I did not hear any rules

Had me bought in until you said "anyone" can fish it. Those who have fished and been successful at the higher levels have an advantage. All the exposure and accessibility they've had, You can't legitimately argue that.

Every lake in Alabama and Georgia is beat to death. I honestly don’t know how bass reproduce. Spring tournaments pluck everything off the bed.

I agree ban ffs for the upland lakes.

Come to Seminole...Lanier...Eufala a little farther east.

Awesome format, now BAN FFS on boats and its truly based on talent.

Entry fee?

Ive said it for years and years its not what boat or how fancy its who in that boat that matters or is thats guys case at smith lake what he had on his boat i bet that guy hammers the spotted bass in that lake 100%... he said i dont need no flashy sparkly boat 😂 fish dont care what kinda boat you in

Do you think a 3 fish limit across the board would help to make tournaments a more level playing field and protect the resource at the same time

Great podcast Paul. As aways alot of info. Thanks

Thanks for tuning in ! Stay engaged and comment your thoughts!

Great video

Bull Shit

He was my pick to win.

Paul you gonna have to get some these crappie fisherman on the cast 👍

The bait company’s need to get on the wagon too, and start making minnows and jerkbaits! For you professional’s. And us old guys will buy the other old baits which will be on sale, cause you guys are the only fishermen not buying old baits! I love it! The baits are to damn high anyway! The old school fishermen can’t be forced to buy your FFS crap! So we ain’t changing our techniques our bats! Sounds like you guys are cry babies! LMAO! Keep the faith! Maybe you pros will be gone soon! 👍🙏🥸

If livescope is going to continue, think it’s incumbent on the directors and proprietors of tournaments to make sure that scoping isn’t the ONLY way to catch them. That’s the only way we’re going to level the playing field. Like he says at 9:00, we’ve got kids who can’t flip grass, they don’t know the fundamentals of bass fishing, but they’re scope wizards. We’ve also got veterans who can’t scope, but could find the biggest bass in a field of cypress or lay downs with their eyes closed. Here’s an idea for everyone to shoot down: if a four day tournament was half and half, two days scoping is allowed, two days it isn’t… And making sure there are tournaments where scoping isn’t a viable tactic for about half the trail. That’s the only way to know who is the best ALL AROUND fisherman. Which is the point of the tournament, right? To see who’s the best overall? These tournaments on Toledo bend etc this year were just scoping contests. People want to see who’s the best overall, which I think is where we’ve gone wrong. Or, we could simplify things and states could ban this tech once and for all, which would probably be better for both fish populations and the fishing industry as a whole. Let the hate begin…

For a new viewer and 1st time waterfront visitor a couple weeks ago. I wanna say that I love the show and the store. Very friendly staff and have everything you need. Thanks for the southern hospitality and keep doing what your doing and I'm a lifetime customer

Thanks so much for this show. Rocky Drake and I have had a ball doing the U tube clips hope y’all enjoy them as much as we do! And as always God Bless

I dont care how long you been fishing its NOT about how you wanna fish in a tournament its about doing whatever i got do to win its NOT about fishing its about catching even rick clunn understood this!!! things change only thing stays the same is death and taxes you gotta adapt and learn it nothing stays the same its mot 1984 anymore and im 50 years old this aint a kid talking just saying you got so mamy that dont waana learn it cause there set in the ways so we pose to change it cause you dont like to fish that way? its NOT about how you wanna fish !!! Period not in tournaments it aint !!

The comments around 9 minutes is so true.

Moo

Such a good young man and a great dad!

Weird how all the biggest livescope whiners are long time humminbird guys huh?

Let’s go!

Young man seems to have it figured out. He just finished 3rd in the high school Bassmaster Natty.

Hope they don't ruin Guntersville like they did Kentucky lake

Nice

Mr Duckett As a fan and an angler I’ve flipped and pitched my whole life. Now I’ve spent thousands on FFS electronics. I’m watching MLF regularly online and on TV my out door tv just for MLF and only because that helps me get better with my electronics FFS is a must in my opinion for your organization take away FFS and I can’t learn from the pros anymore. Please don’t let a few bad apples ruin FFS and technology. FFS is the now and the future. I’ve got thousands of dollars in FFS baits and rods and reels That’s what I enjoy watching. Thank you for reading this and taking this into consideration

I'm going to try to make a trip back up to see y'all when I get my boat back.

I started RedMan in 1984 fished till 2018

This kid is a natural hes gonna go far pops taught him well to

My boys. Future bassmaster classic winner

first of all I own a coding company so I love tech ok now to this question lets say I have tech that will tell me everything from bait to rod to where to cast and that bass is 5lb or 8 so on all u have to do is turn on the tech is that a pro??? now I say half with half not then u got a AOY who can do tech and Talent

easy way to fix it half with half not think u get a true AOY

What B.A.S.S and MLF should do is have one tournament a year without FFS and check out the results. Then what will Matt and Randy whine about?

If this industry doesn’t redirect to an inclusive recreation that returns to skill based success then it is in real peril of death by unchecked tech. Already a divisive game favoring the wealthy. At the expense of viewers , sponsors, a financial future.broadcasting rights

I know one place Matt will go ;)

good morning Mr. Paul

good job Mr. Paul

Let me ask this in tournanments its about CATCHING right? or is it about how the fans or the anglers how they wanna catch them ??NOPE Its not about how you wanna fish or what fans want its about catching not fishing i dont care how they catch them watching a guy go down the bank and throwing 9 thousand times gets boring to id rather watch him catching them just me myself alot of thse older anglers hate not throwing at something they cant see as in offshore fishing even though there best chance ar winning is there anyway no matter what rules they put in olace some will always cry

G-ville is crazy how much pressure gets still pumps them out got the hawg crappie to

Here's are my thoughts for the 2025 Elites, am not saying banned and am not saying keep the FFS in the boats. Bass said that 2024 they were going to look at the situation and they are getting their full view now for 2025 take FFS of the boats and now you will truly have real data to compare one season vrs the other in my humble opinion that's the only way too gather honest data at the end of 2025 Bass will have all the information they need to make a decision that will be fair for everyone. Thank you for the podcast it was very informative 👍

There's a lot of issues with money and marketing and all of that in professional fishing.. And everything else for that matter... Just being good with a game boy isn't going to make someone a professional fisherman. If it was as simple as you try to make it then you would have just caught fish by putting a live in your boat and it wouldn't have better miserable. It's a tool, it's not magic, if you learn to use it ALONG with understanding bass behavior and being willing to work and spend time on the water then it will make you better. But the tool itself is in almost every boat in a local bfl and they aren't even close to making it look like some magic trump card

Bass fishing now is like playing a video game

When your fishing for money the only things that should be live is the fish and the fishermen imo

Mix it up. I would like to see a tournament with zero Electronics in the mix also.

Waaaa I can’t compete anymore so we must change the rules 😂 Adapt or retire

Every sport the young replaces the older guys now it's not so much FFS it's the information these kids get a very young age took us older guys along time to learn the learning curve has been cut in less than half FFS is hand eye foot coordination the younger ones gonna be better at it period !!

Let's make each tournament technique specific.... BASS says that you can only throw a green pumpkin colored curled tail worm this week.... hahahahahahahaha
