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 10 pages.149 replies and 4,454 views....

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. I was beating the bank yesterday, I'm happy to see people off shore fishing when I am on the bank.

Yall gotta admit no matter which side you are on that its weird that a certain new technology that children are really good at becuase they dont know anything else is dominating 95 percent of professional tournaments lol. Its weird. Imagine your grandad coming back from the dead that taught you to fish and trying to explain this [censored] to him in 5 minutes.
I think we can all agree its strange at the least.

I think we can all agree its strange at the least. “Children are good at”? Everyone has the same access- some are willing to put in the work to be better, some aren’t- and that’s what we are seeing.

One of my fishing buddies is an 81 year old cooter. He has FFS and uses it all the time.

The age obsession is weird.. my opinion isnt based on if a 20yr old is doing it or an 80 yr old. its based on (by my count) 11 of the last 14 elite tournaments being won using FFS. Its quickly becoming the only way to win... I like diversity, i like seeing different techniques.. those are becoming a thing of the past.. more so, as technology continues to development (there will be AI in pro fishing), it will only be exacerbated.

Geez, take his comments for the purpose they were intended for and don’t get your panties in such a wad. Everyone knows they sell those things to anyone with money, just like boats.

Possibly for the first time ever for me on this forum... I do not have an opinion.
It is very boring to watch scoping on TV. That said I didn't watch much bass fishing prior to the scope. Now I watch none.
And it's not because I want to stick it to BASS or because I don't like scoping... It's just boring. Let's be honest

Live sonar for personal use in the privacy of your own lake…..sure, all for it.
But it sure is boring on tv…..less exciting than watching someone ice fish through a hole in the frozen water.

It will be interesting to see what the viewer numbers are. NPFL claims theirs are up over a 1000 percent over last year.

I didn't watch a single minute of it. There's honestly nothing to watch. I don't know why anyone would watch a bass event.
