The right thing to do would be to DQ any angler involved, however the state of "professional bass fishing" as far as financials and popularity isn't exactly on solid ground, so they did the politically beneficial thing for the enterprise at the expense of integrity, I get it, it's a business, but it sets a bad precedence, and what do you do next time? These folks have been fishing in several states for years, and the rules have always been to follow local regulations, no excuse.
