Need to throw a Rodfather mention somewhere Never got a fish on live bait (chubs, leeches, crawlers) Fish moved up and down throughout the day - they\u2019re more aggressive up and that\u2019s where FF shines Yes there were cheaters, again.  Yes, and it\u2019s unfortunate, but the evidence of the cheating was messed up.  So they really can\u2019t prove the felony.  LOTS of rule changes coming each year. Confusion with new \u201cSide Pot\u201d categories coming - How much of the whole entry goes to which pot??? Lots of the \u201cNon-FFS Peeps\u201d aren\u2019t happy with how the tournament has changed, and for other reasons\u2026so I fear the entries may be much lower next year. Forward Facing Sonar and the Future of Tournament Fishing Must Note: This isn\u2019t a FFS Bash Fest.  That\u2019s not the Point here.  It\u2019s not going anywhere.  This is only relating to tournament fishing. Tournament Fishing in general, not just walleye\u2026is all one-dimensional now. I miss the days before FFS on Lake Sakakawea when a tournament could be one in the back of the bays, cranking, jigging, rigging, jig raps, chubs, etc. etc.) - So many techniques came into play.   NOT HATING ON FFS - Just merely pointing out how it\u2019s changed walleye tournaments. Musky guys seem to either HATE or EMBRACE\u2026no middle ground.   2019 - NWT in Oshkosh, WI - First event of the season, 154 entries. 93, 79, 82 entries in the first 3 events so far in the NWT in 2025 2025 Leech Lake Walleye Tournament (10-year waiting list 3 years ago) - 135 of 155  https:\/\/leechlakewalleyetournament.com\/results\/ Minnesota - Mille Lacs - Isle - June 9th AIM - 83 teams this year compared to 100 https:\/\/software.aimfishing.com\/event\/285\/isle-mn Banned on MN Muskie Tournament Trail: https:\/\/muskyinsider.com\/blogs\/past-newsletters\/ronnestrand-mods-pmtt-news-tackle-tariffs Let\u2019s face it - some guys are REALLY REALLY good at FFS.  So good, you tend to see the same names in the top 10 of every leaderboard (if not top 5).  AGAIN, not hating.  Just noting from an outside perspective.  Midwestern men are old school and they don\u2019t like donating for too long LOL\u2026 Tournament Fishing in 2025 going forward - you either embrace\/practice\/master FFS or you may as well get out of tournament fishing.   Don\u2019t forget\u2026FFS is here to stay on major scenes because if they banned it they\u2019d lose A LOT of sponsorship money too\u2026just sayin Would you buy a pizza specific oven?
