It won't be long before the entire field basically turns over. As guys fall below 70 and have to go back to the opens they get replaced with more scopers and they won't be able to requalify because they can't beat the scopers. It won't be long before BASS loses every name they have had from a marketing stand point. They are gonna have to make some decisions going forward that are gonna be uncomfortable

They are gonna have to make some decisions going forward that are gonna be uncomfortable Well they’ve got 99 problems… the internet broadcast was abysmal- they either have zero budget or they got ripped off- one or the other. And when your showman keeps saying double guns loaded bang bang - who are they trying to entertain with that nonsense….The whole production was third rate at best.

I believe as tech becomes more prevalent in fishing, we will see younger folks taking a liking to fishing and hurting some egos.
Fishing will become a mainstream sport and you will see more of the younger generations owning the sport and the older generations will have their own playground.
Think about Baseball, Football, etc. Younger generations own the sport and the older generations retire and play the sport as a hobby.

Fishing will never be mainstream- darts, bowling, cornhole, women’s pillow fighting- all gets more ratings.

That means ANYONE an do it. It doesn’t take lifetimes of learning….just a few short classes on scoping.  I put LVS35 on y boat a month ago. Ive been out 6 times with it and I'm pissed. I still backlash, make errant casts, break off, hang up, grind rocks with my TM, struggle with boat control in 15mph wind and there is nothing on the dang thing that says THAT'S A BASS, AND the fish don't seem to know that minnow im swimming right over their heads is meant for them, 
GOD is good!

Agreed....fishing probably peaked in the early 2000's. It will always be a niche market.
Question: Is there a point when there is too much technology in tournament bass fishing? I saw one guy post about AI being incorporated into fishing, and I 100% see that coming. I can see it getting pretty insane with what will be available in the future.

How bout we celebrate a 22 year old that had brain surgery 1 year ago. And yesterday won the Bass Master Classic. It was a fair playing field. Every angler had access to the same equipment and tools and baits. Life is so much more fun when you are celebrating others victory's instead of bashing them.

I haven't seen or heard anyone bashing the kid. Congrats to the you man! I've seen discussion about the changing of the guard as far as top anglers go. I was pulling for my buddy Lee, and he came up a little short.
