this is kind of an amazing story that isn't getting national play but should.
Two dudes who have positioned themselves as perennial champion fishers got caught cheating at the Lake Erie Walley championship. They had their limit but the fish appeared to be smaller than other people yet weighed much more. The event chair, after weighing them and declaring them to be in possession of the most fish by weight, cut a fish open to find sinkers embedded in fish skin, stuffed into the fish's bellies. He immediately claimed that they cheated and held up the presentation.
today, both of the guys were arrested and their equipment was seized. One guy is from Hermitage PA, and the other is from Ashtabula.
