applying only to the last tournament of 2022, their other victories "were probably fraudulent as well." Their fish were heavy enough that they might have been able to win the tournament without the added weights, although it was unclear whether they had caught those fish that day, prosecutors noted. In addition to the terms they had already agreed to with prosecutors, Gall sentenced
Cominsky and Runyan to 10 days in jail`with an additional 30 days if they violated probation, and fined them $ 2,500, an amount that would be halved if they donated the other half to a nonprofit organization that promotes fishing for children. Their lawyers said that no punishment they could receive would be as severe as the lifelong stigma that would attach to them. "When they get Googled, this case is gonna show up forever," said Gregory Gentile.

With Runyan stepping back to the weigh station, Fischer put the fish on the ground, looked at them and then touched them. He felt an unusually hard bulge in one and asked his weighman for a knife.

Their 33.91-pound (15.38 kg) total catch also easily clinched them their fourth straight tournament, a second straight LEWT championship and another $ 30,000.
