How does everyone feel about forward facing sonar (FFS) in professional angling?
Some tournaments around here especially an upcoming crappie tournament in May at Truman Lake, MO has 2 divisions (one with FFS and one without).
I do not have an opinion and I have been saving up the money to buy it myself since I am a weekend angler and I like taking my dad fishing and not skunking out and have seen it work well for getting a limit of crappie by locals at my lake but I saw a video by Randy Blaukat (former MLF angler) on Youtube that has some good points arguing against its use in tournament angling on how it hurts viewership of the sport and ruins traditional skillsets.
I love hearing different opinions. My take is that technology has allowed us to do more in hunting (trail cameras, automatic deer feeders/food plots, better broadheads) for deer but in Kansas you can't hunt deer with thermal or night vision.
Let's keep it respectful! I know feelings can be strong on this issue.
