These scumbags have consistently tried to destroy Frank Murphy’s reputation over their disqualification from last years Brawl. Karma is a bitch!

 

So glad that they nailed these guys today!! So much drama with these 2. Caught em red handed! Whatever the consequences are it’s not enough, been cheating way too long and getting away with it !!

 

Who are the guys that were cheating? What are there names?

 

Kaminsky and Runyon I believe. It’s all over Facebook!

 

Thanks Ken. We'll I would guess this isn't the 1st time they did this.

 

If all goes well, these guys won't even be able to enter a bass tournament, at a farmers pond!

 

Longer video here.

 

With the amount of money involved I hope there are legal ramifications for both of them.

 

 

LOL, in 'happier & honest days' (sarcasm):

Runyan estimates the two-angler team will share $306,000 for the unprecedented victories.

“I’m still numb,” said Runyan. “I can’t believe we won the derbies and the LEWT Championship. There are so many great walleye fishermen around here, and to find the success we did is absolutely amazing."

 

I may be mistaken but, I think that Chase was running some sort of charter boat up Ashtabula. Legally or maybe not legally?

 

yep, walleye whacker. odnr caught him running more lines than permitted back then.

 

They are lucky I wasn't in that parking lot they would be leaving in a body bag. Just found this out my blood is boiling they should be stripped of all they're license gear truck boat all of it F##&ing scumbags I always had a feeling them 2 where pulling some s#!t

 

Looking into it a little more they will likely be facing felony fraud charges. That's prison time

 

Which one of them has a MOMMY that's a LAWYER??

 

Greedy greedy greedy no punishment will be enough if i were them id be WATCHING my back LIARS CHEATS the worse

 

If guilty....Are these scumbags sponsored by Ranger?
Sure appears that way with the Ranger jacket and Runyans name plastered on the back of his like the pros do.
On top of hopefully being arrested and facing felony charges...sure hope Ranger as well as other sponsors/manufacturers that these two scumbags had plastered all over their clothes files law suit on them.
Also...hope ODNR was notified of the situation in case any fishing laws were broken.
Hopefully they did break some fishing laws and ODNR can suspend their license.
Lastly...glad these vids are going viral.
Again...if guilty...These two cheaters names and faces need to be plastered all over the net letting fishing communities everywhere know to watch out for them.

 

some where when they don't see it coming,,,someone, somewhere will nail these no good dirty low rent people. It just goes to show you how low some people are to take pride in winning only to find out that they pulled a stunt like this. It's nuts. They should do time on fraud charges and never be able to fish in Pa. and Ohio waters again. But it doesn't work that way because what state laws did they really break?

 

We had a guy get caught with fish in a basket years ago. The DNR arrested him on stage as he accepted his check. It was a felony arrest.

 

It’s a dang shame! Questions around these guys in the brawl now this!! Hope they go down hard! They “won” the last three lewt tournaments. Probably cheated in every tournament

Problem is that without any other proof, they can claim this was a one time thing and they were clean all the other times. Can't strip any of the past trophies away unless some plea deal has them allocute. If I heard it right, they came up to the scales needing 16 pounds. They had 33 with 8 pounds of weights. 25 actual pounds they had would have still won it. They will never fish another tournament

 

"I went to a fishing tournament weigh-in, and saw a NASCAR fight instead!"

 

FINALLY I always knew in my heart and soul they were cheating.I applaud who protested this.Maybe now some changes can be made for these tournaments.

Ya,,, Someone needs to contact the OHIO DNR,,,,, & post these results.
Actual PROOF of filleting WALLEYS & stuffing the fillets in another fish!?
Would that be an offence?

 

Things change over time - but I remember 'back in the day' when fileting fish, one needed to keep the 'skin on' in order to avoid any possible issues.

Unfortunately, that filet looked better than anything the four "trophy" fish would have provided after they were butchered on the side

(and where's "Chase' (??) - did he already bail knowing they were busted, and head for the hiils !!?)

 

What tipped the weighers off? i.e. what made them suspect something wasn't right? I couldn't determine it from the video.
They'll have to start running fish through metal detectors in the future - but that won't catch fillet's stuffed in their gut! So likely need to cut open all fish in the future!
Seems that anyone who came in second place to these guys has a valid claim against them! Fairly significant fraud. I was surprised that they got away without any harm!

The post-event turmoil is all about the polygraph tests the big winners are required to take.

This article didn’t age well for them

 

“Our reputation means the world to us and we would never cheat”

 

I have a feeling this thread is going to get ugly

 

When did this happen?

 

Yesterday

Unfortunately I didn't fish this event and wasn't there yesterday but second hand info states that the other anglers protested because anyone with common sense could tell just by looking at the fish that their basket-shouldn't have weighed 33 and change

 

Here is the guy himself bragging how many they won, or maybe should have said “stole”.

 

LOL,,,, An ATTORNEY would state that 'THERE'S NO PROOF THAT 'THEY' PUT THE WEIGHTS INTO THOSE FISH!!
The fish must of been swimming around like that,,, that's why they were so deep!!
lmbo,,,,, ;>)
