The current Bassmaster tourney in my hometown has me all fired up.

How many pros are generally fishing an Elite series tourney? Tons?

I think I read somewhere on this board where most often, a co-angler would not be teamed up with a top-tier name, like Alton, KVD, etc, etc because of the camera guy.  Is tha the case?

Does the same also apply to FLW tourneys?

Thanks

Elite Series has around 110 Pros while Opens can have 200+  

According to the rules every pro is to be matched with an amateur unless there are not enough amateurs; there are no amateurs on the final day. I have friends who have fished with many of the top pros; it's all in the luck of the draw.

BFL is usually about 130-150 co anglers and another 130-150 boaters.
