At first I thought it was for clicks- but the guy is very passionate about his opinions- and the YouTube comments- about half of them are as nutty as Randy is, he is like a Demi-god to the yells at the cloud crowd.

The more Uncle Randy talks about FFS, the more it sounds like he's just butthurt that the olds can no longer gatekeep bass fishing success. He keeps saying people who use FFS are "degrading" the "mystery of bass fishing from the therapeutic point of view." I think this man has completely lost his marbles. I dislike FFS and don't plan on owning it. It's one of the reasons I ended up not pursuing more local tournaments since it feels like it's almost a requirement if you want to actually compete.

If you know your local water well, I don’t think FFS is as much of a “must have” there are still plenty of fish to be had on all your regular spots. You should consider fishing your local waters without. Heck, most people with FFS self admit they don’t know how to use it anyway. I don’t tune into Randy, and only recently learned of him, that said, it’s commendable that he has stood his ground and “fought” for what he thinks is right. I’ve listened to both sides of the argument around FFS. At the end of the day, I respect the skills of those that have had success without FFS.

I'm newer to the area, so I don't know the waters nearly as well as people who have grown up fishing here. I think FFS gives a clear advantage to all anglers, especially those fishing offshore. Seems like most tournaments (minus those during the spawn) are won offshore using FFS.

That’s where the argument with Randy falls short- he has been on a multi year drought, rarely ever did he cash a check in a tournament in the last 10 years before FFS existed, but he wants to act like it’s hurting those that don’t use it.

That’s fair. But I think he’s also convinced many people they can’t be successful without FFS. Many FFS masters say one benefit of FFS is it levels the playing field between a local and a guest at a tournament. There are still plenty of hard sports, ledges, humps, better than average brush piles, not obvious stuff, etc that take time to find. If you’re a local and have learned your lake, you can compete with those running FFS. If you choose not to, that’s one thing, but I don’t think locals should be deterred from fishing local water without.

Had it on my old Ranger and negotiated a sale price with it included I havent replaced it and now wont fish in local tournaments as it is absolutely required to compete. Great product for crappie fishermen, but I agree with moat of what Randy says.
