You gotta admit 2-16s and 3-12s up front is next level. We've seen 6 total, but 5 giant graphs up front is gonna be crazy looking.

Could it be because the typical Wheeler hater has 5 or less fingers on one hand, and the other is holding a cigarette?

One thing about it, there is only so much space you can cover with a graph. Maybe they will make a revolving graph mount so you can have more and just rotate them around like a lazy Susan :roll:

I'm waiting for the 360 sonar drone. Flies around dragging a 360 view transducer on a cable that puts the transducer underwater. Data is streamed via wireless back to the boat. You don't need to leave the dock until you find fish.

First thing I thought was what a pain it would making launching and loading the boat. Mines kind of a pain with 2-12s up front lol.

So if you had 5 bow graphs, you're in rough water and speared a wave....are they fastened down to the point where they won't get damaged? I know some fold down but is that even enough to protect them?

I think secure mounting will be a challenge on the Great Lakes if there is any wind at all with setup like that.

John Cox can beat him day in and day out without a depth finder. While all the FFS guys are scoping and hoping, Cox will be on the bank catching the ones they drove past.

Data will streamed to your glasses, there will be a mark ahead of you where cast. The technology is already there I imagine, once the price drops it will be, dare I say it, a game changer.

He’s a unicorn though. Very few can do what he’s doing.

John was on Luke's podcast a couple weeks ago. Said he was going to be learing FFS this winter. Figured a couple events he will have to use it.

This might be partly because Schmitt is a grass guy who I presume still lives in the Deale, MD area. Not exactly around deep water all the time so perhaps having ridiculous amounts of electronics helps keep him competitive.

Or maybe he's just getting old like the rest of us and can't see sh*t!

It was pretty funny that he said he had to mount mount the active target he's had sitting around for years for his upcoming gator hunt :laugh:. I bet with gator hunting livescope is an absolute GAME CHANGER

Depends on the venue.
