I would pay $500 for a chance to learn, share a boat, and be around the group of anglers that are way better than I. It's 3 days of on the water training, aka guide service, where you get to see all sorts of opportunities you may have overlooked. Heck from what I hear, you get one heck of a prize pack as well. I would be asking about graph setup, what they're thinking, etc...as long as I wasn't imposing or throwing them off their game.
It's an investment to me.
I would think someone riding along as an "observer", during what is the biggest tournament in professional bass fishing, would not do anything to distract or bother the anglers by conducting a question session during tournament hours. That mindset of "your investment" is exactly the reason some anglers do not like the marshal program.

Generally speaking I have to p off the back of boat at least twice and possibly take a number 2. I see this as a real problem with spectator boats, cameras, etc.. what is your plan for this situation A better question may be, how do you think an angler would act if he turned around to see somebody dropping the kids at the pool in his livewell? Lol Yep or if you don't clear the splash well

That mindset of "your investment" is exactly the reason some anglers do not like the marshal program. I wouldn't dream of impacting anyone in such a large event. The pros have their rules and will tell you before they start. I'm like to think I'm pretty intuitive around attitudes and how they would act / respond. This is their day...never would I ruin that for them. But if they were open and talking about things, I would listen and respond.

One of our days is a practice day so maybe it will be a little less stressful and can talk a bit depending on who I draw

why do they need a Marshall ? Professionals should be honest and trustworthy I would think.

I see this as a real problem with spectator boats, cameras, etc.. what is your plan for this situation This is a legit question I got lucky enough to draw Palaniuk and Greg Vinson a few years ago at Travis. You just go as you normally would while fishing, they drive so much faster than anyone chasing them that you get time right after making a run. The way they fish during a tournament is definitely something to see first hand. Worth the experience to me. I got lucky and they were both explaining everything they were doing and thinking, I learned a lot.
