I agree with John about the commercial fisherman advantage from a numbers standpoint. However, I believe thier greatest advantage is from another perspective, and that is the knowledge they have of where the fish are located on a day to day basis, not only as it relates the size of a school of fish that is being fished by the com guys, but the size of the fish taken as well. Very few chat up each other, but thier are certain people who let other certain people know where they are catching, because they are buddies on and off the water. Some boats while they dont share profit do fish in tandem, and watch out for each other in many many other ways.
Some of the guys I know that fish commercially could care less about a tournament, and do not enter any.

I really don't understand the why guys in boats do not want to fish against the com guys..
Look at it this way u still have a 2 fish per day limit..
u know to even get a mention ur gonna have to get one in the mid forties..
So u get one 46 lbs it goes in the cooler.an u fish for a bigger one..
U should all be ashamed of urselves as MEN..
I hear these cry's of time on the water an amount of fish it all means crap.'
Do u wanna beat the best to be the best or do u wanna play on some kinda fishing for the time impaired/skill level impaired curve..
.

Here is a god example for u cry baby's look at kenny Cow Hunter..
Surf guy for a few yrs has lots of drive gets a boat spends lots of time honin his craft an the guy consistantly gets big fish..
All in the time frame of a few yrs really..
He's from NJ.Thats why he's good..
It ain't a spot thing it's technique..
He can fish with most anyone in the waters that stripers swim..
Suck it up..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
