  B.A.S.S. won't even let you use a different boat each tournament, but will allow what is basically a live camera. B.A.S.s. even banned a specific lure?

  RE: Swindle and FFS – Love this train of thought! The video about the couple was awesome as well.

  If you haven’t gone to YouTube and watched “David Dudley Crazy Catch”, you need to. There are certain iconic tourney fishing clips that come along like “Never give up” - add this one to the list. It’s the reason we tournament fish. Enjoy.

  RE: Swindle and FFS – G-Man is right on point! FFS forces anglers to all fish the same way. There's no style. There's no variety. It's just a bunch of clones on the water. I understand why they use it, but it does take the fun out of fishing. It's fun to use in situations, but I would never do it every time I go fishing. That is why I don't fish tournaments anymore. I can't compete if I don't use it. That was a free decision I made. If FFS is allowed, the A-rig should be allowed as well!

  RE: New Duckett Fishing podcast – Please, for the love of God, NOBODY tune into this podcast. Can't we just get Boyd Duckett out of fishing already?

  Solution to forward-facing sonar problem: B.A.S.S. needs to divide into two tournament series, with a 150-participant limit for each division (eight tournaments in each division). Division 1 - Forward-facing sonar only, no normal fishing allowed. Division 2 - Regular normal fishing that we all know and no FFS allowed, period.

  I do not feel there would be a problem filling either division. This could, with some tweaking, solve most of the constant discussion.

  FFS should be banned altogether. I think it takes away fishermen's skill and makes it more electronic. Also, most fishermen at my level of income can't afford the technology and it's keeping us out if competition. Also makes these small lakes more pressured for the people fishing just for sport and enjoyment.

  RE: Who's most worthy of Hall? – Fred Arbogast. Those were some of the first baits I used growing up. Classics that catch fish today just as they did 70 or so years ago.

  I totally agree on the Toledo Bend tournament. Thank goodness for the one buzzbait bite. Just not enough shallow. It's not MLF's coverage at fault, you had to fish that way to contend. But it is very boring for old-school guys like me.

  RE: Who's most worthy of Hall? – Fred Arbogast was a true pioneer in the tackle industry. Just as deserving is Dick Kotis, longtime president of Fred Arbogast Bait Company. It is also a major oversight that Fred Young, originator of the Big O, is not in the Hall.

  Perfect, he (Mark Richards) said everything that the rest of us were thinking.

  I really didn't think that there was anything more boring than the Pro Bowl coverage until I watched the MLF at Toledo Bend. It's incredible to me that a great lake like Toledo, which offers all kinds of cover and patterns, gets reduced to a bunch of guys tossing jighead minnows in the middle of nowhere watching their FFS. BO-RING.

  Hey, I get that there are some people who probably like this, just like there are people who like cauliflower, and if that pays the bills for MLF and the anglers, more power to them. But for me, I will pass. In one clip I saw Ott DeFoe catch one on a buzzbait and it was like I had this big sense of relief, like WOW, real fishing!

  Wake me up when the FFS era is over. Until then, every show is like Groundhog Day.
