Fragile egos in this sport.

It's all about building the brand!

Not so much as it is the need to be exposed on camera to help obtain and retain the anglers sponsorship. Sponsorship $$ has actually become less and less since covid and many have stopped sponsor $$ altogether !!

Fragile egos on this hobby you mean. Fat guys on boats aren’t athletes.

[AVG.JOE]

U obviously have never fished a 3 day tournament. By the time u get home u have fished at least a total of 5 days and u are flat worn out. If u don’t think it’s a sport it’s cause u are still bobber fishing with ur kids and have no idea!

[Bigdirty]

The guy working on a roof for 5 days is worn out to, doesn’t make him an athlete .

Fishing is a sport but does not require a person to be an athlete. You're the first one in this thread to refer to them as athletes. Fishing is more taxing than other sports that have so called "athletes".

[AVG.JOE]

Sumo wrestlers fat as ****-do u consider them athletes?
Big country/heavy weight fighter from UFC is pretty plump/athlete?
I could go on.
