All BASS had to do was allow ffs one or two day and not allow it one day and the best fisherman would have won.

well at 85 years old and been retired on fork for 27 years, the young'uns have taken over.
so be it, welcome to the future.
I still sometimes go out and still catch a few with "old skills"
time moves on and i hear we have "smart phones" now.
god bless the future.

This is America fish against FFS or don’t your choice!
I think there will be some other trails going to be traditional and ban FFS,
It will not be one of the big circuits.

The priority with the current BASS BPT MLF administrators isn’t the spectator. Watching someone else fish isn’t the most exciting thing in the world; but when you replace the mystery of searching for fish with watching a screen viewer targeting blobs on a screen in real time, there is no drama for most fans of bass tournaments. Watching someone throw around a big umbrella of wires and hooks and winding it in is at least fun to see…..but I guess the administrators want people in the expo buying electronics instead of participating as spectators of the event.

Not sure it’s gonna hurt the pros, but what will get hurt are the smaller trails I believe. People will only donate for so long before they decide a $400 entry isn’t worth it and stay away. You can say this is great for the sport all you want to but time will tell whether it is or isn’t. As far as the young man who won you can’t help but be happy for him because of what he has been through. 👏👏👏 ,as far as second place, well that’s another story. Read the interview Bass did with him either this month or last month in the magazine and it will explain a lot. Mi dos centavos!

This post is a top candidate for weakest and most petty post early into 2025.
FYI like any other physical activity or sport, youth is always going to prevail. If not Joe Montana and Randy Moss would still be dominating the NFL 5 pages,68 replies and 2028 views in less than 24 hours…. have you ever posted anything with that many replies or views?

A young guy playing by the current rules won. Congratulations to him it’s a life changer for sure. Im happy for him I really am. Im also sad for our sport that we love so much. It’s come down to all you need is a scope, a jerkbait and a Damiki rig and you can make it to the Elites. Don’t see whats so Elite about that. Zona said it last year “Pretty soon you will have a guy on the Elites that has never caught a fish he wasn’t scoping.” This is my opinion and Im sure I will get grilled for it but in my mind it cheapens the sport. Eventually BASS will ban it or severely cut it back, its inevitable and the young folks will be very upset. Why do I say that? Because the almighty $ always wins. When Strike King, and all the other lure manufacturers start having decreasing sales in spinnerbaits, crankbaits, worms etc they will start applying the pressure and then you know what happens next. Let the name calling begin. What a stupid statement- everyone has a scope and a jerk bait and for most guys it’s good for a 10lb daily limit.

I think a lot of guys here are missing the point. I don’t think we are going to like what this is doing to our fisheries in a few years. Fish are only going to get harder and harder to catch until one day most of our lakes are like fishing Ray Roberts. I’ve seen it change in my 36 years on earth and I know you older guys have too. The fishing pressure has expanded to the entire lake and has grown exponentially. We will eventually grow the sport to much and it will outgrow our resource.

So you’re willing to quit fishing so the pressure will be less?
