Two fishermen allegedly caught cheating in viral video plead not guilty

Sorry P-k, I meant to post this link to your post about " egg sinkers".

Not sure how I missed?

Old boys screwed up and now are paying for their crime. Sad thing is Hunter can lie on a federal gun application to Purchase a pistol in today’s climate of gun control and NOTHING happens to him. Plus so many more examples of the law turning it’s head on crime.

Hey, who hasn’t caught a fish with a belly full of egg sinkers?

I caught a redeyed bass while catfishing with a whole bream once. Got him landed and it had another bream the same size as the one I was fishing with already in his mouth, greedy bastard. I didn’t think of it at the time but he could have been close to a state record. He was rather large released and remembered. too bad I lost those pics on another phone when my sim card fried.

How big is the state record?

The probable world record for Redeye bass is 5 lb 2.5 oz (2.34 kg) from Lake Jocassee in South Carolina.

Judge Steven Gall of the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court suspended a 30-day jail sentence on the misdemeanor charge in favor of a 10-day jail sentence. That will be followed by 1-1/2 years of probation for the felony cheating charge. If Runyan or Cominsky violate probation, they could face a year in prison.

The judge also ordered each to pay a $2,500 fine, half of which can be suspended if they make a donation to a charitable organization focused on fishing and children.

Just saw this… 10 days was not enough, nor was the fine…

Shooting deer out of season and/or at night and putting his wife’s tags on them, wow

Probably wouldn’t have gotten in trouble for it if they hadn’t been mounted on his wall :laughing:
