In the world of competitive fishing, an angler and his partner were recently accused of illegally putting weights in their fish once they caught them on Friday during the Lake Erie Walleye Trail Championship event.
The Herald out of Sharon, Pa., reported that the angler, Chase Cominsky from Pennsylvania, and his partner, Jake Runyon from Ohio, are the two involved in the cheating scandal. The duo won the tournament until an official discovered the weights while cutting open the fish.
By adding the weights to the fish, Cominsky and Runyon’s total poundage increased and put them on top of the leaderboard.
