I recently watched a great video by Winning Ways where they talked about sponsorship. They talk about the good and bad things and you can find a link to the video here. What they cover is that all these sponsored anglers have worked hard to get where they are. People have quit their day jobs and taken risks to be where they are.
I decided to put together this list of all the sponsored match anglers I could find.

How much do sponsored anglers make?
Sponsored anglers are not actually not paid as much as you think. They will supplement their income by hopefully winning big matches and by offering fishing coaching.
