| I like the Far From Sporting.
I am old enough to remember when catch and release of muskies was not cut and dried like it is today. The best advocates for it approached calmly and from an educational standpoint. |

| Fishing For Socials (media). FFS use seems to correlate with YouTube and Instagram heroes. |

My thought was if a negative one could stick, maybe it could help discourage,... sort of along the lines of Muskies inc. stance. Discourage it. |

| how about: top 5% old-school fisherman who added new tools and skills to become even better, with reinvigorated fishing interest after 23 years non-stop pounding same lake. watching the fish swim around in real time has blown my mind on how they behave, ie big stripers in my lake swim from bottom at 30 ft right up to top and back down again in the heat of Summer! I always thought they were horizontally stratified due to 02 levels, temps, etc. Or maybe moved up in dark and back down with light, not up/down/up/down/up/down in 2 mins! Also, sometimes I see packs right below the surface 1-3 ft that I can cast to. Old SI and down sonar didn't pickup these fish just below surface and I speculate when I trolled over they scattered to sides so I never saw them at ALL, all day. Just two things I've learned so far.
Plus, I still love SI trolling with my Humminbird (no FFS at all).

Heres one I saw
If you ain't scopin, your just hopin.
yeah its stupid saying, just like the ones on the other side
Let's just go fishing without judging other anglers as unethical and "free from skills".

If the behavior of the fish blows your mind, I can't wait to hear your reaction to when you realize how your ability to constantly apply pressure to a population results in their disappearance.
nothing about your ignorance towards reality is beneficial to sustaining our fisheries |

It would appear you missed the last part of my post
Why is the access to knowing exactly where the fish are and what they are doing more important than conserving the limited resources that are our collective passion?

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | It's here, not going anywhere, and will improve. Use it ethically. Please don't pretend we all don't know what that means.
I have SI, 360, and FFS on my boat. I choose not to sharpshoot and never will. I use the tech for boat control, not to target individual fish. Mega Live is on 90% of the time I'm on the water, and I simply glance at it like I have 2D for years to keep my boat on the structure. If I found myself staring at it, I'd take it off the boat.
The tech is fine; it's misuse that inevitably will be called out. |

Location: Chisholm, MN | I've been talking to a younger musky guy who's pretty new to the game. He has a scope and is dialed in. He has maybe 70 fish this year in his boat and this is from Vermilion. He's new!
He told me a new one today. He's Livin on Scopes and Dreams |
