What is a "pro" fisherman anyway. I have made $1000's of dollars fishing tournaments.  I have a few sponsors.  I do not consider myself a "pro" fisherman though.  Others will answer your question, I just want to know what is a "pro"

Getting paid to do something is my definition of a pro.

 

I've won a few dollars I'm a pro too! :D

I would consider someone a pro if their primary income comes from fishing. This could mean tournament fishermen or commercial fishermen.

Google's definition of a professional - a person engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as a pastime. Sorry all you tournament guys who have won some money fishing tournaments. If it's not your career, you aren't a pro. 

 

To ad to the post, I know Scott Martin has made some posts, but I'm not sure if it's actually him or if it's someone who is doing it for him.

Ive seen Ike post here, and even though they're not pro's, you can see Mattlures,  Bobby Megastrike, Big O and other lure designers/manufacturers. Great sources of info.

Mike D. From lunkerville is a pro by googles standards. He's every man's pro. He's on here.

There are many ways the word 'Pro' can be interpreted.

 

These are two ways that are commonly brought up.

1. 'Pro' is short for the word 'Professional' which implies those who hold an occupation as a fisherman are considered as 'Pros'.

2. Today's usage of 'Pro' is stretched these days. Now, those who excel in fishing can also be considered as 'Pros'.

 

It's up to you how you interpret 'Pro' as. :)

I know some pros. They get a 10% discount on tackle. Lol.

I'd say by "pro" most mean either a working guide or competitive fisherman that derives the majority of their income from either. There's a few well known guides, and and a handful of guys that compete at the top levels on this site.
