Sounds like he was aware he needed the proof of insurance in the boat. He has spent alot of money and years fishing the tournament and was well aware of the rules. I think he got what he deserves, especially after the way he responded. No excuse for that at all…

March 8, 2009 at 2:32 pm #756052Sounds like he expects special treatment.

“I’ve dropped over $300,000 in entry fees with BASS over the course of a 10-year period, and they’re going to tell me I have to pay a $50 late fee,” Monroe said when reached by cell phone. “It comes down to a respect issue.”
Bowes said several other competitors also were fined for registering late.
Monroe said he also felt proof of insurance shouldn’t have been an issue because Bowes could have “let me blast off and go fish, and if I didn’t show him the proof of insurance at the end of the day then he could have DQ’d me.”
Bowes said he had no choice.
“If I send them out there after seeing that they don’t have insurance and they get in a wreck, liability becomes a concern,” Bowes explained. “The BASS rules are intended to protect everyone, including spectators.
Not to mention that he is taking fish and fishing area away from other cometitors if he’s out there only to be DQ’d later.
