I think its a tricky question with two valid sides to the argument..

On the one hand , if you win the tournament , you want to feel like you beat everyone , even the best of the commercials. On the other hand , if you are really a commercial fisherman , I would think you would take yourself out of tournaments do to the unfair edge you have over the recreational guys.

The heavyweight boxing champ can't go to the local boy's club and enter a boxing tournament. People would think that a pro boxer entering an amatuer tournament would be wrong and perhaps simple greed on the part of the heavyweight champ. In a way , i view a guy who makes money off fishing as the heavyweight champ. he doesn't belong in a tournament with ammatuers.

So there's tow sides to the story. Personally , I don't care who enters tournaments or who wins. Its not why I participate.
