Thread: Article: “Drop Down On Em” – The New LiveScope Search Technique By Bernard Williams

Sad to see the sport go this way IMO

Terrova on the back, Ultrex on the front, LiveScope, 22 foot Ranger...probably more than I paid for my first house. This has pretty much gotten like feeding the turkeys and shooting them in your back yard.

I think livescope should be banned from tournaments. Doesn't sound like fair chase at all. Similar to spotlighting deer. Why not just sein the lake and pick out the big ones and say look at what skill I have!

JMO, but that’s is a tremendous reach trying to compare livescope to spotlighting deer. Not even in the same ballpark really.

Oh and FWIW I do not have livescope.

I agree all this technology is taking away from the angling aspect but that is the direction these tournaments are going. I mean in the summer I use an underwater light at night to attract fish so that's pretty much the same thing. There is a lot of fishing equipment besides live scope that has given the angler a huge advantage over the fish.
