I don't think there is any question this is the best, and I agree it's a good thing. Be real interesting to see what established big names buckle down and adapt and which ones retire. If we are going to call bass fishing a "sport" this is the way it has to be (MLF SHOULD TAKE NOTE!). BASS has become the organization of youth and young talent real fast. It's amazing how good these rookies are with livescope. I don't think most appreciate the time commitment and work that goes into getting that good with this technology.

They definitely seem one dimensional .. fortunately that is the only dimension needed

How do you know that? I reckon they can chunk a spinnerbait down the bank like any seasoned vet can.

About the only thing all of them have in common is they KNOW HOW TO USE their electronics. They threw jigs, worms, hard baits, bladed baits. Shallow, deep, medium, grass, timber…….

Sounds one dimensional to me! roflmao

It wasnt meant as disrespectful towards them, i do see how it came off that way - it was actually intended to be more of a compliment. Professional bass is fishing is in the LiveScope era. Whoever is best at it will win. They are doing what they should .. maybe we disagree about livescope being a dimension? probably some truth to that. I think Davy said on live, its not just another tool if its the only tool

Did you watch the kid skipping into the underbrush and docks? These kids started fishing before FFS was a thing.

These haters are so ignorant, he weighed a few fish on a jig and wacky worm. The pillow biters just want to complain

To be fair, he was scoping under the dock though. peep

For anyone on the tour now I would be concerned about longevity. Now that it doesn’t take years to build the knowledge base of lakes on the tour it seems like there will always be challengers that learned the tech a little better or can afford more tech.

Any of the pro FFS posting here have a monetary investment for financial stake in Hummingbird/Lowrance/Garmin? Some of these posts are making me wonder. It does seem the professional crowd against it is growing significantly lately.

The best of the bunch may end up being Logan Parks. He’s half of the team that won a million dollars in that bass pro shops team tournament a couple years ago.

Well for years the pros made a living on getting knowledge from the locals so let’s not act like they figured it all out.

I’d have to check my 401k to see but I doubt I have anything to gain.
