Does anybody know of any Pro Bass Anglers that are on this forum?

What is a "pro" fisherman anyway. I have made $1000's of dollars fishing tournaments.  I have a few sponsors.  I do not consider myself a "pro" fisherman though.  Others will answer your question, I just want to know what is a "pro"

Getting paid to do something is my definition of a pro.

 

I've won a few dollars I'm a pro too!

i remember Mike Iaconelli stopping by and posting on a few occasions, im sure others have too...

I would consider someone a pro if their primary income comes from fishing. This could mean tournament fishermen or commercial fishermen.

Google's definition of a professional - a person engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as a pastime. Sorry all you tournament guys who have won some money fishing tournaments. If it's not your career, you aren't a pro. 

 

To ad to the post, I know Scott Martin has made some posts, but I'm not sure if it's actually him or if it's someone who is doing it for him.

Ive seen Ike post here, and even though they're not pro's, you can see Mattlures,  Bobby Megastrike, Big O and other lure designers/manufacturers. Great sources of info.

So I guess I'm a Professional employee.:-\

Mike D. From lunkerville is a pro by googles standards. He's every man's pro. He's on here.

Kool !

There are many ways the word 'Pro' can be interpreted.

 

These are two ways that are commonly brought up.

1. 'Pro' is short for the word 'Professional' which implies those who hold an occupation as a fisherman are considered as 'Pros'.

2. Today's usage of 'Pro' is stretched these days. Now, those who excel in fishing can also be considered as 'Pros'.

 

It's up to you how you interpret 'Pro' as.

Everyone is a pro, benches 300+, makes six figuers, and is married to super model on the internet...

You nailed that!!!

I know some pros. They get a 10% discount on tackle. Lol.

I'd say by "pro" most mean either a working guide or competitive fisherman that derives the majority of their income from either. There's a few well known guides, and and a handful of guys that compete at the top levels on this site.

Lets send some here into a tail spin and mention Glenn!

I tell my wife I'm a PRO, so she will let me go fishing more often, does that count?.......

JT Bagwell posts occasionally on here and writes some articles as well.

Jeez, I forgot about JT. He's a good, honest guy.

Mark Menedez I thought popped in here a while back.  I think it was him..
