The controversy around a Lake Erie fishing tournament attracted the attention of Ohio prosecutors.

The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation into an apparent cheating scandal during the walleye fishing tournament. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources said the agency’s officers gathered evidence from the tournament and were preparing a report for authorities.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley said his staff will be meeting Tuesday with the agency.
 

"I take all crime seriously, including attempted felony theft at a fishing tournament. These individuals will be held accountable," O’Malley said.

Video posted to Twitter over the weekend showed Lake Erie Walleye Trail tournament director Jason Fischer cutting open the winning catch of five walleye on Friday and finding lead weights and prepared fish filets inside of them. Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky, the winning anglers, were disqualified.
