Two anglers were caught cheating at a fishing tournament in Ohio when an event organizer found metal weights and fish fillets (pictured above) in their fish.

A mob of outraged anglers gathered around an angler caught cheating at a fishing tournament in Ohio, and the evidence literally crumbled in front of everyone, the video shows.
Rybalov is one of the two men who were detained Lake Erie Walleye Trail Tournament September 30. They would have walked away as champions if the organizer of the event, Jason Fisher, had not decided to take a closer look at their catch.

The crowd hurls abuse and threats as Fisher pulls out metal weights and fish fillets from the duo’s fish, extra weight to trick the scales. The alleged scammers are saying nothing.
Some shouted that the police should intervene. Others wondered how many times Runyan and Kominsky had done this and how many major tournament prizes they had won as a result.
Two anglers took first place in the 2021 Lake Erie Fall Battle and would walk away with more than $100,000 in winnings until they were disqualified because one of the men failed a polygraph test, the Toledo Blade reported.
It is clear that some fishermen have had their suspicions for a long time.
“Disgusting guys and gals, I’m sorry it took so long to let you down and I’m glad I spotted the scam at YOUR LEWT at the same time,” Fisher said in a Facebook post congratulating the new winners.
“I hope you know by now that when I say ‘you created this LEWT and I will protect its integrity at all costs’, I mean it. You all deserve the best,” Fisher said.
