.The young FFS guys are like the the progressive bunch in the country Butch this statement is one of the dumber things that has ever been posted here. You just took thousands of young people and lumped them into one group and that group can be pretty scummy.

I put 65 years into learning it the hard way and to have it thrown out for a machine to take it's place dose not sat well when I can see with my on eyes how it is unfair not to us old fishermen but so unfair to the fish that us old foggies have loved competing for for so many years. FFS makes a kid an expert in no time at all .It has always been the same you go to abusing it and soon there is no more of it You abuse English grammar and writing, nobody has banned you.

I use to care but it's doesn't even matter. The industry DESERVES these little future monsters and the little integrity they convey in their vids. Just watch, I see what's coming. It'll go from ,oh you fish bass tourneys? That's cool." to "oh...you're one of those". Calling it. Based on the trajectory now I'll give it 3 years. When they get off their parents insurnace time frame. Like Matt Herren, Boyd Duckett, Jeff Sprague, Mike Long, Tony Christian, Scott Martin, Robbie Rose type integrity? Them youngsters just don’t have this old school type integrity Integrity…..really. Have you not been around a bunch of people with a pot of money to win? From club level up there are sheisters. Fishing is full of them! The pedestal some folks put these anglers on is unbelievable. If you think everyone is cheating, youve already lost.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Cheating is a small part compared to the 7th grade clique antics some folks bring to the table.

It’s wild how all the fish you used to catch stopped biting since FFS came around.

If watching teenagers using FFS dominate BASS causes you to stroke out, then watch the old cooter league - NPFL. Why watch BASS if you're going to wig out seeing a young guy catch bass using FFS?

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 9 pages,128 replies and 3965 views.....not bad for a weak and petty post......just wait til April fools day....

You just took thousands of young people and lumped them into one group and that group can be pretty scummy. Well it sure seems like the anti-FFS guys aren’t allowed to have an opinion on this forum. We are all entitled to our opinion, but if you say anything against FFS the attacks come flying. Know of any other groups in the country that respect your opinion only if it agrees with theirs? I’m somewhere in the middle. I have a FFS and in fact caught every fish this past Sunday on Alan Henry using it. Found some fish about 12-15’ down and they absolutely would not hit any moving bait I put in front of them But if I stopped my Crankbait in their face they would sometimes eat. I literally watched every fish I caught eat my Crankbait. With that being said, I also believe it’s the worst thing to happen to the sport.

You are completely allowed to have an opinion, problem is, most of you act like your opinion is FACT.

I think it'd be cool to find the fish on the FFS and then just shock them to the surface.
It's stupid that we can't do that in Texas.
