My personal opinion is that pro tournament fishing takes the pleasure out of catching fish and makes fishing seem more like work. It is the primary reason I have no interest in fishing on a pro level.

BTW - I came real close to getting killed down at Lake of the Ozarks this Spring during NE Fed tournament, having bass boats bump hulls at 50 mph is realy spooky, especially when the nose of the other boat came over the front deck of the boat I was a passenger in. ;\)
