Sounds like trespassing to me if it is a private dock. Id never consider putting a foot on a dock. I may push off to keep my boat from banging dock, but would never step foot on one. He is simply holding a foot on a dock to keep boat off of it. If that is trespassing then most people who fish will be guilty. Everyone has grabbed a dock to hold to get a lure unhung.to keep from hitting it etc. I'm guessing you weren't watching him fish then, because he wasn't using his foot to keep his boat off the dock. He was standing on the dock and holding his boat with his other foot. Yes i watched it. You are making something out of nothing. He has a mrshal and a cameraman in his boat who see it far better than you can on TV. He is not breaking any rules.

[img:left] https://imgur.com/DsXZDKx[/img] Perry, how is he keeping his boat off of that dock with how he's standing? So why have a rule you won't enforce? I guess they know what rules aren't enforced.

I guess they know what rules aren't enforced. He was not Dqd. He did nothing wrong. BASS has a good grip on enforcing their rules. They dont need our help.Trust me you didnt find any Earth shattering evidence that they missed.

I looked at it (ColoradoAg) and I see 99% of his weight is on that dock and only his toes are on the boat. I'm not going judge but...........

There were several times when he was clear standing on the dock and holding his boat with the other foot. If he would have caught a fish that way, then that fish would not count. If he put it in his live well, I'm sure all of his weight would not have counted.

Leave it to the tff pros to know the bass rules more than the bass announcer's.

lot of people especially those fishing at the club level would like to turn tournament fishing into a "rules obeying" contest....
none of us want to get beat by someone outright cheating like getting fish out of a box,snagging the line on tied off fish or people shoving lead weights down a fish's throat...also think most of us don't want to win a tourney because somebody forgot to zip up his life jacket before he cranked the big engine or other similar infraction...we all need to keep in mind that we are competing to see who can catch the most accumulative weight for the tournament...
what wheeler was doing was just smart fishing....the bedding fish was less spooky by him using the dock to hold his boat rather the trolling motor and more than likely the fish was accustomed to people being on the dock...
