While I agree with Bama and have a young friend who only knows how to fish looking at a fishing screen. I also agree death4disco. I am right there with you my friend. My question to all is what do you do to stop progress? For the most part Bama you spoke of pro’s well most all new products that goes on the market for fishing and hunting and are first given to the so called pro’s to get an edge on other so called pro’s to win rather than fish. In my younger years I fished bass tournaments on a bass fishing circuit only part time never full time but we did have sponsors. So once these products are proven by the pro’s now the big companies that sponsors these pro’s start a marketing campaign and use the name of these so called pro’s to promote the sale of the new gadget to what now the pro’s have proven. It’s even easier now with YouTube! Then the folks who can afford these new products purchases them. Those who cannot wait till they can. Most probably have trolling motors with spot lock. I only have 40 foot anchor lines still. Progress of technology is all too expensive for my taste and that’s ok. But we can promote ethical fishing by only keeping what you can eat or let our greed do what has been done to so many other outdoor sports. If you look at some of my older post you will see large crappie. We could have kept our limit or even over but we didn’t. We only kept what our family could eat. We don’t like frozen fish. Only give fish away to elderly or to handicapped. Try to go quail hunting these days. Mostly all your going to shoot is pen raised birds.Not the same. So again what can we do to stop progress & Livescope? Maybe I should change my name from silverroach to canepole! Not a rant just the facts for the most part. I think we are all together. But there’s a bigger picture always.
