...and you guys shoulda heard the comments when I showed them the Zaldain video of the electronics setups for the Bassmasters Elites, can't post some of that language here  Some people in the industry need to take a 1000 foot view. All I hear is you're too technologically challenged or too broke to afford it. Thats pretty much the only group crying about it.

Heck even I thought some of those set ups were ridiculous and I am all for FFS. I like the toys!

Every “casual” fisherman I’ve shown or explained FFS to have said one of two things… that’s cheating, or that’s not fishing.
I’m not an FFS hater at all, really enjoying learning it. The hunting references were funny. It’s like taking a thermal scope out at night and shooting bedding animal 1/4 mile back in the woods from the cab of your truck. Straight sniping!

I don't care one way or the other, but I don't think it is cheating. No more than a hunter using a scope on his rifle. Have you ever used GPS, lake maps or 2D, SI or DI sonar? exactly, how is ffs any different than si or di tech? all 3 will show you fish the trick is to catch those fish, good luck with that. I have it and don't consider it cheating any more than having si/di since all 3 show about the same thing.

Tournament fishing is a tiny percentage of fishing....it's a public resource though....so sooner or later, if the wrong people get pisses off, you never know what could happen....I personally think Tournament fees that are substantial should be paid for these things.....and any other Tournament of more than 20 boats should require a permit by the county......guide license is a joke and it's a grossly oversaturated deal on these public resources....wish that license required a 1000 $ fee and insurance of 250k..... FFS is just a symptom....our society is driven by shortcuts and instant gratification.... go watch a high school Tournament..... can't even compete without be able to spend considerable money....so, it's just that, driven by money..... makes me want to throw up Yeah, that will fix it, more government regulations. SMH Yep more government regulations........

All these casual and non-anglers weighing in makes me wonder. Since when does anyone care WHAT they think? Most of them would tell you it’s insane to have more than 2 rods, throw back fish instead of frying them up, or cheating to use side-scan and scent infused baits like power worms.
Since when are they the great deciders?

It’s not cheating the competition but it’s cheating the sport. There’s a reason why the elite fields keep getting younger. It used to take years to learn to pattern and predict fish. Not anymore.
And if Deer hunting was a competitive sport with a league, then I would say get rid of baiting, high fences, and game cameras for them. The rest can use it as they see fit. But it’s also cheating the sport.
