The world of professional Walleye Fishing was turned on it's head over the weekend, after two of the top fishermen were caught cheating.

Chase Cominsky and Jake Runyon are known as two of the greatest Walleye fish in the world right now. They were just caught cheating their way to winning hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It all went down  at the Lake Erie Walleye Trail. After weighing in, many other fishermen accused the team of stuffing their fish with weights. The officials at the tournament quickly grabbed the teams Walleye and began to cut them open.

After cutting the fish open, they were right! Chase and Jake were using egg weights, stuffing them in the fish and winning a lot of tournaments. Some of the fish even had Walleye filets in them to help juice up the weight.

The other fishermen exploded as soon as they cut into the fish, many wanted to police called.

“You fucked over a lot of people, man,” one attendant can be heard saying in a video posted to social media, as others cried, “Check every fish!” “They’ve been doing this shit for years,” shouted another.

Here is the video.

Now for more, the director of the tournament said he immediately became suspicious after their fish weighed twice as much as they should have.

“I thought, there’s just no way,” he said. “I could also hear the crowd grumbling, like ‘no way, there’s no way.’ “

The team was set to bring home around 30 thousand dollars for their win. Which some claim they have been doing this for years and winning a lot of tournaments.

This is something I have never heard of before and now will probably never hear about again!

UPDATE:

We spoke with the reporter who was there to see it all go down!

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
