I don't know the rules but would expect to find them out before or at the draw, I would then stick to them or expect to be disqualified. I've got nothing against Mr Harrell but how come he can bend/break the rules. This smacks of the same two tier system that poleman1 has just raised in another thread.
It seems that if your a known good angler (at whatever level, i.e. small club or national) you somehow are allowed more say or more leeway than the not so good anglers. It's a theme that has been repeated in one form or another in numerous threads - your money's wanted but your opinion isn't.
P.s. hats off to him anyway for landing the fish, as already said that's no mean feat on match gear.
