Brandon;
Thanks for your inquiry! I enjoyed reading your letter.
Becoming a Professional Bass Angler takes a lot of hard work;
requires a steady performance record, and continued winning results,
to be "noticed." From what you've just told us in your
letter; it looks as though you're started on the right track,
to do just that.
Since you've just joined a Bass Club; fish with them for at least
one season. If the Club is affiliated with your State BASS Federation;
you'll probably know by the end of that first year (without having
to be told by an outsider), if you have what it takes to advance
in the sport; by advancing as a member of your State's Federation
Team. You'll also be able to earn the chance to advance to professional
status, from within the Federation amateur ranks. It's really
a win/win situation; without having to part with all of your life's
savings.
Continue fishing in the local "Buddy" Tournaments, that
you're already familiar with. The experience, itself; (and the
paychecks from winning in them) can help you buy the major piece
of your fishing equipment, that you need so badly ~ your boat.
If your local fishing reputation continues to grow; local sponsors
will be looking for you; rather than you having to look for them.
Stay on good terms with them! Trust me; without local sponsors,
you won't go very far!
If your wallet is thick enough; think about joining one of next
years' national Pro-Circuits as a CO-Angler. As a CO-Angler on
a national circuit; becoming a recognizable amateur tour entrant,
by posting continued winning performances; can do a lot to help
speed you on your way.
As you can see, there are a lot of ways to advance in the sport!
The basic ability to catch fish, is just one of them. Learning
what to do, and when to do it; is an even bigger part of it.
Don't be in such a hurry to climb the ladder, that you fail to
climb each rung, in turn. Trying to do so, never fails to result
in a big fall.
Good luck this season! Remember this; fishing, is a lot like life:
KISS ~ MIF
Keep It Simple Stupid ~ Make It FUN!
Good Luck in your quest, and Good Fishin' !
Good Fishin'!
