Online Viral Video

From March to October, the Lake Erie Walleye Trail is a seven-event series in which up to 80 two-angler teams compete for tens of thousands of dollars in prizes. Despite the numerous rules, the goal is simple: to catch the biggest fish in Lake Erie.

In online videos, Jason Fischer, the president of the LEWT Tournament, is shown cutting open one fish after another to uncover more lead weights and what appear to be additional fish filets.

The walleye in the bucket appeared to weigh roughly 4 pounds each, but the combined weight showed they had to be at least 7 pounds each. He then sliced the fish apart and discovered two 12-ounce metal balls within.

Other fishermen began shouting, “Get the f*** out of here!” at the same time, “You should be in jail!” On September 30, 2022, Fischer discussed what happened on the competition’s Facebook page. He claimed that many residents of the neighborhood were “disgusted.” and that he regretted the “cheating” not being found sooner.

How Much Money Did Cominsky and Runyan Win?

Cominsky and his teammate Runyan have previously won several championships, including a December 2021 Lake Erie Walleye Trail Championship after winning the Blaster Walleye Fall Brawl and the Walleye Slam.

Along with the title, the duo received a whopping $306,000 in prize money. Cominsky and Runyan were due to win a $28,760 prize and nearly $29,000 in an Ohio fishing event but were just disqualified.

Cominsky and Runyan disqualified

Cominsky and Runyan were disqualified from the Fall Brawl fishing event in 2021 after one of the anglers failed a polygraph test. Cominsky and Runyan’s disqualification cost them the $100,000 grand prize.

Cominsky and Runyan had been cheating on multiple occasions to win luxury fishing boats in the Fall Brawl and Walleye Slam fishing tournaments in 2021, as well as tens of thousands of dollars in walleye contests.

The two had stuffed the massive 12-ounce egg sinkers with filleted walleye flesh into their walleye. Fischer asked Runyan to leave because he was receiving threats from the crowd, and Cominsky had already locked himself in his truck in the parking lot.

What action did Jason Fitcher take against Cominsky and Runyan in the 2022 Cheating Controversy?

Cominsky and Runyan were eliminated from the competition, and new winners were selected. It is unclear how the problem will be solved, as it was last year because the team has previously won. If the organizers of previous events go to court, there might be a lot of money at stake.

Chase and Cominsky, who are accused of cheating, may be charged with a crime known as “theft by deception.” It’s unclear why the Lake Erie Walleye Tournament organizer sliced the walleye, but Cominsky and Runyan had previously been suspected of cheating.
