Bassmaster Elite Series rookie J.T. Thompkins, who was disqualified from the St. Lawrence River event after B.A.S.S. claimed he failed a polygraph exam regarding the acquisition of waypoints and use of social media, posted a Facebook video on Saturday in which he claims he didn't violate any rules. He says the pressure of competing in the season's final tournament with the Angler of the Year and Rookie of the Year titles on the line may have produced a false positive on the exam.
