The crowd that hates it is getting old. Lubys went out of business catering to the olds. The young people who are the future want it and they will get it. Nobody cares if old people watch or not. They are not a significant spend in the market place going forward. I miss me some Luby’s some times. Old school Grandy’s too! Now I am hungry for some chicken fried steak. double steak, double smashed taters, fried okra, 3 rolls and a sweet tea! Those were they days, RIP Grandy That was 4.99 on Sundays

And I don’t know about that not a significant spend thing either. The Glide baits and hard swim baits I keep buying say otherwise. But I’m cool with FFS too so I can still act young. It's a state of mind some here act 95

I don’t care what they use, I’m not fishing against them. Next year it will be something new and improved. Then 2 more years something new, the list goes on.
I think we have evolved from the Mann’s grape jelly worm, pistol grip rods and Zebco 33 reels.

A lot of elite anglers are starting to support limits on ffs. Imo they should ban it in professional events. Bass and BPT can sit the group down as say “ok guys, we are gong to ban FFS, as a result of lost sponsorship dollars we are going to raise your entry fees “X” amount of dollars, sound like a great idea?” That would go over like a fart in an elevator. You can always believe the fake viewership numbers being put out. Or just listen to the actual anglers say it themselves.? You do you.

Even with the great viewership numbers I'm betting there will be some changes. I think chances are high both leagues make some changes towards FFS in some manner.

60 somethings and 70 somethings have bought their last boat, they aren't buying new electronics, there isn't much money in grape worms or yellow spinnerbaits. They don't fish in the rain or the cold so no 1000 rain suits. Irrelevant viewer
you need to come ride in this "olds" boat, the one with the 300 on back, 3 garmins, ffs, force tm. damn whippersnappers!

So did I but we have to let it go..... it's time to sit in rocking chairs and watch lol LOL I was shocked the one in rockwall closed. It was always pretty busy. We went there a lot due to kids eat free days, and I'm not even 40 yet.

Limiting or doing away with technology is rather bush league.
Hopefully they will take a vote and let the ones that compete for each other's money decide what they want.
Supposedly its angler driven. Give them an A-rig & live bait too! Lol I think 1 sceen 1 transducer is fine for FFS. 8 screens & transducers on 1 boat is just over the top.
