KVD Wins Again!!

[MarkW]

A lot of folks forget or do not know that these guys are a coorperation with millions of dollars at stake in advertising and endorsements.All the have to do is execute. The fish are already found and patterned. The GPS units are pre-programed and ready to go. All of this is done before they arrive at the launch. 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.

It all comes down to this: If you are going to be a top professional in any sport, it takes a lot of hard work, a lot of sacrifice, a lot of help along the way, some lucky breaks and a desire to succeed that overshadows all other aspects of your life and a ton of talent. Not much different from anyone that makes it to the top in any business when climbing the ladder from the bottom.

Obviously I would rather be fishing for a living since that is what I do....but if you think it is easy then you have never done it.

I gurantee you it would be the toughest job you have ever had. If you think you're stressed out at work now try fishing for a living. At least you have a guranteed paycheck every week/month. These guys don't know if they're going to get paid or not.
