Randall Tharp wrote a great article. I'm sure we all know someone who thinks they're a professional but really isn't. A professional is someone who makes a living off what they do. If you don't make a living off fishing, you're not a professional fisherman. Just my two cents. Feel free to discuss below.

      I have one sponsor and that is PowerPole. And Randall's article was about conducting yourself in a professional way, not about the difference between real and ...more fake pros.

      @atxflyfishing agree. I choose not to fish with those types of people though.

      @MagicYaker I don't really care either until they start to think they're above other fishermen because they have a sponsor or 2 and think they're a pro

      I say let them do what they want and don't judge. We see the real pros doing what they gotta do and learn from them. Someone saying "im a pro" does ...more nothing for me.

      Agreed. I think people now a days are to worried about getting big sponsors and free stuff.

      So true and @atxflyfishing is right there are some people who think that if they can catch 1 big fish than they are a pro
