If I'm fishing for bragging rights, I want to fish against the best. Bring 'em on. Yes, they should be able to fish.

Yes to all the above. I have no issue whatsoever with a guide fishing ANY tournament. Not sure on all that disallow guides but i think Champs has specific rules in place about it.

I personally think guides should be allowed to fish anything they want including Bass Champs.

Should be okay as long as the off water rules are followed.

What's the difference in a guide fishing a tournament and some retired guy that does nothing but fish? Yes, they should be able to fish any tournament.

Io think they should be allowed to fish any tournament they want but a local working mans tournament on there lake they guide on just because it is an unfair advantage over the market a working mans tournment targets.
I hope i dont get crucified for a different opinion but its IMHO

Anybody that is entering a tourny should have pretty good knowledge of the lake anyway and should not be worried about a guide!!!

I'm kinda with you on the working mans tournaments... I feel they are supposed to be for the guys like us that have to work all week and just want a little competition amongst their peers/equals. But I also think that it is up to who ever writes the rules. The people will fish the tournaments that they want, and that will tell you what the majority want.
As far as other tournaments/trails go, let anyone fish, as long as they obey the off-limits.
