Why would anyone pile on you? You aren’t crying about the cost of baits and then promoting the most expensive brand made with $25 jerkbaits & $10 rubber skirted jigs with your name on them. You weren’t crying about the cost of boats and how unnecessary a fiberglass boat was and the second Skeeter threw a deal to them, they took it and never talked about the high cost of boats again. You weren’t the one crying about livescope and then went out and bought one, couldn’t understand it, then sold it and made 100 videos on how it’s “unfair”. Unless you’re really Randy, then we can pile on you!

No grout-scout I'm definitely not Randy, but in this day and time when you don't run with the popular narrative, people love to attack .Great points you made above ,can't argue with those. You win

Depression and fishing are two words I don’t associate with each other, kind of a oxymoron imo

Well, if you're always catching them with FFS like the pros state, wouldn't it get boring and mundane to be looking down all the time instead of experiencing nature at it's finest?

I have never once showed up to a ramp and said "oh man, they have LS, I think I will bow out". It has been my experience that guys who were good before, are still good, and the ones who weren't, still aren't. I don't feel like I am missing out on anything not having LS on my boat. 360 benefits me way more than LS ever would. Some people will get dependent on it, and that is sad. Part of the reason to fish is the enjoyment of our surroundings, unfortunately we are losing that aspect with the "look at me" ego that has inhabited the sport. I think it is a shame our youth are being taught less about the enjoyment of the sport and outdoors, and more about the business side of fishing, but I guess that is just the way it is going to be. Totally agree couldn’t have said it better.

Yeah, he said professional bass anglers can't make a living unless they have a side gig. One was a presence on social media and clicks. That's why he produces content most every day and sometime twice a day. When I listen to his tournament practice videos and the tournament results I almost feel sorry for him as his results are mostly dismal. And that's always after a long drive away from Missouri. When he went to Lake Hartwell and complained that the tournament would be won by LiveScopers finding fish and brush on points, I suggested he go out on the points with down imaging and find and mark some brush piles. I guess he didn't do it. Well I’ll say one thing for Randy he just got a new skeeter what did you get?

I saw one of Randys video's where he was driving to a tournament and was complaining about too many people on the water during a pro tournament. He thinks that no one should be allowed to fish on a lake that has a pro tournament on it unless you are a pro fishing the tournament. He complains about everything. I quit watching all his videos after that.

I have and use the Humminbird 360 and I have a Garmin Panoptics LS. The LS is not my deal its so frustrating to use so I rarely turn it on. After 2 hours of looking at the screen I just turn it off and go fish. I've seen it work a few times but just a few. The real deal is the 360 its the best electronic tool I have on the boat besides my phone.

I beg to differ on bank beaters not being able to compete anyone, actually the bank should be getting better because of the decrease in fishing pressure but only time will tell. If I was a lot younger and fished more tournaments I might get one but hell I don't even have Power Poles. Like John Cox said LS shows you all the fish you aren't catching. lol

I agree with the subject line "Livescope Depression" only because i have livescope and have had it for a good while and still have a hard time catching them. Has it made me a better fisherman... not how i fish. Has it helped me eliminate water during a tournament. 100%. Thats more of how i use it where i fish. I can almost bet i have caught myself going down the rabbit hole of trying to catch fish under a dock and spending way too much time mostly because of livescope. Its kind of a double edge sword but i sure like THINKING im about to catch one because of livescope than the pre livescope days. Just because you have livescope, doesnt mean you will catch them. You still have to put in the time on water. Randy reminds me of the employees that have worked for a company for so long and when new technology comes out software, or system for their job, they get all pissed off and complain. Instead of embracing technology, he tries to fight it.
