I received this from B.A.S.S. it estimates the cost of being in the elite series. For the top pros the sponsors probably pay the costs.

There are 108 slots on the Elite Series Trail.
Entry Fee is $55,000 per year
84 anglers re-qualify
Previous three years Anglers of the year
Previous two years Bassmaster Classic Champions
20 new ones will qualify through our Open Series
1 new one through the Federation Nation
So there is some turnover.
There are 11 events and you can figure $2500 per event for travel, hotels, meals and such ($27,500 - total).

Total cost to participate approximately $82,500 a year.
