I’m a Florida fisherman and I’ve been following the classic since the early 80’s watching Rick Clunn, Paul Elias, Larry Nixon, Hank Parker, George Corcoran, Shawn Grigsby etc use skills, knowledge of the fish, water temperature, water clarity etc., all played a part of what makes bass fishing what it truly what it is.Forward Facing Sonar has taken all of that out of bass fishing. Disgust me to even watch bass fishing now…

Alot of the anglers talking about partaking in a few drinks this evening lol. I would love to hear one of them say they were going to relax and burn a big fat one

I absolutely love the classic but Tulsa is not the location at all for grand lake ( and I'm in tulsa co. ) I just wish a local to "grand lake" even if temporary would be set up close to the lauch site for the BMC weigh in lieu of transport well over an hour for weigh in. Lake Keystone BMC weigh in at BOK thats another story. Heck Joplin Mo is closer if you need a " big city" to do the weigh in. then again i know nothing

What a bore to watch. Ban FFS. I don’t understand the argument for keeping it. This is supposed to be pro angling. When everyone and every win depends on harassing one fish at a time spotlighting it’s now no longer the same thing. This shouldn’t be called BassMasters, it’s the tech. I’m not impressed by anyone who wins on FFS. In reality the tech is winning, not the angler.

Hank Parker interview mfrs! Take that ffs away and these dudes aint sh!t. Bahaha awesome watchin dudes watch tv 🤦‍♂️. Bassmaster gota be desperate af for a shallow dude to catch em. Nope another joke of an event

[porthos]

Pumped about Hank! Never forget that fish he lost to win the classic! Ben may get humbled! Christie has to make a comeback! Love to see ole ugly stick Matt catch a 25lb bag tomorrow!

Rooting for big daddy Cole Sands! Welcher may get humbled this one. Lee and Big Cox might get that biggun!

Did Millikens voice ever stop quivering on day 1, lol he'll shake the nerves out day 2, he only needs one clue to present itself on that screen, giving him confidence that it is in fact bass, and the right ones, and its gonna be a pile-palooza up in that rig!
Game On! Game Over!

Pulling for a real Fisherman to win! Not a cheating forward facing radar Non Fisherman! So glad that here in Wisconsin they're already talking about banning ffr! Maybe it'll keep all the Fibs south of the border!😂

[j.t.molina]

They should pretend they banned ffs I honestly don't think most of these commenters would see a difference

[ErnieAdamson]

FFS. Is really boring in my opinion. I have a truly sincere question for those of you that like it.. what is it about FFS that is exiting to you? I’ve fished with one and tried to watch and it’s just not that challenging? What am I missing? I have won boats and a few dollars in bass tournaments im not totally unintelligent. No need to insult me. Just truly curious

[URBJK]

Lame! Too much dependence on technology, no more skill required. Take away the technology and half these guys couldn't catch a bluegill

[Opiemus]

It looked like Hank Cherry was the only fisherman actually fishing, all of the others seemed to be screen gazing. 👌👎

[rickyveron]

All depend on ffs and not just skill and experience, needs to stop soon.

[ksdesjardins]

Yawn 🥱 so boring! major league baseball players don’t use an aluminum bat so why does bassmaster….

[MikeCrocker-ccbm]

I have also quit fishing tournaments due to FFS and have won a boat and AOY title. This is garbage, get the point BASS

[tannerplumlee]

No highlights during the first 25% of a “highlights” video. Come on BASS

[SMC]

I won’t be watching. Believe me, I’ve tried to watch the past few tournaments but FFS has made it unbearable to watch… instead, I think I’ll just watch paint dry or a piece of cheese get moldy…
