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. Most of you? Meaning just the anit-FFS crowd acts like their opinion is fact? Or both..

It’s people like KingChamp and Beartrap, PK pops or whatever his name is. So, once again, I’ll say it. “It’s not cheating, because it is legal and everyone has the same opportunity to use it”. Next yr the classic will be a on tik tok. Im done, nothing to see here but screen shots of teenagers fishing outta Daddys pocket for the Classic Championship! Congrats to Lee For actually fishing a tournamant, and not staring at it! If you watched the live then you’d see he scoped plenty. He just had more success doing other things

At the same time, I am in the same boat as sprig. My opinion is that it is bad for the sport.. that doesnt make me 'an old' (although im almost 40), it doesnt make too lazy learn it, or whatever else people say

The same little group calling everyone old and trying to belittle a different opinion never do and are always the same ones! I have it and I use it but my opinion is the same as urs (just don't like where the sport has gone as a whole) and I hate the belittling that goes on!

not sure how i got labeled as anti FFS .....I'm neutral and all i have done is try to point out the obvious changes tournament bass fishing is going through....believe there's a lot of similarity between using game cameras for deer hunting and FFS for fishing....namely you don't hunt where there ain't no deer and you don't fish where there ain't no fish...
is it going to ruin tournament fishing? I don't know...

is it going to ruin tournament fishing? I don't know... I think that is fair. I have used this example as well. To me, normal 2d, 360/SI would be equivalent to game cameras... I would equate FFS to using drones to track deer down (illegal as it violates 'fair chase' ethics). Obviously there are no perfect analogies.

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. I prefer a little dynamite myself. Adds to the excitement!

Dynamite or shocking would both be fantastic. I see a FFS league where you shock the schools up, or just blow the hell out of them. This could really work. A true fishing league. Who knows where technology will take us. Hopefully one day I can just fish from my couch and win tournaments. Maybe AI will get us there.

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.... I'll give it another reply, keep it going folks!

Newsflash:
For non-bass fishermen, bass fishing is boring. For non-fishermen, fishing is boring. Bank beaters hate offshore scope fishing, it's boring, but effective. Evolve, or donate.
