Such a stupid comment.
A little research will show Mr. Mckinney is not just a scoper. So while your statement may be true about a lot of them it isn't about him.
On a side note I have no doubts a 12 year old could take livescope and be proficient in a short amount of time. As someone who has young kids technology is every where for them. It's in their wheelhouse. And we are seeing it first hand.
Thank goodness for FFS
It’s amazing how mad people are about watching people staring at a screen vs beating the bank. I really think it’s jealousy at this point. Not really sure how beating a bank is just so much more interesting.

He's good!
Because in 3-5 years if you’re not only using that tool you won’t be fishing any professional trail. There will be a random event here and there that’s won without it but very few.
I think it’s as much the fact that he’s 19. If Trey was 40 it would be a lot more palatable for the Velcro shoes and blue blockers crowd to accept

Nope not here. I am 66 and loved watching that young man win. Way to go young man. Great winI think it’s as much the fact that he’s 19. If Trey was 40 it would be a lot more palatable for the Velcro shoes and blue blockers crowd to accept
I know man, it was pretty awesome to see the kid do what he did. I was speaking more to a certain segment of the older crowd

Yes
And stupid just showed up
100% Jealousy
Guys in my club complain because others have more time to practice. This is before live scope. They just can’t accept the fact that others are better and need to blame their failures on something other than them.

The young man fishes 300 plus days a year. Meanwhile, the anglers complaining about scoping spend 3 months in a deer stand. If you want to excel at your craft, one need to work on it 12 months a year. Tiger Woods didn't dominate because he took three months off.from golf.
Probably more truth to that than many will admit.
Define “professional coach?” The guy that traveled and fished with him the last several years is a very good local fisherman from the same southern IL area. 60ish years old. Live and mostly fishes in Illinois all his life.
Wow do some people ever put any thought in what they are posting before they post it? Wheres he from and tell me how hes done so well in the area he is from.. Look at the lakes hes been taking peoples money on for years already, dont think that was because of FFS (lots before it was even out), he just has another polished tool in his box and that makes him beyond dangerous
My kids played tennis - it was not unusual for wealthy families to travel to tournaments in a motor home and with a full time coach assigned to just their kids. Home schooling was part of the deal, so they could focus on tennis. But I've never heard of that in fishing.
This kid is good. Really good. But it's taken a huge amount of resources to get him here that isn't available to the average kid that loves fishing. Congrats to him for being so humble about it.
I think it's pretty self explanatory. He is someone who is paid to coach Trey and teach him the things that he needs to know that will help him to become a successful tournament fisherman.
When I was in my early 20's I played a pick up game of basketball at the local church with a bunch of 40 and 50 year olds. I was personally invited to play - then proceeded to wipe the floor with them as their ailing hearts and knees couldn't handle the pace. The day after they personally un-invited me from ever playing again.
Feels like that 2.0 with some of the fuddy duddies out there. Watching 19 and 20 year olds put your tournament fishing career into early retirement isn't a blast.
LS wasn't around when he was 12. One dumb comment after another in this thread.
