Obviously people need to learn how to read the WHOLE post before they comment first off i was not attacking other people until I was questioned no as far as posting my resume I will decline because that's not what the post was about ...........

Are you , Kvd, Evers, Rojas, Martins ? No well me neither but put me in the same area fishing and I will keep up with them if not beat them

THEY PUT ON THEIR PANTS JUST LIKE I DO thus there is no difference to how they fish compared to how I fish fishing is all about location and timing some skill but bass are optimistic hunters they would bite my bait as well as there's that being said being in the right place at the right time is key those guys do their diligence of being pros

I was simply saying that it would be cool to see offers like what I mentioned to see them develop into something real

Dedication and perseverence seems to be lost in today's world.

That's what separates the normal joes from the pros not handouts and sponsorships.

Fish a mid level local trail and see if you can dominate there first, then see if you can keep up at a higher level.

On any given day anyone can win, but putting together a limit everytime day in and day out on any body of water takes a whole lot more.

If you want to be a pro, nothing is stopping you only your own dedication to doing it.

Fish some trails and move up in the local standings, instead of looking for hand outs IMO.

Now a pro's vs joes fishing show might be cool like the other sports one they had.

Pro in his boat, randomly chosen angler from a mid level series in the region they want to film in , on a lake not in any regular trails line up.

I think that might be a cool tv show idea.

Let's see, I've got a truck, a boat, a BPS store in my lockers, great electronics, plenty of gas, good income, almost no bills, and I spend a LOT of time on the water.

Sometimes I even put my pants on both legs at a time just to be special.

Last year, I think I won a grand total of 600 bucks lmao. There is a HUGE difference in the pro's, the local good sticks, and every body else. Just the facts. If you're that good, jackpot a bunch of working man's tournaments and bank the cash, move up to the BWS, then to the opens.

Otherwise, just deal with the fact fishing is fun and I can drive fast in my shiny boat and have a blast destroying schooling dinks because I DON'T have the skills of the pro's. That's life. I doubt they could keep a drilling rig running or get a broken helicopter in the air like I can. Find something you're good at, do it, make money, fish, smile.

I started my own small organization a while back with a bunch of guys and gals that I love. Just weekend warriors with normal jobs. There are some great fishermen in the club, who always catch limits and seem to find them. And there are some guys, like me, don't. So even in a small East Texas sample there are guys who are better than others. It's insane to think the Elites aren't better than the average joe.

This is kin to those people who think they could drive in NASCAR if they had the backing. 99% of those would be only a hazard to the other drivers.
