Bass Fishing Tournaments

"Bass Fishing Tournaments","  The recent winner of the Bass Master Classic just took home $500,000.
  Isn't America a great place to live?  The top prize for fishing tournaments has grown tremendously for a couple of reasons, but the biggest reason is simply that many fishermen are interested in it and because of that interest, sponsors have been lining up like crazy.
  It's kind of amazing to see how many non-fishing related sponsors have lined up to support the sport of fishing.
  When bass fishermen see all of these sponsors supporting their favorite thing to do, it makes them want to support these companies.
  An example would be when I'm in the grocery store and I want a candy bar, I am more likely to buy a snickers bar because I know that they support the fishing community.
  These little purchases go a long way when you think of how many anglers are influenced by what they see on tv.


Hopefully that gives you a little insight of what sponsors have done for the sport of fishing.
  Most tournament bass fishermen are not extremely successful.
  Most of these tournament fishermen have normal jobs and they may guide on the side.
  If you get hot in the right tournament, you can find yourself winning $100,000 and landing a few sponsors.
  For everyone else, it's back to the day job and wishful thinking for the next tournament.
