Guys have side scan and livescope still can't catch 12lbs. Guys that were catching them without it are catching them with it...

several years ago a buddy and I fished 3-4 days in the spring on Amistad and it was some of the most interesting fishing I've ever done...water was gin clear and bass were in middle of the spawn (and yes bass do spawn 20 feet deep if water is clear)...the interesting part was we could ease down a bank for 100 yards and not see a fish then the next 100 yards there would be a fish or two every ten yards...
the reason I mention this is that there would be no discernable difference in a stretch of bank without fish and a bank loaded with fish...my buddy and I both wondered how many stretches of fishless banks we had fished in not so clear lakes....
fast forward 20 years and both ott defoe and hank cherry just won big tournaments with fish they were able "find and see" with their electronics....
I retired from fishing tournys a few years ago but I'm told that except for spring spawn time,most of the tournament winners on Eufaula are guys who fish offshore ledges/brushpiles and they don't make a cast until they see active fish...
is tournament fishing going to turn into who has the best electronics? or maybe skill at reading electronics will replace years of fishing experience?

Who's gonna have the first "no electronics" tourney,

never thought they would have banned the "A-Rig" either...….
