis had been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury at 9 a.m.
on Wednesday. The grand jury is investigating allegations that winning bass in Texas fishing tournaments were imported from Florida, stashed in lakes and then retrieved to claim prize money. In the past few years, the prize money in bass tournaments has become lavish. Now many tour. naments pay $50,000 or even $100,000.
A shotgun, which authorities said belonged to Davis, 1 was found near the 34-year-old fisher. man's body, According to the Dallas County Medical aminer's office, which has not made a ruling in the case, Davis was shot in the head. Quoting sources close to the investigation, the newspaper said Davis had been cooperating with federal authorities and had been interviewed several times. Grand Prairie police said federal marshals have inquired about Davis' death. The newspaper said authorities are on the verge of netting a three-state cheating ring and the grand jury could return indictments as early as the next month.
As many as eight individuals, some with criminal records, are targets of the investigation, the News- Journal said. The investigation has focused on Texas tournaments, but the News-Journal said authorites believe cheating schemes of this magnitude are nationwide. The Dallas Times Herald reported Friday that the probe began last year after Davis won $50,000 in a Labor Day weekend tournament in Texarkana. "They were bringing these big (Continued From Page 1) another inmate were being taken to the unit's infirmary, Guthrie said. He was taken to John Sealy Hospital in Galveston for treatment.

Officials from the Walker The bass out of Florida and keeping them in cooling tanks," one investigator told the Times Herald. "They'd put them in lakes the night before the tournament, staking them out in certain areas so they would know where they were." Two fishermen who claimed prize catches were disqualified after failing polygraph exams. Lab tests showed their fish were from Florida.
"I can't remember what they weighed but they were awful big bass that I would have like to mounted on my wall," said Larry Jones, head of the diagnostic pathology lab at Texas University. Authorities said Davis had trouble passing the test, but was awarded the prize money on a 3-2 vote by the judges. His fish was not tested; it was stuffed and exhibited at. the State Fair of Texas, the Times Herald said. Davis, lineman for Dallas Power Light claimed he was unable to pass the test because of burns he received in a transformer explosion, the News Journal said.
Davis said he had scars on 70 percent of his body and extensive nerve damage. Davis reportedly won $25,000 at a bass tournament in Breckenridge two months before the Texarkana contest. Other fishermen became suspicious and Davis was blacklisted along with several other "questionable" fishermen, said Dave Bruton, co-sponsor of the annual Country Bass Classic in Tyler. Bruton said Davis tried to enter contests using assumed names. The News- Journal has learned as many as five federal agencies, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and the Louisiana State Police have been actively involved in the probe.
Federal authorities are reportedly looking at felony charges involving mail fraud, wire fraud and alleged violations of the Lacy Act, a 1900 law which gives federal agencies the authority to intervene when wildlife is illegally taken in one state and then transported across state lines. County sheriff's office were investigating the attack, the 268th knifing so far this year in the Texas prison system, the nation's second largest. Twelve inmates have died in stabbing incidents so far this year. TDC officials had no mediate plans to conduct a search for weapons at the max. imum security facility, located 13 miles north of Huntsville.
