Alleged cheating disrupts another Lake Erie walleye event, this time in New York

It was déjà vu all over again for Lake Erie fishing contests when a team competing in the Bart’s Cove Duel, at Dunkirk, N.Y., allegedly attempted to slip one over on tournament officials and other teams when they tried to weigh in fish that had purposely been weight-enhanced by stuffing other fish, or fish portions, into the stomach of a walleye.
The tournament, held July 29-30, featured a total of 34 boats that braved the wind, waves, and even waterspouts on Lake Erie, to compete for cash prizes and some great trips.

Antenori was fishing in the Lake Ontario Counties (LOC) Trout, Salmon, and Walleye Derby (held July 1-30) and caught a 29-pound, 2-ounce king salmon to take over the lead for the $10,000 grand prize.
