On the one hand I would have liked to fish in a boat with one of the elite series guys, but I also would not want to be the one who screws up the pro. So I guess I like the rule, and will investigate what it costs to do a ride along. I think it would be a great time to see just how hard these guys work out there.
I have been a co-angler in BFL and Bass and have enjoyed it a lot. I also try extra hard not to screw up a spot the boater has found. In smaller club tournaments I have fished with guys who dont know how to flip or pitch and cast in front of me all the time, it drives me a little insane and I am only fishing for $20, could not imagine fishing for 10,000 cut line and have some idiot doing stupid stuff in the boat.
