Here is what I can tell you on this matter. I fished the FLW tour as a rookie this past season. I have also fished several Bassmaster Open events as a "pro". The jump from FLW Tour to Open was huge. Night and Day as far as the caliber of angler. Tour was so much tougher. Many tour guys do fish the opens as well. They don't put near the time and effort into the opens as most guys do. Many guys prefish WEEKS straight for the opens, then they make the Tour and get smashed. Seasoned Tour guys have years to built their skill set on all type of water as well as huge networking advantage. The better you are the more people want to help you. Those guys are that good period.

Better yet go fish an open in a part of the country you have never fished on 3 days practice. Its a good skills test.

You gotta admit - that video is hilarious! If you say so. I'm sure some do find it funny, and they have all the right in the world to laugh at it. It sounds to me like someone is just trying to make fun of everyone that they aren't friends with or fish with. Maybe if there weren't countless topics of people (usually the same people) talking smack about other people it would be a little more funny to me. It literally reminds me of a clique in middle school, jr high, or high school making fun of another clique. To each their own. Amen

Got to hang around and talk to a lot of the FLW Tour guys down at the Red in the Open this year and trust me, those guys had practiced as long and as hard as anyone for that event. They went into that event trying to win and get the Classic berth that goes along with it.

Ok in the case of the Red River in April there was a 2 week gap in the schedule. Thats more the exception than the rule. Between tour events and sponsor obligations it's doubtful they actually spent that much time there. Anything more than 3 days is a lot of time to them. I guarantee there were a lot more non tour guys that prefished longer than the tour guys.
