If anyone tries to deny this now then they themselves are in denial . This sport was once based on instinct and time on the water is now based on something completely different . 8 out top 10 are 25 years or younger.

Times change. Always have, always will.
Sorry the young guys beat your favorite old guy......is the sport no supposed to evolve or just die off with the old guard? Asking for a friend.
Giving that the top 20 percent in talent left a few years back it was only a matter of time before they were replaced. FSS or no FFS get use to seeing these young guns or stop watching.
I like to think the younger pro angler has combined the knowledge from the past with the newest technology. Instincts and time on the water is still being applied while on the water. FFS is just another tool. In fact, if you listen to Tucker Smith after winning at Lake Fort, it wasn’t his FFS that was the key. It was rather the use of his side imaging and 360 to find these fish. That technology has been in use for a long time.
Perfectly written!Quote:

I am just choosing not watch BASS. I will keep up with certain fellas on there and if they are doing well I will tune in for a few to watch them. BASS will be what it will be and tournament fishing has changed. Hopefully the NPFL will grow and I can become a fan of that. People will then have the option to watch what they want and follow what they want. I will say this, I keep hearing about how talented these young guys are. Are they? I mean at 18,19, 20 years old are they really that good at finding fish and a pattern and what not. I honestly do not know. Maybe they are. But me watching them watch a screen isn't what I want to see so I do not tune in. I thinbk the whole FFS thing will work itself out and we will find common ground again
he wasn't doing it with a screen. He was just that damn good.Quote:

I'd like to see some critics go on youtube live fishing with FFS to demonstrate how it's like cheating.
I thought it was a great tournament. Really don't understand all of the complaining about FFS, when everyone loves GPS mapping. To me, that was the biggest leap forward in fishing.
Yup! Mapping negated time in the water find those honey hole offshore spots. All of a sudden, people with no experience or skills were showing up on the juice :)Quote:

But Amart dropshotting straight down on their heads with down imaging was perfectly acceptable. :laugh:
Hopefully they miss me too. All these dudes scoping up century belts is comical at this point. Nobody caresQuote:

Turn it off and go fishing and fish anyway you choose. Live and let live.
