i saw elite series pro Bill Lowen fished the BFL out of Tanners and place 2nd. I know when i was in Texas the local guys didn't care for it when the "pros" came and fished the BFL's, Federation or some of the large independent circuits. In fact some of them had rules stating if they fished as a pro that paid out in an excess of a certain dollar amount then they couldn't participate

I'm indifferent about it but I'm sure Bill fishing just this one cost someone who fished the who series potential money or a trip to a regional...

I'm not sure if its right or wrong, what do you think.
