BassFan spoke with Rick Morris today while he was practicing for this week's Grand Lake Bassmaster Elite Series. He confirmed that he did file an appeal with BASS by the appointed deadline last week, and noted he hasn't heard back yet. He does expect some communication this week or the week after.
"I haven't heard a thing," he said. "But whatever happens – good, bad or indifferent – this is going to be good for the fishermen. The rule's going to get clarified, and explained a little better, and they'll probably rewrite it in the future. I feel like the decision should go in my favor, but even if it doesn't, hopefully the fishermen will see that somebody stood up to the rule."
