RE: Balog on scanning – Articles like this demonstrate how competitive bass fishing is becoming more and more of an elitist sport every year. Six graphs and you still need a tablet? Give me a break. Pretty soon the number one prerequisite for getting into the game and making a living is going to be having a wealthy family to back you up. That's really sad.
RE: Balog on scanning – Tournament fishing has become a video game.
RE: Wilks on magazines – Thank God I am not the only guy who still enjoys magazines and uses a flasher unit. That Lowrance unit still works and I am not a tech-gadget guy. We Vietnam veterans are still just as bad-ass now than any Gen XYZ, millennial, snowflake will ever be.
One lure I rarely, if ever, hear mentioned is the PICO Perch and PICO Pop. Padre Island Company, for which the acronym PICO stands for, started in 1933 and stayed in my home state of Texas until 2017, when it moved to Arkansas. I still use the PICO Perch and it still catches plenty of bass for me.
RE: Balog on scanning – Yes, we slept in our trucks and missed many holidays with family ... wouldn't change a thing! Joe knows!
RE: Wilks on magazines – I always read printed stuff rather than online. I can't wait for my next issue to arrive.
RE: Wilks on magazines – Completely agree! The online stuff is fine for going to company websites to view their products, like our beloved Tackle Warehouse. But nothing is more relaxing than sitting under a shade tree and reading a magazine or book. Lots easier on the eyes and needs no battery.
RE: Wilks on magazines – Glad I'm not the only one. I still have the first and I think only BassFan magazine with Greg Hackney on the cover.
BassFan says: Yep, that was the only issue. That photo of Hackney was a doozy, wasn't it?
RE: Wilks on magazines – I agree with Dustin. There is definitely a place for printed bass magazines. The experience of holding the magazine, flipping pages, looking back at previous pages, picking it up and looking at an article briefly if you're sitting in the recliner, just the the handheld simplicity of it versus glared screens, power-charging cords, swiping page to page ... the printed word is just a better experience.
