Also, I should say I’m opposed to ffs 100%. I like many know people who sucked at catching fish start cashing checks routinely in local tournaments. They were always donators before, sorry if you suck at fishing without it.

This is great news! Using ffs in competitive bass fishing, and even recreational fishing, and believing that it is ethical sport, is an absolute joke. Let me guess you’ve never attempted to bass fish with it? Your guess is correct, and I don’t want it. I’ve never hunted over a feeder for deer, or used game cams. Always, hunted game trails, pulling hair off of barbed wire fences, to figure out when they’re crossing. I’m in the club of, ‘I just don’t want to know everything’, I love they chase, and the rewards that come with it. You do you. I can choose to hunt in a loin cloth with a hand carved recurve, hand carved arrows, and natural feather plumage for fletchings....but I don't.

The combination of banning FFS and the number of big name older pro's that will not re-qualify in their perspective circuits in the next year or two could end up being big for the NPFL. In two to three years there may be as many recognizable names in the NPFL as BASS or BPT. So it’ll be the senior tour sponsored by depends? You forgot New Balance

You can tell what time a deer crossed a fence by finding its hair? Do you put it in your mouth and get the temperature or how does that work?

Some tours will ban it. Some won't. People will have options on where they want to fish. Let the marketplace take it from there. Seems like things are playing out as they should to me.

Without livescope the vast majority will have multiple graphs up front, spot lock trolling motors, power poles, and 360 imaging- all while acting like they are the amish fishing tour…

They could just be honest about it and say: “it hurts my neck”, “it gives me vertigo/I get dizzy”, “I can’t understand it”.

You do gotta love the fact that they will use technology to upload their rant videos and content on social media platforms but then turn around and complain about technology.

I actually know an angler in the top 10 aoy. He can catch them with or without livecope but I believe he will find something else to fish. If BASS doesn’t ban it I fully expect to see him in elites soon. Good luck, the opens are gauntlet and lottery at the same time. BASS may have made it too difficult, they really need a farm league with a smaller field between the opens and elites.

Like it or not the new EQ Opens format is resulting in the best of the best to compete on the highest level. Two more years of a rookie class similar to this years and it'll easily be the strongest field ever. FFS or no FFS. If that turns people off to try to fish the Opens because they're "too difficult" those people aren't meant to fish on the Elites anyways.
