Question

I have read that large mouth bass fishing expenditure exceeds that of golf and tennis combined...is this true?

Answer 1

Completely fulfilling i dont know tennis try Kenya coast, Mombasa you will sweat and still catch something.

Answer 2

Well if you went all out and buy:

Boat and all the accessories

Graphite pole, reel, and lures

tralier and vehicle to tow

enough beer to last the trip

I would think it would be. Heck, just the beer would cost $1000..lol

Answer 3

You can spend as little or as much as you want.  A good rod and reel, some spinner baits, crankbaits, a buzzbait, and some plastic worms will cost you less than a set of clubs.  Plus, you don't have to pay $40 to fish each time!  I, on the other hand, have also spent thousands on it, so you are right!

Answer 4

Boat, fishing equipment, tackle, ETC ETC. Yeah, I've probably spent near $50,000 on fishing over my lifetime.

DANG! If I could have that $50,000 NOW I could take a great fishing trip to the Keys, It would be aweso......................................

Answer 5

You were pretty much reading the truth. Actually largemouth,smallmouth, and spotted bass is what these people are fishing for and the money spent is in the billions and just keeps increasing. They have like a superbowl of bass fishing that the winner takes home $500,000.00 their are two FLW Championship and the Bassmasters Classic. To keep up with the pro's it would cost aprox. $100,000.00 , new boat 50,000,new tow vech 30,000 and up, rods and reels $200 and up apiece, plus fuel,food,clothing,hotel exp.,Tournment entries,and tackle expense. The upfront cost is quite a bit more I would say. Also you just don't go home every week after fishing these tournments you have to head for the next one and pratice. Fishing as a pro you would have to be away from home aprox. 300 days a year depending on your schedule. Their are cheaper ways like the BFL and the Bassmasters weekend series and you still have a chance to win up to $7,500.00 on at a one day tournment, but you still need a boat and all the stuff that goes with it doing that you can probably get started for aound 20,000 or less if you buy a used boat and some less expensive gear and tackle you can get some decent rods and reels for around a hundred dollars for a spinning reel and around 150.00 for a baitcaster, a used boat for 6,000 to what ever you want to spend, It's the initial investment that hurts, if you take care of you stuff it will last a long time.
