I love technology. That 4+ pound drop in cut weight on the non-FFS day speaks volumes.

I love the MLF format—one day without and one day with. You have to be able to use it all. I expect pros to continually adapt and learn. Put in the time and usually you find success.

Rick Clunn's perspective is spot-on. He reminds us how "Minnesota was trying to outlaw his little green boxes" back when the first fish finders appeared. Now those are standard equipment. He talks about FFS "adding to our knowledge" and helping us understand what's happening underwater instead of guessing. As he noted, with traditional approaches, "we were right only 20-30 percent of the time."

We've seen this controversy with every technological advance—GPS, depth finders, even modern rods and reels, lures faced resistance. Each time, the sport adapted and grew.

Looks like deep diving crank bait waters. ;-)

Making memories is what it is really about. I am happy to see you get that experience.

I should have stayed in my spot this past weekend. Decided to move and didn’t catch any more keepers. Live and learn.

Last year I lost a battery and a snapped spring in the single axle trailer. Keep moving forward.

Nice Ken and I fished our first BFL this past weekend. Welcome to the club. I learned a lot.

Awesome!

I am getting excited!!!!
