Flipping And Pitching Is Now A Worthless Bass Fishing Technique Because Of THIS… 

Other than topwater frogging....

Absolutely top water and definitely pitching and flipping

For real

Top water frogging or having a musky come eat your bass 😊

THIS the absolute thrill of flipping & pitching is amazing.

Hell yeah while daddy had a natural lite in his hand and hit a tin can on his tenth beer 😂😂 @tab4593

Yes, for hours and hours. This technique revealed to me I was actually ambidextrous. I learned I could pitch and flip faster down a shoreline because I didn’t have to change hands to engage my reel. I also learned I wasn’t missing as many fish due to having to change hands.

I quit my club and actually all watching of all tournaments over it. Tired of seeing the rich guys brag about their boats and now their 25k in electronics. And h don’t want my kids to see that.

He's already done flipped out

It’s worse watching their adult boat captain pointing and telling them where to cast. I see plenty of that too.

Competitive fishing is about catching fish. There are many ways to get away from the screen. I imagine you are ok with regular fish finder screens and I doubt you leave your phone in your vehicle when you are on your boat.

@@MichaelBecker-jn8yi do you have a point? It would still be about catching fish without that black box and the multiple screens and transducers too. Personally I don’t care much what they do on the elite levels, but in these events where scholarships are at stake and sponsorships that can launch young anglers into the next level and a career…. Well I will put it this way. The guy who won AOY and ROY in 2000 and just retired from the BPT last year was able to cut his tournament fishing teeth in a 17 foot aluminum boat with me… I worked to build a couple of youth leagues and get high school programs started so kids could have opportunities that we only dreamed about. Neither of us did that so big money could guarantee those opportunities went to kids who need them the least. Daddy’s money has always bought some advantages but that it’s now basically buying scholarships and opportunities that more deserving kids need is not what the guys who were working toward and talking about building the sport 30-40 years ago were aiming for. Local boat dealers hiring a couple of college kids part time and providing them a basic demo to fish the opens is a thing of the past… because somewhere along the way we stopped trying to grow the sport and just started growing the business. This is an extension of that. As a fisherman, a businessman, and a father… we need to get back to creating opportunities for young anglers rather than adding obstacles. That’s the real story here and I’m saying that as an open water angler who loves his electronics.

​@@MichaelBecker-jn8yiI feel like I'm livescoping watching RU-vid videos on my phone. I'm thinking about ripping the TV off the wall because cable TV is a lost art. Nobody is holding a gun to anyone in these bass boats lol.

@@Appalachias_Son FFS is in no way anything like using a drone. A drone is an actual video or picture. FFS is a sonar image. You do not know exactly what it is you see. Have you actually used FFS? I have watched many of the best anglers in the world have something bite their lure and hear them say “I hope it’s a bass”. Then watch them pull up a drum, or catfish, or striped, or crappie, or other. In using a drone on Elk you are going to be sure it’s an elk and not wonder and then end up with a bear or a rabbit. Please use some facts before putting out your angst and hate for something you don’t understand

Mikey catches nothing flipping

@@michaelmcclenon6663 I'm guessing you've never watched his channel or likely even know who he is ...

He was catching monsters at The Big O flipping before there ever was such things as side scan, power poles, 360, FFS and even 4-stroke engines ...

Hope your joking@@michaelmcclenon6663

Ya apparently dropping Ned rigs and ice fishing is the new trend. I challenge Randy to take this further. Randy I agree with you. You’ve had a huge career and know so many contacts. Why don’t you organize non live scope tournaments with big prize money and anglers that believe in your cause?? Seems to me it’s pretty easy to get everyone with a go pro, using top water techniques, flipping pitching, cranking, jerk baits, spinners witch is what people want to see. Plus you instantly weed out the tech rats. Your a bass randy, livescopers are bottom feeder suckers.

It's not dying at all , the fish are still there to be caught.

Amen 🇺🇸

Yep and I believe he had an 11 lb or so

Ya he was the only one flipping too

Me too!

So am I!

Boy you said it there, instant gratification only. Happy retirement buddy!

Lol. Randy gonna be getting himself a casino next.

He was the crankbait guy

@clay7514 yes he was..but he would switch between the two on a deep water bite and was very successful

@@careyfaulkner7293 I’m sure he did I just don’t recall him usin it

And they no longer run the wishbone accept at the military academies

No ffs is like “hunting” with a drone in the air. Is it illegal to fly a drone and look for deer probably not. But it’s wrong. In Alaska for example it’s a law that you can’t fly and hunt on the same day. It puts the animals at unfair advantage because the person is flying their plane around looking for a better spot to hunt but when they see something they want they say “we’ll land close by because what we’re after is right here” it’s a reason Alaska put a stop to that because it’s wrong. Just like FFS

I was hoping somebody caught that. Sometimes he just goes entirely too far. Hunting long range with a scope takes some serious skill to take the animal down. Round placement is not as easy as just looking down the scope. That was a very ignorant comment. I recently started pitching and flipping. I respect the art form of doing so but I really couldn’t learn it until I got a boat. There’s no need for it fishing from the bank most of your fishing life. This FFS hate has Randy going extreme on damn near everything. I guess we need to go back to washing our clothes in a stream with a wash board because these darn front loading washing machines are the devil. What’s next, electric fillet knives vs non electric fillet knives. Everything does not have to be compared to FFS.

@djboogiejay1616 yes this obsession with FFS has taken over his ability to reason. We are trying to increase the number of young people and kids in the outdoors. Fishing, hunting, shooting anyway they enjoy it. These negative rants always linking FFS need to be commented on and are not helping our sports.

@@djboogiejay1616long range shooting is difficult. So many variables to take into account; however, the variable of the animal sensing you has all but been eradicated when they are 1000 yards away. Heck half the time they will look at you and go back to feeding having no idea that they are in danger. FFS takes some skill as well. The act of fishing and having connectivity to your bait and having some degree of understanding as to how your lure is behaving and the subtle changes that signify a bit are negated when you can watch an electronic representation of the activities underwater in real time. It’s not a magic wand, but it’s far from historic fishing. Much like shooting an elk at 1000 yards with a 300 PRC after dialing 20 clicks on your night force compared to a 300 mag and a cross reticle, no turret, at 350 yards. They simply aren’t the same. It’s a different skill set and a set that a “hunter” or “fisherman” can’t acquire rapidly without intimate knowledge of the animal or fish and his gear.

Because it doesn’t fit his narrative regarding his FFS crusade.

I wondered how they got the ball to hook like that every time.

Facts that don’t fit his narrative are ignored.

Better to teach them tracking skills

Bass fishing today is not a lost art. You just have not evolved. Most people can fish the way you do, just that they have been there done that, or choose not to.

Then they should know livescope is 🗑️ and has and will further negatively affect bass fishing as a whole.p

LOL! I call em 'sissy sticks'

@@gregkuhn7123 fishing for them cold water Carp is much cheaper all you need is Dough Balls and Garlic. And you can use the Garlic to cook them!

Ok, can I have my hair back too? Lol

@@NonTypicalRacing it’s overrated

🤔

So

Hunting in tree forts

I was on board somewhat with the ffs stuff but the more he talks the more I think he’s just desperate for the “good ol’ days”. If you wanna compare hunting the way Indians did to fishing, then I’m sure they didn’t catch their fish flipping and pitching. Getcha a bamboo pole and a string.

@@Bassnbanjos ground up walnut husk

@@Bassnbanjos you can flip and pitch with a bamboo....

@@gregkuhn7123 right lol it’d be tough to do off of your hand carved canoe though

Find something better to do with your time bud

So much for “just accept the advancing technology “ nonsense. There are so many directions technology can improve, just because technology is going one direction doesn’t justify it is the right direction. How it is used also matters a ton. Chemical weapon is one type of technology, function gain research to weaponize virus is a super advanced technology…apparently we cannot embrace these just because they are also technology. There are bottom lines. FFS is not comparable to any existing “technology “ in fishing to date, it has changed fishing fundamentally and has crossed that bottom line.

Great comment. He lost me a while ago, now it's too much negativity, trying to find any analogy to be relevant. Now FFS hurts Flippin, its crazy. Uses terms like, native Americans, student of the game, Real fishing techniques, hunting comparisons that are just ignorant. Should be promoting fishing for kids and young people.

see ya!

Left leaning?? You sound like the leftist using the Karen bit. The left is the ones who started that.
