Rick Morris, who appealed his day-1 DQ at the Smith Mt. Bassmaster Elite Series, said he was told by BASS that the ruling will stand.
Morris declined to comment on the decision, but indicated he will possibly have a statement Monday.
BASS director of communications Jamie Wilkinson told BassFan: "On June 28, 2007, the BASS Appeals Committee heard and considered the appeal of Bassmaster Elite Series pro Rick Morris regarding the violation of Rule 14 at the Blue Ridge Brawl presented by Advance Auto Parts. The committee found that the penalty is correct for the infractions and circumstances in this case."
