When you check the Angler Profiles for some of the folks in the classic that dont seem to be the fact. Was there or has there been a change in the rules. Trying to decide which circuit to fish with and if I wanted to compete against pro's I can fish one of the above mentioned ciruits.
You are correct, I read it just now on the USA Bassin website. I don't have any idea whos names you are talking about but it could be that they are non-boaters, which are allowed to fish the tourney trail. The only thing I think you could do is file a protest with USA Bassin. But if indeed these guys are breaking the rules, they need to be called out. It would not be fair to the "weekend angler" that the tourney trail caters to. I don't know if you had to fish the Classic to file a protest or not though.
