I’m a Florida fisherman and I’ve been following the classic since the early 80’s watching Rick Clunn, Paul Elias , Larry Nixon, Hank Parker, George Corcoran,Shawn Grigsby etc use skills, knowledge of the fish, water temperature, water clarity etc., all played a part of what makes bass fishing what it truly what it is.Forward Facing Sonar has taken all of that out of bass fishing. Disgust me to even watch bass fishing now…

All has beens. Don't watch if you don't like the new style of fishing. The days of the big fat dudes leaning against the front butt chairs casting a 10" worm against the bank are long gone.

I absolutely love the classic but Tulsa is not the location at all for grand lake ( and I'm in tulsa co. ) I just wish a local to "grand lake" even if temporary would be set up close to the lauch site for the BMC weigh in lieu of transport well over an hour for weigh in. Lake Keystone BMC weigh in at BOK thats another story. Heck Joplin Mo is closer if you need a " big city" to do the weigh in. then again i know nothing

What a bore to watch. Ban FFS. I don’t understand the argument for keeping it. This is supposed to be pro angling. When everyone and every win depends on harassing one fish at a time spotlighting it’s now no longer the same thing. This shouldn’t be called BassMasters, it’s the tech. I’m not impressed by anyone who wins on FFS. In reality the tech is winning, not the angler.

FFS. Is really boring in my opinion. I have a truly sincere question for those of you that like it.. what is it about FFS that is exiting to you? I’ve fished with one and tried to watch and it’s just not that challenging? What am I missing? I have won boats and a few dollars in bass tournaments im not totally unintelligent. No need to insult me. Just truly curious
