i understand the tournament rules/laws, but if you legitimately catch the fish by the means specified and are not competing for a cash or prize who are you cheating? how is a fishing contest law applicable here? i understand having 10lb. bass on a stringer and claiming you catch them is messed up but how the hell would one do that with a 400+ yft?

someone else handling the rod.. is a legit disqual...
we can disagree... but
If a quarterback throws for X yards in a game and almost sets a record... but there was a flea flicker and someone else threw for another 50... they don't count that person's yardage now do they.
the rules are there for a reason.. heck if someone handles a rod for someone because he was hot and tired and about to pass out - but for insurance reasons = he took a 5 minute break.. should they still get the record?
and.> i have had world records not be state records and vice versa.. simply because of the differences in the rules...
no big deal..

the world records are sanctioned by the IGFA which has set rules that all fisherman should know if they are going to be in a position to break a record.
Most tournaments base their rules on the IGFA rules.
the captain of the boat knew the rules and decided the give up a potential record to keep his customers safe/keep his insurance company happy.
