I have been watching the old Bassmaster Classics from the 1980s. That real. Bass fishing. Young guns don't know what they are missing. Old hand written score board, good times back then.
The sport is already ruined. The fact is that the popularity of FFS is growing and you already can't compete in tournaments without it. The technology continues to progress. Bottom line is that if you choose to resist it, you will be nothing more than a recreational angler. I gave up on my tournament angler dreams about a year ago because I refuse to give in to this garbage. Now I just tie on a big swimbait and go trophy hunting. I'm sickened by the amount of people on youtube making bass fishing videos that can barely even cast properly. But they have their fancy electronics and they're catching fish and making money doing it. It's sad.
Nobody really mentions bed fishing lol. What's worse seeing bass on a screen and maybe getting it to bite or seeing a big female trying to make babies and getting jerked off her bed and hauled 75 miles to weigh in.
@@MSL-dv6nx popularity is growing, which shows just how many people out there have poor fishing skills & will resort to cheating to "catch" fish...very disturbing & an eye opener at what small % of anglers out there are real fishermen
Randy, most of us who started bass fishing 40+ years ago agree with you. We learned all of those skills, techniques, time of year, temperature, water clarity, etc., etc, etc, from thousands of hours on the water. We can't stop technology from advancing the sport of bass fishing. The tournament organizations will have to determine the technology that can be used in competition. It's time for us to stop talking about it and let it run its course. Hopefully, the right decisions will be made soon.
Randy, you used the word integrity. Resisting the temptation to use (and sell for profit)Toxic Lead fishing lures also speaks to one’s integrity. Would you agree?
I'm just happy that the people against FFS are refusing to fish in FFS tournaments. Shows they are not going to participate in the tourneys who allow it. At least you guys are not putting money in their pockets by supporting their tournaments. You are doing the right thing by not fishing FFS tourneys.
Tournament directors could have tournaments that allow FFS then have other tournaments that don't. Be specific in the rules or have certain hrs it can be used.
Why choose a side? It spreads the field out and takes some of the pressure off the shallow bass. Trying to live in the past has never really been beneficial throughout the history of mankind. I prefer fishing without it because I love shallow cranking and skipping docks but I have used it to win tournaments. Time on the water is what really seperates the field. Unless ofcourse we're talking about smaller stuff where people buy and trade inflation.
I will never get FFS but the funny thing is when your on the lake and find the pattern with the great teachings of Randy these so called bass anglers leave the lake
It's got to be frustrating spreading fake news day in and day out while knowing that no one is listening...yet...you can't stop because the followers may go out and explore on their own and find out what they've been told isn't the whole truth.
Heck they might as well just have tournaments at bass pro shops in their fish tanks, it just doesn’t seem like real fishing with this technology not fun to watch at all…
Randy, what is the “higher purpose” that you seek & demonstrate by selling toxic lead fishing tackle? Did you mean higher income? Is that your higher purpose? We all think you can reach higher.
I got an idea, do some old school fishing against live scopers under different conditions. (non lives scope) fishing is under represented on the Internet, and constitutes the majority of fisherman. It could shine a light on the advantages of becoming a well rounded fisherman.
No Randy. I been told you. Boycott, boycott, boycott. Make it be known- Use ffs and you fail. No clicks, no views, no likes, no share, no sales. Open your ears or kiss it goodbye.
Good point. The vast majority of tournament fishermen are not making any money after expenses. "Professional" tournament fishing has become a very expensive hobby. People who do not have the resources are being ruined financially trying to become a pro. Enty fees can be put to use to actually earn a return on investment. The $20,000 - $40,000 in electronics as well.. Then you can keep an eye on your investments and just go fun fishing using some basic electronics with GPS and your accumulated knowlege and insticts. However, this will not work for those who's egos require weigh-in ceremonies and "pro" status.
Randy do a video about Todd’s castledines video him claiming that live scope has zero effect on lakes because guntersville produced such big bags lately but he failed to mention that those fish were caught WITH LIVESCOPE. Go and give it a watch
Jackson ur as bad as Randy. He's such a hypocrite. He's out here making money by using advanced technologies and clearly can't compete anymore on using the methods of fishing he would prefer so He's trashing FFs technologies. And clearly u didn't get what Todd was saying
Randy, I have followed you for years, and enjoy your tip videos. I understand your against FFS, but defining them as cheater boxes, is not accurate...the competitors are not cheating in anyway. If I am wrong please show me the rule they are violating. Classifying those that use FFS as not real bass fisherman is also not accurate. You sound like a politician stating the same inaccurate facts over, and over, and over, and over....wait for it....and over and over again. You posted a video that regarding the fact that the maximum screen size was changed because they LISTENED to their customers which you preach day in and day out. Then you talked about how great the NPFL was going to be is they did not allow FFS....they chose to not allow it, but to my knowledge you haven't signed up for it. If a business doesn't adapt to the world around them, they close...happens every single day. These tournament trails are businesses and they are going to do what they feel is best for their business. We all have the option to take our business elsewhere, but to continually bash them for not doing what you feel is best makes you look bad. I hope you keep the FFs videos to a minimum, you had a good 3-4 weeks without the FFS ranting in every video and it was great.
The next thing will be underwater drone lures - not connected by wire( fishing line) - but operated by remote controller like Playstation using wireless Blutooth- The lure will send out a sonar signal that will alert the lure if there is a fish nearby- the lure will move towards the fish and generate action that will piss the Bass off enough that he will grab it- the Control box on your boat will Ping and show FishOn! - then just retrieve lure back towards the boat and grab it with your net-
Why do we have to chooose sides ? All fishermen and women have right to choose what kind of fish and how they do it. Why are you trying to cause divition.
The Devision of Marine Fisheries or local DNR will likely step in eventually. They could say “Dumb down the electronics within the bass fishing rule book and create competition standards across the board for all tourneys, or drop the limit to 2-fish per day. If the creel limit was dropped to two fish per day then the bass orgs might enforce real competitive bass rules again. I fish the ocean, however I see everyone’s point.
Almost won angler of the year in a local circuit without a fish finder on my front deck! Was tied going into the last tournament. The X series in northeast Ohio!
This is why girls wont play in womens volleyball tourneys who have men. They stand up for what they believe even if it means not playing. As long as us non FFS people refuse to fish based on our principles, people will respect us. Some people will bitch and complain and then fish in FFS tourneys and give them income. Shame on them.
Randy, could you repost this video and replace each instance of you saying “FFS” with the words “Toxic Lead” instead? Fight the good fight, take a stand, do the right thing and stop selling toxic lead.
Same BS, different day Randy. Ive yet to see you actually set the hook on a fish. We all have come to the conclusion that youre doing the whole UA-cam thing for money. Upload a video of you doing nothing but hooksets and itll probably get 136k views. But this time actually record the action, dont do what you did in that one pathetic video where you showed pictures of supposedly caught fish. 🤣 Like I have said before. I caught plenty of fish when i didn't have ffs and could still catch fish without it. All the clowns that claim that people who use ffs dont have any skills are delusional.
Every time i see a video of someone using FFS it literally makes me sick to my stomach. These fake fisherman have no morals, no integrity, no concern or care for fish or fisheries. It's just me,me,me and what they can do to make things easier for themselves and land big fish they otherwise would never catch. Watched a video yesterday of a guy who said he caught 1 10 pound bass his entire life before using FFS, after using it for almost 3 years he had caught over a 100 10 pounders, and dozens of fish in the teens. And this guy is promoting FFS like its the best thing on earth. Its disgraceful and i dont understand how he can even be proud of those numbers, and i wonder how many of those huge old fish died after being caught by him.
I consider forward facing sonar similar to digital effects of movies. Before digital effects, movies along with actors were amazing and more nostalgic. After DE movies changed entirely and a good actor creating a mind blowing character is a thing of the past. I don’t think you will be able to stop the effects of FFS so, good bye Al Pacino and hello to whomever plays those characters in the Avatar movies! 😂
Just watched a guy using FFS having to use a fizzing tool because he was catching them in 80 feet of water. All fish were over 5 pounds and I bet they all died. It’s a shame.
For non FFS’ers… Derby has to be one day with a 3 fish limit and the Angler better pick up a frog or a glide bait and go to town if he wants to have a chance!
They all died , there is no doubt about it ! And it is terrible , every fish they catch deep dies and then people ask me how is it harming fishing , those 5 pounders will not lay anymore eggs cause of some idiot wants to catch all Giants in very deep water cause he can see em with his cheater box ; Now is this doing anything for our fisheries ? The answer is Hell No
Seen a video yesterday of a guy who had caught 1 10 pound bass his entire life. After using FFS for a few years, he has caught over 100 10 pounders and dozens of fish in the teens. And he was bragging about it! Made me sick, and guarantee at least half of those fish probably died due to being caught in deep water.
I’ll say this I’ve been in the Gulf of Mexico fishing for one species that was Open season to keep like a red snapper and hooked amberjacks that were not in season and had to throw em back I’ve Fizzed in my lifetime a ton and they all died , if I hooked one I would move to a different spot trying not to catch the wrong fish that the season was closed , Fizzing does not work and idc if you try spearing em head first back into the water or not they end up popping up behind the boat floating
This video sounded like the speech Kamala burped up between drinks. Word salads like this are why we get together with friends every year over the holidays to celebrate with a Blaukat drinking game. Watching Randy’s videos with friends is like watching the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” … predictable to the point of being funny. Adding alcohol for each mention of “Hellbender”, “Cheater Box”, “Sustainability” or any time he compares bass to people makes for a hilarious evening. Can’t wait for an episode on backreeling or another useless lure color video. Keep the hits coming, Randy. Can’t wait for our party.
They said drag racing would live forever too in the 60' s and 70's after being warned that factory big money, and freak cars like funny cars replaced grass roots, small time drag racers. I was there and saw it. I went to see my buddies race and not see big money freak cars. RIP small town drag racing. Professional fishing is heading that way.
Well R.B. in terms of free enterpirse & capitalism, FFS has been great for your financial bottom line. So good job at siezing the moment for monetary gain. Of course you'll dismiss this view point and spin your narrative. Regardless.... the money spends the same.
Its already too late randy. I know you dont want to. You just have to. Just like they will have to choose their side. Youre taking too long. We are loosing.
Next generation is gonna have AI that finds and follows the fish, then lures that move themselves like baitfish. Fishing for them is gonna be reeling in fish and nothing else.
Hey guys this dude is making his money not winning tournaments fishing. He is making his money off of pissing off a few people on FFS and keeping crap stirred up on facebook.. I hope you all realize that every time you click on one of his videos to watch, comment or complain you are adding to his money earned and paid by facebook or youtube. Wise up and stop supporting the stirring of the shit pot
you're missing the key element that the fish still have to bite which is out of our control!!! Deer being led to food plot, while youre hiding in a blind and then shoot at them is not the same! #nicetry
Views are low and you complain about it in a video, time to whip out the FFS talk to get some views. Why not acknowledge that there are guys that are better than you at fishing that also happen to use it in occasion? It’s getting ridiculous that simply having one on your boat would make someone so bold as to assume you do t have any skill at all when in fact you could have half a dozen world records to your name and over a hundred double digit sized bass before FFS came out.
Unfortunately scopeadoping is here to stay! I will never agree with it in a tournament setting. Do I have scopeadoping tech at this point? No. Will I ever get scoping tech in the future? Maybe… As most of us lazy anglers we want the easy way out! Scopeadoping is the easy way out!
I started fishing in September when I realized I am retired for now. I have watched thousand of hours of youtube and have only caught 1 fish. Yes I am a pathetic fisherman but I would love to be able to have a boat with ffs for 1 week just to feel what it is like to catch fish
You'd be bored, trust me. I cannot explain how unexciting and unsatisfying it is to see a fish on a screen, put a lure in front it, and watch it eat it. I went out. Our boater followed a small mouth for 45 minutes until it was literally exhausted and gave up. He pulled up that half dead fish without a fight and was excited it was 4lbs. Pathetic, and extremely unfun. You're lucky to be working for the fish you get. Believe me when I say all joy is taken from the catch with FFS. It's shooting fish in a barrel.
Also stop watching YT and spend thousands of hours on the water, you'll have better luck. Randy is pretty smart, but at least 70% of UA-camrs are talking out of their a$$
@mikeandrade586 I do spend all the time I can on the banks of a couple of rivers around here. I am learning a lot by trial and error. I don't want to fish ffs on a regular basis I just want to know what it feels like to catch a fish. I have only caught 1 sense September. Like I said I just want to know what a real strike feels like.
@@ronaldaldridge801 You got a real strike in Sept. Any strike you'd get on FFS wouldn't be real. I spent my first year fishing skunking every day. Years later I catch every time I go out. It's worth the trial and error. Those strikes you're getting are FAR more real than anything there "pros" are pulling up.
You wouldn't catch them with FFS. Don't be fooled by the nonsense coming out of Randy's mouth and others in this comment section. This idea of "drop the transducer in the water and you're catching em!" is complete BS. Time on the water means everything in becoming a good bass angler. Get out as much as you can, and keep your head up and you'll get there brother 👍
Was it cheating Randy when you used a flasher, a fish finder, a graph mapper or a thermometer, all to know where the bass were hanging out? Was it cheating to develop techniques that elicited bites or develop baits that mimic livebait to trigger more bites? What about lines that were made so bass couldn't see them, or stretched less to have a better chance of actually boating one such as braided lines? Just because you can see them doesn't mean you can catch them, does it? You sound like the people that complained about cars replacing the horse, electric lights replacing gas lamps etc, etc. Instead of complaining and moaning, why not teach us how to actually use ffs so those that want to enter the profession have a better understanding of its usage, so they too can one day hawk the electronics wares that helped you put fish in your boat and make a living as you did? Honestly if you did that you'd serve your viewers 1000% better than you do complaining about the technology that has passed you by and won't be going anywhere soon. The weekend warriors dont want to see millions of cast just to see a1-3lber. They can do that all day long themselves on any day on any body of water they fish. Remember the old adage, the customer is always right and if you continue to bemoan the usage of modern electronics, you'll find yourself out of business like the horse and gas lights.
He just wants to cry like a woman for the views. Says he hates the technology so much but uses technology to post his cry fest and ask people to buy tackle using his link.
@@andybales7318I’ve come to the conclusion that you are actually Randy running a ghost account. No one could be so devoted to another person they actually don’t even know.
Bags caught during ANY tournament from beamers with FFS units get absolutely ZERO respect from me. None. Never will. The one at Wheeler, the Yota championship, who cares. I was so rooting Poche and how he caught em. Frogs in less than a foot of water. Let's go. THAT'S exciting to me. 21 year old panner that won, you'll never hear about it again.
I don’t like FFS. I refuse to use it. I can afford it but it’s truly cheating. These younger guys on tour don’t know how to fish without it. Put them on a lake with only a depth finder and they are lost. They have no natural fishing skills. It’s sad what this sport has become. If a UA-cam fishing video is about FFS I will not watch it. Same with a bass tournament on tv where that’s the way they are catching them. I never give up hope it gets stopped from being used.
I have been watching the old Bassmaster Classics from the 1980s. That real. Bass fishing. Young guns don't know what they are missing. Old hand written score board, good times back then.
The sport is already ruined. The fact is that the popularity of FFS is growing and you already can't compete in tournaments without it. The technology continues to progress.

Me too, swimbait, spinnerbait &Jig Lookin for biguns!
I suck at fishing, but will never get a ffs set up. Not for me. I'd rather learn the old way. Trial and error. Lots and lots of errors. Lol
Randy, can you define “a real bass fisherman??”
Randy, most of us who started bass fishing 40+ years ago agree with you. We learned all of those skills, techniques, time of year, temperature, water clarity, etc., etc, etc, from thousands of hours on the water. We can't stop technology from advancing the sport of bass fishing.

At least you guys are not putting money in their pockets by supporting their tournaments. You are doing the right thing by not fishing FFS tourneys.

Why is your jig so expensive?
Tournament directors could have tournaments that allow FFS then have other tournaments that don't. Be specific in the rules or have certain hrs it can be used.
I agree 100% Randy
One more question, so if one has FFS, are they automatically forbidden to help fisheries environmentally??
Why choose a side? It spreads the field out and takes some of the pressure off the shallow bass. Trying to live in the past has never really been beneficial throughout the history of mankind. I prefer fishing without it because I love shallow cranking and skipping docks but I have used it to win tournaments. Time on the water is what really seperates the field. Unless ofcourse we're talking about smaller stuff where people buy and trade inflation.
I will never get FFS but the funny thing is when your on the lake and find the pattern with the great teachings of Randy these so called bass anglers leave the lake
Well said!
It's really simple. Non FFS tournament trails will prevail if there is a market for it. Seems there is, and within a year or two we'll know.
It's got to be frustrating spreading fake news day in and day out while knowing that no one is listening...yet...you can't stop because the followers may go out and explore on their own and find out what they've been told isn't the whole truth.

Oh well. At least the country will be MUCH better off after the election.
It comes down to who is the best livscoper.
No Randy. I been told you. Boycott, boycott, boycott. Make it be known- Use ffs and you fail. No clicks, no views, no likes, no share, no sales. Open your ears or kiss it goodbye.
My strategy for surviving it is to put all the entry fee money into oil, uranium, and metals miners that pay good dividends and just fun fish.

@@TimandVic-yy3yc Have you ever heard the saying, "it is best to have people think you are a fool than to open your mouth and prove you are a fool".
@@TimandVic-yy3yc Still hunting them down and popping them. Screw live scope we better starting using twigs then
@@glynnreid1217 no tell me about it 😂
I'm looking for the assisted living bass! Those that are old fat and half way out to pasture yall think they the city bass?
Views are low and you complain about it in a video, time to whip out the FFS talk to get some views. Why not acknowledge that there are guys that are better than you at fishing that also happen to use it in occasion? It’s getting ridiculous that simply having one on your boat would make someone so bold as to assume you do t have any skill at all when in fact you could have half a dozen world records to your name and over a hundred double digit sized bass before FFS came out.
Unfortunately scopeadoping is here to stay! I will never agree with it in a tournament setting. Do I have scopeadoping tech at this point? No. Will I ever get scoping tech in the future? Maybe… As most of us lazy anglers we want the easy way out! Scopeadoping is the easy way out!
I started fishing in September when I realized I am retired for now. I have watched thousand of hours of youtube and have only caught 1 fish. Yes I am a pathetic fisherman but I would love to be able to have a boat with ffs for 1 week just to feel what it is like to catch fish
You'd be bored, trust me. I cannot explain how unexciting and unsatisfying it is to see a fish on a screen, put a lure in front it, and watch it eat it. I went out. Our boater followed a small mouth for 45 minutes until it was literally exhausted and gave up. He pulled up that half dead fish without a fight and was excited it was 4lbs. Pathetic, and extremely unfun. You're lucky to be working for the fish you get. Believe me when I say all joy is taken from the catch with FFS. It's shooting fish in a barrel.
Also stop watching YT and spend thousands of hours on the water, you'll have better luck. Randy is pretty smart, but at least 70% of UA-camrs are talking out of their a$$
@mikeandrade586 I do spend all the time I can on the banks of a couple of rivers around here. I am learning a lot by trial and error. I don't want to fish ffs on a regular basis I just want to know what it feels like to catch a fish. I have only caught 1 sense September. Like I said I just want to know what a real strike feels like.
@@ronaldaldridge801 You got a real strike in Sept. Any strike you'd get on FFS wouldn't be real. I spent my first year fishing skunking every day. Years later I catch every time I go out. It's worth the trial and error. Those strikes you're getting are FAR more real than anything there "pros" are pulling up.
You wouldn't catch them with FFS. Don't be fooled by the nonsense coming out of Randy's mouth and others in this comment section. This idea of "drop the transducer in the water and you're catching em!" is complete BS. Time on the water means everything in becoming a good bass angler. Get out as much as you can, and keep your head up and you'll get there brother 👍
Was it cheating Randy when you used a flasher, a fish finder, a graph mapper or a thermometer, all to know where the bass were hanging out? Was it cheating to develop techniques that elicited bites or develop baits that mimic livebait to trigger more bites? What about lines that were made so bass couldn't see them, or stretched less to have a better chance of actually boating one such as braided lines?
Just because you can see them doesn't mean you can catch them, does it?
You sound like the people that complained about cars replacing the horse, electric lights replacing gas lamps etc, etc.
Instead of complaining and moaning, why not teach us how to actually use ffs so those that want to enter the profession have a better understanding of its usage, so they too can one day hawk the electronics wares that helped you put fish in your boat and make a living as you did? Honestly if you did that you'd serve your viewers 1000% better than you do complaining about the technology that has passed you by and won't be going anywhere soon.
The weekend warriors dont want to see millions of cast just to see a1-3lber. They can do that all day long themselves on any day on any body of water they fish.
Remember the old adage, the customer is always right and if you continue to bemoan the usage of modern electronics, you'll find yourself out of business like the horse and gas lights.
“You kids get off my lawn!”
He just wants to cry like a woman for the views. Says he hates the technology so much but uses technology to post his cry fest and ask people to buy tackle using his link.
Thx for confirming to everyone your low fishing skill level. 👍
@@Bobbysheresomewhere ffs is fake fishing
@@andybales7318I’ve come to the conclusion that you are actually Randy running a ghost account. No one could be so devoted to another person they actually don’t even know.
Pay to win mechanics in real life.
Bags caught during ANY tournament from beamers with FFS units get absolutely ZERO respect from me. None. Never will. The one at Wheeler, the Yota championship, who cares. I was so rooting Poche and how he caught em. Frogs in less than a foot of water. Let's go. THAT'S exciting to me. 21 year old panner that won, you'll never hear about it again.
I don’t like FFS. I refuse to use it. I can afford it but it’s truly cheating. These younger guys on tour don’t know how to fish without it. Put them on a lake with only a depth finder and they are lost. They have no natural fishing skills. It’s sad what this sport has become. If a UA-cam fishing video is about FFS I will not watch it. Same with a bass tournament on tv where that’s the way they are catching
them. I never give up hope it gets stopped from being used.
