Time on the water is what you makes you proficient with FFS. Period. Yea you can watch someone do it.... that information is free on YouTube and miliken who could probably run circles around JJ has many videos where he has the screen mirrored and you see everything. Its how I learned. If you feel like watching it in person go pay your 2k. But at the end of the day its time behind the screen thats going to get you good at it. Not hiring JJ. This^^ There are no short-cuts when trying to get proficient at something. You can get the same guidance from YouTube for much less money. The only real way to be good is to practice. Too many guys want a fool-proof shortcut and there isn't one. You can never be as good as the guy who learns by doing. There is no substitute for time on the water. The guys doing electronic trips are catering to the fisherman's ego and stupidity by telling them they have all this secret knowledge about FFS. It's all smoke and mirrors to get you to pay $2,000. Go out for yourself. Learn it yourself. That is the only real way to get good at it. I have had mine now for 4 trips and have learned infinitely more each time due to the fact that I make it my sole purpose. Going out for 8 hours with jones, or anybody for that matter, is not enough time to become great (or even good) at anything.

The kid was on Lake J. B. Thomas between Big Spring and Snyder Think you're right. Kid got a 48 pound sack that day! Impressive and a day he and his father will never forget.

Those fish are absolutely on JB Thomas There is no other lake in West Texas that looks like that or is producing like that. I could be wrong but I fish Thomas a lot and cannot place where that house is not too far from the shore in the 10# video. And there are no houses where these guys are fishing 99% of the time. Only buoys I, aware of on that lake are right by the launch as well. Pretty sure there isn’t a house in view of the launch. I doubt the man would outright lie knowing anyone could have seen him at Thomas.

I’m gonna go with JBT, nasty water and good fish. At least till the circus ruins it too. I was just saying that. I personally could give 2 craps where he's fishing. Like I've said in the past about him, he catches good fish, yes. But he's dishonest and lies more than he post honest post, then when someone calls him out on it he blocks them. That's a JOKE in my book.

I really haven't paid any attention to him other than his fishing accomplishments.

Heck, he's recycling old videos of some of his catches on facebook and trying to make it look like it just happened. Amazing how many gullable huggers he has.
