Ahhhh…but what about those that want to be good at both!! Such a novel idea.

I am not afraid to say that Uncle Randy is a wealth of info. One of a few who really give allot of info to the fishing community, and a tremendous amount of tips that work. I also have "Cheatscope" on the boat, and it's frickin amazing technology. I think the next couple of waves will be something with higher resolution ( maybe 3D), with more detail. But It is hard to listen to the same old broken record that he keeps playing. I almost feel he has gone down the path so far, he might end up stuck "in time". If you refuse to advance in tech your only hurting yourself when it comes to competition. I don't think it's fair to all high school anglers to fish against someone using LiveScope. I specifically use mine to pattern, then I have to turn it off and do my job. The LiveScope is on when I'm dialing in a pattern, and the 360 stays on when I'm running the pattern. Right now I'm up against the bank so close, neither is used. I'm casting down the bank and the bait is staying in the "juice" all the way back to the boat. Now I know the area I'm fishing so there is no surprises, but on a new lake I prob wouldn't do this. I miss the "old randy", and almost feel like he is going to start saying something like (SAVE THE FIREANTS!). Time will tell and I still watch videos from him, but I turn it off if he starts talking about FFS. I know he will prob never change his mind, but he still is "good people". Anyone who helps other anglers, and spreads the knowledge is good. Would love to sit down and chew the fat with him and play the 20 questions game. Having spent so much time fishing tournaments, and being around the old timers is fascinating.

Feed the troll!!!

He is right to some extent. Really don't understand the hate.

If you have never read Bass Wars, I highly recommend you do. Randy B is one of the featured anglers in the book. He did an interview 25 years after the book came out that is very telling about his mindset. In it he says:




Here's the link: https://bass-archives.com/more-bass-wars/

He is complaining about the thing that made him his living, tournaments.

Typical liberal mentality, "what is good for me is not good for he".

STAY STRONG RANDY!!!!💪

(That was done in my best “yell at clouds old guy” impression)

Thanks for the link. Read the book several times and enjoyed it. Need a follow up or two.

Remember when Randy said he'd be fishing out of a Ranger tin boat to show people that you can compete on a professional level without needing a $70k+ glass boat? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Be a lot cooler if it was!

I use to be a subscriber to his channel. I found myself agreeing with him on only about 50% of issues but enjoyed his take on lure modifications and presentations. Lately his live scope tirade has become more than I can stomach so I unsubscribed to his channel. I tune into fishing channels for positivity, not negativity and it seems like a majority of his videos lately have been more about what is wrong with fishing rather than what is right about fishing. I have even made a few comments to him about the direction his channel was headed but it fell on deaf ears.

Randy B. complained about tackle costing too much before Magabass became his sponsor. Now he promotes expensive baits. He even has a video where he says to use 5 Vision 110't on an A-rig. He complained about fiberglass boats costing too much until he was sponsered by Skeeter. Randy complains too much unless someone helps him out because his career as a pro hasn't been all that good compaired to others.

Have said it before and I’ll say it again. He’s the most miserable person on all of YouTube.

I don’t follow him but he is getting a lot of internet buzz here and elsewhere. So is it just for clicks? Or is he trying to get one of the big three to notice and enlighten him with some sort of financial gain to (educate) him and have him change his stance on FFS? As with the boat and bait companies mentioned in prior posts?? He may make more of the clicks these days I don’t know! But the rants I’ve seen posted on here about how we are ruining the fisheries while he is on his way to his next tournament or driving home from the last one he sucked at is annoying as hell!
