Tournament guys don't even hardly pre-fish anymore.  I watched Pete Maina drive around for almost 2 hours one day before he finally stopped and fished.  360 and side imaging are a game changer and I don't necessarily agree with either.  Totally taken the art of being a musky guy away.  Guys drive around, mark a fish on side image, throw a couple of cast and move on to the next, have no problem cutting in front of guys on a spot to do it.  It's totally here to stay though, so I guess we need to get used to it.  As far as the sharp shooting, that is happening around my area as well.  Hayward, WI area.  Also guys are trolling the Thermocline as well and yanking those fish up into warm water on short lines going 4 MPH or greater.  Is it an efficient way to catch fish?  Absolutely, but as Kirby stated we shouldn't even be targeting those fish as I guarantee it's contributing to dead fish.  Long story short, guys these days are more about the pictures and stories than putting in the work to gain knowledge and create the stories.  Back in the day nobody said anything about what they were doing and you were able to keep certain things to yourself.  Now a guy in my area can dissect 4 or 5 lakes in an afternoon without throwing a cast.[/QUOTE]
