Answer 1

If it is your profession you are getting paid for it.  To be a professional take experience.  Love honey

In my opinion, if 50% (or more) of your annual income comes from sponsorship moneys or tournament "Win" moneys you could consider yourself a "Pro" fisherman.

Answer 10

   I fish tournaments but I am not a proffesional... Yet.

The tournaments I fish a local club tournaments. At the end of the year our best 6 members overall will go to a state tournament.The winners from this tournament goes on to a regional. By the time you go to a regional tournament you can begin to consider yourself a rookie fisherman. The winner of regional tournaments can participate in a large sponsored tournament such as B.A.S.S. or F.L.W.

  once you get up to this level and can place high in a big tourney then you can start considering yourself a proffesional.

  here's a website that will give you more info on how to get up there and who's who in the world of sport fishing.
