What PRO Anglers Don’t tell you about the Reality of TOURNAMENT Fishing
What’s the real story behind tournament bass fishing in 2025? In this eye-opening interview, I sit down with Major League Fishing pro @jacobwallfishing on Lake Guntersville to talk about the side of pro fishing most people never see. We cover the real cost of competing, the struggles with sponsorship, and how tournament anglers are adapting to survive in a changing fishing industry. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly takes to fish full-time or considered chasing the dream of becoming a pro angler, this video is a must-watch. This is the truth about professional bass fishing — unfiltered, raw, and real. #TournamentFishing #BassFishing #MLF #LakeGuntersville #bassfishingtips #BassTournaments #FishingLife #majorleaguefishing
