    He won't be happy when he goes back and watches Birge, DC and Wheeler using forward facing sonar to catch fish. Although he wasn't playing the offshore game at all it seemed which I just don't understand not trying it. Maybe he did and they weren't on his camera.

    It was a factor for sure. I'd be worried if I was a Humminbird pro on when they will actually get stuff.

    It is only 'official' if there is a plaque or a certificate or coffee mug e.g. "World's Greatest Dad™..."

    Electronics are changing so quickly. Not having a sponsor seems to be a good thing tight now. Using what you want freely is more valuable.

    ^^^^ The guys who understand that left their sponsors. By the sounds of it sponsorship isn't that great anyway. John Crews was saying that they weren't getting stuff for free, or being paid salaries by these companies, most are just getting a discount on buying stuff - which is certainly not worth it. It's clear that none of the Pros are able to "test" or use prototype equipment, if lucky they got to see a demo, or got sent an email saying "yeah we are working on some stuff". This isn't racing where competition is in fact the development platform for new technology. And even racing is also struggling to keep itself afloat with money in most of its forms these days.

    KVD was definitely at a disadvantage today without FF sonar. And I'll bet he ain't none too happy about it.

    Hmm, did they actually say he didn't have it. I thought he mentioned it was going on before Redcrest. I can't believe he wouldn't have been Unit 001. If that is the case I suspect the folks at HB get a not so nice email later this week.

    Between Connell and KVD they caught about 15 fish between them that just missed the 2# limit.
