Just watched a replay of an MLF Cup derby from 2021 - pre FFS. It really was fun to watch. ONLY 2 graphs on the boat - 1 on the console & 1 on the deck. Some guys struggled & some hammered ‘em. But THEY ALL talked about how they broke down the lake as they searched for fish! Sudden Death Round, D Connell struggled for 2 1/2 periods, he was in 8th place… he made a move up a creek and caught 2 fish & announced on camera “I figured them out”. He went from 8th to 4th in 20 minutes & qualified for the Championship round. After he talked about he current with ambush points that he looked for in the creek arm. I watched Greats like KVD, Wesley Strader and Brent Chapman struggle to catch fish because the couldn’t figure out the bite. So sad that those days are now gone. We might get a little of that in the MLF format. But as long as FFS is allowed in tournaments the days truly breaking down lakes and weather patterns and water clarity are no more!👎🏻 I learned more from rewatching that tournament than I will ever learn from watching guys stare at their FFS. I don’t blame the anglers… they need to support themselves and their families so they need to do what is necessary. It is all the tournament bodies and the electronics companies. Don’t stop the fight Randy it’s a great cause for the sport and the fish!
Randy The young man that doesn't have the money.Tell him to get involved with a bass club as a non boater he will have just as much fun unless he is fishing with a livescoper.
There are very few of those any more. In my area there is no clubs that do co anglers any more other than clubs that fish partners but that is the same two people all year. Most of the time they are buddy's. And with the price these pros have driven this sport to is in sane. And just don't take my word for it just look at the store Randy tries to get you to buy from. And then go price compare at Wall mart these pros have driven this sport to extinction. There was one pro on the other day pushing tackle boxes. One box just to hold 10 crank baits was $50.00 insane, when wall mart sells 12 boxes for under $20.00 bucks. And this pro was pushing these boxes hard. And that's just the small end of it. Just this year the bass boat industry was bragging on the new 200 THOUSAND DOLLAR bass boat. I'm 63 and can't even see that and I did well for my self over the years. But again pros get a new boat every year FREE.
I wish kids could grow up loving to fish, period. Tournament fishing is not a good substitute for the simple joy of chasing fish for fun. For the cost of a liscence, some tackle, and some spare time, most kids could learn to love fishing - not competitive fishing, just plain fishing. Thats where the real magic is.
I fished Tournaments in our local bass club back in the 80,'s, I was poor, I could not afford those crank baits so I made my own hair jigs, cost me about 10 cents a jig, went on to win angler of the year twice on those jigs, so I really understand what you are saying in this video.
Hi Randy. My name is Carl Anderson from Ontario Canada. I could easily buy a live scope but i dont. To me, much of fishing involves the "mystique" of not ever really "knowing" fish locations. I explore the usual grass beds, points, structure, lay downs. Eagerly awaiting that strike. I would NEVER want to see the fish. I have a sonar for reading bottom details but that's it. Live scope is like fishing in a giant swimming pool. Much of fishing involves experience and intuition. Livescope bypasses all that. Heck we dont even fish for bedding bass here. Its illegal. Im happy with that. I do not wanna "see" the actual fish. Anyhow, love your channel and agree with your views on live scope. Carl
I fish professional bass tournaments for 8 years, California Delta West trail, why fish any tournaments now , because everyone, mostly, has FFS., intil they get that crap off the boat, your up against the cheater box, learn how to use it if you don't most like you, your not cashing a check, because they no they got a big time advantage and all the other people that don't have it and don't use it, they seat on spots all day.
The thing is for me, i have 1ea. 7DS and 1ea. 9TS , I FISH A LOT OF BASS WITH THIS SETUP, and that's out of control,😂😂😂, FFS LIVE VIDEO, BASSMASTER NEEDS TO POST FFS. ELITE SERIES TOURNAMENT CIRCUIT, it's killing are sport!!!!
Young people won't read a book, don't no how to read a map, don't to work hard on the water 🎣, just cheater box😢, thank God for some sports, you don't get good, if you don't work hard!!!!!!!!!😮
Randy we don't hook up the boat to go watch squirrels hump or birds hopping around. We go to catch bigs. Time is valuable and I'm glad I don't have to waste my time blind casting anymore.

Couldn’t agree more Randy. Livescope is the most destructive thing this sport has ever seen

He will be every time

Fish and Game.. they need to step in and ban live scope

They should just get a real job and fish for fun

Your loss,
So you admit you suck at fishing, I like your honesty...
@@shawnmcdonald7765 some people will never get it. I'm sure he's far too bad ass for the rest of us. "Catching bigs" ...what a d-bag. 😂
You're just so clueless about what he's talking about
