Pro-am tourny rule question

[Trophy]

I would like to know the reasoning why the "Pro" decides technique, and locations fished when the his Co-angler can basically sit, and watch. I don't know why the time, and technique is not divided equally between each guy in the boat. My complaint is that if you are stuck with a "Pro" who is not working a productive program or location the Co-angler is screwed. I was just wondering.

That's why it's called a pro/am format.He owns the boat,equipment and has spent his time pre-fishing which cancels a co-anglers right to decide where and how to fish.That's how the game is played.You'll know within the first hour if your screwed or not.I've always fish the co/am side and know how you feel.Keep quiet and fish harder!

It's not like the Co-angler is riding for free. All I'm saying is that if the "Pro" isn't getting it done, the Co-angler should be allowed to suggest an alternate location, and technique.

If they think they're that good they should enter as a Pro. Then they can call all of the shots.

The co is only along for the ride, or as you might say, a spoter for the pro. The tournament is not about the co-angler, it is about the pro. Can he put the proper program together to put the nessesary weight together to win the tournament. That is the bottom line. Hard facts, but true.
