Favorite TV Angler?

I think Hank was my favorite as well. I also wish I could fish for a living! I am working on it, but not the easiest process

Goldeneagle, It is never too late to start tournament fishing! I started just about 4 years ago now and although I don't get to enter tournaments as often as I like I still enter quite a few local ones each year. I don't know what part of the country you are in but I live in south west Arkansas. I do quite a bit of my fishing in Texas. Sealy Outdoors and McDonalds sponsors three huge tournaments each year, one at Sam Rayburn reservoir and one at Toledo Bend reservoir and one at Lake Fork. These are ameteur only tournaments and are really high paying. They have hourly payouts for ten places starting at $1000 down to $200 and these are guarateed! Each of these tournaments go for three days and the top weight single bass for the entire 3 days wins a prize package in excess of $100,000. If you are close enough to Texas and would like to check out the tournaments you can go to this address: www.sealyoutdoors.com One more tournament/semi-pro thing. The FLW and B.A.S.S. both have weekend fishermen tournaments. In these tournaments you dont even have to have a boat! You can enter the non-boater side of the tournament and fish with a boater entrant for as little as $100 and the payout is pretty good also.
