Always thought this way of making a living was surreal when it all started, but why not.
Amazing how the brain can’t conceive of an idea for a zillion years, like being paid to FISH, and bam it happens & thrives!
LOL

Bill, the money is not as much as the other sports,but these guys get a lot from their ""sponsors"" and get to do what they love for a living ( fishing ) -- when not fishing they are promoting their sponsors products all over the country -- Brandon use to fish some tournaments with us old guys,when he was a teen and most days, put a whoopin' on us **** added a link for ya' to see what he has been doing for the last few years.

He has won $520,808 during his nine year pro career. Which is an average of $57,868 per year. Not bad with the sponsorship dollars on top. I had a young Central Florida University graduate, who fished the tour, as a guide on Lake Okeechobee and the boat company provided his boat free. I think that is pretty common.Back in earlier the Ranger boat company provided all the boats for the bass Masters Tournament. I bought the picture boat from the 1985 BMC Tournament which was just parked for picture taking and advertisement purposes. It had never been in the water, but I got it from a dealer in Rutherford, NC, who at that time the largest Ranger dealer in the nation, for a huge discount. I think he ultimately lost the Ranger deal because he was discounting every sale and getting business from all over the east coast. The day I picked op my boat there was a guy from Pennsylvania picking up a boat.

I believe Hugh Greene may have been that dealer you are talking of. Talking of Brandon he used to fish a lot of tournaments we were promoting back in 07 - 2010. We also had Brian Latimer and his dad fishing our tournaments. Along with some of the best around here.
