If you thought last month\u2019s chess grandmaster anal bead conspiracy saga<\/span> was the worst thing that could happen to a competitive sporting event, I\u2019ve got some bad news for you. The rollicking world of competitive sports fishing now has an oh-fish-ial controversy of its own after competitors at a tournament in Ohio were caught stuffing their catches full of heavy balls of lead, artificially increasing their weight. Nothing is sacred anymore.<\/p>\n

Last week the fishing competition, Ohio\u2019s Lake Erie Walleye Trail tournament<\/span>, was marred in controversy after onlookers discovered fisherman Jacob Runyan sea-cret to success: stuffing his catch of walleye fish to the gills with lead balls and commercial fish filets. Prior to the scandal, Runyan and his fishing partner Chase Cominsky were regarded as some of the best anglers in the sport, according to Cleveland.com<\/em><\/span>. Now his entire legacy is under scrutiny.<\/p>\n
