Livescope out of hand

[slabseeker]

In looking at the original Bass Tracker logo created over forty years ago, maybe JM was more of a visionary of the future than we knew.   

Bass Tracking with a bass in the crosshairs.  Maybe the next thing.. FFS will lock onto the target fish of preset minimum size, emit a electronic pulse that will stun the target fish causing it to simply float to the surface. No casting required. Crazy right?  or is it....

It has the least amount of impact in a one fish format for a myriad of reasons.

The FFS hysteria can provide some interesting insight into human behavior. 

Background: Drew Gill (current BPT  Pro) and Dakota Ebare (past BPT Pro).

Both guys are young stars and excellent with FFS.

Drew Gill was on a podcast and I left a comment how impressed I was with his fishing approach and that the old school guys need to get with the program.

In a very short period of time I get a very hateful message from Dakota Ebares mother that I am such a FFS hater. 

I did not respond to her.....hopefully she will get beyond the hysteria. 

FFS is educational,  efficient,  and sometimes effective.

So when Josh Jones guides clients and guarantees a double digit fish he doesn’t depend on Livescope??

I watched that.   He's really sharp, for as young as he is.    And makes some extremely valid points......Matter of fact, everything that came out of his mouth was valid.   👍 

Nevertheless, I think the FFS thing needs to go bye-bye.   It isn't a good thing.

When he guides clients there's not 450 other boats competing against him in that moment. He's not leaving his spot multiple times a day to run to weigh in fish in an hourly format. He's not dealing with the strategy at the weigh in about what hour to weigh a fish in and potentially having 30+ other people in the weigh in line at that moment competing with his fish for that hour. I can go on... It's NOT the same and FFS's impact is minimal in that environment.

Gotta disagree. You don’t think people who are good at Livescope can’t tell how big a fish is??? The hourly will change…Big Bass sizes will change. These young kids will start to dominate these events. Mark my words

The good news is we have the data, we aren't guessing.  There's no data supporting your argument unfortunately. Tight lines.

That will change soon my friend. Livescope will rule everything soon and goodbye old data

I absolutely hate the word "data". 🙄
