Fair play to the chap for catching the fish...but if he had to break the rules to catch the fish then all respect is lost for him.....
I fish for myself and don't publicise or put any of my captures on social media...i share my photos with the missus cos i get loads of stick off her for blanking all the time.....
The way i see it..when you join to fish a water albeit a club water / limited membership water or syndicate you read the rules for the waters you want to fish...if you don't want to abide by the rules, think there stupid or unnecessary then don't join....... if he has caught the fish “illegally' I would ban him from the water and make it public ally known he caught the fish illegally...
If the fish was caught legallly and within the rules..then a very well done from me

It's the same with the angler who if you mention his name on here it's all goes mad who has a cypography slot about ‘guesting' etc some are fine with it.
For me nah if he caught it from an out of bounds, then that's not only an insult to the guys who are on there fishing honestly, and to all the previous captors and members who have caught it honestly. However until it's confirmed it's all hear say

THIS is why we need VAR in angling....

I think he was given exclusive permission to fish an out of bounds area. If that's the case then he has done nothing wrong.....but must leave a sour taste for the rest of the syndicate. Can't blame the bloke though....who wouldn't want to fish that swim!?

He has posted a video on his Faceache page of his mate eloquently saying it was not from the out of bounds, the sound is bad though so I couldn't really hear what he was saying (which may be a good thing) and also said himself:
I can confirm it was not out of bounds. Wtf, who even told you this? It was called good angling and doing something different that involved having ********. Every member and his dog can and have fished where I fished but not to the extreme I took it too.
I was here for a good time, not a long time.

His mate would hardly say it was caught in an out of bounds area.
My guess is you'll never really find out if it was or not.

I can genuinely say I still wouldn't do it even if give permission as in my own mind it's an unfair advantage. Now if I caught I'd due to my own hard work or going above and beyond then sweet because everyone else can do that not cos he was given permission to fish a previously out of bounds area. It's like Dave lane catching it from a freshly cut swim the carp felt safe there

If some fella who catches a fish from an area of the lake, that he should not fish bothers you - then I genuinely don't know if I envy you or despise you.

Was not referring about Mr Ellis. Even though there is a high probability he is a better man than me and you 👍🏻
Edit.
My apologies Spinboy. I mis-read. It happens.
If a man whom is better than me gets bent out of shape so much so, because of a fish being caught. Then it is of my opinion that he is missing something in his life. I am sorry if a better man gets distorted of my opinion.

What I am getting at, is - if someone catching a fish really bothers someone that much. Then it would appear that they don't have much to worry about in their life. So then, I envy them. Because as a man with a family to provide for, as well as other dependants. Some chap catching a fish is hardly worth getting bent out of shape for.
If someone does feel the need to slander someone because they are jealous of that person catching a fish, then yes, I do despise that person. I would suggest that they take that negativity and try turn it into a positive somewhere that really matters in life.
My moral compass is pretty much governed by my responsibilities and also my mistakes in life. Both of which I have plenty. I'm just trying to be the best version of myself.
