Great break down comparing a hunter gatherer covering miles of water to survive versus the gather who relies on farming various small spots...Great job mixing in on the water action...
Hey buddy love your videos have for long time now . I live about 45 minutes from the Sipsey River arm of Smith people have no idea how many fish are in rhe lake for one so 95% of the time we fish shallow w/chop-o , buzz bait , even burning a spinner bait some days can be incredibly fun , and last few years I’ve figured out a swim-jig 1/2 oz fished high and fast that will catch them pretty dang good . I have saw those wolf packs from late spring throughout fall we fish the bass fest tournament on the lake ever year and have never f Uushoot man I love smith too buddy we live 30-40 min from pickwick or Wilson on Tennessee river and other than Jan- feb only because of the chance of a 7lb smallmouth I’d rather go to smith any day and that’s the truth especially just fun fishing it’s possible to have 30 fish days not scoping at all .
I went out with Jake Whitaker and Patrick Walters, Whitaker never left the bank and Walters was doing both. Watching these guys is a real treat, and hearing them explain what they're doing is even better. I thought I'd hate being with a scoper, but it was actually fun.
The clouds showing up for the tournament really hurt the shallow bite. I think if it stayed hot and sunny like practice those shallow fish would have played a lot more.
Dang livescope took us 2D’ers secret away, we figured how to find and catch suspended fish with a drop shot in the middle of no where. Side scan, downs can, drop trolling motor and run over the top of them. Now all the fish are all sore lipped 😂😂😂 Dang scope!!!
Smith lake is pretty cool, beautiful lake with a ton of fish. It’s easy to bring my young son and he can fish a shaky head and catch them and I like the top water. Selfishly living in Birmingham I would love to see them fish the classic there when the weights would be a good bit bigger and the weights would be very similar. A big bass would change the dynamic instantly. And to your point, since it’s a shorter tournament, maybe a person could beat the bank and catch larger fish.
Watched a scoper in this tourney or the last describe what he was doing this way: “I’m trying to find dots that are relating to rock transitions.” Dots. They’re calling fish “dots” now.
Nothing better than watching Kennedy hunt those wolf packs. Jesse Wiggins also sent in a really good video of a huge pack on the bank in front of his house.
@@Goatse-monogatari_no_homo did you watch the video? Todd admitted it’s a good style for a day or two but you can’t sustain it for 4 days. Even Shyrock admitted the same after the first day. I don’t care if they win or not, it was still great to see a giant wolf pack in clear water chasing a big bait.
I watched maybe 20 minutes of BASS on Smith lake total in two days. Not going to watch someone looking at a screen for hours. Own the other hand I watched MLF on the James river for several hours through out the final two days so much more entertaining. Let me be clear I am a much bigger fan of BASS and their format biggest 5 and I think the people running BASS are just better people. I am not sold on B. f. DUCKETT as some people call him. I think the people running the show need to really take a long look at what is going to keep people watching. Maybe I am wrong but I don't thank so.
On a two day tournament you can win without ffs. On a 4 day event, you can’t hardly beat ffs. I watched it beat you TV. And ole Tater is getting real real good with his. Better watch him next year.
@@Kylewatchesstuff you have to understand that MLF and Bass are probably threatening the pros not to fish them ,shows what money does to pros, to bad for fishing
If it wasn't so expensive you'd have it to honestly. I hate how people think live scope is sooooo easy. You don't catch all the fish you see. Get with the times.
@@tylercarpenter9123 this is not always true. I have a fully rigged boat minus livescope and fish club and local stuff. I can afford to buy it I just don’t out of the principle of I don’t want to use it. If you want to use it that’s fine. I’ve never said it was cheating(it’s within the rules) and I’ve never said it was easy as it’s a skill developed like any other.
@tylercarpenter9123 I was Patrick Walters Marshall day 2, and we saw probably 2k bass and he was sitting on 0 until after 12, it's not as easy as these people think

Idk I love watching all of it but was awesome watching Steve Kennedy
Nice watching the old style clips. Thanks man!

Yup, watching him tossing that big guide 😊
Thank you for your Honest Views on styles of fishing!!!

The BPT James river was a MUCH better watch!
Was it, I didn’t see any of it
Skeet won his first BPT and it was a barn burner to the last second . Skeet caught all of his fish on a little !.5 style crankbait, very fun to watch.
Unwatchable
That’s awesome
Why unwatchable, just curious?

That is my problem todd. Once I get dialed in on one bait its hard for me to put it down even when I know should.

How Kennedy do on Sunday?

Most of us fish one day events. I don’t have ffs and have no plans to get it.
Taku won it all buddy
Bumscoper ITO
He literally won the basset all star classic in Japan last year fishing shallow cover pitching and flipping. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
I was wanting to ask you why they banned the alabama rig, to me that's the same or close as FFS ? Love the bank beaters!👍🎣
If catching a 5.5 spot is boring then I’ll scope all day.
He wouldn't have caught the spot without FFS
@@mikelembke5121 and you wouldn’t be completing FFS if he didn’t.
@@819phoenix if all you can do is fish with FFS you are not a fisherman
@@mikelembke5121 so what are the best fishermen doing on the elites than? Just getting paid to catch fish?
@@819phoenix you will never understand
Ish missed the wrong week for the fantasy picks, would have done really well with his usual selection.
Tyler Williams TOP 10 was your bank beater with a jig on docks...
JT also
Well that went out the window..Another bum scope win for the bumscopers
Guys missing cuts cause they won’t learn it are “bumming” I’m sure.
@skeeterchamp Guys that have no conscious are bumming the future of everything you seem not to believe in
Here's way?
On a two day tournament you can win without ffs. On a 4 day event, you can’t hardly beat ffs. I watched it beat you TV. And ole Tater is getting real real good with his. Better watch him next year.
Well, you called it, Taku wins. Not a fan of FFS events.
using Cheater Box's is not Fishing 😡🤢
Did they get DQ'd?
To bad a tournament series without FFS hasn't been created,I know there is 3 tournaments but a series of 8 ,put MLF and Bass out of business
They tried and failed apparently. Still no second tournament listed on TAA website. 47 boats won’t cut it
@@Kylewatchesstuff you have to understand that MLF and Bass are probably threatening the pros not to fish them ,shows what money does to pros, to bad for fishing
yes Todd there are a bunch of idiots out there, i commend you for doing the job you do. by the way you have a nice consistence hook set
We need some real fishing, these scopers suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ito would have never won that without the FFS. He cannot survive without it.
If it wasn't so expensive you'd have it to honestly. I hate how people think live scope is sooooo easy. You don't catch all the fish you see. Get with the times.
LOL! Yes so much so they win, by all means embrace the suck.

Amen!!

You left off no hooks allowed.
Why are you so scared of the colour pink? I thought good old boys were all tough guys.
😂 Forgot about the hooks and love pink... I support breast cancer and Kevin Short
Watching pros scope 12lb bags, it’s sad. They should not even be fishing there, fish all dying from the heat.
Couldn’t even watch the last 2 days of that shit show, sad…..
Absolutely the most boring tournament to watch yet.
