not even fishing anymore its basically just a video game staring at a screen

[@adam4liberty]

A live bait tournament would be something. But they would make rules for that lol.

[@keithallen8662]

Tried to watch. Opted to go and watch paint dry. More entertaining. 😢

[@joeys7519]

Yea because watching someone drag a Carolina rig is perfect cinema

[@michaelrobinson6988]

This crap is damn boring to watch anymore. I’m not watching most of these dude run around Winnie worming with a fairy wand, looking at a screen all day, and making very few casts. However, it’s good to watch if you can’t sleep, turning these tournaments on now days is the best sleep aid ever. 20 minutes in and your sound asleep.

[@cjr4497]

For the love of BASS, ban FFS! This shit has to stop. It is miserable and I'm watchable.

[@user-zw6iu6jr2y]

Complete crap watching a scope derby

[@derekclark7667]

Technology takes the thinking out of it. I get it that these youngans can make an argument for anything. Thats how they been brought up. Everything this fau has to be easy or somewhat handed to these youngans. Dont want to put in the time or work. How i weep for the future

[@kokalol]

I better go bank fishing tomorrow. No FFS needed ill just figure out where the fish are.

[@matthewcritchfield6997]

I love Bass, Dave Mercer, Mark Zona, Tommy Sanders, davie, height, but man this on the water coverage is terrible and FFS is terrible, these guys are already the best in the world. They don’t need a cheating device.👍🇺🇸

[@user-rf6xw7gb9p]

Stop showing guys staring at their FFS. Either show an angler catching or covering water.

[@raidersc9066]

Fairy 🧚 stick 3 inch baits and staring at a flat screen t.v all day. This has to banned please

[@ronjennings8226]

Touring Anglers Association I hope this league goes gang buster’s FFS will be in its own league FFS is the same as spot lighting deer

[@treydavis8534]

OK watch this somebody staring at the screen not making no cas

[@chriswainwright755]

Whoever scheduled this in February missed the mark. Should have been in March so all the pros that fish shallow at least could compete. I’m going cut my grass this is boring lol.

[@norbgeniec8721]

When it comes down to the top 25 are sticky live scopers, then nothing will change. This is Boring .

[@fishybassvon5752]

If I have enough fund, I’d like to sponsor an elite event with no FFS allowed, I’ll buy them out to not using FFS at all and see who prevails, and see how viewship of the event compare to the other ones.

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

The same guys would they caught them long before FFS it's not as easy as u think and it's not 1985 anymore

[@fishybassvon5752]

@@slabbusterrtr7690 so you saying they don’t need FFS after all? Then go ahead and remove FFS.

[@chadjackson4786]

google a picture of "middle of the ocean" and you get the same excitement from watching these guys livescope. Cant even see the screens as a viewer. The anglers dont even provide insight into how they are using it. All the top end units have HDMI out, thus bassmaster should be able to put the screen up for the viewers to see the direct feed. Needs to be banned in events anyway since it isnt even fishing anymore. the one dude said "i only need to make 4 good casts". Actual fishing back as soon as 3 years ago took 1000 casts a day.

[@linetherapyfishing]

This is stupid to watch.

[@josemayor3223]

Production sucks this year, man is this hard to watch

[@BindeeVangFishing]

Watched the live all day and enjoyed it! Jason Christie and Greg Hackney banged the shoreline all day yesterday and got a small bag. The top anglers are fishing for offshore fish that are WINNING fish. If you wanna win a blue trophy, you gotta chase winning fish. Unfortunately its not that fun to watch, however, BASSMASTER does a great job at providing insight on how its done.

[@derekclark7667]

Live scoping has ruined the sport. It's no fun watching. Hats off to the guys that still beat the bank.

[@user-rf6xw7gb9p]

Lol. Well, saw about 5 fish caught and 2 were on a commercial. Very poor coverage by Bassmaster producers.

[@stephanieslaton1781]

Fishing is no longer a sport. It’s hunting fish. That’s all they’re doing. I think I saw maybe 15 casts in this whole thing, waiting for it to get better. Never did. Viewership is going to go waaaay down. That’ll hurt Bassmaster too. They’ve picked their poison IMO.

[@rickfernald3452]

They screwed the pooch with allowing forward facing sonar, imagine if deer hunting was with drones, same thing, Get FFS out of Tournaments, or you will become BS Master, not Bassmasters, Make BASS FISHING GREAT AGAIN!

[@craigmiller3648]

Dumb broadcast sorry, no way to celebrate video game experts with seven screens. BASS missed the chance to regulate this. The Classic will be a joke.

[@tjo-outdoors8514]

What would you be doing if you were in that anglers shoes? Flip the bank and get your a$$ handed to you??? Since you and all these other people hate ffs y’all need to get together and pay BASS more money than than Garmin, lowrance, humminbird combined. If you can’t they won’t listen to you.

[@beardedtexan6531]

Stupid post, alot better watching them catch 32lbs instead of 12lbs

[@craigmiller3648]

@@tjo-outdoors8514 the angler is not the issue. They failed to regulate. It’s no longer anything but a video game. He has what seven transducers? I don’t blame him but it’s real close to not even fishing. He doesn’t look at the water, even pre cast. If you are going to question or attack me post, at least read it.

[@craigmiller3648]

@@tjo-outdoors8514 I don’t need to pay them anything, just stop watching the video game. Viewership is down, that’s all that matters

[@joeys7519]

Nah I love it

[@rickfernald3452]

I wonder why they turned off the live chat???, maybe because the chat showed how much we think FFS is so WRONG for Tournament fishing, and forget about Buddy Tourney's that ship sailed. B.A.S.S. you wont get anyone to pay for buddy tournaments, WAKE UP "BS Masters!"

[@cjr4497]

For the love of BASS, ban FFS! This is miserable to watch.

[@stephanieslaton1781]

Most boring tournament I’ve ever watched. The only reason they are tired is from standing all day. It sure wasn’t from casting the rod. I make more casts than these guys did in 8 hours and I’m a female. Horrible coverage.

[@timothyverdine6431]

Watching them throw at a spawning fish for 30 mins is more entertaining than scoping? I don't think so. Might help if BASS would try to get the anglers more interactive when on live. They can definitely talk more while scoping for viewership. Should just have a camera on the "Gman" everyday 😅

[@fishybassvon5752]

Spawning does not happen all year round all water depth 😂

[@timothyverdine6431]

True just an example. The sport has always evolved as electronics. Started with flashers then 2D then side and down scan, 360 now livescope. It is what it is

[@fishybassvon5752]

@@timothyverdine6431 tech has no good or bad, it’s the way we use it. It propels, it also bites.

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Yeah these folks think using FFS is easy that tells me they never used one is exactly what it means and they stuck in 1985

[@jaypowers2258]

Boring

[@rogerarthur8314]

FFS is cheating and it’s making the sport boring to watch I’m sorry but it is what it is and needs to change

[@jeffs9852]

I can't think of a more boring viewing experience than watching anglers stare at a screen all day. I turned it off.

[@codyfussell2892]

To all the haters out there. Don’t blame FFS. Blame the fishing industry for broadcasting this and telling what lake they’re fishing at. You have no idea how over fished these lakes get. FFS is necessary to catch a decent bag because other wise they wouldn’t even be catching 10 pound bags.

[@KyleStjohn-lu6ew]

Yall should stop complaining and buy you a sonar and fish with it you will completely understand why you need electronics in a tournament

[@larrystromberg2840]

You cant put the genie back in the bottle...It isnt as exciting to watch.Ill give you that..

[@jfed1972]

They would be dropping on them with 2D or DI if they didn't have LS. Get rid of all or none. It's pretty simple.

[@fishybassvon5752]

DI or 2D looks down under, not forward, not live, not even close

[@printfish1]

No one complained when Amart used his side imaging on the trolling motor and was doing the same thing.

Awesome! The youth has embraced FFS, and the one thing that never loses is youth. I’m in my mid twenties. I grew up fishing traditional shallow and fished offshore a lot. Offshore was a strength of mine before LiveScope…Embraced everything and enjoy everything. You know what looked the exact same… pre FFS…. fishing offshore 😂 lol. People just love to complain.

[@bassAssassin187]

I don't mind it but i want to view the live and Bassmaster needs to set each screen up so they can digitally get the screen information from any boat so it can be broadcasted. Run split screen with the live. Looking at a back all day does get boring especially with no commentary but if we get the live and the back i will be satisfied. I attribute this time in fishing to the steroid era in baseball and i believe its the perfect analogy because who doesn't want to see records smashed and monster stringers??🤔🫵 Were gonna go back to the lower avg...ehhh id get comfortable but if they don't work livescope out this not gonna last for viewers.
