Walleye Anglers Taken into Custody for Jail Time After Fishing Tournament Cheating Scandal

Two professional walleye anglers received fines and jail time Thursday morning for cheating in a walleye fishing tournament on Lake Erie last year, concluding a highly publicized scandal that turned the national spotlight on competitive fishing.

Defendants Chase Cominsky and Jacob Runyan had been on track to win a Sept. 30 Lake Erie Walleye Trail tournament, some $28,000 in prize money, and Team of the Year. But as an Ohio state prosecutor noted during the sentencing hearing Thursday, tournament directors had grown suspicious of the team’s “curiously unprecedented run of success” leading up to that tournament. Shortly after weighing in their walleyes, the teammates were discovered to have stuffed their catch with lead weights and walleye filets.

Judge Steven E. Gall delivered their punishment in the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court of Ohio. Both Cominsky and Runyan had plead guilty to felony charges of cheating, attempted grand theft, possessing criminal tools, and a final charge related to unlawful ownership of wild animals (the last charge refers to the walleye fillets included with the weights). All charges were delivered by a Cuyahoga County grand jury on Oct. 12.

The hearing ended when Cominsky, now 36, and Runyan, now 43, were handcuffed and taken into custody to begin a 10-day jail sentence, after which they will be released on probation for a year and a half.

Cominsky and Runyan were also fined $2,500, half of which Gall said he would suspend if they made charitable contributions to a children’s fishing non-profit, mentioning organizations like Cast for Kids and the Ike Foundation. Both men also received the maximum three-year suspension of their fishing licenses. Cominsky’s Ranger boat and trailer, which had previously been seized during the execution of a search warrant, were also forfeited.

The prosecution noted Thursday that the fishing boat was not only likely purchased using winnings from illegally won tournaments, but that it was also a “criminal tool” that helped Cominsky and Runyan actively cheat during the tournament.

“When the ODNR law enforcement officers executed a warrant and seized that boat and photographed that boat, they found a compartment on that boat that literally smelled fishy,” said assistant Cuyahoga County prosecutor James Gallagher.  “And [it] was sort of customized to have a secret compartment that would enable these defendants to conceal—whether it be fish that they caught the day before or the lead weights that would allow them to potentially pass a boat inspection.”

The prosecution presented photos of a metal faceplate underneath the Ranger’s console. Officials noted that the screws, which normally keep it watertight, had been removed.

“It smelled particularly foul when they opened it up,” Gallagher said.

Gallagher also played video footage captured at the tournament ahead of including footage of Runyan and Cominsky’s weigh-in, tournament director Jason Fischer’s discovery of the lead-stuffed walleye, and the crowd’s furious reaction.

“I’ve run approximately 19 events [since 2019]. The defendants in this case have won nine of those [19] events, and 11 top finishes in total. So over 50 percent of my events they’ve done well in. And I read a statistic somewhere that somebody who steals or is a thief gets caught approximately one out of 48 times,” Fischer told the court in a victim impact statement, adding that the next closest finisher had won just two events in total. “I treated them as my friends, I worked on their boats, I talked to them, I called them, I defended them many times against my own friends.”

The professional fishing community, Fischer said, had received substantial negative publicity as a result of Cominsky and Runyan’s actions. As a result, the Lake Erie Walleye Trail was not able to renew its permits for this year’s competition.

“We had to move events because Cleveland Metro Parks didn’t want the drama you just saw,” Fischer said, referring to the videos of the angry crowd.

Defense attorney Gregory Gentile said that Cominsky and Runyan have suffered “seemingly endless negative public humiliation” since the cheating scandal, but that they have accepted full responsibility for their actions.

While the defense anticipated the three-year fishing license suspension, Gentile says his clients’ actions have already created what’s “effectively a lifetime suspension for them. They’re never going to fish a tournament again… When they go on a date, apply for a job, this case is going to come up.”

Both defendants spoke on their own behalf just ahead of sentencing.

“I just want to apologize to you, Your Honor, apologize to my family, my friends, the fishing community,” Cominsky said. He also apologized directly to Fischer, looking across the room at the tournament director. “I feel embarrassed. Super embarrassed. It was a bad action that we made, I will live with it for the rest of my life, and it’s something that my kids will probably end up seeing while growing up. It really hurts. I wish I could take it back.”

“This is embarrassing, I’m ashamed, most ignorant decision I’ve ever made in my life,” Runyan said, also apologizing to Fischer and the community in a short statement.

Just before delivering the 10-day jail sentence and concluding the hearing, Judge Gall addressed the two men.

“I do genuinely believe that you gentlemen are remorseful,” Gall said Thursday. “But there is a consideration for deterrence, which I think is also [an] equally important consideration.”

Gall initially handed down a 30-day jail sentence but suspended it. Violation of probation will result in a 12-month prison sentence.

Isaac Lakich, Max Wilson, and Corey Heiser at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's National Walleye Tour (NWT) wraps up in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Friday, July 28, 2023

Pro Angler Max Wilson weighed in Friday with a two-day tournament total of 65.12 pounds to win the Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's National Walleye Tour (NWT) in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.

"We came in today around 32 pounds," Wilson said. "It was beautiful out and the wind was blowing a little. It made for prime fishing along the St. Marys River."

Amateur partner Steve Beasley of Macomb County said the whole experience was unbelievable.

"I am just over the moon," he said. "This is so fantastic. I was in 34th place yesterday, and was only hoping to come in at the top ten."

Beasley took home just under $8,000, and Wilson took home approximately $15,000 for his first place win.

Pro Angler Isaac Lakich weighed in at second place with 57.10 pounds, and Corey Heiser came in third place at 54.09 pounds.

National Professional Anglers Association (NPAA) hosted the Future Angler Fishing Clinic, organized by NPAA member Jason Przekurat immediately afterward.

Pro anglers signed T-shirts and gave away nearly 200 fishing poles for the Connor Gorsuch Kids Fishing Day at Rotary Park Saturday morning.

"The economic impact of this tour is outstanding," said Sault Ste. Marie Convention & Visitors Bureau Director Linda Hoath. "There were 98 boats here. I am hearing all of the places they went shopping and out to eat."

There were nearly 300 people at the NWT in Sault Ste. Marie yesterday afternoon. 

The St. Marys tour was just one of four qualifying tournaments to get to Devil's Lake, North Dakota for the National Walleye Tour Championship Sept. 6-8.

Hoyer repeats as National Walleye Tour champion on Devils Lake

Sep. 8—DEVILS LAKE — Chalk up another Devils Lake professional walleye tournament win for John Hoyer.

Hoyer, of Wayzata, Minnesota, weighed in 23 pounds, 4 ounces of walleyes on the third and final day Friday, Sept. 8, to win the Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's National Walleye Tour Championship on Devils Lake with a three-day weight of 93 pounds, 6 ounces.

That's an average of more than 6 pounds per fish for the 15 walleyes he weighed in during the tournament. Hoyer, who took home NWT Angler of the Year honors, as well, also won the 2019 NWT Championship on Devils Lake with a three-day weight of 67.73 pounds.

Winning the amateur co-angler division in the NWT Championship was Trinity Schaff of Fargo, Hoyer's partner on the final day of the tournament. Schaff tallied a three-day weight of 78 pounds, 3 ounces.

A total of 41 pros and 41 amateur co-anglers started the tournament, which began Wednesday, Sept. 6, with the top 10 in each category after Thursday's second day competing on the third and final day of the tournament. Grahams Island State Park was tournament headquarters.

In a livestream following his tournament win, Hoyer said he and Schaff didn't have a fish as of about 9:30 Friday morning.

"Then we kind of rolled into a secondary area, and Trinity caught the first one," Hoyer said. "It was just windy and it was so different, but I'm like, 'Throw a crankbait on and throw it up on that shore,' and like five casts, he catches a 4-pounder.

"I'm like, 'Alright, we can't be silly, we're keeping that one.' "

A short time later, Hoyer caught a 3 3/4 -pound walleye he threw back. After another hour with no fish, they caught a 3 1/2 -pounder. They kept that one, Hoyer says, along with another 3 1/2 -pounder.

That gave them two more walleyes to reach their five-fish limit.

"Then we caught like a 5 1/2 -pounder, and the final fish was a 27-incher," Hoyer said.

Catching that last fish, which he had spotted on his forward-sonar electronics, took some serious coaxing. First, Hoyer said, he threw a jig and a crawler at the fish, then a slip bobber and a crawler, then a glide bait.

"Once you get to know your electronics, you understand that if that thing is sitting there floating, basically sleeping, they're like sitting ducks, and I just beared down on it," he said. "I turned, and it was 30 feet in front of the boat just sitting still, and I just took a deep breath, made the perfect cast, watched the bobber, the jig and the crawler ... dropped down to him, and the (fish) whips around and the bobber goes down. It's like childhood memories."

Thanks to a north wind, Hoyer says, the spot that produced a 39-plus-pound catch for him the previous day went cold on Friday.

"(With) that north wind, they were just gone," he said. "They were not in there."

For winning the NWT Championship, Hoyer takes home $30,000 and a $70,000 Nitro walleye boat with a Merc 225 outboard on the back. He also lands a $90,000 Ranger 620 with a Mercury 250 outboard for winning the Angler of the Year title.

Schaff won $6,500 for placing first in the co-angler category.

The whole year fishing the NWT circuit as a co-angler has been an "awesome opportunity," Schaff said.

"It's been a dream of mine for quite awhile and I look forward to coming back next year," he said.

Rounding out the top 10 pros and their three-day weights were as follows:

* Second: Isaac Lakich, Richfield, Wisconsin, 90 pounds, 6 ounces.

* Third: Will Pappenfuss, Shevlin, Minnesota, 79-03.

* Fourth: Josh Wiesner, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, 77-11.

* Fifth: Dustin Minke, Walker, Minnesota, 76-10.

* Sixth: Mike Defibaugh, Bellefontaine, Ohio, 75-08.

* Seventh: Max Wilson, Campbellsport, Wisconsin, 74-07.

* Eighth: Matt Schiefelbein, Sobieski, Wisconsin, 72-10.

* Ninth: Eric McQuoid, Kewaunee, Wisconsin, 66-15.

* 10th: Korey Sprengel, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, 54-14.

Rounding out the top 10 co-anglers and their three-day weights were as follows:

* Second: Paul Selle, Lexington, South Carolina, 77 pounds, 11 ounces.

* Third: Rich Weiss, North Platte, Nebraska, 77-02.

* Fourth: Dillon Gorman, Baraboo, Wisconsin, 77-01.

* Fifth: Kolton Krawiecki, Pillager, Minnesota, 74-07.

* Sixth: Jeremy Bengtson, River Falls, Wisconsin, 72-08.

* Seventh: Jonathan Cieslak, Hartland, Wisconsin, 68-00. Cieslak also was the co-angler Angler of the Year.

* Eighth: Paul Stokes, Stockbridge, Michigan, 67-12.

* Ninth: Thomas Blanchard, Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, 66-01.

* 10th: Eric Wesolowski, Pulaski, Wisconsin, 54-06.
