Yeah I'm afraid its about to get real redundant the rest of the year. Its been cool having some diversity the last couple of tournaments.

Was cool to see how they were catching all these smallmouth the first day…a little monotonous now

Watching Hackney catch those shad spawn fish has been a breath of fresh air

Great to see John seal this one and all while fishing Kentucky Lake style!

Sounds like Garret has the winning spot, if he can just get the bites. Hope they have a camera on him tomorrow. It’s been a fun tournament to watch so far

If they keep getting big names like this and fishing good lakes, I think it could work. Hopefully live coverage at some point.

Exactly...the fact that they called them "live scopes" in the official voting ballot is a little odd.

Cool tech, but please no

I feel like Mark is a different breed. He'll adapt and do well.

Probably still be dominated and won with FFS though.

Exactly, well said!

I do think it will be limited in some way. Once viewership goes down and advertisers start to drop, then they will be forced to do something about it. This year will be the breaking point, because...

I agree, it’s been pretty brutal. No doubt the technology is amazing, but man there is zero diversity, except for the occasional run up shallow

He’s been the one saving grace

Agreed…it’s going to be even worse to watch this year since everyone is realizing you basically have no shot at winning or getting a decent check without using it.

Thats right, it probably would. Didn't think about that

Now that Micah Frazier has retired, does that bump Bobby Lane into the Elites?

I’m just worried about when all of the tournaments become FFS derbies. Just imagine if all tournaments and all 4 screens they show are nothing but guys open water drop shot/damiki fishing. That’s...

Yeah

Its really more about streaming and the ads ran there, but it doesn't stream well either.

Agreed. Just because we can doesn't mean that we should. From a pure fan perspective, it does make for terrible TV/streaming. There is a good mix of power/shallow water guys and FFS guys right now,...

He’s gonna find out real quick who John Garrett is when he’s out there smokin fools and consistently making top 10’s!

John Garret killed it this year. Great to see him make the Elites after coming so close last year.

No gobies as of yet. I’m sure they would thrive. The native baitfish are still there in decent populations , although nowhere near like like they were when the lake was on fire, in my opinion. The...

Congrats to Jake Lawrence on the win! The top 2 targeted spawning smallmouth offshore with Livescope. The fishing has definitely changed on the lake over the years. Turning into a smallmouth factory!
