I also heard about this as the lad in question came flying from his mark to show a friend his fish, which I also found strange, as if you're fishing well and you're catching from you're mark, you wouldn't leave it to go show your fish off. I can't really speak on the matter as a club member myself as I know little of it is true or false, either way it doesn't look good, and I found it very strange myself.

this is the first ive heard of this but I also found it strange when a lad who had caught a fish elseware early on came and fished a mark that wasn't producing.
