anyone heard anything?

what exactly does the "pro staff" do? always wondered this. I am sure some of you are on the "pro staff", if you dont mind sharing, i would love to know. I was a HS football/ basketball coach for 15 years, (in Texas that is an 80 hr a week job) and I quit coaching so I could coach my own kids and watch them grow up, as well as chase my dreams in the fishing arena. My first year fishing tournaments regularly has gone quite well and I am probably going to move up to one of the bigger trails next year. How does someone become a "pro staffer", and what do they do?

thank ya'll for the input! really appreciate it!!!

Is it against the law (copyright or otherwise) to buy say a DD22 and put a custom paint job on it and then sell it? I realize this may be random but I really need to know... thanks in advance.

I have since 2004. It really helps, especially here in South Texas. the water levels are never the same from year to year and I keep track of how low the water is. So when it is 30 ft low, I can see where I caught fish last time it was low, or when it fills up over a few days of flooding, I dont have to start all over trying to locate fish.

I think it might just make enough of a difference in real clear water when it suspends. The fish get a real good look at it as it sits there.

have you ever been told that you had been "skinned"... hahaha actually, I will probably try some at Amistad next month. The fish are getting so picky in that clear water I can use any help I can get...

It's funny how things differ from place to place. Down here in Texas we dont seem to catch the numbers of fish but the size is much bigger. I am not happy if I fish and dont catch at least one around 5, but a 20 fish day would be a real good one. Sounds like a lot of ya'll catch 30+ easy but may not have the size. Weird...

My alltime favorite was GO FISH with fish fishburn. right now it would be WGFS. I also really like Bass Center. Those are fun. After that I like anything with compitition. Although Boston Charlie tries this Texans Patience.... Dont really have any that I dont like.

I bet that was fun, to say the least. I have caught over 100 several times on ponds and creeks that were unfished but never in a lake. that in awesome!

176???!!!! what do you use? a gill net?

For me it has to do with how long in between bites like some of ya'll have said. Also, for it to really be a good day i need at least on over 5.

Different mattman. I break rods not make rods... hahaha and seldom do I break them on fish! Thank the Lord for generous return policies of unnamed retail stores!!!

No prob bro, guess I didnt read you right. Peace.

Thanks. I read it but not sure how it applys to me. I was introducing myself not pimping a tournament trail. And Rebel is a bass club located in San Antonio, not a trail. No hidden motives, I was just saying Hi and that if anyone is coming my way I would be glad to help out. Maybe this is not the place for me.
