Is pro bass fishing a tough sport?
In some ways it is the toughest sport, more so than traditional sports like baseball, basketball and even football. Competitors are exposed to the elements 100 percent of the time, and events are never called due to weather. Occasionally the start of a tournament day will be delayed due to fog, an electrical storm or wind (waves), but it’s extremely rare that a whole day will be canceled due to weather. If it’s 110 degrees and humid every day or if it pours rain every day, anglers compete. No rain delays, no domes, nothing. They play regardless of the conditions. Expose any other professional athlete to those conditions even without the need to catch fish, and they simply won’t be able to handle it.
