Not a Good Day for Cheaters

A pair of fishermen were stripped of their $5,000 tournament win after judges in Ohio discovered that they had put lead weights inside their catch also faced the wrath of a furious crowd on Friday, according to a video of the scene.

The duo’s catch weighed in at 33 pounds, nearly double what their nearest competitor had caught, according to the Daily Mail.

How could pro's possibly be this stupid in a wee treasure hunt like that, especially after winning mega trophies?

Cominsky and Runyon won the Blaster Walleye Fall Brawl and the Walleye Slam to earn the Lake Erie Walleye Trail Championship in December of last year, and the prize money came in at a whopping $306,000, SportsTiger reported.

How could such long-standing pro's decide to try something THAT stupid in a wee tournament, considering they'd won such biggies?
Now, ALL of their wins are under the microscope.

Fools. It's almost as if they were daring the PTB to catch them 'in the act', so to speak.

There's no accounting for fools and I'm pleased they got caught Lol.

They would never have gotten away with it, That is pretty amateur hour thing to do, and any fisho worth his salt would have been able to tell the fish was to small for its weight

They must have been pissed or on drugs,

Dang idjits. Had all those trophies they got away with, then decide to pull off a two-bit stunt like that one? Goofy losers.

A real pro would have used rocks. The can't be detected by a magnet and they can't prove that the fish didn't ingest the rocks on it's own.
