Are CO ANGLERS Ruining Tournament BASS FISHING

[@MichaelWestfall-bd7fo]

Great take on the situation. I love to fish as a co angler. And you are 100% spot on. I don't want to do away with Co's but I don't really enjoy fishing behind a " scoper".

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Mike. It can be a challenging day. Especially if they are good at it.

[@jerryhall437]

Great Perspective Gabe! As you know I’m a boater currently but I have also fished as a co.. like you I fish for the experience. My days of wanting to compete professionally are likely behind me but I enjoy the competition and the camaraderie. Who knows … as I age I may want to go back to being a Co- 0:30 angler .. I’ve enjoyed fishing with 99% of the CO’s I’ve fished with . Keep up the good work! See you at Pickwick!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Jerry. It's a fun day on the water if we let it be. Tight lines!

[@af4od02]

All your thoughts are exactly mine. I hope the co angler experience doesn’t go away. I have left co angling because of FFS. I have also dropped my annual membership from the tournament organizations. It seems to me technology has basically driven me away. I don’t blame the boaters for using FFS. I have never had the desire and time and money to invest to be a competitive boater. But, I do enjoy competing against my fellow co anglers. I have always felt the co angler was necessary to keep the tournament rules in check.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Appreciate the comment. I hope you get back into it someday.

Co anglers are not ruining bass fishing/tournaments. Tournaments are ruining bass fishing.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Man that's a solid point. They definitely have a big impact on a fishery.

[@TonyThompson-z8s]

I fished my first tournament as co-angler on Neely Henry a coupe months ago. Really enjoyed the day, was non stop getting after it. The boater was using forward facing sonar along the bank, grass and docks etc. I ended up catching three keepers and the boater culled maybe 4 times. Great experience, I have signed up for another co-angler tournament the end of this month.I hope they continue with co-angler formatted tournaments. I did give the boater 40$ for gas even though he said he didn’t want the gas money.

[@JAMESJONES-gn8wq]

Hi was reading your comments. I’m a boater looking for a co angler link for the Al River tournament w/e of 9/14-15. If you know anyone please let me know. Been having a hard time finding a link which helps garuntee both of us participating. If a boater doesn’t sign up with a link before the deadline he is subject to getting drawn with another boater which none of the boaters really like because you then have to see who’s boat you use & split the day up front 50/50. Anyway sorry for the long reply but since you were new to process wanted to explain. Thx

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Awesome Tony. Glad you had a good experience and good luck in the next one.

[@jerryg957]

All good points you make, I always thought the co angler was there to keep everything on the up and up.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Jerry. Ya that's probably the main reason.

[@JAMESJONES-gn8wq]

I’ve fished a lot of BFL’s mainly as a boater & I think your comments are pretty spot on. One thing I would like to see for fairness purposes is less official practice time. I never fish my home lake so even if I get Thursday & Friday to practice going against locals is tough. I think BFL’s should have one practice day with prior Monday going off limits. This would make things more equal & also cut down of gas & travel costs! Also have a bonus prize for the highest boater + co angler combined weight so this helps the boater work with his co instead of possibly against him. It could be a Sponsor bonus or something but a secondary prize. Just some thoughts. Practice fishing is not fun when you’re holding back on catching. Make these Tourns more “equal & competitive “!!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Interesting feedback. I appreciate it. That would be a fun format. Thanks for the input

[@corymiles248]

Such as WON Bass. Excellent format and no whiners.

[@Abe_Sinclair]

Top finishers this year at Bass Nation all brought their own live sonar units in a backpack and attached it to their boaters boat..... I said that would happen as a joke last year, but I'm not prepared to have to do that just to get a check as a co....

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

I don't think I would bring my own scope because of the hassle. It would be nice tho

[@joewinkler2168]

Good one Gabe! Although I've never been a co, that is on my bucket list, sooner than later as I'm 69 yo. But running my own tournament series , it gets in the way. But I do hope when the chance comes I get to meet op with ya! Love your content. JW

[@josephtaylor5165]

I’ve been fishing ABA and BfL for 15 years. I chose to spend the extra money to fish as a boater. Even if I fish with an co angler the cost is still the same. I have made a lot of friends having co anglers. Gabe was one of them. It’s just a bonus to have them help with gas and net fish. I’ve learned new things from them catching fish behind me. Bad as I hate to say it. They help keep the competition in line. Some reason a few people have forgotten that integrity and honesty is a major part of this sport. I think co anglers like Gabe will find a way to catch fish behind live scope. But they can just as easily draw lesser angler like me!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Dude I'm glad we met and have spent several days in the boat together. You are one of the good friends I've made fishing the BFL's. I appreciate your feedback buddy.

[@jkos563]

as far as the boater goes in the BFL'S I think they would be willing to pay the extra $100 to make up the loss of not having a co angler.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

I think some would but just as many wouldn’t.

[@MikeFosterOutdoors]

I welcome the co anglers in my boat. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with them as well as 9 times out of 10 they are great company. The co anglers need to stay IMO.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Mike. I imagine you're good to fish with.

[@johnchaney8967]

Gabe you made some really good points, I have been a co angler for the last 9 years, I have had boaters say they really need to get rid of co's to my face, I get it their boat, their time , the travel, food, gas all of it, but in the same breathe their comment is I was going to fish it with or without you, one of the main problems is when a boater or co do not do well in the first2 events the usually say screw it, leaving the boater or co looking for a link, I think if you are going to fish a tournament series no matter what you should finish it unless some medical or death comes up I get it sometime work gets in the way, but to just give up because you had a few bad events is wrong. I fish the Bfl hoosier and it's a hard series hell two fish on the co's side you might win or cash a check,its a struggle, you can ask any boater that I fish with I do my best to make sure he has what he needs, ice, water, snacks and anything else I can help with, I give 60 dollars to them to help for fuel if i damage something i offer to get it fixed, i understand the cost of it all, but for a boater to say we are a problem and we should be gone is just wrong. Yes, both sides will get that one person that they will say never again, it happens but for a boater to say that a co was the reason he didn't catch fish that is just crazy, as a co we have no say in where we go or how safely we get there, I always ask my boater what is his guide line on where i can and cannot cast and I ask yeah if your done fishing that laydown stump or whatever do you mind if i have a shot at it, I am learning at the same time trying to figure out why he chose that to cast at, not our fault if we so happen to catch the 4 pounder there you moved to the next target. I have also quit fishing an hour to a half hour before we go in if the boater has 4 fish or 5 and is trying to upgrade, yes it sucks but I am there to learn have fun and help. As far as the FSS situation who cares go fish, that is what your there for I have fished with boaters that use it yes it helps them but I have also outfished boaters that use it so it shouldn't matter. I think if you communicate with each other before and during the tournament you both should be okay and on the same plan. Sorry for the novel but this really gets me made as a co I know some are going to say get a boat and tell me how you feel, plain and simple co's and boaters need to work together and stop bashing each other, I have seen professional anglers say co should be gone, funny they all seem to forget how they got their start. Suggestion for all boaters and co angler at the end of the year when you find out next year schedule get link up right then and there and help each other out stop waiting for last minute, ask question and to the ones that answer the comment be cool about don't be an ass hat or a whine bag some of the people are just starting out. thanks for letting me get this out lol. Can't wait to ready all the comments lmao.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Sounds like you are a great Co to fish with John. You are p[art of the solution. Communication is key! I agree with your points buddy. At the end of the day it's just a tournament. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and good luck in 2025 and beyond.

Enjoy the videos, however as a boater when i find a stretch of bank with fish I typically will run it more than one time. So, catching one behind a boater is potentially catching one I may catch on the 2nd or 3rd pass? Just a thought anyways.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Good point but sometimes fish move up in and out of an area. It's possible the fish may be gone on the second pass. Just throwing that out there.

[@rexellis4120]

My experience as a co-angler was my Pro wanted to leave that spot as soon as I started catching fish- That rubbed me wrong because I paid money to fish too!!! I wish that there was some rules on that situation!!!

Ya that happens sometimes

[@ronaldstewart3400]

99%of boaters now used to fish as a co angler, most of them forget where they came from..

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Good point Ronald

[@thedogdaysoffishing]

The main reason to having a co angler or marshall in the boat is to keep the boater honest. In my opinion as a co angler you shouldn't have to give the boater gas money. You are not on a guided trip. He isn't trying to put you on fish. You are strictly there to keep him honest. Being a co angler is sort of like playing the lottery. Your boater draw has a lot to do with whether you catch fish or not. The only thing you are guaranteed as a co is the chance to observe an angler for the day and potentially learn some tips that will make you a better angler.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Gas money helps cover some of the costs the boater encored while they were practicing to find fish. The co is also riding around in the boat all day without having to buy a boat. Plus we are fishing. It's just the right thing to do.

[@dariusking2927]

When money is involved in anything it usually messes everything up no matter what it is 👍👍👍

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

10000%

[@davisba5]

Pretty much agree with everything you are saying. Would I rather not get paired up with a boater that is targeting single fish in open water, certainly, but if it happens I will deal with it. I don't think there is anyway they can get rid of the Co's in BFL tournaments, they need them to limit cheating and many boaters are not going to be able to afford the extra expense. One of my main concerns with FFS in general is the conservation side. I am worried that in the long run it is going to affect our fisheries in a negative way.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Davis! Great points. We have to do our best with what opportunities we have. FFS has made fish tougher to catch in some lakes. It could possible hurt the crappie population.

[@timzdrazil6531]

I spent 6 years fishing as a co angler in BFL and Toyota level before switching to the front of the boat. Probably 35 to 40 tournaments on the back. There is literally ONE guy I wouldn't fish with again given the chance. He wasn't even a 'bad' guy... he is just so introverted and focused I was basically fishing by myself all day. He even shot me in the face with bang crawfish scent because he literally just forgot I was there. LOL

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

LOL That's brutal. I bet all the stray cats in the neighborhood were following you. Honestly, that's good feedback on the co/bpater relationship. I've had similar success minus the BANG.

[@jimfitz7449]

My biggest thing when i fished co was. The boaters act like they are the only ones that spent money and time to fish. Thats why i moved to boater. I enjoy most of the cos i have fished with.

Most boaters are really great to fish with. I've had a few that made me feel like I was only in the boat so they could fish the tournament but that's life.

[@user-iy6rz1eq9x]

I herd a good opinion from John Crews have the boaters pay extra if they dont want a co ..the anglers dont really care about co anglers not all but most and a wouldn't want to fish a tournament with a guy running down fish or combined the weight

[@warrenwhitaker8498]

I have fished both sides of the game. I started off as a co-angler and had a lot of good experiences, also had some bad boater experiences. I don’t think co’s are ruining anything I think there some boaters out there that are all about me me me. With all this said if the co anglers are eliminated then don’t be upset about increased entry fees and the like. I have learned tons about people being in the back of the boat. I does make you learn to figure out how to catch fish behind someone.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Warren. Appreciate the comment.

[@larrydiveley7799]

If they got rid of coanglers in bfls they would have to raise entry on boater side to cover cost of cos but I fish on boater side don't mind having co actually clued me in on something by catching behind me when what I have been doing isn't working but is nice for people to get out when they can't afford to do boater side I can see both sides

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks for the comment. The boater n co can sort of work together

[@kathyg4906]

With off shore FFS fishing being more common I think coangler participation will continue to decline. Especially when boaters are targeting a fish or a couple fish out deeper. Shared weight might make that better. Boater gets their weight and coangler gets best 5 from both. Some recent coangler KZbin videos show issues with fishing chasing FFS and negative effects on cos ie catch no fish.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

I think you're right about less co participation on certain lakes. Several folks have mentioned the combined weight format. That would be interesting.

[@lynnmoss1183]

MLF is in a tough spot in the BFLs. They would need to raise boater fees by $110, to make up for not having co-anglers. A few years ago the BFL raised fees that amount and participation dropped dramatically. They lowered the entry fee back the following year. Some co-anglers travel with boaters, sharing expenses, that would be lost. No matter what they decide, someone will not be happy, Boaters will refuse to be paired with boaters. Boaters don't want shared weight. Majority of boaters don't want LS banned. Boaters don't want higher entry fees. Will boaters trust other boaters on an honor system with no co-anglers? Boat cameras won't cut it, and will be adding another expense. Maybe polygraph anglers, and what's that cost on site? IMO, the BFLs need co-anglers to police each other, so the co-anglers need more incentives to fish. Maybe raise boater fees $25. 90-100% payback all to the winning co-angler ($10,000 for 100 boats), with sponsor consolation prizes for the top 5 or 10. $1,000 bonus to the boater having the winning co-angler. IDK, BFLs are in a tough spot. It could be the end.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Interesting take. Appreciate it. I stopped fishing the BFL's for a few years (prior to MLF) because they kept raising entry fees.

[@dalenorth2512]

Boaters should be rewarded if their co-angler does well.

[@lightningmusky5286]

I don’t see co anglers ruining anything. The boater should be able to just fish normally. Coanglers were never guaranteed anything. I don’t do tournaments but definitely wouldn’t want to share the boat with someone I don’t know. Team partner tourney is different experience as you pick your teammate.

[@billyhaney5002]

With ffs I thing the day of co anglers is coming to a end. You can’t compete with a boater fishing suspended fish in deep waters. A lot of co anglers have stop coming to tournaments . If co anglers are half the tournament income , there going to have to do something to keep co anglers coming back , or not have co anglers. Thanks for sharing Gabe .

Oh boy, when it comes to FFS, the Devil is in the details. Waterboy's Mom would say "Forward Facing Sonar is the Devil", Lol. The thinking about fishing really changes when it becomes a money winning competition, which is understandable, but I don't think eliminating co-anglers is an answer, especially when FFS is the real issue. The Boater and Co-angler do become somewhat of a team, even though it's not the Boater's job to put the Co-angler on fish, but they both can learn from each other is some situations. When things become political, the soul is lost, let's find a way to "Make Fishing Great Again"!

As a Co, your mindset determines your day. If you have the attitude that your boater should put you on fish and he doesn’t, it’s YOUR fault for setting your expectations that way. The only thing you can control as a Co is your actions and how you adapt to the day. I hope they don’t get rid of Co-Anglers because right now, it’s the only way I can compete because of financial/lifestyle reasons.

[@raymondbradford4086]

We as a fan of bass fishing get a one way view of things alot of times from the pros telling the narrative about whatever topic.. Truth... older co angler programs were done away with because pros would draw a co angler knowledgeable about the body of water and would "help" the pro get a better finish then they would have by themselves... that happened way more often than a co angler hurting a pro some way... also the boater knows beforehand that the tournament he is paying into is a co angler event.. so why be upset.. you knew you was being paired up from the jump... co anglers need to stay in these tournaments if for nothing else than to minimize cheating ... good experience and generally a good time overall...

[@ChrisHenderson-by8lj]

Fishing is Gambling, it may require long hours, but you don't have a boss or punch clocks, schedule vacations, so it's pay to play. Co anglers are marshals short and simple. When BASS pros spoke up, they replaced with Marshall's. To be a BASS Marshall, it costs 99.oo. rider still paying to police the angler. Classic Marshall pays 500.oo to ride per day. BASS still getting paid by the marshals. If you want to learn from that pro you drew as co boater, I'd just watch instead of fishing out of yhe boat. My boat, my investment, why shouldn't the co boater pay the owner of the boat to fish. Not a fan of co anglers. It's the luck of the draw and that don't test the field. Some boaters are not fans of Co's. In short, you wanna pay to play, get your own ride.
