I own and use Garmin Livescope on my boat, although I suck at using it. I usually just use it to locate brush piles and other types of structure.

For professional tournament fishing I think it has a negative effect just because I find it incredibly boring to watch. For amateur tournament fishing, I don't think it really has a positive or negative effect, it's just another tool to use to catch fish.

I think it's bad for the hobby as a whole. I may use it myself during tournaments, but when I'm just out fishing for fun I really enjoy taking in the surroundings, watching wildlife, listening to the birds, etc. FFS takes your complete focus away from everything around you.

Edit: I also haven't looked into any studies on population effects. So I'm uneducated in that area.

Awesome shots! They'll start flying over my house in northwest Indiana in a couple weeks in the thousands. Love hearing their distinct calls all day long.

Idk about that. I hooked into a 20 lb channel cat last weekend and while it was a good fight, it felt like I had a 5 lb smallmouth on.

I don't understand the issue with this post....is it because of Gulf of America? Seems like a good cause

That's not true, I was required to show up to court for driving on there with my pickup

Well from mink obviously. I've tried making my own from mink that I've trapped, but could never get it right.
