“I take all crime very seriously, and I believe what these two individuals attempted to do was not only dishonorable but also criminal,” O’Malley said. According to the indictment, the pair participated in the Sept. 30 Lake Erie Walleye Trail tournament where they "did knowingly engage in conduct designed to corrupt the outcome" in order to win $29,000.

Fishing enthusiasts from a number of states were taking part in the competition in which anglers had to catch five of the heaviest walleye fish they could. But tournament organizers were immediately suspicious at the weigh-in because each of Runyan and Cominsky's fish weighed in at at least 7 pounds, instead of the 4 pounds they appeared to be. “I thought, There’s just no way,” tournament director Jason Fischer told CNN earlier this month.
