One of the reasons the BPT was formed was to protect anglers that made it to the top a little more from having to bow out after a rough start. https://www.bassmaster.com/news/carriere-miss-remainder-season

When i see what 90-98% of what kinda income the "pros" get......i realize how much some people just love tournament fishing regardless of the costs. I barely been bass fishing under 10 years...but when I started i wanted to go pro!!!!............cuz I thought it was like golf and all other major sports!!! Bass tournaments are essentially poker tournaments....almost literally the more you break things down side by side! LOL im serious....think about it 🤔

Not just to pay expenses, but to live life and support a family? Originally Posted by Cameron @ LFM He without sin cast the first shiner.

His whole family was with him to root him on. I believe he said that he guided both fresh and saltwater when not tournament fishing. I wish him well on coming back to the sport.

Now that would be the life imo! Sure youre not gonna be the richest man in the world....but hell. Living around/at a lake, staying booked up, being able to choose when you work, entering the local and bigger derbs when they come to town and likely cash a check in them, while having all the time you want/choose to dedicate to your family......sounds like a pretty sweet gig/life 🤷‍♂️
