Thats what I meant when I made the post making money off of sponsors. I have been thinking of ideas on getting my name out there in order to win over sponsors. Having our friends video tape us while we fish is one of the many. I understand it is a business and I know that there is more money in sponsors than in golf and tennis, and tiger woods makes millions. The second I set foot out on my boat in the water I have all intentions of working hard to getting sponsors and working for them, marketing myself with new fresh ideas.

Good answer. I'm looking for all the ways to make money. Whether it is sponsors or winning tournaments. I was also wondering how much the how much people get for having their own fishing TV shows, that is something I want to work hard to do. You don't necessarily have to be the best fisherman to have a TV show, and sponsors would pay you a lot more. Not saying it would be easy, but just thinking of other possibilities.

I can kind of see what you are saying about it making fishing not as enjoyable. Fishing with my brother is a bass tournament every time, so competetive. And if I was to start taking fishing very serious he would most likely be my partner, and I always have the most fun with him.

I'm sure it is everyone at this forums dream, but assuming you are a good fisherman and you devote yourself to fishing and fishing alone. How possible is it to not have a job and just travel the US fishing?
