- Tired of hearing complaints about FFS? We all are. Let’s talk solutions. Here is the first one that actually might work. Drop comments on what you think.

I hate this idea, seems like an MLF gimmick rule to me 😂
I love the thought process behind this. I think the best way of doing this is to limit the number of FFS allowed on a boat. Having up to 5 I feel is little ridiculous. I would like to see just one unit is allowed.
It appears regulation is coming for FFS. This a great idea to keep it in check as it is a valuable tool.
Is FFS any different than fishing for bedding fish other than it's year round? You see a fish and try to make it bite.
I agree that the real bass fishermen need their own league !
I think that some car racing already uses DRS in Formula 1 racing.
No solution is needed. Tournaments have not been ruined because of it. Negative people shrieking on the internet are the problem. Ignore them! They are tools. Technology has been evolving since tournaments started. I fished my first tournament with a flasher and a paper graph, gps wasn't a thing... people were pissed that I had the paper. Whiners should not set the rules.
How about using it for practice but ma,e it off limits for official tournaments.
I have the utmost respect for you in general and for trying to volley a compromise.
Interesting proposition…it would add an extra element of prioritization/decision making
John: Interesting idea, but why not just create a hybrid schedule with the following format: 4 BASS Elites tournaments where FFS is allowed; 4 BASS Elites where FFS is not allowed; AOY Championship with FFS allowed, Bassmaster Classic no FFS allowed. OPEN EQ's: 4 tournaments no FFS allowed; 4 tournaments FFS allowed; AOY Championship FFS allowed. I have been a fan of bass fishing since the late 80's and have competed in tournaments since 1999. I just don't care to watch events dominated by FFS. I've owned the units and fishing that way is just not my cup of tea. BASS let it get out of hand when guys started showing up with 5+ transducers and 7 - 8 graphs on the boat. However, many pros have been forced to develop skill with FFS and that should not be taken away. Therefore, like it or not, FFS is here to stay. I'd love to see that hybrid format though!
I love it! Great idea! Thanks for trying to come up with a REALISTIC plan, that keeps everyone happy because something needs to change. Derbies are becoming unwatchable.
Limit the units/size and limit the transducer to one. Keeps everything relevant without extra needing to be tracked and harder for new viewers to understand. Having a “throwback” tournament every year where there’s no ffs and limited electronics would be cool to see though
Best idea I've heard on it yet
That’s a very common sense approach. Kudos
I like that approach if you can get electronics companies to buy in. I also like the idea floating around of using it for practice only, running forward facing unit only.
Good video. I put a comment on Randy's channel about a month ago, essentially the same thing. All sports have regulated equipment. For the benefit of the sport. It's apparent this won't sort itself out like some guy's think. And the suck it up and shut up mentally don't fly. I would much rather watch guy's like you show me your depth and versatility. Start a senior's tour and watch the rest of professional bass fishing go irrelevant.
John I’m a big fan of yours, imo there is literally no difference in watching a guy fishing with or without scope. I really enjoyed watching the tournaments in Texas and how the camera angle included the live feed from the LS screens. Also if you include Randy’s opinion also include Milliken or another pro that uses LS a lot.
I think this is a pretty good idea, and it does seem to address any concerns from a conservation perspective, kind of like A-rigs
Definitely like it.Think a compromise is the best thing for the growth of the sport.
