If you’ve got the cash, you can purchase the boat used in one of the biggest fishing scandals in recent memory. And it’s a pretty sweet rig. In 2022, two Ohio anglers came under fire for stuffing walleye with lead weights at a Lake Erie walleye fishing tournament. Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky faced multiple felony charges and were ultimately each sentenced to ten days in jail. They were also forced to forfeit the boat they used to commit their crimes to authorities. Now, that boat could be yours.

Many people might wonder what the difference is between crocodiles and alligators, and the answer is not a whole lot when you're trying to avoid them. Alligators have darker skin than crocodiles and a more rounded nose. They are found in freshwater — lakes, streams, and rivers — unlike crocodiles, which generally survive in salt water, often near the coast. Perhaps the easiest way to spot the differences between them is by their teeth. A crocodile's bottom fourth tooth on each side always sticks out when its mouth is closed, whereas an alligator's slides into the upper jaw.

A photo released by the sheriff’s office showed a package of the suspected cocaine emblazoned with an image of a bald eagle.” [CBS]
