Clark Wendlandt has won an incredible 4 Angler of the Year titles. He has qualified for 6 Bassmaster Classics and 18 FLW Cups. By anyone’s standards Clark has had a Hall of Fame career. Just last week he shocked many by announcing his retirement, making him the first professional angler to step away from competition and openly admit he is leaving because he disagrees with Forward Facing Sonar. Was he Forward Forced into Retirement? This week he joins the podcast and talks about that and so, so much more on Mercer 187.

  1. Hey Humpers, Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy this conversation. Please remember to LIKE 👍 & comment “Aftco Break Water gloves” for your chance to win a pair of the best cold weather fishing gloves ever made.
    Enjoy Being

  2. This guy thinks like a Republican, if you don’t like what an organization is doing get out of the organization. He has had a great career. I totally hate peoples who think like a Democrat. If you don’t like what an organization is doing force them to change and ruin it for everyone els. M L F is changing the rules so that FFS can only be used for 1 of 3 periods and it will make things more interesting, but at the same time allows technology to move forward. No matter the rules the cream always rises to the top.

  3. Can't stand the other comparisons when it comes to FFS. Comparing lobster & skittles. Saying FFS is another tool like mapping or spot lock is delusional period Dave.

  4. Great episode with Clark Wendlant. He has had a great career. I personally agree with him. FFS is ruining the sport of bass fishing. They should totally ban FFS. It definitely takes the mystery out of fishing.

  5. I really appreciate Dave's comment that many people in the FFS debate present their opinions as facts which they are clearly not. The most egregious of this group goes by the initials Randy Blauket who continually states his somewhat extreme opinion as a fact while never once presenting any actual objective facts to his position. He once gave me the best compliment I've ever received on YT when he called me an "intellectual bully" because I dared to dismantle his argument of supposed facts and show them for what they were , just his opinion …

  6. Clark's take on the subject is solid. It would be great if one major fishing league was FFS-free and the other one with very generous rules regarding the number of transducers and screen size real estate. I respect his views, but some of the anti-FFS folks deserve little to no respect.
