Pro bass fishing question

[RUGER]

I thought of this while I was watching the MLF Saturday evening.

A pro that travels all over the country fishing tournaments.... do they have to buy a fishing license for every state they fish in?
I didn't know if the big tournaments made them exempt or what.

Yep.. they have to buy them everywhere. I heard them talk about it on a podcast a little while back. They said at some tournaments they have to buy multiple licenses.

 

[WTM]

yeah, its all part of that $80k a year expense money they have to spend, give or take a few thousand.

 

[Westtnduckhtr]

No only have to buy licenses but
pay taxes in the states they win
money in.

 

[Jmed]

yes they do. I recall watching Fred Roumbanis get stopped and checked by a Warden during a MLF event.
