Two men, Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky, have pleaded guilty to charges of cheating and unlawful ownership of wild animals in an Ohio fishing tournament last fall. As part of a plea deal, they agreed to three-year suspensions of their fishing licenses and to pay a fine of $1,000 each. The tournament director has not yet commented on the incident.
