[QUOTE="redbug, post: 7036, member: 71"] reason not to be a pro? I have no kids and my wife travels to all my tournaments with me now. the 55k in entry fees would suck but I would hope to get a sponsor to cover that. I have talked with several pros over the years and found that catching fish is not that important they make most of the money from doing fishing shows. All that being said, the only drawback I can see would be getting you butt kicked by your girlfriend or wife: Velvick alleged victim 11/24/2007 Several news outlets, including the Associated Press, are reporting that pro Byron Velvick is the likely victim of a domestic abuse case. Reportedly, his longtime companion Mary Delgado was arrested Wednesday morning for assaulting her fiancé. Her fiancé is presumed to be Velvick. The two met in front of a national audience on TVs The Bachelor, and fished together this year and last in the Bassmaster Elite Series – Velvick as a pro and Delgado as a co-angler. Sources quoting the arrest affidavit report that Delgado allegedly punched her fiancé and cut his upper lip. The same sources report Delgado was arrested in Florida's Pinellas County, charged with misdemeanor domestic battery, then released on her own recognizance, and that alcohol was a factor.
