I subscribed to your channel after your rant about sponsors and the industry. I e been bass fishing over 35yrs and i love the gps mapping and sonar's of today. But watching this makes me realize how reliant pro's and many other are so reliant on ffs. I personally think it does not belong in tournament fishing. I have used it and completely understand the benefits of it. But now I am currently not using it going old school because I am not a tournament fisherman. I believe once you know how to use it it puts most people on a level playing field. Which sucks to me I growing up idolized Rick Clunn, Gary Klein, David fritz etc. guys like that have very special fish finding abilities now it seems everybody has those and I know for a fact cuz I have had it and used it that it totally totally helps catch fish I never caught in my lakes before. It's such a beneficial tool for guides but we should really keep it real and not tournament fishing. But I think a lot of guys are in a big cloud of smoke who can't quite admit that it can make a lot of us just the same We all know how to cast well and operate our boats etc but now it's just basically computer fishing. Respect I'm glad you have found your niche on CZcams but if it's all mostly forward-facing sonar stuff I probably won't be watching a whole lot of it.
Nice drop , You seem to be getting more comfortable doing stuff like this, keep pushing the edge. Of what is and isn't comfortable. Don't ever feel squeezed brother. Some people get that this isn't your nature
Jacob, This was great, especially showing the screen of the Live Scope. Showing the basic setup, with how simple it was for us, technically challenged. Do a boat walk around of your 2024 setup, storage, mounts, placement, accessories, etc. with why you like it... Thanks for sharing 🍺 🎣
Awesome video keep them coming been following you ever since the first video. You made an impact on the fishing world. I like seeing fishing videos not videos about what sponsors you. Like all the other pro pushing there stuff at us. Even though that’s what you guys have to do but you’re keeping it real.
Very cool video Jacob. Question about your setup : what is driving that NBT screen? I know you obviously have the livescope black box and transducer, but what device is giving the NBT the garmin interface?
All I see is blue and dots going in and out lol tat thing will give me a headache 😂🤣 I just want a down image and side scan. Cool to watch though, for me sitting and watching if a fish will bite takes the fun of finishing. I love running over areas looking for bush piles or structure under the water with my 2D and fish it , it’s the hunt that’s awesome. Finding stuff under water and pulling a fish off or out of it using 2D is so much fun. Makes a good challenge. I like the clearer look with down image and side scan. One day I’ll be able to afford it lol .
Man that screen is super legit. I asked about it after your last video and I'm so glad you showed it. Keep up the awesome content. I've become a big fan and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I’ve had FFS for 2 years & my average hookup ratio on FFS is like 10%. I’d consider your trip pretty successful! Regardless, Awesome to Watch brother! Make more like this if you don’t mind! I really appreciate the NBT! Scoping on a 10” just isn’t the same lol.
An honest teacher will get my subscription every time! I’ve dreamed about making money fishing but we didn’t have money or high school /college fishing and I didn’t know how to get noticed or sponsors so hearing you tell the world the truth about the industry opened my eyes. I just thought the “hammers” had sponsors throw money at them like LeBron James.
Keep making videos like this once a week, then filler content travel vlogs etc and you will be set for success. Milliken and one other youtuber are the only ones doing it. Please take my advice
@@ShaneJMcNair rob terkla I wouldn't trust period. Dude couldn't hold a marriage together with the world going great. Then he does what makes money period. Fools paying 3x what items are worth on whatnot just to fanboy him. That's why he stopped fishing for so long, to be a salesman
I feel sorry for the modern day fisherman -- The primitive joy in finding and catching fish using your senses is lost with live FFS ... knock yourself out guys but to me it's just as ridiculous as "hunters" feeding deer for weeks then shooting them from a warm blind in between sips of latte'. Unplug, buy a map and use your brain/senses -- you'll get more out of it.
Figured you would take it personally and wouldn't get it--just a valid opinion many have about FFS. If you "feel like you're cheating" then you basically made my point for me. It's a personal choice to make fishing a video game and I choose not to. Good luck with it.
I didn’t take it personally. Just used your same logic. You’re entitled to your opinion. Doesn’t take anything away from using your senses. Still have to know how to catch them…
I'm still having trouble seeing all the fish on screen could u scan an area an when u see some w/wout cover present an just put your finger on everyone u know is a fish. An also hearing guys say they can see the fish tail an fins seems like BS from what I seen on your screen they still look like dots moving around.
Yeah I have no clue what I’m looking at here, hahah. I’ve been in boats with live, definitely not cheating if I’m the one looking at it. Way easier for me to just fish and not attempt to understand that
I don't see a problem if people practice catch and release (which is not a law). Now....if people want competitive fishing to continue being considered a sport they gotta change something. Once angler's know every cast is at a fish and can see the fish ineract and eat the lure it begins to resemble a videogame... I would prefer competitive gaming and fishing stay separate. All they need is a robot to cast and drive the boat
FFS is just like all other technologies, eliminates the need for experience and skill. I have never fished a tournament, but don't think FFS should be allowed in tournament fishing. Who can't run a shoreline, see the fish, structure, fish depth and not have an advantage? Seems like all is needed to be a professional bass angler now is sponsor contacts which previously came with skill, now only comes with social media sub count. All about the money, not the skill and dedication.
@@jacobfoutzfishing - Really? Technology is making people lazy. All of you tournament guys fish for the next 5 years with the latest and greatest electronics, many will lose what edge they have on reading conditions because they will start relying on their video game fishing. Then do 1 season with traditional sonar and see the difference. Many of you will feel different when young dudes with just a few years experience comes along with the best electronics and can compete with the pro's.
As much as it can be fun.....this is not a video game....its unprofessional and not real fishing....its one thing find the cover and structure....and maybe see a fish....but to be to change your baits and cadence based on seeing the sonar image its like using cameras.....as professionals I would even entertain amatuers not seeing the fish is part of the experience!
This is like magnetic fish fishing we did in kindergarten.

Thanks for sharing 🍺 🎣
Thanks for actually showing us how to set it and catches while you use it. Not many anglers do that great video brother
Yes, you're so correct 🍺🎣
Livescope- the fleshlight of the fishing world.
Haha nice comp
that is so cool to see the fish bite on the NBT.
Awesome video keep them coming been following you ever since the first video. You made an impact on the fishing world. I like seeing fishing videos not videos about what sponsors you. Like all the other pro pushing there stuff at us. Even though that’s what you guys have to do but you’re keeping it real.
Definitely an advantage when looking for fish.
Very cool video Jacob. Question about your setup : what is driving that NBT screen? I know you obviously have the livescope black box and transducer, but what device is giving the NBT the garmin interface?
That was the best livescope video I’ve seen.

Keep em coming Jacob , you rock bro
I use Livescope quite a bit and that was a casting clinic.
How you liking that move TM? Great video!
Man that screen is super legit. I asked about it after your last video and I'm so glad you showed it. Keep up the awesome content. I've become a big fan and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I will come out of retirement as soon as they let me use live minnows and they can have live scope but no live minnows, fair is fair
😂 nah

Good screen shots keep those coming wouldn't mind seeing a video of mainly seeing screen shot and you giving details to what's happening.
Almost video keep bringing bangers out
Dude this amazing I love this livescope view 😮😮😮❤❤❤
That was a good video nice footage keep em coming like that
Just curious. What’s that humming noise towards the end of the video?
Good informational video, keep up the good content Jake!
Nice screen shots! Thx
Cool video. That's ain't Chick or Parksville. That one isn't familiar to me.
Great stuff Jacob
What’s that awful noise coming off the power pole move when you turn it?

Yes, it's proven that it works... Rob Terkla reached out to help him. It doesn't get any better than that... 🍺🎣

Is the clarity on your screen because of the NBT, wiring, transducer, or what? My screen is ever that clear on 70% gain.
It’s mostly the NBT screen and good wiring. Voltage is important.
Love this video
I think if you would have let the jerk bait pause for a few seconds he may would have smoked it. This was an awesome video bud!

@@jacobfoutzfishingmy 5 year old niece catches fish on her dad's mega live. Congratulations on your skill level
how do you like the MOVE
Still undecided on it. Definitely not what I’m use to. Nothing bad to say just not use to it yet!
I'm still having trouble seeing all the fish on screen could u scan an area an when u see some w/wout cover present an just put your finger on everyone u know is a fish. An also hearing guys say they can see the fish tail an fins seems like BS from what I seen on your screen they still look like dots moving around.
You can 1000% see the tail
Man u aint gonna believebi lowerd my scope the water other day fished just jumped in the boat yep it's that easy... easy peasie!!
Like the scope shots love that screen 👍
Yeah I have no clue what I’m looking at here, hahah. I’ve been in boats with live, definitely not cheating if I’m the one looking at it. Way easier for me to just fish and not attempt to understand that
👍
Really 105ft of water!! Definitely cheating!!
Great video and no live scopes should not be banned
Do this again
Yeah, it should be banned.
Nah, your watching a pro fish a small body of water. It looks easy but go try it and you’ll find out
Real shit went with a guide and caught a 10 and an 8. Went out on my boat to the same lake in the same spot with the same bait and caught zero fish

I agree with OP
It takes the need to listen to pros away. That’s the problem I think u guys don’t know the impact it’s having on your following fan and angler base

That’s because it is cheating.
Yeah. No
