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?

Appreciate your attentive reply.

If you can make a living at fishing is all that is required. Here in Maine
we consider Lobstermen and guides professional fishermen.
But I'm thinking that you have a jazzy bass boat covered with sponsor
stickers in mind.
Pretty much the road to having your own TV show and sponsors (The way I
understand it) Is done by starting locally in tournaments. I think a BASS
touney costs $100 per 2 man team to enter. or there are individual events
($50 for one man team). You need to have a live well, dead fish
penalty is culling your largest fish and keeping the dead one.
Boat insurance and day to fish.
Winning a few will get you recognized and theres apparently a limitless
number of tourneys and types that you can enter.
You might want to check the B.A.S.S. website or whatever group grabs your
interest. you probably don't need to be a member to join an event, but they
will list them or tell you where to go to find them.
