Glad you enjoyed it!

I just posted about it! Limiting Live Sonar Transducers: Competitors are restricted to one FFS (live sonar) transducer, mounted on the trolling motor at the bow of the boat. A vetted list of acceptable transducers will be provided. 2. Screen Size Restrictions: Total screen size for head units on boats is limited to 55 inches to reduce safety concerns caused by potential blind spots. 3. Single Electric Motor Rule: Only one electric motor is allowed per boat, no more (trolling motor brakes)

No problem, for any bass fishing tournament, you’re legally allowed to bring in largemouth, or smallmouth and some locations where they are spotted bass/Alabama bass you are allowed to bring them in as well as long as they are of legal size 😊

Oh shit that’s a much better comparison!

true

Thank you sir!!! Paddle fish are crazy!!!

These are by far my favorite conversations to record! I’m so glad to get back to this and away from the drama stuff 😊

It sounds like your trip had its ups and downs-I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the area, but it's unfortunate that your time on the water was so stressful. Safety on the lake is definitely a big concern, and I completely agree that there's no excuse for reckless behavior out there. Everyone deserves to have fun, but it should never come at the expense of others' safety or peace of mind. Hopefully, the next time you're out on the water, it's a much smoother experience, and you get to enjoy some quality fishing time. Thanks for sharing your experience-it's a good reminder for everyone to stay safe and considerate on the lake.

That's awesome! The Coleman Crawdad is a classic, and it's impressive that you've been using it since '95. They’re incredibly versatile boats, and you're right-you can really customize them to fit your needs. Whether it's adding a trolling motor, modifying the seating, or rigging up some rod holders, there’s a lot you can do to make it your own.

You're very welcome! If you have any more questions or some other topic let me know!

agreed!

That sounds like an awesome setup! Fishing the electric reservoirs with a custom Jon boat must be a great experience, especially with the peaceful environment those places offer. The Upper Susquehanna is also a fantastic spot, and having a kayak with a Torqueedo motor gives you the best of both worlds-quiet paddling and the ability to cover more water efficiently. What kind of fish are you usually targeting in those areas?

Thank you so much for your support! It’s awesome to hear from a fellow angler in Lynchburg, VA! I'm thrilled that you're enjoying the podcast and finding it helpful for DMV fishing info. If you ever have any topics or questions you'd like us to cover, feel free to let me know. Tight lines! 🎣

I wonder who coined that phrase? 😜

Thank you sir 😁

I agree they just need to polygraph the coaches as well

If you actually listen to the episode all the way through you would know the conclusion reached which is the correct one is that Trey is not guilty of anything. My point was about how professional organizations should approach the broader idea of Fishing Coach. While Trey’s achievements are impressive and undeniable, the conversation about coaching in professional fishing is bigger and there should be a conversation about it.

@@fishingthedmv you're right I didn't watch the whole episode. I'd go back and watch the rest but just what you said there was enough for me. Anglers have always had mentors help them along. The only difference here is that Trey actually acknowledges him as his coach. Most of these elites never made it on their own and will tell you that. As we see the youth movement explode we're gonna see more of this. It's what we've been working for for years.

You don't get it. Trey no longer has a coach. There hasn't been one ever since he got to the elite series. You really need to do research before opening up your hole. How you have this many subscribers breaks my brain. There's two brain cells here both fighting for third place. Actually do research! ​@@fishingthedmv

What you're saying is factually incorrect

I appreciate your perspective and understand where you're coming from. Mentorship has always been a significant part of any sport, including fishing, and there's no doubt that having someone guide and support you can make a huge difference in an angler's career. Acknowledging that relationship openly, as Trey does with his coach, is commendable and sets a positive example. The broader conversation isn't about the value of mentorship but about how these relationships are managed in the context of competitive fairness. As the sport evolves and more young anglers come up through the ranks, it’s important to have clear guidelines to ensure that everyone competes on an even playing field. This is especially true as the distinction between a mentor and a coach can sometimes blur, particularly when it comes to sharing information or strategies. Your point about the youth movement in fishing is well taken-it's exciting to see the next generation stepping up, and with them, the sport will continue to grow and adapt. As this happens, it's crucial that we maintain a balance between honoring the traditional mentor-mentee relationships and ensuring the integrity of the competition. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I hope you'll consider watching the rest of the episode to get the full context of the discussion.

The idea that fishing should remain a "gentlemen's sport" without the need for referees in the boat is an admirable sentiment rooted in tradition. However, the reality of modern competitive fishing, particularly at the professional level, presents challenges that necessitate a more structured approach. As the sport has evolved, so too has the level of competition. With higher stakes-such as significant monetary rewards, sponsorship deals, and media exposure-comes the potential for increased pressure on anglers. This pressure can, unfortunately, lead to situations where the "gentlemen's rules" are overlooked or misinterpreted. The introduction of referees in the boat isn't about undermining the integrity or spirit of the sport; rather, it's about ensuring fairness, consistency, and transparency in a high-stakes environment. Additionally, having referees in the boat can protect the reputation of the sport and its participants. When common sense or unwritten rules are violated-whether intentionally or unintentionally-it can lead to controversy, which in turn can harm the sport's image and the public's trust. Referees serve as impartial arbiters, ensuring that the competition is conducted fairly and that any disputes are resolved promptly and objectively. while the notion of fishing as a "gentlemen's sport" is noble, the realities of professional competition make the presence of referees a necessary evolution. Their role ensures fairness, maintains the sport's integrity, and supports its continued growth in a modern, high-stakes environment. Unwritten rules can create several problems, particularly in competitive environments: Inconsistency: Unwritten rules are open to interpretation, leading to inconsistent application. What one person considers fair might be viewed differently by another, creating confusion and potential conflicts. Lack of Accountability: Without clear, written rules, it's difficult to hold participants accountable. If there's no official standard, enforcing rules becomes subjective, which can lead to disputes and resentment. Unfair Advantage: Those with more experience or knowledge of these unwritten rules might gain an unfair advantage over others, especially newcomers who aren't aware of these informal guidelines. Increased Disputes: Unwritten rules often lead to more disputes because there’s no clear reference point. Disagreements can escalate when participants have different understandings of what’s considered acceptable behavior. Hinders Growth: For a sport or activity to grow and attract new participants, there needs to be clear, transparent guidelines. Relying on unwritten rules can make it difficult for new participants to feel confident and welcome, potentially hindering the growth and development of the sport.

As you can tell, I got one too many concussions from football
