A massive scandal has erupted on the shores of Lake Erie, as a couple of repeat fishing champs were apparently caught stuffing their walleye with lead weights ... and it's all on video.
Trouble on the waterfront in Ohio -- a couple of fishermen have been accused of cheating to make their catches seem heavier than they were ... and the video proof is damning.-- both locals -- were apparently caught stuffing their walleye with weights and other debris ... with things coming to a head on Friday as their fish were being weighed, and then cut open to expose the truth on Lake Erie.
As you can see, tourney officials started pulling out these little metal balls from the insides of the fish that Cominsky and Runyon had up for consideration -- some are saying they're made of lead, but in any case ... they seem to have been jammed in for extra poundage. There are also slices of what some claim are fish fillets -- in other words, these guys are alleged to have cut pieces of other fish and stuffed them inside as well, clandestinely.
Some outlets are reporting that these two fellas were actually the frontrunners of this tournament -- dubbed the Lake Erie Walleye Trail in Cleveland's Gordon Park -- but that obviously came to a screeching halt when everyone caught wind of what had happened. You can hear the utter outrage from people on the ground ... they were screaming at these guys, demanding answers and even threatening to call the police. Runyon was asked on camera if he had anything to say for himself -- but he stayed silent and just looked on.
Got to love CHEATERS!!!!! BUSTED!!!!!
Wow unreal. Obviously that was a significant amount of weight so good thing they looked into it. What a shame
Why is it so easy to weigh fish? Because they have their own scales!
What does that do?
tmz no tips from amberheard today?
Don't forget fillets from other fish as well
I knew there was something fishy going on
Obviously not a catch and release contest like largemouth bass contests are.
GNP versus GDP, sort of thing. Been going on, Administration to Administration, for quite some time.
Anything for a dollar… And or the notoriety
Cheaters never PROSPER!!!!
This is worse than the 1919 White Sox.
Waste of my time
They must be related to Biden
Last year at ONE competition they won 306,000 dollars. They've also won boats, trucks and sponsorships through the cheating.
Seriously‼️ if you gone cheat don’t get caught on camera doing it‼️
The whole incident looked staged 🤔 The faux angry crowd; the 'discovery' of weights... We see a guy seemingly 'find' the weights, but we don't see him gut the fish to discover the weights🤔🤦🏻♂️😂🤣🤣 Slow freakin' newsday or is someone trolling! Get it 😉 Trolling... 🚤🎣
Don't tounaments check for that before weigh in, I smell something fishy goin around mb an inside job 🤔
If they didn't want to get caught, then they shouldn't cheat❣️
Let me guess. Republicans….
It’s so many other things to talk about? you know important stuff ❤️🙏🏽💯
Come on dam!!!Do y’all have to cheat at erthing? The pettiest since Trump.👀💯
Imagine if he was black...FINISH HIM/FATALITY

Really guys? This is the best stuff you can come up with?
Oh, such a vicious “scandal” 😂. Are y’all lost in the world of news right now? You’re literally reporting on fishermen adding weight to fish? It’s like reporting that people put rocks in cans when scrapped, but cans have to now be crushed. This is actually news? 🙄
Thanks Biden. This country out of control
Wooooooow
Man.. I never been caught surfing my walleye. But that's the game I'd walleye.. respect
McClain_on_NFL Is nothing sacred these days?

I’d say fishing isn’t a sport, but I’m pretty sure these fvckers compete for mucho dinero.
These country boys don’t play about their outdoor activities..

Really now
They must be related to Trump
This reminds me of the cheating that has happened in Real Estate over the last 100 years
Sounds fishy
Good job Billyhottakes
How do they not check for that already? That’s the oldest trick in the book. My grandfather used to check for that crap in the 1970’s when we would go bluefish fishing out of Brooklyn.
Civil matter, won't be able to prove they cheated in past competitions either.
That's some bullfish
Surprised nobody has beat the shit out of these dudes already. Where’s that video?
Idiots
I always knew there was something fishy going on…
Makes you wonder how long this has been going on..... do they put the fish through a metal detector? They dont even give that security to schools.
Lol 😂 massive lol 😂 in the fishing world? Lol 😂
Cheating at fishing 🎣….new low!
