    I'm just an old man who used to fish (non-tournament) many publicized fisheries over the years and can attest that "things" have changed with the fish or bodies of water, perhaps both. I never caught many big fish, but my buddies did as my forte was finding them and they knew the what, when, why and color of lures to use. In short following are a few lakes that are nothing like they used to be: Kentucky-Bull Shoals-Table Rock-Dale Hollow-Guntersville-Toledo Bend. In short the sport of sportfishing has loss the sport part.

    It’s funny because every single lake I go to, I don’t care if I’m in Tennessee or Wisconsin or Minnesota or Michigan I ALWAYS here the locals say “fishing used to be much better years ago and that it’s gone downhill.

  • @randy5766
    @randy5766 День назад +8

    Your comments echo the same problem with a lake that I and my brother have fished since 1981. We went from averaging 71 bass each to 4-9 bass in the same areas today. Our fishery’s people closed the catch and release in 2018 and there are now up to ten tournaments a week and after each tournament you see dead bass floating. This year we saw multiple boats with FFS. The old glory days are gone and we may possibly see the hard earned skills of bass fishing becoming extinct.

    Absolutely correct. I’ve fished Stockton for 35 years , I’ve seen the change. The first change was when side image came out then there was no more secrets , then FFS came along and it got even tougher

  • @cliffordhutt143
    @cliffordhutt143 10 часов назад

    You're hitting the nail right on the head, Randy. Regarding the effects of FFS, in fisheries management and stock assessments, we call it catchability. When you introduce new technology that significantly changes the effectiveness of the fleet, you can't make straight comparisons to the catches before and after. That said, we have ways to account for these shifts in our statistical analyses.

  • @russwilliams484

    Exactly who is saying our fisheries are in great shape? Certainly not those of us who are just recreational fisherman? Maybe those mouthpieces who are paid by BASS and MLF and talk about tournament fishing like it's the most important thing on the planet. Ban all tournament fishing and you'll start to see a recovery in a few years. Short of that, enjoy it while you can because there will be nothing left within 10-15 years if we don't stop tournament fishing. And don't believe Randy's BS about FFS destroying fishing. FFS has been a thing for about 3 years, tournaments? Over 40. Which do you think has had the real impact? Remember, Randy makes his living as a pro fisherman. He will NEVER admit to the underlying cause of the decline of our fisheries, never.

    Exploiting. The key word. This is a pervasive problem throughout our society, not just fishing. There are just too many of us who are willing to do what ever it takes to get ahead, without regard to anyone or anything else. People in that mind set can't be cured, they only get worse.

  • @LacyChuck
    @LacyChuck День назад +3

    I don't dispute anythng you're saying but there may be other variables. These artificial lakes are untested as long term fisheries. Stockton lake was only 15 years old in 1985. There has never been a stasis period to use as a benchmark. Is it possible that manmade lakes have a biological and geological lifecycle that plays out regardless of the fishing pressure? The leaching of nutrients and geological chemicals early in the lifecycle of Stockton Lake may be paying a role.

  • @winstonrocco1981

  • @iBaloo42

    I have electronics, including a livescope. I'm mediocre at using my electronics, and FFS didn't help me get a substantial amount of bass on the boat. I think that this is true for the vast majority of people who use electronics.
    The decline of the bass population in the fisheries cannot be blamed only on electronics and their use in competitions. Many forces at work contribute to the drop in the bass population. More people are taking on fishing, there are better lures (senko increased the ability to catch bass dramatically), and much better know-how is obtained from experienced people like Randy.
    Better fisheries management is needed to stop the decline of the bass (and crappie) population in various USA places. I'm from Ontario, so I'm stunned by the number of videos in the USA about how to fish bass pre- and during the spawn phases. That's not a thing in Ontario. It would be best if you simply had better control rules to allow the population to replenish.

    In general, people will take the easy route especially when money is involved. Our generation didn't start fishing when there were iPhones and social media. With technology constantly advancing, I don't see an end to this. With social media, catch n'' show and catch n'' cook are more popular than hard core fishing tip videos. During Covid, I felt as if I was virtual fishing by watching others catch fish on RUclips. I've seen the steady decline in our fisheries, but sadly it's nothing new from one generation to the next.

    They own most of our largest ports, and I can't understand how that could happen.

    It's the state that is responsible for managing lakes! Every lake has a creel limit! If the lake is suffering its because they aren't enforcing the creel and checking people! Stop looking for excuses as to why you aren't catching fish like you think you should....! After a while, it just looks like click bait! Especially when you have contradictory videos!

    I think all man made lakes need to be restocked with bass from a gene pool of bass that’s never been fished for. Bass these days are way smarter than they were back in the 80’s. Plus I’ve done a 3 year study on you and I’ve came to the conclusion “you are full of CRAP “
