Pretty crazy only 4 dudes (Ehrler 100k plus truck at TTBC) who earned over $200k from pro payouts. Anyone have FLW numbers to compare?

Over half the field must earn $40,000. annually from sponsors to just break even.

Graphic display of how much professional bass fishing is not a "get rich quick scheme"! Not even a get rich ever scheme. Actually for almost all it's a struggle to simply feed your family while perusing a profession you are passionate about. A true blessing is to love what you do but another blessing is to receive a good income from it.

Lots of respect for those guys, but there is no way it would be worth it for me to chase that dream. You could work an average job at home and jackpot local stuff and have a better year than a lot of those guys. I would love to fish every day, but if you turned it into work, it might not be as enjoyable for me.
