Thanks for the review. I feel much better about my pre-order for the Mega Live. HB has always been great on their quality and customer service. I am glad that I have waited for this.

Thanks for the video, let's me know buying Garmin was clearly the best option.

[jackdixon]

Your channel is very good, and there is no whining about people having observations about content!
Good job!!!

What a clear picture. The live scope has too much background clutter at 70 gain. You convince me to buy a live scope which was a great decision and I'm very happy with it. Bass Tank rules!! Now I will have to make another decision in 6 months or so to buy Mega live. Thanks for a great analysis.

Great video Johnny. Definitely not sold on the Humminbird Live. But on the upside of things it will make Lowrance and Garmin up there game

[danham]

Very well done as always Jonny. Clear, concise and thurough. Thanks for the review.

I love Humminbird, but I feel Garmin is leaps ahead with this technology

[bretfritz]

Man, it looks extremely useful to me! Hopefully by the end of the year I can grab one, it would be awesome to have paired up with my Mega 360. Thanks for the vids, Much Love!

I was really hoping this was gonna be so much better than livescope I will stick with my garmin for sure

[jeffbarrett]

At the end of your video you say your going to do a comparison video with all the units.Can, t wait. Another thing johnny, I like the way you danced around with your comment, so not to call out humminbird for there sub par forward facing unit..You were choosing your words carefully . Not what were used to seeing from you.Your still a class act, Great classes

I want to share the information the screen shots have me. 1st the bait and bass was holding between 20 and 25ft. 2nd the smaller bass was on the very top of the break line. 3rd the larger bass was suspended at the same depth, they were about 50ft away from the break line. The two key things I look for is depth and speed. I bet Jonny had figured out the depth with down imaging before he used mega live. What mega live shows is how the bass react to the lure. This is how an angler determines the speed needed for that day. This is why I commented about the fisherman's brain. while watching I asked how would I use this as a tool.

Looks really cool. Can’t wait to see you open up the consumer model. And show it off.

[Cbartlettbo]

Harvey is the man! Great review and sneak peek!

[dfishing]

Interesting but I’m an old school guy. You and Randy are the best! Appreciate the content the two of you put out!

[charlestaylor]

That was some good stuff. What was the name of the Universal mount for the transducer?

[mikekeller]

Interesting. But, I think this technology is still in the 'infant' stages. When the manufacturers get this to where the picture compares to side scan or down scan, then, I will be interested in buying. Your website is great Johnny. Thanks.

Important to note that Garmin forward facing sonar has 20 degree from left to right in forward mode, Lawrence has 18 degrees in forward mode and I believe hummingbird is 22 degrees in forward mode. I believe all three brands have approximately 160 degree coverage from top to bottom in forward mode. Two or four degrees doesn't sound like much difference but with those small numbers it is 10 or 20% difference depending on who you're comparing against.

[aarongreenlee]

I have never been a big hummingbird fan, but the 360 is pretty impressive, I think garmin still wears the crown. I was hoping for more of a leap frog like many others have said.

[IFish]

Will you be doing a review on the new ML2?

[christopherfox]

I love my active target, but I'm digging it. Can't wait to see what its like when all of the bugs are worked out. Thanks for the vid! Nice sneak peek!
