Jason Fischer is the Tournament Director for the Lake Erie Walleye Trail. Jason was at the center of a cheating controversy that put fishing on the front page of major newspapers, as well as being on network television and radio. The LEWT cheating scandal also completely blew up social media, too. Listen to Jason Fischer tell the story of how he discovered that a pair of formerly successful walleye fishermen loaded their caught walleyes with lead weights and fish filets, trying to pull a fast one on the entire fishing world. You can’t put one past Jason Fischer! He also did a great job of keeping order at the weigh-in, as many spectators thought the pair of cheaters were going to be tarred and feathered or possibly hung from the highest nearby tree. It’s a story we hope will never be repeated but hats off to Jason Fischer.
