Fishermen Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky plead guilty to rigging prize-winning catches in Ohio competition
Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky took guilty pleas for a felony charge of cheating and a misdemeanor charge of unlawful ownership of wild animals, according to WEWS-TV, the local ABC affiliate for Cleveland.
In Ohio, it’s a felony to cheat in a competition when the potential gain is $1,000 or more. The top prize for the Lake Erie Walleye Trail Tournament was $28,000. The two crooked fishermen were exposed by a judge at the tournament in September when their top-ranked catches were cut open, revealing several walleye filets and multiple weights between 8 to 12 ounces.
Chaos ensued as an angry crowd gathered around Runyan, 43, and Cominsky, 36, and berated them for rigging the contest. Chase Cominsky and Jake Runyon have been labeled cheats and accused of stuffing weights inside their fish at the Lake Erie Walleye Trail in Cleveland
