- The video only shows Jake Runyan frozen in his place as everyone around him was screaming at him. His teammate, Chase Cominsky, was nowhere to be seen as he likely had ran off when the competition organizer started to inspect their fish
- Their "winning" fish totalled a combined weight of 33 lbs. 8 lbs of it, were lead/other fish weights. Second place had 16 lbs of fish
- Their peers had suspected the pair had been cheating for sometime. Often citing that their fish didnt look like the weight it was officially weighed in at in previous competitions. It looked marginally bigger than the runner up's fish. This was the first time an organizer had inspected and cut up their fish
- The pair had recently been disqualified at a major competition earlier this year for failing a polygraph test. They had hired a lawyer to sue the organisers however that might change with this current turn of events

Clearly they are pretty good fishermen as they were winning without the weights and I just don't understand why you would cross the line and undermine your own talents by cheating. Greed is the downfall of man.
