Turning pro on the fishing circuit

by Greta Cunningham, Minnesota Public Radio

As Minnesota anglers tried their luck on the lakes on fishing opener weekend, some may have dreamt of leaving their day jobs and becoming professionals on the fishing circuit. Chris Glaze is trying to make that dream come true. Glaze describes himself as a semi-professional bass fisherman, meaning he's out competing with the pros, but hasn't quit his day job yet. Glaze told MPR's Greta Cunningham he started professional fishing nine years ago after a friend encouraged him.
