Hank Parker video… • I'm on The HOT SEAT! Q... - Sport
The grass needs mowing, the house needs painting, where’s he at! Gone Fishing! Loved watching Hank Parker
Bill Dance for the win.
Don't 4get that instrumental🎶🎣
Put em on the scale Dewey
@@TB-zw7dti was happy to watch both
@@stonehorn4641 Bill added that extra blooper takes twist...Greatest✨️🎣🤣
This is why Hank Parker is a legend! Hank took his time, thought about it, then nailed it right on the head. Hopefully more people will take a stand.
He's very intelligent and articulate.
Mush mouth is the new articulation. Got it. @@daleporter9162
They won’t. But we sure can hope. It’s shocking all these veteran fishermen are letting this happen. Sure have lost a lot of respect for most all of them.
100
I hope not.
The golf and baseball analogies are spot on.
Yep, they stopped ball advancement ahead of time. Sure wish cell cameras never existed for hunting as well as ffs for fishing. Reversal might be difficult.
Metal driver.......originally wood. Ball goes 40yards further since the 80's.My father left High School for the Dodgers he hit 29 home runs the year I was born. The ball has changed bigtime.Hank is a gentlemen...but he ended his pro fishing B.A.S.S in his mid 30's. He has no skin in the game he can talk. Love him and Randy class 100%
Not really, baseball had to add a pitching clock to make the games go faster cuz they were losing viewers. It wont be too much longer before they adopt even more tech to make the game more exciting imo.
@@nauseous001 They won't be juicing the balls....
Not really
Man every bass fisherman in the country needs to hear this, he said it so well and absolutely nailed the issue on the head.
It's just not bass fishing, you got to understand what it does to all types of fishing. Musky,fish of 10,000 casts, now becomes fish of 100 casts or less. And the more frequent these fish are handled by inexperienced anglers the more susceptible they are to harm. It can destroy waters for sure
@@whitetail229 - Yep!
Very true.
Inexperienced anglers aren't the ones buying it.
@@chrisbarenthin5847 you'd be surprised
I woke up early Sunday mornings in the 80's. Ate my cereal and watched Bill, Hank, and Jimmy . I loved watching fishing when I was little.
Yeah it was a great time watching fishing on Tnn back in the day. I used to watch Sunday evening like 4 or 5 shows in a row loved it
I think it’s very admirable of Hank to back Randy on this subject.Always rooted for Parker just like I root for Randy. Now I know why.
Just about every competitive sport has restrictions, and those restrictions are there for important reasons. Competitive runners can't have shoes with a stack height of more than 40mm and no more than one carbon plate. Baseball, as mentioned. Swimming supersuits, carbon graphite cricket bats, sticky gloves in football, etc. Biking, F1, stock car racing all have banned equipment. There is an important conversation that needs to take place in competitive fishing.
100%!!
If they are the badass pros they claim to be, let them prove it by going out with no electronics and sacking them up....yeah that's what I thought.
Ya go out there and beat sponsored pros with prototype baits that are available to no one else, ya that’s fair. The pros are getting lazy and don’t want to learn it. But they are fine with side imaging and there 360 sonars or the sound making devices mimicking bait fish…
@@AT6erYou missed the point.
czcams.com/video/AKZR8jAzN48/video.html
One thing about it Randy. When it's all said and done you was the only one that had the balls to say something and say it early. I'm glad Hank is backing you.
Great job. Agree 💯 %. People say boats are expensive but you can catch em in cheaper boat. Experiece, intelligence, patience and a little luck should determine winners not your wallet or technology.
This is so true because I've witnessed how an individual with an aluminum john boat w/ an old 75 hp Johnson kicked everones ass at a tourney. He beat out dudes with who had pricey bass boats.
Amen and thank you. A very true statement!!!! The playing field is no longer level!!! 👍🏻
The playing field was never level. As long as new baits are being designed and unavailable to the general public for a year or two. Easy to prove. New baits work great until the fish have seen them and recognize them for what they are. Unless it’s a senko or reaction bait of some sort.
Hank is a very honest but fair guy. It means alot hearin that from him
Hank Parker uses FFS on his television show and advertises it.
@@DennisMorgan-ls8sc~ so does Jimmy Houston.. their all sell outs
They are talking about the use of ffs in tournaments not recreational their is a big difference.
Hank said it with such eloquence, couldn’t agree more!
Thanks for sharing Hank's opinion on FFS. I have always been a big fan of Hank. Always enjoyed his fishing shows. 👍
Being on the right side of history isn't always an easy road. Kudos to everyone who is standing up about this topic!
Thank you both:)
My grandpa Mr Jim Brackin was one of the first professionals in the sport of Bass fishing he would roll over in his grave miss so much paps
I am in complete agreement with Hank Parker. I spent many years fishing all over the country learning how to fish. I read books and Bassmaster magazines. I even took classes from Bassmaster university with Denny Brauer, Jimmy Houston and Jack Hains to learn everything I could. I fished hundreds of tournaments to get to the level I am today. These guys today want to take a shortcut to get to fish professionally and they couldn’t win most jackpot tournaments without FFS!
That’s a fact!
Are you kidding me? The youngest anglers in the Elites had to qualify against the most challenging qualifications and out fish every other angler in the Nation to qualify to make it pro.
Everyone has the chance to have FFS in their boat, so I disagree. It's not just
for some or most
Best video on FFS so far. Absolutely great take on it by one of the greatest ever and they can't call him a loon! Class act all the way.
It’s great to hear Hank Parker join the fight. All the pro’s that feel the same should step up as well. Thanks Randy!
Absolutely agree, Hank is the man. I got saved from a Hank Parker tract at my church. Protect this man thanks for sharing buddy.
I agree with Hank 100%. It’s not about fishing anymore. It’s about having the most money to buy the most expensive electronics to pretty much directly point to the fish for you.
I was just kayak fishing an inshore bay here in Florida and I watched a guy come in a nice boat go the entire length of the bay and never lifted his head up or even have a rod in his hand but one time. He was obviously was watching his live scope. After he left it took me some time just blind casting but I caught eight beautiful trout! Then on the way in I noticed another guy in a boat do the same thing fishing a shoreline. I’d rather have days of catching nothing giving the fish a fair chance than this madness.
“ The great thing about fishing is we almost never know” Gene Hill
High Noon
Well put. It is madness!
This is the best that it’s been put!! Thank u Hank and Randy!!!
Hank is the genuine article .... I was fishing a canal on the Harris chain during a MegaBass event in the 80's ..... looked up and saw Hank coming down the opposite bank .... as our boats passed we had a brief conversation, just chit chat but I was impressed that he was so cordial to an absolute stranger.
Hank Parker is a legend. He’s up there with the all-time greats in tournament bass fishing
Randy and Hank...two of my all time favorites...been fishing for the past 50 years.. thank you both for standing up for the sport
Hank Parker is a legend and I’ve been a fan of his since I was a kid, he has good points and I agree 100%!
Way to go Hank people might start listening, keep up the fight Randy.
Thanks for sharing that clip Randy!!! Hats off to Hank Parker!!!! Just telling it like it is!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!! 🤠👍
Another great analogy using advanced materials on golf and baseballs. When advanced equipment provides an outsized change to quantifiable results the standard no longer exists.
Your definitely not alone Randy many of us agree with you and some of us do the little that we actually can, this is great we need more pros speaking out against ffs, keep up the good fight Randy, all those people that hate on you are going to see one day that you were right
That Is "SPOT ON" Wow Hank's Wisdom is Powerful And Full Of Truth...I hosted Hank and his son at the Brick Yard 400 In Indianapolis Motor Speedway, in the Berkley Fishing Winston and Outdoor life Tent. I set up our Berkley Fishing display at 6:00 in the morning across from the track and Hank Parker and his son Hank Jr signed Autographs all morning and we gave out sample baits. Hank is such a genuine spirited person and it was an honor to spend time with him. Hank congratulated me for all my hard work by gifting me a race pass. I tore down the booth and walked in to the race and stood by a race official at the 4th turn fence and watched #24 Jeff Gordon Win The Brick Yard 400. What a great memory to have...
I got to meet Hank at last year’s Classic in Knoxville. The favorite pro I met. I grew up watching him and it was an honor to meet him.
You're not alone and you just added a major ally in this fight and hopefully turn this around, keep it up randy.
Always been a fan of Hank and thanks for showing us this video. I have talked to my friends around here and they are all in agreement with FFS and they agree with you as well as I do, it needs to go and it is exactly the same as spotlighting deer. Keep up the good fight Randy!
I agree with you no FFS, also no 2D, no spotlock, no satellite mapping, no sidescan, waypoints to sell, no cell phones in boat where others can tell you where fish are. Just old school fishing with max hp rating of 70 horsepower.
@@DennisMorgan-ls8sc Let's not get crazy now....
Well said Hank...I have stopped watching fishing all together because of FFS..I've been a huge fan of the sport but I totally agree it is messing up the sport
The tide is turning against FFS. All the threads I saw from DC's win at the Red Crest had a substantial amount of comments besmirching FFS.
One extra guy here not watching the Spotlight Classic.
'besmirching'. I had to look that up - LOL
Nah, FFS will never be banned. "New" and "different" doesn't mean wrong..
You all need to get out from this echo chamber and listen to all the talk from the rest of the bass fishing world. This tech is exciting and fun to use and it helps the weekend angler catch more fish. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. What's "wrong" are tournaments themselves which account for killing more bass than FFS. Someone needs to explain to me how FFS is destroying bass fishing but 40 years of unregulated out of control live well tournaments are somehow ok and not harmful, really?
If they have to rely on their own abilities instead of FFS the numbers of fish caught go down. Its fishing not catching. @@astrophysicistguy
@@astrophysicistguy Exactly!! Hank also grew up fishing with no electronics so of course hes going to agree saying its wrong. Hes not out there trying to use it and see that you still have to understand where the fish are and how to catch them. Every guy that uses FFS can also go catch them without it
I got out of bass fishing from a boat and tournament fishing in 2006. The whole thing turned into "who can spend the most" and buying wins. I simplified my fishing, wade fishing creeks and rivers. Me, my rod/reel, the lure, my knowledge of fish habits. I have way more fun now! No boat, no kayak no electronics, just fishing, like it should be
I fished tournaments for years local an some national I remember I started lucky to have a flasher on deck to show depth I can remember lining up with spots on shoreline to fish areas these kids today wouldn't have a clue how to go out an fish without ffs
I love both You and Hank’s channels a lot. You have been on the right side of this since the beginning and now Hank Parker is, this is great to hear. I grew up following you and Hank and I respect you both very much.
THATS A REAL MAN RIGHT THERE, HASNT SOLD OUT LIKE THE MARTINS.
The golf and baseball analogy made me rethink my position.
has nothing to do with fishing and not a good comparsion at all. having a baseball go 30% further also means its coming that much faster off the bat in return could hurt their players, know the whole reason. Golf is the same, you wouldnt want a ball to go further as the yard to pin are different.
go play with your livescope dork@@michaelbroussard7404
@@michaelbroussard7404so it would give the batter a huge advantage? So it would give the golfer a huge advantage? Just like FFS gives a huge advantage to the fisherman?
@@michaelbroussard7404 You forgot to mention that golf balls and baseballs are spherical and forward facing isn't. So they are comparable.
I'm from Canada and have never followed Bassmaster, and i still agree with you and Hank. I'm just a Canadian sports fisherman who gets it
I call it connecting with Gods creation. Stop looking down and admire the work God has done.
Fishing can be a very spiritual thing. I'm watching Rick Clunn closely on this one, so far he has proven to be on the fence for fear of upsetting his sponsors. That and he wishes to remain relevant and knows he must adapt or be left behind. It's sad how money ruins the sport. The love of money is the root of all evil. Remember that.
Randy ,you have been saying the same thing as Hank you are our leader and voice to stop FFS not just for tournaments but for both Crappie fishermen and Bass fishermen total catches in the future! Thanks
Very good information! I totally agree with you both.
The true thrill of fishing is learning about Nature and the fish you are pursuing. Different times of the year, different locations, different presentations. Hank Parker is a true Outdoorsman and spoke the truth! You also are a great Outdoorsman Randy and I listen to you and agree with you that technology is progress but we should not let technology ruin the great sport of fishing just so people can make money. Keep up the great effort! I totally agree with you!
Been a follower for years and a supporter of your fight against ffs since the beginning. Thank you for speaking up 💪
Between FFS and tournaments every weekend it’s killed our local lakes😢the fishing pressure is ridiculous. It’s definitely been down hill for the last couple years. But what can we do? I’m totally with you Mr.Blauket and let the hater’s hate because I think you are a good representative for our sport
My fear with FFS is outside tournament fishing with the catch and keep community and the impact on previously untapped fish populations. Here in Southern Ontario I have witnessed a steady decline in fish populations since Covid (where people rediscovered the outdoors) and FFS.
Almost 100% agreed with you. But in tournaments they are killing fish no one sees ripping them out deep water and dropping them right back in just to try to get bigger fish they grab them by the belly and squeeze them hard to deflate them just enough to get them to go down and not float to be seen. Then they die or just go straight to the bottom and die. I have seen it personally myself firsthand. Also you take ffs on their boat they can compete against a 8 year old with a Zebo 33 and bare hook muss less be a pro hell they can’t even cast or skip docks. We catch enough BS from Karen without beating the docks and boats up looking like complete jackass’s and getting back classified as the enemy against dock owners.
People are truly decimating the crappie population across our nation 😡
i couldn't agree more, those that can afford F.F.S. are going to hurt populations of big crappies unless they reduce limits and make slots before its too late
Amen that is the same thing up in Michigan. I don't think anyone begrudges someone taking home some meals, but some of these people use it to supplement their groceries.
Love me some Hank Parker. Randy as you know this crap is out of control. Great video
Randy and Hank! Sounds like a great tag team!
YES!!!!!! Absolutely love and respect Hank! I just wish the rest of the “Kingdom” (Bill Dance {who never uses FFS in ANY of his shows}, Roland, Jimmy, and KVD) would get vocal about it like Hank Parker just did. Once Clunn retires, I’m sure he will get brutally honest about it as well.
Randy, I’m so happy for you getting some recognition and validation from top people in the sport and industry!!
Hank Parker uses FFS on his television show regularly. Advertises it too.
@@DennisMorgan-ls8sc I have no issues with FFS being used in recreational fishing. Thats on the individual of they want to be glued to an idiot box or not.
But he’s right when it comes to tournaments…and at every level starting with high school and club levels.
I think you can have a happy medium with it as he is eluding to
All those pros you mentioned used tons of prototype baits none else could get. Bill dance? That farm pond fishing MoFo, horrible. Catching fish no one ever fishs for and saying it’s because of a certain bait. All his baits sucked in the real world.
@@AT6er Bill wasn’t always fishing pits and ponds in his shows, still doesn’t. But when your his age and what it takes to create a 30 min show I don’t blame him for making it easier.
What baits sucked? I know I haven’t tried them all but “The Fat Free Shad” has caught thousands of bass since its inception.
I have no problem with FFS for recreational use or even for tournament practice.
But once the tournament start, it’s should be banned IMO
That was awesome to see. The sad thing is the same people who already defend FFS will turn themselves inside out to dismiss anyone’s opinion that is against it, including Hank’s. To them he’s just another “old and out of touch” angler who needs to move aside. It always gets down to selfishness and lack of consideration for the bigger picture. “Don’t tell ME what I can and can’t do”. We’re trying to ensure that we ALL can continue to catch bass until we finish our time here. That’s a foreign concept to far too many people.
Watched Hank Parker use FFS many times on his television show. Endorses and advertised it.
And then there’s this video, you know, the one we’re talking about, where he says what he really feels right now, without having to say what his sponsors want him to. It’s not that hard to understand.
I’ve always defended FFS but I don’t really have a dog in the fight I’m a inshore guide and nobody uses FFS for red drum but it would make my life easier and clients happier. I may get it on my next boat. I defend FFS because every pro runs it so it is a level playing field but I never took into account high school and college fishing
Love Hank he is the best
Hard to argue with a softspoken upstanding legend like hank parker . It hurting are sport
lots can argue with a legend like him all day long. Because he fished in the early days without any electronics doesnt mean the guys catching them today with some and not even including livescope in this its still a change in the game but not WRONG! If you disagree with live scope take all electronics off your boat mapping Di and Si.
I actually agree with what you and Hank are saying. Especially in the amateur tournaments like high school. I have one that I use ice fishing or in my kayak half a dozen times a year to hopefully put fish on my table for dinner. It helps me get on fish sooner when I have limited time. It shouldn’t be allowed in competition but, for personal use, I freaking love it!
That's exactly what you need Randy. As many of the real top professional bass anglers pro or con views on forward facing sonar as you can round up. I'm definitely not talking about the current proponents, Johnny come lately tournament anglers that would have difficulty catching bluegill without FFS. These professional anglers as well as your opinion are highly respected by the hardcore bass fishing community and speaking in unison I believe the tournament organizations would eventually have to give in and outlaw tournament FFS in any sanctioned competition. Appreciate that you aired Hank Parker's opinion as that's a great start. I hope that somehow you can get the "reel", real pros to line up to show their support.
🇺🇲 👏 🇺🇲
It is about time Randy got some help from the legends. Couldn't agree more and Hank's analogy should be heard by BASS. Thanks Randy for continuing to try to make it right for the next generation.
Awesome deal, Randy.. Glad you’re finally starting to gain some traction.
Randy and Hank we are with you guys on this you're the best
A truly very well framed and articulated point on the FFS with excellent analogies from my favorite fisherman!!
Thanx Randy 4 sharing that clip from Hank!!!
👍😃🍻
I was tuned into Bass After Dark last week and even Ken Duke mentioned in the comments that a lot of the Pros Didn't want to really talk about it because they were afraid of loosing sponsors. Thinking about it, it seems crooked that corporations can control the narrative like that. For it or against the tech itself, you have to admit that companies restricting the free exchange of ideas and opinions is bad for the sport.
Preach! I love Hank Parker.
I have agreed since day one, if you can’t catch fish without FFS you aren’t a fisherman. Level the playing field, learn the skill set
Thank you for your continued fight and a big thanks to Hank Parker for speaking truth and speaking out on this problem
Hank Parker is an awesome Bass Angler and as eloquent as ever! I respect both you and Hank for your vast knowledge and experience. I got both your autographs on a BPS hat back in the mid 90's. FFS takes all the challenge out of fishing. I have been a BASS member since the late 80's but will not renew. Keep up the fight! Thank you!
If one person says Hank is crazy, then they know nothing about the man or the sport!
Watched Hank Parker use FFS on many many of his television shows. Plus he advertises it.
@DennisMorgan-ls8sc That is not pro circuit bass tournaments, big difference.
Just because we put him on. Pedestal doesn't mean his opinions are correct 100% of the time. I disagree with a fee of his statements in this video.
I truly respect Hank, a classy humble man. As a Livescope owner, I can honestly say that my fishing abilities/knowledge have not changed since owning my Livescope, but...my ability to catch more fish has increased since owning it. Perhaps...Livescope should be promoted for the amateur to use, an not in Professional tournaments.
Thank you Randy for keeping your stand ! Thank you Hank Parker for taking a stand !
When technology makes the difference in competition, it's no longer a competition.
You hit it on the head
FFS is just one technology in the pool of many.....competition should be equal on every level but it's not in pro fishing. Something simple as fishing a tournament on your home lake...is that equal? No it isn't. Having a faster boat or just better equipment can be considered not equal. When the B.A.S.S. circuit first started every angler fished out of the same kind of boat, same motor, and they could only have so much equipment....they didn't even know what lake they were going to fish until they were on a plane headed for the tournament.....lets bring back those days and really make it equal.
I fully agree with what Hank Parker and Randy both say about forward facing sonar. I only fish bass from the bank and when I hook a lunker from a lure that I chose from my tackle bag it is very enjoyable. I like the challenge of Bass fishing
Could not agree more. Glad to see Hanks opinion on this.
This is great! Keep it up Randy! Stay vocal and keep up the good work!
Might as well legalize night vision hunting from vehicles😅
It's legal for hogs.
If it was legal why would you care? Other people should be able to do things how they please if they’re not bothering you
@@bakid470because it is about protecting the resource. It should matter to all of us.
Perfectly stated and a huge ally for Randy. Hopefully that opens the door for a current top angler to join the cause.
Great video, thanks Randy!
I wish more pros would speak up! I appreciate your stance on this subject!
I totally agree with the High School fishing team part. I have helped with your School starting my fourth year and I don’t have any kids in school. I don’t own FFS and it does put us at a disadvantage. And if I really wanted it I could afford it but I have better things to spend my money on. But the young kids that I have taken fishing with me have had a good time and have learned a lot. And we have had some good finishes along the way.
good lord yall act like having FFS just automatically makes you catch fish. you still have to know where they are and how to catch them
@@michaelbroussard7404 You got that right. These kids don’t have a boat so all they get to do is fish with someone or fish from the bank. So I totally agree with you they need to learn about fish behavior first. I’m 67 years old and I spent many hours walking the bank fishing.
The answer is simple, like randy says. Just ban it. But at the top level, I think not.
Keep fighting Randy. This may well become the single biggest issue in the history of the sport.
I saw that Hank Parker video yesterday and I was waiting to see your response. And I agree with you both.
Thank you for sharing this!!!!! It applies to open water and ice fishing, in a big way.
THANKS. RANDY
Great job Randy🎣🛥🐟🇺🇸
I subscribed immediately, even though I didn't know who you were because I'm new to the bass game. However, the fact that you're willing to stand on the edge alone was enough for me, and we all know and respect Mr. Parker. Good on ya!
100 percent Hank Parker!!! I am 68 years old, been fishing since I was 5 yrs old, I’m seeing the same thing.
MrHank Parker knows what this is doing to our sport and fishery , thank you Hank Parker
It’s helping those catch more fish. Bigger fish and helping learn how fish react to baits. How dare a professional bass circuit allow bigger bass to be targeted, caught and brought to the scales! Is pulling a 10pound female of a bed that’s about to spawn to die in a live well or the stress killing many eggs good for the sport?
Well said Mr Hank Parker
Hank sure loved using those prototype baits no one else could get to win some tournaments. Is that cheating? Is that a level playing field?
Loved this! Keep the fight my friend.
Randy thank you for leading the charge on this! With Hank coming out about it is awesome and hopefully professional bass fishing will someday ban it!
Absolutely agree, you cannot argue with Hanks analogies on sports. FFS will destroy tournament fishing to the point of many leaving the sport and then all you will see on TV/online will be a bunch of young guys trolling around looking down at screens. Viewer ship will plummet shortly thereafter and it will force them to change course. I hope they get it before that happens and ban FFS soon.
Totally agree, no 2D sonar, No FFS, no side scan, no satellite mapping, no way points to sell or use ever, no spot lock technology, no $1000.00 rods and 45 dollar megabass baits, no cell phones where people can tell you where fish are, JUST OLD SCHOOL BASSIN.
Well said Hank! ...and Randy...
First time I heard Hank in an interview I was a fan he’s got the wisdom and knowledge like no other!!
Hank Parker is my Hero! To this day I use many of the lessons he taught me in the 70's and 80's. Hey Randy! I watched the adds Brother, and I love your videos. Trust me, you are not alone!
There’s already reports of crappie lakes being emptied out. you don’t think that’s gonna happen with every other species of fish. Even with catch and release they still die sometimes.
There’s way too many fishermen in this country to not restrict technology. If this continues in 20 years there be nothing left
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should” - Ian Malcolm (Jurassic Park 1993).
Randy, I just wanna say thank you for all you’re doing for the sport and thank you for inspiring me to keep up BassFishing because it’s one of my favourite things to do in life and keep fighting the good fight and I wanna let you know about my days fishing today I got seven larges from the bank I just want to let you know that have a wonderful day and night whenever you read this
Well done Randy. Correct on all counts. Let's one day see if these FFS experts can actually fish. A lot of fans would like to know.
Both of you are right.
Randy, you are NOT alone....
Thank you!!! Absolutely agree!
Another awesome video Randy! I love your passion and sticking up for what’s right. You and Hank are 100 percent correct, The problem is all of these young people just don’t get it because they are too young. When you get older you look back on all of the things that you’re parents used to give youadvice on and you thought that they were crazy and didn’t know anything, then the little light goes off in your head and you realize wow mom and dad were right, I should’ve listened to them. Some people get it and some never do.
I fish in a small underfished lake. Things have not changed since I was a boy ( Im now 50 ). Real fishermen with real skills. Lots of fish. Sometimes they dont bite and I dont care! These computers are not fishing. Its a total joke.
Playing devil's advocate here, but what's your thoughts on 2D sonar, side scan and down scan? And do you use them? I hope not, because those help people catch fish as well.
Haven't heard a better explanation than that.. Spot on man
Amen - perfectly said by both you and hank!!!!! To all the young anglers out there here is a life lesson for you - change is inevitable but that doesn't mean that it is always for the better!!!! The older you get the more evident this will become.
I agree it’s time to go back to keep it real
