I can guarantee 100% he would beat you like a dirty rug in the 1800s with FFS. They are all really really good at it. Hell Milliken is one of the best in the world. Why didn't he win every tournament this year? It doesn't matter if your the best or worst, you still have to find the winning fish and manage them for 4 days.

There are two, ones on the Elites series, the other who has been at the Tour level a bit longer is on the BPT.

many cannot control their bowels and are not able to "perform" any longer, that is probably why they are mad all the time

Lol 100 percent they are big mad.

Lol the man was AOY just a couple years ago...

I once loved watching bass fishing tournaments. Loved it. Kept up with all the guys and who was who and what they used and what they were good at... I turn it on now and hate it. Can't stand it. I don't like watching guys stare at their giant screens all the time, i don't care how many large fish they catch doing so. It sucks. I am 100% on board with Clark. Maybe FFS has brought in a whole new generation of fishermen into the sport, that really prefer video games over fishing, but i don't like it. It is not a sport.

I agree with some comments that were made earlier in the thread that the sponsors are going to dictate what is allowed and what isn't and I agree with that to some extent. However, maybe ratings are required for sponsors to justify their expenditures. I would think anyways. Guys like me aren't going to watch it anymore. But if 2 young guys who love it replace me as a viewer, then it isn't going anywhere... no matter how many old guys hate it.

I still feel the person who lives on a lake for decades and fishes that lake for competition has the biggest advantage of anyone, but that is just they way it is. Kind of like basketball, when a team has a 7 foot 6 inch player-- you still play the game to win even though they "may" have a clear advantage. I can see both sides of this debate, but professionally I don't agree with imposing limitations. On a local event, however, when everyone may not have access to the high end equipment, I can see why you might have rules on what equipment is acceptable with your event to perhaps level the playing field. No simple clear solution that will make everyone happy. Even if everyone was given the equipment, there is still a steep learning curve in order to take advantage of this equipment. I never was able to master the flasher Lowrance green box.

You can't say the same negative statements were made when the original flasher came out. If you are that old, you know there was no real competitive bass fishing. I'm calling BS on that one.

At 66 years of age I guess I'm considered an olds. I did start wearing NB when I was 32 because of 3 back surgery's. Anyway, I don't care either way. I went on a crappie trip with Slewfoot. I had never used live scope or really knew much about it. But I loved it. It was in Jan on Lake of the Pines. You had to keep your first 25 fish. It allowed us to catch the nicer size fish. I actually had a blast using and watching it. I don't think it will be banned by Bass or FLW or MLF. Sponsor money helps pay to many bills. Me, I just love fishing period. I'm going to watch and keep up with it either way. Yall do make it an interesting subject though. Between all the bitching and disagreements.

I wish I had it. If it ever gets any cheaper maybe Ican afford it but if I was trying to make a living fishing Iwould for sure have it. If you didn’t it would be like driving a Honda Civic in a NASCAR race you wouldn’t have much chance to win.


I fish on the edge and stay out of the middle

Ok compare his weights from them to now- it’s obvious he isn’t as good as he once was- that’s not a knock, just reality. If he is still catching the same weights his argument at least has a point, still not a great one but at least a point.

Do they catch the fish in the screen or with a lure in the water?
