Ive been to Lake fork twice. I hooked a bass on a red rattle trap and it pulled so hard that it straightened my hooks out. My partner took a swipe at it and missed it. I talked to the local guide and he said you have to beef up your crank baits with double rings. My best estimate was that bass was 13+
It's nothing but video game fishing now. Watch these guys, they spend the day on the bow looking down at a screen all day. Calling this out will bring out the cries of a 12 year old that just had their cell phone taken away at the dinner table. Very soon their only fans will be other anglers and electronic companies. They are destroying a once great sport.
Love the coverage and fish catching. Lots of action and the skill level being displayed is great. I fish walleye tourneys and it’s much different in many ways. Good job to BASS and all involved in this production.
30 million bass anglers. $60 billion dollar industry. That $60 billion is going to shrink SIGNIFICANTLY, in a short period of time. With radar, you only need 6 or 7 baits to be successful. The major bait, Rod, Reel, bobber, hook, etc… manufacturers are going to scale back production, and quick! Got to any bait shop and look at the dust on a Long A, a Storm wiggle wart, a Gene Larew bait if any kind, all of the baits that made this sport as great as it is/was…. $125k boats or your not competitive…. No fishing skills required, just a LOT of money! SHAME on the current promoters only talking about “big bags and radar”!! But lots of cool Tik Tok views! Congratulations!
I love how the abbreviation is FFS because whenever I see someone defending its use in the comments I say "For F*cks sake". Bassmaster probably wont ban it because of the sponsorship money and its sad. Long gone are the days where knowledge ruled. Now its dudes driving around sweeping their transducer back and forth. I dont blame the guys... they gotta do it to compete but I fear for the future of bass fishing as a whole. Ive seen dudes dropping 25lb to 30lb bags on local john boat tournaments... The shit is wild and out of hand.
At first I wasn’t sure what all the fuss was about, but now I see it. This FFS shit has gotta go, it’s incredibly boring to watch and it’s doing unnecessary damage to our fisheries.
Love livescope tournaments
New rule! Anyone that says "let's go" loses their fishing license for a year.
New rule: We don't tell people how they can celebrate a big catch

Six pound bass on that lake can do that. Florida strain bass are a different kind of mean. So incredible.
Live Scope is not fishing. Running around with your trolling motor looking for dots is not fishing.
I have been out of the bass fishing world for at decade but in my opinion...all of these electronics are a cheat code for those that can not fish.
I agree, but you gotta do what you must when everyone else on the lake is running around with one and you’re looking to win a tournament.
@@auden999 which is exactly why they should be banned in tournaments
Love livescope tournament

I would love to see their results if they had to follow State of Texas law and bring them to a weigh in.
Bassmasters has turned into Twitch, we’re watching someone play a video game lol

Trouble is, all those big fish under 8lbs are slot fish and you could not weigh them in a normal lake fork tourney.

Go rivet💪

Taylor Sarah Williams Sharon Davis Eric
Why is everyone so mad in the comments lol
This is pretty boring shit. Sad but they’d be no where without spot lighting lol
Too high tech electronics kill the real skills off fi
shing...
I really can't stand watching FFS on B.A.S.S. . B.A.S.S. you are losing a fan and a viewer.
