Gentlemen,

I want to raise a question here. How can I be recognized as a
professional angler? Is it something to do with certification or lGFA
tournament?


A professional angler, is someone who derives their living from fishing.

Nearly all golf courses have a professional golfer on staff, this guy
probably makes his living teaching golf, not winning PGA tournaments.

In fishing, most pro's are just good enough to get manufacturers, to pay
them to endorse their products, but their are many professional fishing
guides, that are true Pros, these guys have to be good to stay in business.

Some think the only real pros are those who regularly compete in BASS,
or FLW tournaments

Then you have guys like me, I get paid to go fish for fun :-)
