For the love of God, please don't stop producing videos Aaron. They're just some of the best content in all of RUclipslandia. I know it's probably a royal pain to edit them but please, for all of us at work watching videos instead of doing what we should be doing, don't stop!
@@EngineeringHooksets Im not sure what it means to be a scoper. I have one. I don’t use it that much but I intend to use it to find fish in deep water at some point. I think it’s a pretty sweet tool.
The work of a man who understands the progression of technology. You are the person these competitive spaces in the fishing inustry need. Adapt or fall behind. You nailed it once again Aaron.
Guys on RUclips are more relatable then any tournament anglers to the average fisherman. Jay Siemens, Clayton Schick, The geek's, ext all very relatable. Ive never liked watching tournaments but i like watching people fish.
"my allegiance is ultimately only toward expanding angling opportunities" -Aaron Wiebe -best dude at critiquing fishing as a whole and from damn near every point of view. outstanding video.
Just remember that quote next time u pull up to a spot and there's a bunch of guys fishing it already. The internet the best/worst thing to ever happen to fishing.
@@Upgraydez You're certainly not wrong there! The internet -the best/worst thing to happen to everything. IMO there's just more people in general -not just at your/my favorite spot. I look at it with the mind set that I just need to try to stay one step ahead and just keep fishing. Keep finding new spots and new tactics in the event the existing spot will inevitably get blown up. I've been in situations several times where I've told folks exactly what I'm doing and how Im doing it and they simply just struggle to replicate it -and don't catch fish.
I know this comment will prob get buried amongst the 1000's of comments but I got more info and laughs out of this one video then I have of all last year combined on RUclips ha ha. Love to see the videos
Outstanding. I always love washing my lures in Randy's tears. Gives them a special kind of shine that shows up well on my livescope. Your video's are exactly why i bought a livescope. My son and i love being able to easily find structure and weed edges. Game changer
Bro there is no such thing as a bad mood for us when you post a video. Buddy if you knew what you did for us anglers out here everytime you post a video…..and the dopamine it sends to our brain and how even the smallest videos you upload turn our days weeks and months around. If you knew the impact you had on anglers around the world that watch this …:. Tight lines man and per usual thanks for the upload
been fishing walleyes since 8 years old...i am 46 years old now and i know walleye movements, different seasons and caught em all kinds of ways and i am now a scoper and that knowledge of walleye movements has only enhanced my ability to be a scoper and be successful doing it.
Great video, exactly what the fishing industry needed right now! When Gussy said that none of the FFS haters showed up at that non FFS tourney down south, that said everything we needed to know about those people.
Can't show up to an event you don't know about..... Randy doesn't even have a boat at all right now.... Lots of guys were at other tournaments. Making a reason to be upset is childish. Try using logic and reasoning.
@@Sometimes7453 .... Are you mentally incompetent? This comment is about people.... These morons are talking about people and technology and tournaments, the species and customary purpose is irrelevant, like your comment.
You did an amazing job on this video! I have been watching your content for years and also followed the struggles and fights that got highlighted with the Municipality. Keep up the good work Aaron, and I will keep praying and supporting any way I can!
Aaron, I gotta say man, the dedication and the editing in this video is outstanding! This looks like a thesis paper created in a video format. You have done an incredible job getting your message across about forward facing sonar. Once again man, well done! Love your channel
I don't know who that is but Dandy Flauket is a P O S and a half. Liberal af and hates free speech unless it agrees with him. He contradicts himself at times and hasn't been top in tournaments for a long time... he tried to get famous for hate. He is the original Hater...
Bro this was a super creative video and I know it took a lot of work to put together but it came out awesome you have like 20 narratives going on at the same time which is so cool!
Man did the industry need this video, thank you. This sport needs more unity and non-endemic sponsorships to keep it alive on the tournament scene not infighting about tech that is paying to keep the sport alive. I still can't catch anything. Miss you.
Pretty sure this won't be noticed in the industry. The bigger the tournament scene, the harder it is to find water that hasn't been slammed. Who wants to fish a lake after a big tourney? Only pelicans to scoop up the floaters.
"this sport" wait until you realize 99% of the fishing world has no idea what goes on in the braindead cesspool that is professional American bass fishing, which absolutely should not be kept alive
This is undoubtedly the best video I've seen in a while, I didn't want to watch it right away just so I could have as much entertainment reading the comments. I'm the old dude in the room, and I haven't fished a tournament for 30 years just because of all the crap that is still going on, the infighting amongst ourselves. I'll put on everything that works on my boat. Who wouldn't? These young guys are the new up and comers, and the older dudes better embrace the fact that they are getting outfished by the younger and better anglers.
Editing level 1000!! Man, you put that together perfectly all the way to the end. Those same clowns that hate ffs dont have a problem with the spot locking,autopilot robot on the front of their boat! They pick and choose what "technology" they like😂
As someone who's never fished with a live scope, I can't speak from experience. However, I do believe that to an extent it is a bit cheap after watching so many videos on it. I think it definitely takes away from the fishing experience. I can see why someone would want to use it. For example: chasing suspended fish in bays during summer (namely large pike or muskies). Overall I think FFS is a bit game breaking. I haven't used it before though, so I can't say. I typically just use a standard 2000's sonar.
Most people will never learn about the environment and nature, they'll just learn how to target fish. Most people are naive to the effects of this in the future. But they care about other things, like Aaron, who just wants more people fishing which is a shame in itself.
Aaron, usually don’t comment on videos. Saw a lot of people curious on whether this was a forward facing sonar pro or against video. While it may be clear to you or others, I think we need to do a better job at making it obvious. Livescope is a tool, we can use it positively or negatively, if we use it to limit out every day on the water, we will probably see a decrease in fish quality and eventually quantity. If we use it to keep a few, and pair it with good handling and releasing fish well, the decrease would be minimal- if even measurable. On a separate note I am in agreement with one of the gentlemen on how tournaments are severely affecting fish populations. Everytime I have gone to a lake the day of or day after a tournament I find so many dead bass because their keeping them in a live well, and hauling them around all day and the fish can’t handle that level of stress. The catch photo and release tournaments should be the standard. Why have a weigh in 5 hours later when you can measure them and have a digital leader board. Cheers, a fly fishing, pond hopping, lake running , river running livescoper ❤
With all the new, careless anglers out there, how could this possibly go wrong? Wait until any clown can buy ffs glasses and show up at ur fishing spot? Nothing I luv in fishing more than a crowd of newbies pillaging fish.
What a brilliant idea for a video. Im on the edge of my seat to see what follows and i’m inspired. Im So sick of the same old fishing videos everyone puts out ,
man I just telling my kids this morning about the guy with one of the biggest fishing youtube channels hasn't posted in forever glad i looked and you proved me wrong
Fantastic per usual Aaron. Great work. Sad to see where the hypocrisy and negativity in the fishing industry today, when there's so many reasons to be excited and optimistic about how much we are learning, how many more fish we're catching, and how much better we can be at conservation.
Beautiful masterpiece. All the fuss about FFS online really bugged me and you perfectly laid it all out. Everyone who is stressing one way or the other about FFS needs to watch this!
Do you remember as a kid looking forward to the next episode of your favorite TV series only to find out it’s a clip show? And all of sudden you realize you’ve been really enjoying the clip show!
That took so much time to put together. The vision you had to incorporate this into a walleye tournament vid is just incredible (trump voice). Love it man
Awesome video, glad to see technology working for the fish with the CPR format being utilized. I started a catch-photo-release surf tournament in 2004 primarily because I was told it couldn't be done. The event has been a huge success since and hopefully has fostered new ways of thinking for anyone operating a kill tourney. Is it weird to get goosebumps when you see a video pop up from the Heterochromia eyewear guy? Never give up; never surrender!
I got to fish the NWT this last week in Garrison ND. Meet some of the great sticks almost all of them using FFS. I learned a lot as a co angler and how amazing it is to find fish. To be a Pro isn't just using FFS it's a lot more then that. Just another good tool in many ways of fishing. Great video
Loving this new hell bent for making things right on a Kyack kicking your teeth in fish catching Aaron content!...also a Manny doing AL clip would have sent this over the top.
Aaron makes some great points about mortality not been taken seriously for tournaments and other events, thats why the catch, photo release seems like the way of the future. I understand the concern about the resistance to technologies like LiveScope. I'll be honest I have never used one, but ever since it came out I haven't been a big fan of how much it reveals and it's changes it is making to fishing. I do believe that LiveScope used on a large scale by a large percentage of anglers will have damaging effects on some fisheries, i could be wrong. But if you don't think so, you can go back a couple years to a Jay Siemens video were he did a demo of the LiveScope, after he used the LiveScope he concluded that regulations will have to be changed to adapt to the new reality, and that new reality is it will be easier to find fish and target them more precisely. Im not sure if Jay would say the same thing now that the controversy has blown up, but his 1st take if im remembering correclty was this is gonna require regulation changes so the fisheries are kept in good shape. Aaron's video this winter on picking through a Crappie school is a good demonstration on how you can really take advantage of the information LiveScope provides. So as long as we are having an honest convo about the possible negative side effects of LiveScope, I am here for both sides and what has to be said.
Great to see an upload from you !! We use to watch/follow fisherman channels here to learn more. The electronics that have arrived over the years have never impacted the learning content but that changed with the arrival of live technology. Slight exaggeration- Most creators have become “lazy” imho. Vids have become “Live technology centric”. Get on the water, tape myself casting/catching but make viewers stare at the Live Scope through the whole thing, post video, done. Many creators are still doing more than forcing us to stare at their Live Scope etc but they are the few.
Aaron you are exactly what the fishing industry needs! All these bassholes don’t care about the fish, they cared about making $$ in tournaments and killing fish with weigh ins. I love how you point out how two faced they all are. Are they worried about the future of fishing or the future of their bank accounts?
How does encouraging lots of new people to fish with very little skill or knowledge help the industry? I've seen more fish die by idiot anglers recently than ever before. Him sharing waters out in our parks and hidey holes has done more damage to those areas than any 100 other anglers. I've never seen Manitoba waters fished and treated with such disregard and people just wanna make videos of all these great spots and how to crush fish there. For the price of a few fishing licenses we sacrificed our environment. All good if ur there for the crowds and not the fish.
The edits and content are approaching master level. You’re hitting your stride. I don’t even want to know how many hours went into this. I’ll just say thanks
Aaron I'm truly impressed by your journey navigating the ethics of recreational angling over the years. All of us get there, some faster than others. The edits of the bass guys realizing the impact and talking about it needs to be echoed across the internet because its the fuckin truth. Thank you for using your platform for good educational content. I speak from higher education in the field of fisheries management and environmental ethics: in the end its all animal cruelty for personal pleasure unless you are aiming to harvest and consume fish from a well managed fishery. The only ethical way to enjoy angling is to treat fisheries as a sustainable natural resource, just as our ancestors did. There is nothing wrong with FFS as long as it is used to that end and not to constantly target and harass trophy fish while they are spawning or hiding. Anything else is contrived anthropocentric mental gymnastics to justify cruel and disrespectful behavior. The modern industry driven push for recreational angling, the fake macho outdoorsman pop culture that comes with it, and the bullshit "science" that supports it as a conservation movement is just greenwashed profiteering. We all need to realize this and stop playing into the hand of the industry.
@@mikev4654 not comparable at all. Being able to pick and choose which fish you want to catch based off of size is not fair chase. Would be comparable to using a drone to find animals while hunting.
@joshwagner5414 anglers been doing that for years with regular 2D and DI sonar. If I'm sharp shooting big walleye I'm not dropping down unless I see bigger marks, I don't have FFS.
Love your stuff, Aaron. Killer day on the water by the way. Great work. I love how you focused your criticism on: (1) the hypocrisy of "the older guys" on technology and many other things, such as with Kevin VanDam and many others who profited greatly from pushing product that they all of the sudden have issues with, and (2) the subject of guys who think FFS makes you a better angler vs. guys who think it makes you more incompetent due to reliance on tech. You're a great fisherman, and so for you the use of FFS augments your abilities. However, there are also lots of guys out there using FFS to catch fish that are complete dunderheads without the tech (guides included). Although I think these two key points are great in your video, I also think that the focus of the FFS discussion should be about how the ever-increasing use of FFS technology will impact the fisheries. You touch on this a bit in the video, but it's anecdotal observations and opinions (either for or against). More FFS usage means more fish being caught, more handling of fish, more mishandling of fish, more delayed mortality of fish (especially hot water temp and/or deep-caught fish), more harvest of fish, more social media content creation showing its use (just like you're doing), bringing further attention to the fish, the list goes on and on. All of this brings increasing pressure onto the fish, which is not good. It's not rocket science. You're acting in your self interest creating this content, just like Kevin VanDam and the others did in the past when they were doing their things. I understand what some of the older guys are saying regarding how FFS (and other technologies) "shortcuts" anglers (especially younger ones) with regards to their knowledge and how it's developed. I'm not saying this is bad, but I understand where they're coming from. This in turn changes how the average FFS fisherman thinks. As an example, most content creators don't talk about taking care of the resource and protecting it. That includes you sometimes. For example, this video here was about showcasing your performance at a walleye tournament through the use of FFS. Not once did you talk about conservation in the video or your efforts to do so. I thought you did great releasing the walleye quickly, but you need to emphasize that and talk about it, especially since you have a large audience. Became a champion for that, too, not just for FFS discussion. We know you care about it, so do it in each video with at least a mention.
I just got back from my guiding season and saw I missed an Uncut Video... had to click immediately. Incredible video.... hypocrisy is real... and it is negative. You know what else is negative? Driving down an interstate with children in the vehicle while filming a video! Couldn't belive that footage! Second point.... I use FFSand I still suck at fishing. My platform shoes don't make me tall either. Technology has limits to what it can compensate for. And finally, thanks for the Nates Baits mention near the end. I thought I recognized that shiner.
I'm not a fan of live sonar...but this was an absolutely tremendous video! Amazing job splicing all that footage. Definitely appreciate the "catch- pic- release" method of tournament fishing. Great job... Glad to see you're doing well!

I'll be honest I have never used one, but ever since it came out I haven't been a big fan of how much it reveals and it's changes it is making to fishing. I do believe that LiveScope used on a large scale by a large percentage of anglers will have damaging effects on some fisheries, i could be wrong. But if you don't think so, you can go back a couple years to a Jay Siemens video were he did a demo of the LiveScope, after he used the LiveScope he concluded that regulations will have to be changed to adapt to the new reality, and that new reality is it will be easier to find fish and target them more precisely. Im not sure if Jay would say the same thing now that the controversy has blown up, but his 1st take if im remembering correclty was this is gonna require regulation changes so the fisheries are kept in good shape.
Aaron's video this winter on picking through a Crappie school is a good demonstration on how you can really take advantage of the information LiveScope provides.
So as long as we are having an honest convo about the possible negative side effects of LiveScope, I am here for both sides and what has to be said.
When you hooked the shiner up all I could think was “a shiner ate my shiner” 😂😂😂😂
Great to see an upload from you !!
We use to watch/follow fisherman channels here to learn more. The electronics that have arrived over the years have never impacted the learning content but that changed with the arrival of live technology. Slight exaggeration- Most creators have become “lazy” imho. Vids have become “Live technology centric”. Get on the water, tape myself casting/catching but make viewers stare at the Live Scope through the whole thing, post video, done.
Many creators are still doing more than forcing us to stare at their Live Scope etc but they are the few.
The editing on this video is "better than its ever been"
Another outstanding video Aaron ! Good job and happy to see you back !
Aaron you are exactly what the fishing industry needs! All these bassholes don’t care about the fish, they cared about making $$ in tournaments and killing fish with weigh ins. I love how you point out how two faced they all are. Are they worried about the future of fishing or the future of their bank accounts?
How does encouraging lots of new people to fish with very little skill or knowledge help the industry? I've seen more fish die by idiot anglers recently than ever before. Him sharing waters out in our parks and hidey holes has done more damage to those areas than any 100 other anglers. I've never seen Manitoba waters fished and treated with such disregard and people just wanna make videos of all these great spots and how to crush fish there. For the price of a few fishing licenses we sacrificed our environment. All good if ur there for the crowds and not the fish.
The best video on RUclips right now.
This pure gold! You are a true master!
Was looking at your channel to see if i had missed anything just the other day! Welcome back
This was a masterpiece collaboration 🔥
Wow! Really really well edited video. I really enjoyed this.
What an excellent video. The king has a name, and hes back.
What an excellent video. Glad to see you back.
Now that ….. was absolutely
Aaaaawwwwsssooommmeee !!!! That’s a new level of cooking on Randy you couldn’t of done it better
Jaron Clinch in an uncut video before gta 6
they cut off the best parts of his cameos tho... was waiting for the punchline parts and they didnt come...
This video is so good. So informative and funny. Amazing video
The edits and content are approaching master level. You’re hitting your stride. I don’t even want to know how many hours went into this. I’ll just say thanks
I think what I've learned here, is that technology has also helped identify hypocrisy. I love the video and appreciate the work that went into it.
Aaron I'm truly impressed by your journey navigating the ethics of recreational angling over the years. All of us get there, some faster than others. The edits of the bass guys realizing the impact and talking about it needs to be echoed across the internet because its the fuckin truth. Thank you for using your platform for good educational content. I speak from higher education in the field of fisheries management and environmental ethics: in the end its all animal cruelty for personal pleasure unless you are aiming to harvest and consume fish from a well managed fishery. The only ethical way to enjoy angling is to treat fisheries as a sustainable natural resource, just as our ancestors did. There is nothing wrong with FFS as long as it is used to that end and not to constantly target and harass trophy fish while they are spawning or hiding. Anything else is contrived anthropocentric mental gymnastics to justify cruel and disrespectful behavior. The modern industry driven push for recreational angling, the fake macho outdoorsman pop culture that comes with it, and the bullshit "science" that supports it as a conservation movement is just greenwashed profiteering. We all need to realize this and stop playing into the hand of the industry.
Well said!
Imo ffs takes away the fair chase aspect
@@joshwagner5414 just like the internal combustion engine, fish cant outswim you now
@@mikev4654 not comparable at all. Being able to pick and choose which fish you want to catch based off of size is not fair chase. Would be comparable to using a drone to find animals while hunting.
@joshwagner5414 anglers been doing that for years with regular 2D and DI sonar. If I'm sharp shooting big walleye I'm not dropping down unless I see bigger marks, I don't have FFS.
Still just glad you’re alive.
Finallly I’ve beeen waitinggg 🎣🎣
Love your stuff, Aaron. Killer day on the water by the way. Great work. I love how you focused your criticism on: (1) the hypocrisy of "the older guys" on technology and many other things, such as with Kevin VanDam and many others who profited greatly from pushing product that they all of the sudden have issues with, and (2) the subject of guys who think FFS makes you a better angler vs. guys who think it makes you more incompetent due to reliance on tech. You're a great fisherman, and so for you the use of FFS augments your abilities. However, there are also lots of guys out there using FFS to catch fish that are complete dunderheads without the tech (guides included).
Although I think these two key points are great in your video, I also think that the focus of the FFS discussion should be about how the ever-increasing use of FFS technology will impact the fisheries. You touch on this a bit in the video, but it's anecdotal observations and opinions (either for or against). More FFS usage means more fish being caught, more handling of fish, more mishandling of fish, more delayed mortality of fish (especially hot water temp and/or deep-caught fish), more harvest of fish, more social media content creation showing its use (just like you're doing), bringing further attention to the fish, the list goes on and on. All of this brings increasing pressure onto the fish, which is not good. It's not rocket science. You're acting in your self interest creating this content, just like Kevin VanDam and the others did in the past when they were doing their things.
I understand what some of the older guys are saying regarding how FFS (and other technologies) "shortcuts" anglers (especially younger ones) with regards to their knowledge and how it's developed. I'm not saying this is bad, but I understand where they're coming from. This in turn changes how the average FFS fisherman thinks. As an example, most content creators don't talk about taking care of the resource and protecting it. That includes you sometimes. For example, this video here was about showcasing your performance at a walleye tournament through the use of FFS. Not once did you talk about conservation in the video or your efforts to do so. I thought you did great releasing the walleye quickly, but you need to emphasize that and talk about it, especially since you have a large audience. Became a champion for that, too, not just for FFS discussion. We know you care about it, so do it in each video with at least a mention.
Great video! The editing you did to make this is unreal!
Miss you brother! Still my favorite fishing page
This Best Video of 2024!
Phoenix is the absolute best fishing dog ever.
I just got back from my guiding season and saw I missed an Uncut Video... had to click immediately.
Incredible video.... hypocrisy is real... and it is negative. You know what else is negative? Driving down an interstate with children in the vehicle while filming a video! Couldn't belive that footage!
Second point.... I use FFSand I still suck at fishing. My platform shoes don't make me tall either. Technology has limits to what it can compensate for.
And finally, thanks for the Nates Baits mention near the end. I thought I recognized that shiner.
Wow. Amazing video. The editing?! Uncut Angling is the real deal. Thanks for deciding to set the path you have!
I'm not a fan of live sonar...but this was an absolutely tremendous video! Amazing job splicing all that footage.
Definitely appreciate the "catch- pic- release" method of tournament fishing.
Great job... Glad to see you're doing well!
The "Whats gonna be next?" At the end was perfect
Young men are better than ever. AND WILL CONTINUE TOO BE DOMINANT. No matter the circumstances.
