Fishermen Sentenced to Jail for Cheating in Tournaments.

Two fishermen who cheated in an Ohio fishing tournament by stuffing fish with lead weights and fillets have been sentenced to ten-day jail terms and forfeiture of a $100,000 boat. They also agreed to three-year suspensions of their fishing licenses and must pay a $2,500 fine. Half the fine will be waived if they each make a $1,250 donation to a nonprofit organization that promotes fishing with children. The men were investigated for cheating in a different walleye tournament earlier in the year, but there was not enough evidence to charge them.
