@dalelowery3709 @TheShon42073 You two are fucking morons. Educate yourself on sarcasm. Randy isn’t just a UA-camr just like Trey isn’t just a scoper. Keep up dorks. However, Randy isn’t relevant in the tournament scene anymore.
where does a nineteen year old get 80 grand for a bass boat and 50 grand for sonar equipment? - The kids not even old enough to get a real job- Somebody bankrolling this kid - Wouldn't a Forty Year old with 20 years of experience and using FFS be able to dominate??
Trey is from my hometown. Him and Rick kicked my and my partners butt at Crab Orchard Lake out of a tin boat with a 90hp in the back. At the end of the day I saw them coming back to a ramp out of an area that was maybe 4ft at the deepest. Kid can do it all.
I enjoyed the interview in this entire episode. I wish the guy who Trey stopped to talk to would have said hello to you Mercer. I think he was trying to let you guys get back to the call. Jake's take was good too. Always enjoyable and educational. Thanks for doing these!
i can picture Dave laughing his ass off at the comments.... ive caused a stir...LOL... he is 19 and still wet behind the ears... very little actual experience... without the FFS he would be 88th in this tourney too....
Can't take anything away from him. He won within the rules. I can't see him being nearly as successful without it, but who knows? That's why I want to see some tournaments without it. That would be really interesting for guys like him, who mastered ffs, to compete without it. Who doesn't want to see that? Why not, if you dont?Especially at this point, because pro fishing has become all scoping now. Shallow too. That's all we are going to see now
Yet all the pros have the ability and all have ffs. Bottom line it's a tool just like mapping, sidescan, 360, all about information. Now with that information it's up to you to make the decisions. So if "scoping" was that easy, why aren't the veterans killing it? I mean all we hear is it's soo easy to catch fish with it.....why aren't they? Because it's a new skill those that saw it coming started to master. I know great anglers who can't read their ffs units let alone catch a fish with it. It's a skill some have mastered just like flipping, cranking, jerkbait fishing, dropshoting, sight fishing, etc.
@fisherman7275 I disagree that it's just a tool like the others. It's become the only way to be consistently competitive. So far this year, without a doubt, it's been the only "tool" and I think it's basically all we are going to see from now on. Shallow too. I dont like that. It's too big of a game changer. It's obviously a skill to learn, and yes older ppl typically don't take to new technology as well as the younger people. But I dont want fishing and searching for fish to be something that is exclusively done live on a screen. Casting to fish you know are there live, how big they are, etc. Even if you disagree, I would have to think you can understand that opinion? I have another question for you. Is there a line where you think this technology will go too far? If so, what is it? I'm okay will everything else, except ffs. Its a step too far, in my eyes, regardless that it's a skill. And if " we have to adapt and except new technology " as a lot of ppl say,by that rationale, then it's going to lead to something that is 100 percent indistinguishable from a video game. That's the logical conclusion of where it leads to. I don't see it any other way.
I find it hard to believe absolutely no other fisherman in that tournament wasn't at least as good using FFS as this kid AND has YEARS more experienced as a pro bass angler than this kid Was he lucky? Absolutely but luck plays a role in every pro bass fishing tournament victory but luck in of itself doesn't a constantly successful pro bass fisherman make Time will tell if hes good or just lucky Im betting on the former.
I’m 63 retired coal miner been following BASS sense 1990 my GUTT FEELING!! FFS not good for fishing & it’s not fishing!!! My question is would RAY SCOTT allowed FFS…gutt feeling tells ME NO!!!!
The mine must;ve rotted your brain. Stop listening to old heads and look up the statistics. It's not hurting fisheries or fish. Stop being a sheep for once in your life.
without FFS.. he would be 88th in all the tourneys..... same with all these kids.. i dont watch anymore, its far to boring and they are not pro anglers... a real pro pits their brain against the fishes brain.... if BASS gets back to real fishing, ill watch again...
If Trey is just a scoper, Randy is just a UA-camr.
Randy is in top 30 all time money winners.....ignorance is plentiful amongst scopers....the reason for their strange way of looking at things
I believe Randy has won over 2 million bucks bass fishing buddy.

I love that term, “scoper ”, haven’t heard that one before.
This kid is "special"...in a good way!
He sure seems it. I really enjoyed our conversation
No he is a Hammer
You got that right!
It doesn’t matter what you or I think. He’s a Bassmaster Champion who beat the breaks off of Legendary Pro’s.
He sure is!
Exactly 100%..And people really need to start excepting this....
lets see em do it without the FFS.....
@@JW-iw6ww you can’t even win your local tourney can you?? Trey has been walking all over people for years now
@@Masonjar94 for years?...LMFAO!!!! he is only 19...

But he has FFS, and it is allowed. Glad you took your hands off Randy’s nuts long enough to comment again.
A Ben Franklin says he wouldnt
I'm sure the other 180 or whatever number of guys fishing the EQs the majority had FFS also

My gut feeling is you need to retake a grammar course.

Anybody in the comments make $100,000 last week?
If that's the only test then tie out some big ones. .....money isn't the proof of right or wrong.!
If he used it....then yes!
Yessir He Would Be Panicked, He Would Have To Show Then, What He Has!!! They can't Compete Without FFS
agreed...
Of course he love's it, can't compete without, most definitely he would Panic!
Bullshit. One time winner you'll likely never hear his name again.
I will put lots of money on that.
without FFS.. he would be 88th in all the tourneys..... same with all these kids.. i dont watch anymore, its far to boring and they are not pro anglers... a real pro pits their brain against the fishes brain.... if BASS gets back to real fishing, ill watch again...
Yes because dragging a crank bait off a point is so much better, you seem like a bitter old man that can’t keep up with the times.
He is gonna say what Mercer wants, he's a scoper, watch later and see these kids shouldn't be there, They wouldn't be there without FFS
