I saw the MLF guys all around Falls Lake and the area before they fished in Raleigh a few months ago, nobody paid them alot of mind. I have fished the FLW Tour and Costa as a co, the public doesnt treat these guys any different than anyone else. I am sure some of the ramps these guys use on the road are much worse than where you were at. To Joe Schlobotnick eating at Ruby Tuesdays or picking up some stuff at Walmart these pros are just regular people shopping, eating or whatever. If I saw a movie star or pro football player in public I wouldn't know who they were nor would I care.
