Last season I was out with a buddy, different boats (Fishing yaks) I'm still on a Humminbird Hook 4. He's on FFS. I see an Osprey dive and pluck a fish out of the lake. I shout to my buddy if he saw that. Didn't even look up from the screen. Just said nope. What an absolutely magnificent sight to behold. SMH.
After a few years of studying and researching bass fishing, I must admit, I do now agree with you Randy. At first I didn’t. But now I finally understand. It truly is ruining our sport.
Welcome to the fold!
I have way too much old school tackle to quit using it for a jig head minnow lol
I added the jig head minnow to my arsenal. It works really well as a search bait for me without ffs 🤷
Share. Lol
Jig & pig is my go to anytime
Amen. My favorite part of fishing nowadays is just finding a quiet place to fish, not keeping up with the Jones
The Hack Attack is an awesome man and fisherman! Like your stories and aslo a very good analogy. God bless!
Bottom line professional bass fishing has become one dimensional.
Its crazy. I have a friend that has all the latest tech and we went fishing recently, most the time he was glued to the screen messing with settings for a upcoming tournwy. And in the back of my mind im like dude, lets just go fishing i hardly go as it is
Some of the best days I've had on the water catching fish all day ,never turned the sonar on .
My mom bowled a perfect game 300 in 1974 in her league. The bowling alley had a daycare room. Some of my earliest childhood memories.
Back when a 300 was a big deal and a 170+ average was good!
Absolutely 💯 agree. Randy is trying to save the unique special aspect of the sport that makes it real and special. People are ruining the sport of bass fishing 🎣 with this unneeded level of technology, just to boost their low egos and make them think they are a "pro" fishermen. Real bass fishing is NOT watching a bass move in real live time under your boat....that is cheating and beyond unfair for the fish. Fishing is a sport of various skills and spotlighting should not be used.
I quit bowling in about 1995 for exactly the reasons you stated. 150 average bowlers now averaging 190-200. My dad shot a 300 in the late 60’s and averaged 200+ with rubber and plastic balls. He quit bowling for years as well.
Same here, man I did the same thing
The lane patterns have more to do with it then the ball.
@ct-ofr yes, same here, there is something to be said for the old Columbia 300 yellow dot. Back then you had to be on your game to carry a high average, and they didn't give out 300 rings like Skittles.
@@stevevukovich6182 Ball manufacturers are designing bowling balls around the lane patterns of today.
There are people I dont fish with because they will bring a boom box and play music all day. I want to hear an animal snap a branch on shore or a loon call out. Hell, I'm married, I need to get away from it all.
I hate when people bring music to the lake.
@@van3158😂 I was that guy.... me and my pops were never taught fishing and his retirement, he got a boat... last year we fished EVERY weekend. I now understand the peace and tranquility that comes with it.... and I think the noise scare the fish away...I think?
“A boom box” 😂
Boom box it’s not 70’s anymore and just because you don’t like music and a sourpuss doesn’t mean everyone else is. We have a 5k system in the crab boat and 15k big boat for offshore bass boat nun. But anyone rolling a ball at pins is just sissy’s who will not pick it up and run man to man. Where you get hit like a man
I bring my Bluetooth speaker with me. I don’t crank it or anything. I try to keep it to a level where you can’t hear it beyond 20-30 feet. I play mostly classical though and some classic rock. I never get skunked either. But on a public lake you really can’t complain if someone has music on their boat.
Excellent comparison.
Its like Nascar .. they made it "better and better" until they ruined it ...
We only just started about 6 months ago but bass fishing has given my 22 year old son and I a great connection (we’re both addicted). We have kayaks and have had good success on the small local nTX. bodies of water but not as much on the larger ones we have tried. On Black Friday, a local retailer had LS at 37% off so I bought it. This summer we hope to fish some lakes way up north (MI) and hope it will help. We catch & release and have 0 tournament aspirations.
I fished kayak tournaments both bass and saltwater tournaments. I walked away from it about a year and half ago. Tight lines
You are correct regarding bowling, don't forget about the synthetic lanes now instead of wood, that is what made them change the cover stock on the balls. I've had two 300 games, one the old technology and one with the new technology. The 2nd one was much easier than the first one. Old technology i carried a 192 average, new technology I carried a 215 average and it wasn't because I changed anything or got that much better, it was the upgrade in technology. I don't bowling anymore, and I won't stoop to using FFS. That's just not why or how I choose to fish. That's just not fishing in my book, keep up the fight Randy!
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!?!?
ok flat brimmer....
@@gregkuhn7123your dad sells flat brim hats in his merchandise store
@@gregkuhn7123no one hates fisherman like other fisherman
I remember you as one of the young guys who took a different route, a flipper who would sink his own boat, to do better! Just shear determination. FFS is in fact a skill, it definitely is a negative influence on newcomers who now believe that it requires thousands of dollars in electronics to get started. A plastic worm or lizard dropped precisely under a bush is really where it starts! Thank you for speaking up!
My favorite tournament footage EVER, is Paul Elias, breaking records on Falcon, with 12" Mann's Jelly Worm. Everything a tournament should be!!!!!!!
I’m 66 and it amazes me to see so many people in their 60s and 70s using FFS on Rayburn these days.
sellouts!!
Yet, Greg deals with it in a different manner. He discuses it with an open mind. This technology affects him personally. He's a professional.
Randy why don’t you quit crying cause you can’t compete with the younger anglers. This process of new technology is nothing new. Everything in life, has changed over the years, not just fishing or bowling. Think about it everything evolves, good or bad, with time.
I'll stick to my creeks and rivers with nobody else around. Smallmouth bass are fun to catch anyway.
i can't bowl very well, but my balls still have the same technology they have always had!
You made the comment about total power in politics, but businesses should be allowed to make choices that they feel are best for their business as long as they are not breaking laws, or putting people at risk, right? You make videos based on your views, and get choose the content you put out....same thing. The one thing we ALL need to remember is that these organizations are businesses, they are in it to make money....if you don't like it, don't support them, DONE! Obliviously by your comments regarding NPFL not getting the traction they should, you understand that there are many more people that disagree with your FFS views, what's the old saying, the proof is in the pudding? Stating that people are selfish because they use FFS is one of the most ignorant things I think I've ever heard you say. I am confused, because a person embraces technology, and uses it within the rules of the sport they are competing in, in no way makes them selfish. As far as the comparison to bowling....FOX Sports reported over 27 million viewers in 2024 and all time high. Looking forward more tip videos, FFS and Drama not so much.
It’s not about ratings. It’s about doing the right thing. It all boils down to people would rather be entertained than educated. Bassmaster, the PBA and other sports organizations are institutions in their own sports and they should set the bar at a higher level. However, due to inept management, those institutions are being degraded by decisions like this.
Me Blaukat is paying his bills by his FFS constant drama theme. When u have been a “bass pro” your whole life and are only 63 and figuring out how to make money…. It’s the best he’s got for income. It’s sad but I would do the same thing for the family income.
Hey brother, don’t be disrespectful! We are all allowed our opinions. Oh and by the way if you would listen, you might learn something! And if you don’t you don’t! But you’re more than welcome to develop your own UA-cam channel! Have a good day!!
Has anyone here watched the podcast by Hank Parker? He detailed the advancement of technology in Bass Fishing. Great information. Not a one dimensional video.
This hits hard! I have already quit Bowling and Hunting because of a leg injury now I have to Quit Fishing it's all I got left! 😢
I would give everything to go back to the seventies.
Then start by giving up your iPhone and computer.
@@MichaelMidgettGladly! Willingly! But I want mid sixties, please 🙏🏽. Thank you
@@sport07-o2l how could you respond then?
I fully expect sonar guided lures that will seek out fish and swim to them sometime in the near future. I've got a friend who is trying to convince me to get forward facing sonar and I don't know how to tell him that I don't want to. I don't want to play a video game while I'm fishing, I want to fish. If I don't catch as many fish on a particular day I want to know what I am doing wrong, I don't want technology to fix the problem for me. It's like DEI for fishing and in the case as you mentioned for bowling as well. It removes the requirement for skill. Basically, everybody gets a trophy.
Worked for Bayer developing urethane coatings for bowling balls. Brunswick was a big customer. Very interesting chemistry. Through heat and rotational friction of the ball, hook could be increased at the end of the roll upon approach to the pins. Coatings are huge. Cool Science. Like a pitcher’s spitball, or a mud-treated baseball, surfaces are a huge factor in dynamics. A golf ball with no dimples ia a disaster. Center of gravity is also interesting, for both bowling balls and fishing lures. A big deal with the jig minnow was moving the center of gravity upward on the jig head, with the specific intent of increasing roll, a lure action that was previously undervalued. Love the science.
My analogy of fwd facing sonar to bowling would be having radar guided bowling ball that always hits the pocket.
Well said!! I quit bowling in "96". Bowling turn into a joke! Bass fishing also!! Don't need to subscribe to Bass Masters!! When my subscription is up I am DONE!! Thanks Randy!! Home Run!!
if you look back prior to 1975 in missouri, we had no length limits. we went to 15 inches, and reduced the bag limit from 10 to 6. today we still have a great bass fishery because of that, even with the increased preasure. that is clear evidence that size and bag limits work! if you don't believe that, then lets do away with releasing fish and bag limits, and it will be obvious what mortality, pressure, and catch rates have to do with sustainability!
Hey Randy. A good relation of what FFS is to bass fishing is what a "carry" contest is in bowling due to the easy lane conditions.
I quit bowling in May of 1985 after shooting 299-279-224=802 during sweepstakes while averaging 209 for the entire season. Which is nothing as compared to today's scores.
Experience is the best teacher ,I only have a small fishfinder on my boats, but only use it for temperature and depth, I feel like I'm a great fisherman! I've targeted Crappie and Bluegill for over 20 years, but am not going to any tournaments anytime soon because of the electronics they have on their boats,it has really ruined the sport of fishing. KEEP ON FISHING
Many one handers, such as Tackett, Johnson, Prather, etc. have the same rev rate as two handers. Two handers still release with one hand.
Should tennis ban two handed backhands?
I'm sorry but pretty soon Randy's going to start complaining about the motorized vehicle . It will sound something like this.
Guys the motorized vehicle has ruined the way we travel and transport. Back in the day it used to take 20 times longer to do all of this stuff but we got to be outside for much much longer and enjoy the outdoors lol. I cannot believe it's come to complaining about bowling at this point. I'm not big on ffs either but the complaining is just out of control. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I can hear him now, your truck is so quiet I no longer need to wear ear muffs
What do you say about KVD when he bust onto the scene?
He was one out of 1 million sort of like Tiger Woods.
@ did you say he was cheating when he perfected the use of side imaging to locate fish?
@ side imaging is not live imaging. That is where crossed the line for the majority of anglers who care about the future of the sport?
@@randyblaukatintuitive but there’s no doubt that since he perfected the use of the side imaging that he was able to learn faster than anybody else before him. I don’t have FFS on my boat, but I hate the narrative that a piece of technology is ruining the sport. It’s changing it quick, yes, no doubt, but the way I see it is tourney anglers either adapt or get out of the way. Thanks for replying to me. Have a good day
Randy,
Forward sonar reminds me of those big plastic kids pools that are set up at sporting goods conventions and shows that are filled with fish. They're for all the little kids to plop their line in and pull out a fish and get all excited. Wonderful for the kids and I have no problem with it. Seems to me a so called professional angler using forward facing sonar should have more pride, because I see very little difference between that and the little tub full of fish the kids are having fun with.
I worked for Brunswick in the late 80s early 90s. I remember the day we drilled a rhino for a 15 yr old with a 140 avg. Next season he carried a 200 avg. Half the league was throwing a sumo or rhino or storm next season. Including me. Guys would laugh at how drunk they could get and still throw strikes 😢
bowling balls advanced the same way fishing rods and reels have advanced. You cant go back and have anglers use Zebco 404s, Shakespear rods and mono line only.
Clickbait! Cmon man
Yea right, he was just bitching about nobody watching his crank bait “secret juice” video
Yeah but he’s right and people eat it up
Randy, I suggest promotion of the Non Livescope League and keep the work up on the BASS league and FLW. God Bless man!
Like to see you talk about the reason why someone would go to a 4 stroke vs a 2 stroke. I know that technology was a plus in this category. that would be a cool deal there. Just want to undertand why most of the pros still have 2 stroke outboards other than sponsorship on oil and 2 stroke promotions.
Heyyy use live bait next ... yeahhhh that's talent😂
I just took a Quick Look at the top 10 for the Toyota series on Rayburn. The winner (by a lot) was all FFS; all minnow. The only guy who made the top 10 not using it was 7th place with a lipless crankbait. One other guy split between that and FFS. So basically 85% of top 10. Granted; water was in 40’s and the grass on Rayburn is mostly gone. But still 85%. I hope that’s not what we’re in store for all year.
I agree 100% I do not respect the fisherman that say they are a good at bass fishing when they are using the cheater box, that is not fishing, not fair to the fish or other anglers, they might as well stay home and use there computer and play fishing games.
Randy, you qualified for your first classic when you were 25.
Yeah real BASS Fishing
@ I just think it’s strange that he frequently criticizes the youth of the current professional anglers when he was barely out of diapers when he went pro. I’m older than he is, by the way.
All things have seasons. Sports, politics, relationships, business, etc. Bass fishing is having a bad season to say the least but keep the good fight sir…. Next season is just around the corner given time.
You should have gave Luke’s podcast a shout out
For all those 40 and 50 year olds that have mastered the old style of fishing, and the transition period with the FFS technique and young guys, Ive gave up the tournament fishing, cuz Im like you Randy, its no longer a fair cometition, not giving up fishing, just cant afford to compete no longer
I 100% agree. Ban the scope. Nothing but little kids now winning big tournaments they really shouldn’t have won.
Same for tennis. Similar for golf. Power replaced finesse.
Randy I don’t have Facebook to shoot a pm about an on the water session
FFS is the performance enhancing drug of fishing.
I don’t agree with you politically, but I do agree with you 100% about FFS.
I agree with you Randy but I don’t see anything changing anytime soon
Enough with the political analogies, from both sides.
Just go fish Randy and be happy.
He. Is exactly Right.Turn of that FFS AND LETS DO SOME REAL BASS FISHING
Off
What’s a “hip putter”?
Two handed bowling is just another tool in the bowlers armoury, they still have to hit the target.
No difference to when Braid and Flourocarbon entered the fishing scene, anglers had a lot to learn about that stuff.
I agree on the cheater box, thats just not fishing, its like an easter egg hunt cept looking for fish .
Also, two handed bowling is still a one hand release. It is just a different way to get the ball to its release point.
I've personally known ladies in the professional fishing spectrum. Those "so-called" professional women took out guides before the tournament and fished the hot spots. What's the difference?
That’s way different and both are wrong.
No disrespect but if you're not a pro angler, does it really affect you that much?
I agree with you Randy 💯
I hear you...but...if the problem is that technology has improved our ability to accomplish a task (in this case, fishing), then how far back up the evolutionary chain of technology should we go? There was a time when fishing lines were made from horse hair, and all the lures were tied from fur and feathers. Do you want to go back to that? I mean, if you were writing this 40 years ago, you could insert (plastic worm) instead of (forward facing sonar) and all your points would be exactly the same. Do you use any sonar at all? Trolling motors? 250HP outboards? Reels with high gear ratios? All of these technologies are game changers. I am really curious why FFS is the one that you determine is one step too far. Is this an arbitrary standard, or is there an objective standard that you are appealing to?
You are exactly right they need to restrict it or completely ban it. I see it being used ice fishing now.
How many 100's of tournaments are there when guys are catching big bass and hauling them around for 7 or 8 hours in a live well. I read that half those bass end up dead in a week or less.
If you want to use it, use it. If you don’t want to use it, don’t. You might as well embrace the technology and learn to use it. If not, you be competitive for long. Only reason I don’t have it is because I can’t afford it!
I’m just waiting on someone to masterfully put together the challenge: “Hey, FFS addict-fish this (or my) circuit that doesn’t allow FFS. Let’s see how you do.” I think it’s a lose-lose proposition. The FFS-er will either decline because he/she knows they can’t persist in the long run using traditional skills. Or they’ll accept the challenge and won’t persist in the long run, because they don’t use traditional skills.
The color "c" lector was wrong. Unfairness. New technology is wrong. So where is your line drawn for too much of a good thing? When and where is the stopping point?
My opinion like yours is off limits of the lakes until the day of the tournament. If they're not controlling the limits of technology. Limit the time on the water.
There has not been a tough tournament since scope came out.
I don't think that competitive fishing needs to turn away from FFS because 99.9% of people that fish will never compete, or probably even own a $100k bass boat. What the pros do to pull in massive fish doesn't matter to them, but it's still fun to see people perform at a high level and have very close weigh-ins. Competitive fishing is for the spectator who wants to see the super high numbers and have a level of tension mount as every oz matters. I think it's very much removed from what most people do for fishing. So those skills you are talking about still matter and are still relevant and thanks to content creators are being taught to more and more people and I think it's ok that this is happening separate from the competitive scene. I think fishing is less like bowling and more like cycling, where the top .1% of cyclist that compete in the tour de france have insane gear, suits, helmets, etc. but most cyclists aren't going to do any of that and still care about bikes that are comfortable or have certain quality of life features that would detract from the competitiveness at the high level.
With that being said I think there is also room to have competitions that don't have these technologies if that's what people want, and obviously those exist still and the existence of ffs doesn't prevent those from happening.
I love you content when it comes to fishing . But I don’t want to start anything because of that but when it comes to technology I know your not using a flip phone to record your videos or a old school giant video recorder so with that being said your ok with using the newest and greatest technology to make your videos and make money for you and your family but not using ffs to put mor fish in your boat to cash more checks ? It’s not the technology that will destroy the fishing it’s the man or woman standing above the unit . That’s how it’s been since the flasher , the first boat , the first bait caster . It’s all technology
MAN! You just don't get it. When will it be enough? When will it go too far? Are you a pro ? Do you use it to cash more checks? Your last little sentence doesn't mean a damn thing if technology is like shooting fish in a barrel.
You still have to find the fish . You still have to catch them . Just because the technology helps you see the fish , helps see the fish react , and may put more fish in the boat . It doesn’t make you keep more than you limits . I’ve seen enough shows on the internet and the different medias that show anglers even with ffs they still don’t catch every fish they see
Commercial fishermen use technology, Anglers do not...Bring back the Angler!!!
I really love livescope I have learned a lot about fish with it, and would be lot better fisherman now without it, bowling lanes is been getting better sense it bowling begun, and fishing is been getting better sense the cane pole. maybe tournaments should use a string, safety pin and tree limb. "suck it up man"
Technology is always giving sportsmen new advantages. There are people who were bowling in the 1930’s who were shaking their heads at the young guys bowling with the improved conditions in the 70’s and 80’s. The same can be said in any sport as it advances.
I had a friend 30 years ago who averaged a 300 game at least once a week .
I saw an old bass masters episode from 2001-2 and Randy was in contention. Back then he was complaining on camera about pressure in the lakes. Admitting on camera to being mentally weak during the final day of the tournament. He doesn’t want to really grow the sport. He’d rather cut participation by 80%
I have a great idea!! Why don’t you challenge Jacob wheeler to a 3 hour fishing contest with no electronics
Look if you wre brought up in this era,you would be live scoping......
I used to bowl in the 90s and carried 202 average in three houses. I quit in 1999 and never threw a ball until 2014 when I decided to take it up again. I averaged 212 when I came back..was ridiculous…guys who would average 160 years ago average 220 now…it’s silly. I bowled until 2016 and quit forever. 800s were a real accomplishment years ago…now it’s normal and happens all the time.
The next thing you know these old guys will just start keeping their daily limit of Bass and put them in their own private ponds I often wonder if we took our daily limits out how long before you could'nt catch as many on these big lakes then the FFS guys would be crying their eyes out. We've all been cooperating for years but will we going forward?
Tried to watch the Toledo Bend final (MLF)….got tired of watching the back of Dustin Connell’s head, glued to his FFS. Turned it off, maybe for good.
P.S.-watching Shuffield kissing bass gets old.
Stop crying about technology...get rid of your modern pick-up truck with heated and cooled seats air-conditioneding power steering........that pulls your 100k bass boat and 10s of thousands of dollars of tackle and rods...go back to sitting on a the bank with a cane pole and a bobber if you don't like technology...seems like you cry about all this technology
but you use on a daily basis. Seems kinda double standard to me.
Try addressing the issue instead of gaslighting. By the way, my truck has 450,000 miles on it with no heated seats no radio and no air conditioning.
He doesn't have all that
That's pretty good 😂
My rods and reels are way more than my boat, which has the highest in technology cut off milk jug. THAT is the most important technology on my boat. It determines whether you make it back or not. I have caught so many big fish, right in front of the “pro’s”, sometimes. Back to back 6 pounders, tons of 5’s, my son and I have caught some nice doubles but the 6/8 pounders were special. I bask in the glory of that old leaky boat, milk jug, no electronics and a $100 troll motor. I’ve got a maxwell house coffee can with an eye bolt in some cement for an anchor. Well, actually the can has rotted off now. Still works great, slips silently into the water.
Adapt or die.
Not my rules. That’s just life.
It will kill the tackle industry. Ask any tackle store and they will tell you!
Businesses that can’t adapt to change fail everyday. Who cares? I welcome the competition.
People who like FFS are the same people that want steroids and aluminum bats in baseball.
I've been seeing a lot of info on poaching with cast nets and huge dip nets (out of control) hope someone can get a handle on it before bass move shallow to spawn
It's been happening at my local ponds for some time. Always the same folks.
Not only that but the price of fishing equipment is so high your average working man cant afford it.
Alot of them dont have holes in ball ! They throw it like a 7 year old ! And strike alot !Dont bowl anymore! Still got My grandfather's ball
The solution is to find investors who are willing to sponsor tournaments that are no electronics. It needs to be put online with quality video production. People will watch and the dollars will roll in. What we have now is easy money which never lasts. The product now is just garbage. There’s opportunity to reinvent the sport. We need big names to stand up and abandon the current product.
Its not bass fishing tournaments, its Forward facing sonar tournaments.
That's exactly right
Ask an angler who is sponsored by either Garmin or hummingbird. How can you speak up without losing your sponsorship and your job?
RANDY!!!!, AS BILLY JOEL SAYS..., ROCK AND ROLL AND COLA WARS , I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Further, buddy, If you are a Christian, you gotta remember, we live in a me first, I'm the Best, I'm the this or that! It's steered way off Course from Being Sportsmans, Respectful, you name it. Just go do what you Love to do, Isolate yourself from this NOISE..., Keep a good inner Circle and Pass on your knowledge. Society will get worse brother.
Im 2d sonar period
Do u have a discount code for a good cheater Box
A hundred years ago, there were true craftsmen who made wagon wheels and buggy whips. Today they're all dead, and manufacturing plants crank out wheels, tires, and the cars that we all drive today. Things change. Those who change with the times will survive, and those that don't change don't have to, but the must accept that the world around them is in a constant state of change. Whenever I go to a bowling alley, the rental gear is the good, old fashioned hard plastic ball. I've thrown a few hammers and other weighted balls, and yes, they make a difference, but I'm not an avid enough bowler to consider buying one of them. When I go fishing, I have a 15 year old boat, but it gets me to where I want to go. Do I use FFS? Yes. I like the technology for what it helps me do... find fish. Catching them is still up to the angler. The technology helps me to make more productive casts. I don't sit over brush piles and jig for bass, I still enjoy casting, I just like casting to where the fish are much better. And for the record.... I'm older than you.
Bass fishing has not been taken over and dominated by electronic technology. It’s been taken over and dominated by money. Tournaments have long since become extended ads for products. When there is such a thing as a $100,000.00 Bass Boat, things are upside down.
Im not a professional bass fisherman and never once fished a tournament. I do have a bass boat with down scan and side scan, which i dont think helps me catch fish. you complain about new tech in sonar so let me ask you a question. Do you have a back up camera on your truck to help hook up your boat trailer? do you bow hunt? if so do you use a compound bow or a recurve? If you muzzleloader hunt do you use a flintlock or a in-line rifle? do you use open sights on your rifle or have you got a scope? Do you have power steering and air condition on your vehicle? Times change and so does progress. Instead of complaining about a 20 year old winning tournaments why dont you learn to use ff sonar and level the playing field?
🤣 you’re one of them that don’t understand,every comparison you pointed out is a comfort thing,FFS in fishing is not a comfort thing 🤣
@@ronaldcox2741 was rant using a flasher when everyone else was using down and side imaging? It’s part of the game. Maybe just give them all a 17 foot aluminum rig, 50 hp and no electronics.
A huge factor in the young guys cutting the learning curve these days is not just FFS it is social media...every guy with experience out there trying to make money on UA-cam is guilty including yourself, posting tips and tricks videos to catch more fish and giving out knowledge that was not available back when we grew up is teaching them what they need to do before they every hit the water....say what you want about FFS but anyone with half a brain can figure this out 🤷
When was the last tournament won without ffs
