I fished with a young ladd you talked with. Damian . We where fishing rice lake and he was out fishing me 10 to 1. I tried to match what he was using and still nothing on the drop shot so I finally ask to borrow one and first cast a 4 pluss smallie. He sold me on it. This is over 3 days and I'm sold on them

there are anglers who want to go out to Lake Ontario even in dangerous 8-foot waves. On top of that, LiveScope dominates the tournaments, making it so that participants don’t need to cast real lures or find fish on their own. Instead, they just drive over fish, see them, and wait for them to hit their lures. It's a joke of an organization for allowing this. Let me tell you, you’ve just awakened me…enough is enough!

I think MERCER is too friendly with the Canadian Anglers does not look Good

[patricialeannshaw]

Cory should have been Disqualified for Sportsmanship Dave Mercer should have filed a PROTEST with LISA That could have turned into a bad situation

Came running straight to the comments…..

Nah he won because he sent his brother to the leaders spot so Gee wouldn’t have as many fish.

[forrhs]

I don’t watch tournaments where the anglers stare at a screen, and only drop a lure when Fish swim under them… it’s too boring to watch anymore… put them against seasoned pros without FFS and they’d get smoked

[areddfishing]

Corey won because his brother hole buzzard the leader. That’s all that was and a low move

[jasonanderson]

Too bad he had to have help on the water! Nice job hole jumping!

[andrewstewart]

I don't care what he says, that is a banjo minnow 😂

[rmillerlima]

He won by pushing in on the spot of the day 3 leader
