- Sam Heaton and Whitey Outlaw have been fishing tournaments since the very beginning. They've seen every advancement to the sport made in the last 40 years. Now they're going to tell you what they think of forward facing sonar as we discuss The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Loved the show Brad!! Guides are the problem.. I follow a lot of guides that are fishing during the week while I’m at work…. So when I get to go on the weekends, I keep as many as all the guides post on their pages all week because I feel left out!! And we do every weekend!!! I try to hurt their guide fishing just like they are demolishing the recreational fishers. Sometimes the old guys just need to go sit down somewhere.
I crappie fish because I love to eat them, not for bragging rights or to impress.....I will use whatever technique to put them in the boat, ol school,new school don't matter as long as I have them golden brown fillets and tater logs on the table!!
Us to kids: "Get off that computer and enjoy the outdoors"
Us fishing: "pew, pow, ding"
By the way guys . Great show . I hope something good comes from what y’all say . I’m for it . The good
Great show ! Really appreciate the experienced pros talking about the changes with crappie fishing and realizing we have to be proactive in protecting our resources. I hope my grandkids can experience the joys of crappie fishing!
Thx Brad!! Great show!! Outlaw is my fav! Love to go fishing with him
Great conversation!
The gentleman's point about catch and release is great. But when you follow a few "guides" on Facebook (one sitting at that table) and EVERY day they are posting pictures of coming back with 70 plus fish for a 2 person trip ? C'mon. Practice what ya preach.
Excellent show Brad
Man, what a show. those two are wonderful, thanking a vet is the best
Great episode!
Appreciate it
I need to watch y’all live
Every Tuesday night 7pm
Great video
The problem of limits is a lot of fishermen don’t care about limits.
It’s always going to be outlaws
Speaking of John Goodwin cooking crappie he once told me Paula liked Ranch flavored Doritos crushed and used in the meal to coat them. He cooked some that way and they were very good.
Great show. I hope the MSDWF gets proactive before they have to get reactive.
Yes sir
Black diamond came out with a 16? I love the 14
The 16’ is really good
I'M GLAD THIS IS BEING TALKED ABOUT
Good stuff.
Small lakes need to have smaller limits that comes down to the OWD doing their job, but we have to let them know there’s an issue,
You can’t compare bass to crappie because crappie are so prolific,
I agree with Outlaw a lot of these guys wasn’t even fisherman before livescope but it’s definitely bringing new people in, and that’s great!
Unpopular opinion here but.
If you want change get your biologist involved, get a petition going and do something, we talk about it but we don’t want to make it happen!
Man I wish I could figure out live scope . My brain don’t work I guess .been about eight or nine times .cans find nothing but shad . If there is any one on the gulf coast that would help an ole man out . That would be a blessing for sure .
It will click one day
Keep after it
WOW!!!! I say wow what a GREAT SHOW!!!!! So many good points pros and cons!!!!! Two points that really caught my attention!!!! Don’t blame the gun because it’s the Shooter!!!! Also the Month of March release all females 2#. I agree 💯 on both I currently practice both especially in releasing females from February-March is my timeline!!! Also in the harvesting to eat comments at the end,,, I throw back 90-95% of the fish I catch!!! I’m currently into tracking how they move from season to season so I can understand their patterns and finding how some fish relate to the bottom!!!! The bottom is an entirely different world which I HOPE we never produce the technology to see!!!!!!
you cannot leave it up to the people to do the right thing, only regulations and laws will sway people to do the right thing,
I agree some people wont throw anything back they greedy
Amen guys I don't have livescope can't afford it anyway I use 2D and Sideview and down view and catch crappie to eat I'm not bringing home limits anyone that can bring a limit out of Lewis Smith lake more power to you
Small world. I grew up on Smith, crappie fishing is alot better there now than it was 30-40 years ago I do believe. I fish the Warrior and Tombigbee mostly.
The one thing I have not heard on your show is anything about hydro wave it's 1 of the best tools out things out there.
We would love to have someone that uses it effectively come talk about it
Too much wisdom is being lost every year. Tech is good, but can’t replace all the knowledge all y’all have stored up in your heads. Keep bringing on the “old” pros. Keep talking. Thanks for sharing.
Yes sir
It’s all very important to this sport ! Appreciate the comment
Would be awesome to see this same topic with some of the young sticks
I like it.. we can do it
I get complaining about possible ramifications of population ect. But when it comes to tourney fish and them complaining they can't compete! GROW A PAIR and learn how to use it. BOO HOO I CANT WIN ANYMORE BECAUSE IM TOO LAZY TO LEAN HOW TO USE ELECTRONICS
I call bullshit , I just fished a lake and had 2 other boats fishing it also.
I was using livescope and they were not. I didn’t catch crap but got hung up trying the same fish too long and they were trolling and catching fish with several poles sticking out the front and back.
Well I’m not stupid so now I have several jig poles ranging from 9 to 14 feet, can’t buy just 1 because if I catch one on a 10 foot pole and my wife has a different pole she will take mine so I bought 2 of all of them.
Dang near broke my bank account but hell I’m 54 years old and like my fishing .
Get your facts straight jack, dang forward sonar caused me to spend more money.
Not sure what you disagree about. Live sonar will out catch trolling day in day out .
Anyone that complains about livescope as much as he did and talk and how it's ruining small lakes and causes havoc on the crappie fishing and crappie population and its causeing fishing to only be a young mans game then turns around and says he and his son makes a living guiding with livescope is a but hurt hypocrit . He griped and complained the entire time about livescope but when it comes down to it he is just upset and butt hurt because he cannot win tournaments anymore . Seems like he thinks it's ok for he and his son to make big money with livescope but nobody else should have it because it takes his GLORY away from being a competitive crappie guide and tournament fisherman
Damn, you said a mouthful there friend. Right though.
Ffs ain’t a paper graph I had one it sucked
The ugly to me is the cost.
No on the white bass
the biggest impact will be being able to target and catch open water fish,.
I still don't have a paper graft.
Probably was before your time. It preceded the dot matrix printer.
Bunch of knowledge on this show. I agree and disagree at the same time with most of what was said. Can livescope hurt the population? Yes but no more than any other form of abuse. I follow guides on Facebook on 3 of the lakes along the Savannah River in South Carolina and some of them long line most of the time and still bring out 3 and 4 man limits everyday. Is this good for the population? Outlaw stated they took clients out and brought out 60 fish at a time. Seems to me they are part of the problem. Proactive? Why don't these guides take a proactive approach and restrict clients to keeping 10 fish with 1 over 2lbs? Catch as many as they want but only keep x amount with one over 2lbs. Talk without action makes people loose respect and makes them look like hypocrites. I will also say that if a person couldn't catch fish before getting livescope, they won't do much better with it. You still have to know what the fish do in certain times of the year and so on. Not to mention, It won't make them bite. Now for a man to ask if Hayden is fishing in a tournament and not fishing it if he is, well that man shouldn't be doing anything that requires you to compete. This is ludicrous. To say Hayden is bad for the sport is the most shocking thing I have ever heard. If I were Hayden I would dedicate my next win to him. I have never personally met either of these men but have watched your shows with both of them in it. One says the other is detrimental to the sport and one said he was beatable every time his boat hit the water. Seems to me the later has much better character. I'm 53 so it's not like I'm taking up for the youngsters. I ain't skeered to fish against him either. It would be an honor to get my but kicked by him but I would do it. Yes I would put down the money to try and beat him. Go Hayden!!! Great show, keep up the good work.
Great video but biologist should not be criticized. They study the lake and determine limits. Wardens enforce those and are not biologist. They are law enforcement. Yes, they may be behind but they cannot sample every lake each year. People are greedy.
Electronics/sonar is like hunting deer with thermal imaging or night vision devices. If we did that, there wouldn’t be any left.
Tournaments are destroying the fun of fishing. It’s really all about winning, sponsors selling and promoting high dollar boats and tackle that most cannot afford. Big motor bragging rights and $90k boats. I have a Ranger 188C.
Trophy hunting ruined deer hunting and trophy hunting panfish that won’t fit in the pan is doing the same. We have those out there advocating turning lose the big fish. Crappie die in 7-8 years.
Trophy lakes only is bullshit where you can’t keep fish. Sports fisherman mostly care about the size and not the fun of the sport.
I’m not poor, lived in OK, but enjoy fishing with kids and grandkids. I’ve watched 100s of videos and yet to see any of y’all taking kids and teaching them how to fish. If you do, where are the videos.
I’m in complete disagreement with more government regulation. That’s the last thing anyone needs with politics the way they are now. Every inch you give them will cost you a mile. Both parties included.
Ill be 100% honest is LS fun to use YES do i wish i ever come along NOPE!! i agree with whitey its taken years of knowledge on the water away.... but hey its here so better learn it best u can whining about it aint gonna help lol
Great episode. Sam look like a gun slinger sittin there. Lower the limits wood help. Put a slot limit on them. Make it to where you can only keep 1 fish over the slot limit. Santee Cooper done that with the catfish. Catch limits and only 1 fish over 36” I believe. Santee catfishing isn’t near as good as it used to be do to every guide had to show a full cooler of fish. Now they feelin the effects of it.
