Caving to the olds is like caving to the woke. Crusty old has beens are still going to lose and need to just retire. Dude you need to look tournaments participation is down in opens bfls and a lot more. Ain’t gonna matter if you win and very few competitors show up. Bass knows this has been a [censored] show since they took garmin s money. At the end of the day nobody wants what they are selling .
I got all day I’m retired

I'm sure that what I'm about to say will ruffle some feathers, but I really don't care. If I had the power to remove some technology from the fishing world, it would not be FFS, SI, nor DI. It would be, GPS and Mapping. We would go back to paper maps and triangulation. But if I had that power, we would not be commenting on here, because the internet would leave this world ,before the fishing subject was ever thought of. People younger than 45 probably won't understand. I do believe mankind, was far better off before the internet than we are today. But everyone has a right to their own opinion.

It’s already started and without changes nobody will care about pro fishing anymore so goes the money. Like I’ve said Pro fishing has jumped the shark.

I don’t understand why Garmin would care so much about what BASS does? Do they really get that many sells from BASS and MLF? I guess so? Personally, I didn’t buy any of my electronics or tackle based on advertising from BASS or MLF. All of my electronics were purchased based on help from Garmin electronics page on the BBC. And my tackle from Tacticalbassin, The HookUp Tackle and a couple of other YouTube channels I frequent. Maybe I’m alone in this but neither one of those organizations have influenced my fishing other than to show me how much I suck at it. But I already kinda knew that anyway.  The Devil Wears Prada…

This thread isn’t about the BFL’s and yadayada, it’s Bassmasters, they have a waiting list to fish it. You have the whole BASS feeder chain too, Opens, College, I think they are in HS fishing too. Are they going to ban FFS at those levels too? I'm surprised BASS would care that much what some of the washed up old guys have to say, you'd think what would drive them would be what is best for viewership, internet clicks, selling ads, and revenue generation. Makes me wonder of they are seeing a tail off in their business and looking for ways to stop the fall. If business is growing, they'd be nuts to go to some sort of ban on FFS.

I feel like every side of this is people beating their chest and see who's the loudest. Pretty terrible way to do business. If their subs are suffering yeah but they are still breaking records with crowds and viewership. If it's my business I'm listening to the people paying the bills. Pretty simple
When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip! #Brockstarama

Doesn’t matter, the olds will still get their teeth kicked in, they are being out worked by the ‘yutes.
The olds cried about the ‘yutes getting info and look how that’s turned out, two of the “seasoned” veterans are now gone. The olds need to get over it, they created the ‘yutes. Yep, opened the door when they all jumped to MLF. Some of those olds came back to BASS, and now they're complaining?

Let’s keep in mind in reference to the video above, we don’t know if that guy has an actual clue on what he’s talking about. We’ve seen multiple rumors the last few weeks.

I'm thinking that some of this might have something to do with viewership. If its on tv and an angler is looking down at his graph for minutes on end, I'm gone. Yes, I'm an old but thats just down right boring.

That's true, this could be much ado about nothing. Blaukat is also making the same claim and even is saying BASS is doing this because of what he's had to say on the subject.

If people would just quit watching his video's he'd go away too.
