Hensler, I never have fished a pro level event, biggest thing I have fished was a BFL on the boater's side on the James river, oh yeh, I finished 6th that day. Anyway, I would not want to fish that level, I know Chris Daves very well, and he is always on the road from Jan to Nov. In fact, he is leaving tomorrow to go to Alabama for an FLW Series event, he was just there practicing and now he has to go back!! too much travel!! Not enough payback unless you finish in the top 10.
