Answer
There are a few clubs and associations where supposedly "free" gear is given to a selected few at random folks who belong to them, the American Sportsman Club is one that I know of. However the cost to membership to these clubs exceeds the value of any free gear you get so the deal is actually a scam to get you to join.
Another is the annual give aways from Bass pro shops, Cabela's and so on. These are of course used to drum up sales and gather personal info and your chances of winning anything are equivalent to winning the lottery. Good luck with that.
Your best option is as others posted get a job and shop for used gear if you cannot afford quality new gear.

how much are average yearly expenses for pro / semi-pro bass fisherman angler usa?

Thanks for answers below. Fishing as pro or trying to become pro i'm assuming fishing as much as possible is key hence only accommodation expense required would be lodging at whatever lake u fishing/practicing at. What is the cheapest form of lodging? Are there campsites at most lakes and approx how much are camping fees per night?
Answer
Depends on what circuit your fishing and how far away the tournaments are.
All expenses vary greatly depending on these factors:
#1. Gas- Have you seen prices for gas lately? Getting to and from the tournament AND gas for your boat can get extremely expensive. On a typical tournament day it's relatively easy to burn $80-$100 in your boat alone- again, depending on WHERE/WHAT lake/river your fishing.
#2. Lodging- Some guys can bunk in the back, (or front) of their truck or in a tent and be OK. Some guys stay with family or nearby friends. Some guys get a cheap motel room. SOME guys can afford the luxury of a hotel room. Which are you? Prices vary from "free" (you still need to be able to charge your boat batteries every night) to $120-$150 a night.
#3. Tackle, rods/reels, Etc- In a $10,000 - $50,000 tournament you'd be stupid not to have (at least) a spare rod/reel outfit for every single outfit you have onboard. SO, figure 10-15 outfit's. (And not "cheap" outfit's; at least mid-grade) Tackle??? Again, depends on where you are and what time of the season you'll be competing. Typically, I spend anywhere from $1000 to $1500 a year on various tackle- and I'm only fishing 6-7 small club tournaments and (maybe) a regional T's.
#4. Pre-fishing- You absolutely won't want to compete in a serious tournament without 5-7 days of pre-fish, (more if you can afford it!). This gets EXPENSIVE! Figure in your gas, lodging, possible tackle losses, Etc. On average, I spend around $120-$175 for 1 pre-fish day, 8-10 hours long, 100-150 miles away - and thats WITHOUT lodging or possible tackle issues. What is $175 X 5????????
#5. Entry fee's- Entry fee's can be fairly low- ($150)- to expensive- ($350 to $1500 PLUS) In many cases you must send in a portion of your entry fee well before the tournament. Have you got $150-$300 laying around to invest in a tournament happening 2-3 months out?
#6. (Forgot to add this one) Boat and average UP-KEEP- Boats are HOLES in the water you poor money into. A tournament boat is no different. The more you use your boat the more money you have to spend to keep it running correctly. If you don't keep your boat (and TRUCK) in good condition it will bite you in the @ss at a later date. (PRO'S lose tourneys because of boating issues!!) This expense can be VERY expensive or not- depending on what type of boat you have and how much you "dog it".
Bottom-line??? DON'T start fishing a circuit until you've got quite a bit of experience under your belt. Try fishing local Club tourneys and nearby mid-level tournaments and seeing how well you do before busting out into circuit fishing where your driving 400 miles plus (one way) to fish.
If you treat tournament fishing like a "growing business" you'll be fine, if you (stupidly) step up to the plate ill-prepared you will lose, (period).
Hope this helps?
UPDATE: Yes, most tournament lakes will have campsites nearby- but, "nearby" could be 25 miles (or more) from the launch site. It depends on where you are.
Camping fee's generally range from $25-$30 a night. However, realize, you will NEED a campsite that has electric- you must charge your boat batteries every night. ( Other option? You could use a gas generator and get a wilderness campsite)
You sound completely new to Bass T fishing??? I suggest you start in a club atmosphere. If you can't place 1st or 2nd (during the whole season) in a local Bass club you'd be foolish to try to fish anything larger.
