I mentioned on here one time that I compared it to charity golf tourneys. Except the golfers don't call them themselves "pros" like these bass tourney guys do. A guy moved in next door to me and he told everyone he was pro fisherman. After questioning he has a regular job and fishes in these tourneys. Hardly a professional in my book is the guy throwing in a hundy to fish a charity tourney on the weekend. Heck I might have made more money playing golf than he did after he paid for the boat, gas, insurance etc.....I definitely made more if you include my side bets.
