One other thing... When you are contacted by radio stations or others, feel free to refer them to AntiPolygraph.org. We'd be happy to speak with them about polygraph issues, and perhaps to arrange for an interview. We can be contacted by voice mail at 1-206-666-4271 or by e-mail to info@antipolygraph.org.

Polygraph "testing" has an inherent bias against the truthful. You'll find the reasons for this summarized in one of AntiPolygraph.org's posters that you can download here:
The only anglers polygraph testing will deter from cheating are those who don't understand that polygraph "tests" have no scientific basis and are easily beaten through the use of countermeasures that polygraphers can't detect. For a brief explanation of how to beat the polygraph, see this poster:
As Twoblock suggested, download The Lie Behind the Lie Detector for more on polygraphy. It exposes the fraud behind polygraph "testing" in much more detail, including tips on how to pass.

I seriously doubt that you will ever be able to pass a fishing polygraph again. The subject matter will always effect your physiologocal characteristics i.e. blood pressure, heart rate, perspiration, etc., because now, having been falsely branded a liar, your anger and stress is going to raise these characteristics probably more than lieing. I have done research on this and I have found nothing that refutes this statement. If a polygrapher tells you he can distinguish between these and lieing, then call him a damn liar to his face.
The fact that he had you to alter your normal breathing pattern, appears that he was setting you up for failure at the start. This sounds extremely "fishy" on his part. There must have been a favorite fisherman in this tournament.
My advise is to download "The Lie behind the lie dector", study it very carefully then sue the bastard for character assasination. You have witnesses to your catch. There is no way that he can prove, in a court of law, that he or his machine can detect lies. Both are too flawed.
BTW, would you mind putting the polygrapher's name on this board?
