I agree with the photographer about old-school talent versus new-age AI fishing. AI will soon not only tell anglers where the fish are and how they are reacting, but tell them which baits to throw.

I have mixed feelings about Easton Fothergill's Classic win. Easton clearly outfished every other competitor who had the same resources available and his backstory is also heartwarming. But is a win with FFS the same as a win without? I don't think it is.
I liken it to photography and the modern post-processing tools available. The use of modern photography tools can create some absolutely beautiful pictures. Using the tools takes skill, and some people will be much better at it than others. However, does a modern processed photograph have the same value as an Ansel Adams photograph where it was just the man, some film and his camera? I don't think it does.
To me, modern technology takes out a lot of the human factor that makes fishing and photography so appealing.
RE: Power-Pole contest – After losing my leg and waiting on a prosthetic, I would love to fish a different lake with one of the best bass pros.
The leadership, or lack thereof, in both professional leagues is absolutely laughable right now. We've gone from the no-nonsense, by the book, common sense of Trip Weldon to DQs for talking fishing with non-competitors ... and let's be honest, the best thing that could happen to MLF is for Boyd to ride off into the sunset. This sport is begging for some true leadership right now.
