Watching youtube livescope fishing to me, my ,02 cents OK, is live fishing in an aquarium. Lower you jig slowly onto the crappies nose and pull it away until he takes it.
But what I'm concerned about, this is just the 1st generation of livescope. What will it be in 5 or 10 years?
I'm 60 years old and I can afford it, but it ain't for me. I'd rather watch Richard Gene hunt'em down with his strip down tin rig, one hand on the trolling motor, the other on a yellow rod with yellow line watching for the thump.

He certainly is good at controlling that boat

I think we need to launch a committee and fund raising staff. Supply the funds for me to buy me a LS and I'll get back to ya if it helps me catch more fish and if the crappie waters are in danger.

Like a "GOFISHME" fund.

Way to step up and do the research. Mighty fine idea

It may not be all doom and gloom. Last time I was fishing near a bridge at my home lake I think I was the only one with any electronics on my boat, and I don't have LS. While it may be common with real serious fishermen, it's not nearly on every boat yet.

As long as the guys keeping these limits daily are eating the fish or giving them to people who will eat them,,,I’m good with these new electronics,,,, just don’t wipe out the species for tomorrows fishermen….

Get a piece of cardboard with "HELP, I NEED A LIVESCOPE" on it and go to your busiest intersection in town.
The general public with think you have a serious medical condition.

The fish will become more v
boat shy as they are pressured more by fisherman targeting them.
