They have an entire team of folks taking care of everything,like a NASCAR pit-crew if you will. If any of you guys think that they go into a tourny like you and me then you need to see the light. I am not taking anything away from these fellow fishermen but I really hate the Superstar hype.
I would say about 50% correct. Guides take pros out all of the time and tell them what's going on. Most of the big name pros have a "network" of very good info. I think they still have to find them and catch them and they have to be very good at keeping up their equipment and knowing how to use it----but the DO get alot of help.
KVD is still the man----he is the Tiger Woods,Michael Jordan,Dale Earnhardt, etc. He get plenty of help, but he also knows alot too.
