We’ve got more weights in fish? 🤬
This time instead of lead weights, they were allegedly using the au naturel kind:

Pics and details are from this Wired2Fish write-up:

> “Another alleged cheating angler was banned from tournament competition for stuffing walleyes with other fish in an attempt to win prize money in a fishing event on Lake Erie in New York. In this incident, which occurred during the Bart’s Cove Duel in Dunkirk tournament on July 29-30, 2023, [🤡] was allegedly observed stuffing fish into walleyes in an attempt to increase his weight to win the prize money in the event.”

> “The NY State Department of Conservation officers were called in, and they examined the fish [🤡] presented for weigh-in to find that there were undigested, cut up fish stuffed into the fishes’ mouths and bellies. They confiscated the fish and their investigation is still ongoing.”

> “The tournament director, Mark Mohr, having seen the evidence and after consulting with the DEC, banned [🤡] from the event or ever fishing another of the events for life. [🤡] is not only in hot water over this debacle, but he’s already been charged in connection with two other recent incidents in July which caused the NY State Police to issue an extreme risk protection order against [🤡] in state Supreme Court of Chautauqua County, and he was charged in those incidents with second-degree menacing, criminal mischief and stalking, which are all misdemeanors.”

That is not my thoughts. If you have to cheat to win, it's not worth it.

It's sad people feel the need to do this. I feel these guys are the generation that grew up where everybody got a trophy just because they played. I remember trying out for the team, and either you made it or you didn't, no trophies for 'participation'
