Is LIVESCOPE RUINING Fishing?? ( SETTLING THE BIGGEST CONTROVERSY)

[@crazykids2004]

Oh the wonders of fishing I'm a nope scope myself since I didn't grow up with it and I catch fish without it regardless

[@CreedGarner]

I enjoy catching them without scope rather than using it. I do have it and sometimes I do have to use it, especially in tournament situations. It does come in handy when going after a limit of crappie or white bass especially though

[@anonymouse7074]

You can have livescope, tons of gear, hundred fish swimming around your boat (shown on live) and not catch a single fish. Happened to me, many times

[@alexlandmeyer5439]

You’re missing the bigger picture.

[@krunch2653]

9:04 I don’t get why people don’t like drum. I love bass fishing, it’s what I do. Drum are a welcome bycatch in my book though. They get large and can eat bottom baits like jigs and that doesn’t bother me. I think they are a fun native species. Idk

To probably hurting some but not as much as there are to many tournaments on our lakes that’s hurting way more than scoping

[@villodas3]

That's how a competition should be done and in the old days there was no life scope and it was better, great work team no scope.

If you can’t succeed at KZbin without buying subs,views and comments you should quit. Check the analytics, these hacks haven’t had a new sub since Christmas. They are playing everyone. 1.3 million subs and less then 50 k views. ROFL. Numbers don’t lie.

[@SmithBeatZ1]

Not really true fishing if you ask me. It's too easy now and that takes all the work out of it and long hours finding a bite. More rewarding to do it all on your own. Kinda like game hunting on an enclosed fenced in piece of land..

Hey come to Arizona and do Bartlett or Pleasant lake. I got a boat and the know. 😊

[@brianb6969]

Or, does sonar Affect the fish? I've heard that it does.. (especially with whales). That's what I am curious about.

[@leebooker4216]

I personally think between the barrier to entry then the fact that it looks like you're playing a video game on a boat rather then enjoying the hunt to me seems ridiculous. I seen some kids on a boat this weekend in same cove as me and that's all they did was stare at the screen while they reeled in. Is that what fishing is to us? To me its a tradition and it's the thrill of the hunt. It's the I see a high percentage area let's check it and find out with my lure rather then oh nothing there no reason to cast.

[@kennethwhitaker2280]

Absolutely there's an advantage to having any of it especially forward facing is the best. Just ask milikin fishing lol

[@bostonbassgod6663]

Really comes down too if your a nerd or a savage

[@madam497]

Best replacement for livescope is to have a kayak or boat to get off the bank. Don't mind me, I use livescope on the fishing pier. 😈🤣

[@qurijncoetzee4938]

To me this is what i feel : Live scope does have its advantages and maybe in tournaments practice days live scope as much as you want but on tournament day no live scope use what you learned and take it from there.... I dont know i only bank fish due to cost of a boat and in South africa you are pretty limited on to bank fishing but i mean you do you fish the way you want to ......

[@brianwolf692009]

Scoping of any kind should not be allowed in tournaments. They're okay if you want to get kids interested in fishing, but they should learn to read the water (more important). Tournaments should be won by knowing what bait/lure to use. Like Bill Dance, Roland Martin, Hank Parker, Villis Dowden, etc.

[@georgiannegooday9108]

What reel is that blue with cork handles button?

[@mrgreen8357]

Yes definitely live scope is advantage like for instance rackly fishing for crappie he can look down on the crappie and drop the bait right on their head in deep water and be able to pick and choose between a large and small fish you can see everything on live scope sure you can see fish in the shallow and cast to them but in deep water with live scope you can see your bait go down on the fish of your choice and bug it over and over till it bites and it takes all skill out of it and it's basically a way for people that have money and no skill to fish or people that are lazy

[@jonathancaldwell-km5ig]

I don’t think it’s anything like spotlighting deer. I’ve always compared it to having a tracking device on the deer.

[@swiftarrowoutdoors]

The answer is easy you either learn to adapt or you get left behind. Live scope yes allows you to see fish but doesn't make them bite.

[@theINQBS]

Randy has been right all along and assholes the likes of Milliken who RELY on FFS and Livescope will now have to show they are real "Professional" bass fisherman. Bass fishing is an intricate artform and true professionals should know how to read water to know what lies beneath the surface of the water and FEEL where to cast, when, and with what, PERIOD! FFS & LS make it so it can literally be called Catching instead of fishing. It's great if you're going out just to fish for yourself, but when someone is fishing professionally for money, they should never be allowed to rely electronics to find moans for them.

[@Basil_Gidus]

One of my favorite bass fishing soft plastics is the bandito bug. The only complaint is when I set the hook, the top of the bait (near the line) just splits. It’s been costing me a good amount of money and i’m wondering if it’s happening to anyone else. Does anyone else have this problem?

[@JMON3Y0319]

It happens I get 2 3ish fish before I have to switch. Nuke punch definitely last longer.

Lfg. Question: if you're fishing in a tournament with ffs, why would you want a coangler? Since you're with the aimbot what's the insensitive for the coangler. Or insensitive for you to take a coangler when you can just aimbot all the fish.

[@sergebouchard4809]

Scope remove the fun part of fishing

[@bridgelaurie9490]

Like someone’s mentioned they should allow ffs in practice but tourney days no ffs. That way if you wanna go find them and mark them do it but go back and catch them in true form. Watching them chase and eat your lure is no different than aquarium fishing at bass pro let’s be real

[@brandonreynolds3884]

I think its way overpriced!! Not worth it to me. If you fish tornements in the summer it would be hard to compete without it

[@jackstraw4129]

Been a fan of Jon and AP since NSF2. The going back to the bedding bass for the catch was great video. Let's be honest. I've learned from the Googan Squad about stressed "fisheries" and the death toll of bass in tournament fishing. There can be a balance. I don't have all the answers. I'm not a small g googan bass fisherman. Why rip lips on pregnant females as the ultimate goal? These questions should be asked, acknowledged and moved forward on. Like forward facing sonar or not. Conservationism used to be the goal. Let's not let technology totally remove us from what is and always will be a fun sport and a way of supplying food. Btw, don't throw live fish in the bottom of a jon boat. Dispatch them first. Doesn't cost a penny and they eat just as good. Cheers.

[@ItsMasq]

Livescope can be nice to have for recreational fishing. Maybe you don’t have a ton of time and just want to be on some fish - I get that, but for me atleast, it takes away from the surprise and “hope” lol. But tech like this has NO place in the tournament scene.

You will never be a good/better angler watching every move of the fish you're trying to catch use it to locate them then turn it off like how they were made to be used it's a fish finder not live TV

[@CosmickCowboy]

What would happen if something like livescope would exist in hunting? Just walk or ride around on a deer lease with some sort of drone thermal camera flying around and just track where these bucks are then bam! Technology is great, however, are there some things where this should be left out of?

[@madtownangler]

They have deer farms with huge racked deer where they already do this. CWD is rampant in those states.

[@bgb946]

yeah like food plots and trail cameras everywhere 😂 I'm just saying people are already using alot of things and know if deer are around. Most people that go hunting don't go into the woods blind. My dad could tell you how many bucks are on his property year round.

[@madtownangler]

@@bgb946 all the big bucks on my buddies land show up after dark LOL. I told him to sleep in his deer shack that's insulated and not scared all the deer away driving up to his stand . All the big deer seem to go to his neighbors house they get some monsters over there

[@win300mag1]

It is becoming too easy to hunt and fish to be honest and it is hurting the lakes and land. I’m 37 so I’m old enough to remember when I first got out in the woods and on the lakes before smart phones were a thing and I have very clearly with my own two eyes watched how the quality of the outdoors has taken a nose dive since technology has put the world at everything at everyone’s finger tips with minimal sacrifice. Not sure anyone will stop using any of it but it’s definitely hurt the outdoor recreation sport. I know a lot of the really young guys may not see it that way because your perspective is limited. Just wait another 20 years if things don’t change and let’s have this conversation again. At some point, we need to wise up and make better decisions.

[@dakotastarkey1838]

It isn’t fair and never will be fair end of story no ifa ands or buts about it . Not only do you have the freaking boat to take the live scope to see where the fish are whever the hell they are and you go and catch them there’s no if ands or about that . If you know fishing by now if fish are there they will eat it’s just matching the hatch . But guess what it’s not the same for people who don’t own a 20k+ boat some people go out all day moving from spot to spot just to get a freaking nibble in done with the live scope argument there is no argument it’s truly cheating …

[@ristol6867]

[@jefflovinfishin621]

It’s really not debatable. There’s a reason all the tournaments are being won by scoping, not to mention record numbers of century belts being won. It will 100% destroy trout populations in lakes as well as crappie populations. You guys have made a living by going against the grain and speaking your minds, you know it’s not good for the sport. Take a side guys.

[@lukecarter3873]

nah not really

[@andrewgorniak6173]

In my opinion, livescoop helps you find the fish, but you still have to find the fish that want to bite your bate, so dose it really help. I say yes and no

[@fishandfrog2251]

I agree 100% I have livescope and still catch most of my fish not using it. I find it distracts me a lot and gets me casting at bass that don’t want to eat or fish that aren’t even bass 😂

[@4sterp542]

Bro if it helps you find fish then the more you can find then the more likely you are to find a big bass. All a numbers game of how many fish you can find but that also means that you have better odds of that big one in the school biting your bait. Techniques can change based on the structure or area of lake you are fishing so it’s a Yes,Yes. Absolutely helps.

[@fishandfrog2251]

@@4sterp542 I agree it does help, like a lot lol but what I was try say was that a lot of people cry about it and I don’t think that it has that big of an impact as people make it out to be

[@andrewgorniak6173]

My point is that it helps find fish it doesn't tell you what kind of fish it is on the screen it just shows that there are fish in front of you

[@IBenFishin]

jon b and rackley on a team is already and advantage they should have been the no scope team

Livescope, I don't think effects bass fishing but fish people keep it could become a problem. It just has to get cheap enough more people have it and i could see it hurting crappie or fish people eat. I'm sure really smart people are studying this every year and can adjust things to help the fish.

I'm okay with it in pro fishing. They fish lakes big enough where it shouldn't be that much of factor plus most guys on the tour should/would be able to afford it... I'm against it in local fishing club tournaments though. It hurts the growth of bass fishing in that sense.
