One reason is so your non boater on day two cannot take you to the fish that his boater on day one was on. Pros are expected to find their own fish. It is part of being a pro.

The rule is actually in effect for a long period before the tournament begins. This prevents the pro from seeking out local guides or local pros and getting information about what the fish are doing anytime near the tournament time from them. It levels the playing field.
