Wow! That is too cool! Answers a lot of questions as to why you keep getting pecked over and over when crappie fishing. Dry those filets, coat in olive oil, season filets, coat in toasted panko crumbs and bake for a "healthy" version.
Hi Edwin, yes very very cool technology! I know Dudley put out a video recently very similar. The amazing part to me is, with your settings dialed in you can actually see your line! Amazing! God bless!
WOW! I am excited and concerned at the same time, this type of fishing will change the tournament scene dramatically. What do you think about how this will impact tournament fishing, I am on the cliff on this one, but times they are a changing.
I think it is another tool, we all thought the Alabama rig was the end all, be all to bass fishing and fishing is still just as good as it ever was. You still have to figure out how to make them bite. I was amazed at how many fish looked at the bait and never bit.
depends on your own take on it. Some believe it's a great tool to advance their fishing and some compare to using a drone to find deer. my personal concern is the cost of fishing these days lol
Edwin I’ve recently got the livescope which looks basically the same. Just like you I immediately began to see and catch crappie on it. That’s fun but I’m looking forward to learning more on how to see bass with it. They seem a little harder to find.
Here is my take on it. If you are fishing for suspended fish it is unbelievable and can be a HUGE asset. The negative is I find myself staring at the screen and less time casting if I don't see active fish moving. If fish are holding close to the bottom it is my believe that using your side imaging/down scan to identify high percentage areas while keeping a bait wet is still the best move. Don't get sucked into a trap of thinking there aren't bass down there just because you don't see them on the live screen. Keeping a bait in the water is still the best way to go.
Did it take long to set the settings or is it complicated? If you don't use it, with all your skills it will be hard to compete with those that do. I'm working on getting one. Thanks for the video.
That’s because you were committing a cardinal sin of crappie dropping. You will learn it if you keep fishing for those crappie with that eyeball. It ought to be outlawed, it has changed the game completely for crappie catching. And I mean catching, not fishing.
So I have fished off the Panoptix, but haven't tried the Lowrance. I noticed on the Panoptix that there is about a quarter second delay from the screen to the pole. Not a big deal, but how does the Lowrance device do when it comes to that?
Edwin, that active target is amazing. Knowing the fish are there can save you so much time. Instead of searching you are fishing for fish that you know are there. About how much would it cost me to have this awesome technology? gentry ar.🎣🐟
Love the new tech that’s coming out from Lowrance. I need to upgrade what I’ve got but it’s going to be awhile. Crappie fishing is a blast when you find a school of them. The trump is crazy.
Man how technology has changed the game is incredible! Tell you what else Is incredible are your pecans man!! Got my order in last night and holy smokes people if you haven’t tried them you should!! Delicious and worth it!! Sitting on a gold mine Edwin 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
was a Lowrance fan for many years but in the last 10 they have been trailing, Humminbird and Garmin!!! To late switched to Garmin!! They are leading the way in imaging Tech!!!
So lowrance gets up there with the quality of livescope. Great! All they needed to do to surpass garmin was to make it more affordable. And they didn’t! Make it more palatable for weekend warriors if you want to own the market!!
It is a game "changer"... for the fish population.... the populations are sure to DECLINE..like you said " its too easy" ... ..especially in the smaller lakes and reserviors... fish populations WILL DECLINE...
You're still better off with Livesight because the window is tighter, you're looking at way too much area with livescope/Active target, you'll catch on !
Recording your screen with your unit doesn't give the reel clear detailed image as in live ! You should use a go pro or link your phone or a tablet to do screen record from your phone/tablet to get high definition record of your unit !
Am I alone in thinking electronics are ruining fishing. Fishing used to be about understanding fish, to find and catch them. Now all it comes down to is how well you can use a fish finder. If I want to play video games I will do it at home. When I'm on the lake I want to enjoy being on the lake and enjoying the outdoors. No stare at an overpriced LED screen. Just my opinion.
This should solve the tech-neck issue. Here is a new FIRST CLASS mount for your head unit. It is telescoping and adjustable to different heights. It also folds down out of your way during transport. Never could understand why these guys mounted their head units on the floor??? stowawaymounts.com/collections/all John
Doesn't seem like "fishing" anymore...just call it "catching" with the technology. I believe tournament fishing at the highest level should allow Garmin/Lowrance for practice but not in the actual tournaments... Very cool Technology though. Great video.
What chance do the fish have? You see them , their size , and how they react . This is not much sport !! Now anyone can catch fish . Technology has replace knowledge and skill. Video game fishing. To much advantage to the fisherman, hope the tournament officials offset this with limiting line size to even the playing field . It be hard to catch fish in brush pile if you could only use 6 lb test. Think the are lure shy now , just imagine every boat with these units.
Sure, as soon as these over priced units come down in price. 3+ grand to catch crappie or small mouth easier. thats a lot of gas money spending more money to stay on the water to get real experience and skill
I think sonar technology has gone too far and it's going to impact our fisheries. A lot of big bass are going to end up on people's walls with this technology taking out our big fish genetics. I loved the paper maps and triangulation days before GPS. When you had to work to find the sweet spots that everyone wasn't pounding on.
I'd guess we are right around the corner of under water drones with cameras,forward sonar ect,that'll communicate with boat the boats electronic's to follow the fish.
@@jtn-minn8105 it's turning into hunting instead of fishing when you can follow a fish. It's illegal to put a line and small float on a fish and release it back into a school to follow the school and this is basically doing the same thing.
Can you believe this?! 🤯 Let me know your first impressions and questions below! 👇
I have the Ti2 series on my boat but looking at this I would need a new display along with the active target transducer for compatibility.
I'm looking into either the live target or the mega 360 Hummingbird. Don't know which way to go, so thanks for your input!
All I want to know is how much does it cost! How many extra days am I gonna have to work to get one lol!
How to you screen capture the sounder display?
@@dougp8345 livescope
A slow lift once you have the crappies attention will usually trigger a bite.
For sure! Or just dead sticking it.
When I first saw it, it reminded me of the Garmin's pan optics. That was so co watching the fish come and look at it and swim around it! Keep it up!
It is a game changer for Lowrance. It's great seeing a grown man get so excited about a new toy! I do the same thing.
okie here just got my 12 and 9 live units. just need that active target and its a go!!! awesome you actually kept the fish. nice!
Wow! That is too cool! Answers a lot of questions as to why you keep getting pecked over and over when crappie fishing. Dry those filets, coat in olive oil, season filets, coat in toasted panko crumbs and bake for a "healthy" version.

Sometimes it actually hurts you. You’ll spend way too much time trying to catch a fish that just doesn’t want to bite.
depends on your own take on it. Some believe it's a great tool to advance their fishing and some compare to using a drone to find deer. my personal concern is the cost of fishing these days lol
Your right! I never thought I would see 90,000.00 bass boats and 20.00 chatter baits,,,lol!@@frankheck2854

Crappies are really addictive. I've gone 4-6 times to try and catch some nice bass and end up chasing crappies all day.
Amazing game changer Edwin! Ordered and will be on my new Nitro connected to my Live 12 in a couple weeks...a must have. Thank you for the vid.
It is a game changer!
Love it bro!! I'm just a hummingbird guy so I have to wait to see the new mega live imaging..
it will be the same lease from Garmin
Did it take long to set the settings or is it complicated? If you don't use it, with all your skills it will be hard to compete with those that do. I'm working on getting one. Thanks for the video.
Absolutely not, I was amazed. I have a video coming out on this. The easiest of all the equipment to set up.
I have the Garmin pan optics and it is so addictive and fun to watch you bait get eaten
Best tool for crappie fishing ever. Ordering mine soon. I was so close to buying the pan optics till this. I have a Live unit so 🤛
This is going to change the game and the limits. Plus it should change the population 😊
I was amazed at how many fish never bit and they would be right at my bait.
That’s because you were committing a cardinal sin of crappie dropping. You will learn it if you keep fishing for those crappie with that eyeball. It ought to be outlawed, it has changed the game completely for crappie catching. And I mean catching, not fishing.

Dude, those chocolate toffee pecans are no joke! 😅 I ate the whole dang bag! Glad I got 3 of em! The fresh ones are really good too! 😎👊
Edwin, that active target is amazing. Knowing the fish are there can save you so much time. Instead of searching you are fishing for fish that you know are there. About how much would it cost me to have this awesome technology? gentry ar.🎣🐟
Is this mounted on your trolling motor or on a separate pole
Love the new tech that’s coming out from Lowrance. I need to upgrade what I’ve got but it’s going to be awhile.
Crappie fishing is a blast when you find a school of them. The trump is crazy.
Thank you sir I love learning from your videos!
Game changer for lowrance fans mabe. I've had livescope and mega 360 on my boat for a couple years already.
Hi Edwin just a reminder that you have motivated me to follow my dreams and try to become a professional bass angler
You can do it. I wish you the best!
What pole are you using for your GoPro in the rear seat pole?
Man how technology has changed the game is incredible! Tell you what else Is incredible are your pecans man!! Got my order in last night and holy smokes people if you haven’t tried them you should!! Delicious and worth it!! Sitting on a gold mine Edwin 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Fun video, Edwin! Thx for sharing!
Pre ordered mine.. hopefully it shows up before the tourny season starts
Gamechanger for sure! Love my Lowrance!#RippinLipsInc
What did you use to find the fish? Did you just know they were there?
It is amazing how far technology has come and how you can see the fish eat your bait! It will definitely change the way you play "the game"!
was a Lowrance fan for many years but in the last 10 they have been trailing, Humminbird and Garmin!!! To late switched to Garmin!! They are leading the way in imaging Tech!!!
Not going hungry tonight congrats can this be hooked up tobthe elite ti2 do u know
Is this good for bass fishing?
Is it worth the $2,400 if your not fishing tournaments?
That's awesome man!👍
Game changer?
Looks much better than live sight for sure.
But I've been catching crappie like this, with Garmin live scope, for almost 2 years.....
That is incredible! Enjoyed the video🎩
Like to see you fish bass on off shore rock piles or ledges using the new active target!
*Looks good even in daylight **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it was exactly what it was described to be , works awesome , overall happy with product*
Graet video, that's an awesome sonar
Is that battery charger still on the give away lol?
So lowrance gets up there with the quality of livescope. Great! All they needed to do to surpass garmin was to make it more affordable. And they didn’t! Make it more palatable for weekend warriors if you want to own the market!!
Garmin has the patent for this technology. I'd be surprised if price comes down because hummingbird and lowrance have to pay royalties to garmin
Can you tell the species of the fish?
its so great that you have to highlight the spot where the action is so ppl know where to look......lol
Wow! So cool
Wanna catch more crappie? Use Bobby garland baits!!!!
It’s been out for a couple years now by Garmin leading the way.
Yes Garman had it out first but there’s more to that story than meets the eye.
@@EdwinEversfishing sure is!
Well tell us what we aren’t seeing then
if you want a good cropie bait you probly alredy know about it but you can't go wrong with a slider
It is a game "changer"... for the fish population.... the populations are sure to DECLINE..like you said " its too easy" ... ..especially in the smaller lakes and reserviors... fish populations WILL DECLINE...
It’s cool, but it’s going to ruin fishing. Makes it to easy
I was like, "Don't throw that slab back!" Then he put it in the livewell!
That's a lot like ice fishing with a flasher.
Its like a choppy version of garmin livescope.
Agree. Garmin livescope still a superior product.
You're still better off with Livesight because the window is tighter, you're looking at way too much area with livescope/Active target, you'll catch on !

Them slabs its legit video game fishing lol
Man's gonna have tech-neck from looking at that screen. 🤣

Crappie feed up so the bait needs to be about a foot above the fish
The more you fish with livescope etc you will learn this isn’t always the truth.
Doesn't seem like "fishing" anymore...just call it "catching" with the technology. I believe tournament fishing at the highest level should allow Garmin/Lowrance for practice but not in the actual tournaments... Very cool Technology though. Great video.
I’m sorry but it’s just not as clear as Livescope
Crappie are some good eatn
Damn the clutter and noise on that sucks compared to garmin

Stay in your lane bro. Lol. Get back to them green trouts. Hahaha
Probably should be illegal in pro tournaments
Doesn’t look better then garmin. Lol. Lowrance. Can’t keep up.
