  RE: Balog on FFS – One of the best, most succinct discussions on the FFS controversy/situation that I've read or listened to.

  RE: Balog on FFS – What an advancement in technology; I believe that it will be around for a long time. However, I also believe that there will come a time where you will be able to choose which tourneys you want to fish, as some organizations will allow this and others will not. I, for one, will fish the ones without FFS. I am a competitive bass angler, but FFS is out of my pay range and will always be. Do not punish me and take away my competitive options.

  RE: Balog on FFS – It's so good to read an unbiased article on this new technology. I'm not against it, but I fear it removes much of the wonder of fishing. Fishing is wonderful – full of wonder!

  RE: Charity event bans FFS – I don’t own any nor have it on my Christmas list. I’m tech savvy enough and fish 2-3 local tournaments a month for fun. Would it help? Maybe in most areas, but Florida isn’t like a Corps of Engineers or TVA impoundment.

  I think FFS should be allowed. The fish may be there, but you still have to make them eat. To ban those who have FFS may take a chunk out of the charitable donations. Then again, if they just fish it because it’s for charity, just make a donation regardless.

  There are a lot of reasons that experience fishing and with a fishery have less relevance than ever before. A lot of guys will jump on FFS, and that's certainly a major factor, but with YouTube and other social media platforms, you can become more knowledgeable than at any time in human history. Want to learn how to make a world-class Neopolitan pizza? Check out YouTube. Whether it's a detailed look at the differences in operation of a 4-stroke vs. a 2-stroke engine, or studying the world's greatest minds, you can do it all now at the click of a button. The drawback is that everyone else can, too. But you have to put in the work and have the motivation.

  Most pro bass fishermen now have a podcast because most of them are better at talking about bass fishing than they are at catching bass!

  RE: Balog on 2023 stars – I love your articles, but you left out the most important factor: FFS/LiveScope.
