HA HA what a joke to even start this thread. THE 'ELITE' as they are called get most of their "spots" from other people.They have people fishing the spots they are going to on the next lake or get spots from past events , and then just punch the points into their gps. "ALLMOST" I did say almost all the BIG name pros do it. Talk to some of the lesser known elite pros and see if what I say is true.......The leader of this event is notorious for that in the elite circle......yea they still have to execute but it is like most decent fishermen anybody can catch them if you can find them!!!!! Don't start running down someone for marking a spot on a PUBLIC WATER on the lake where THEY LIVE because some VISITOR might get his feelings hurt. How many times have you fished a weekend event and some one is on a spot you want to fish.You deal with it and go somewhere else.. Because you know about it doesn't make it yours. Chances are someone showed you or told you about it....
