Guide or Tournament Fisherman?

Should a guide be a tournament proven fisherman or just good at his home waters? I have asked many guide clients and it seems that the answer is most people want a Guide that can teach them something about fishing.
If that is the case then wouldn't the guides tournament resume be more important than his latest catch photos on his home lake?
What about a guide that has never won a dime other than his home lake. Can he teach you anything other than where there are a few fish biting on his home water?
I believe that a real fisherman can catch fish in places other than his home waters. Maybe without his brushpiles and definitely under the pressure of fishing for money!

Next time you are thinking about a guide trip I suggest that if you want to learn from a pro then check out his stats and tournament history. It is very easy to do,
