I received feedback that some competitors are concerned with my submission for the Ride in the Rain as it clearly shows my kayak sitting on a wodden dock. I prefer to address issues head on so here is my explanation. When I caught the lmb I realized I'd left my ruler at the cabin on the banks of the pond. The pond is grown up so the dock is the primary point of entry and exit for my kayak. I slipped the kayak up on the dock, ran to the cabin to retrieve the ruler, took the pic and then released the bass in good health.
I looked over the rules and could not find a problem. It is my belief that using my dock does not differ greatly from those who take a pic from shore. However, if I am off base on my assessment or have violated a rule then I would expect the fish to be disqualified.
