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.

Aftco break water gloves 🧤
AFTCO Breakwater Gloves… Great Podcast again, Dave!
Awesome Gloves.I need them
aftco breakwater gloves. Bassmaster really sucks with FFS. thats why KVD and true anglers are leaving!
aftco breakwater gloves. Clark said the ultimate "Gospel in a Nutshell"
If it wasn't for FFS, Tucker Smith wouldn't even know how to cheat!
the Mercer solution would be great…. if FFS was prohibited in practice!
Aftco Break Water Gloves. Great Show!
Would Clark be willing to fish the NPFL?? #AftcoBreakwaterGloves
Great hearing Clark's view on bass fishing in today's world.
great show…. Aftco Break Water Gloves
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.
Then why do they use it every tournament if they can fish?
IAM from Missouri the show me state
Aftco Break Water gloves
thanks Mercer
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.
Great program!!!! Aftco break Water gloves!
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.
Fished an FLW tournament with Clark one year and had a great day. He is a fantastic person and now a good friend
I can tell that Mercer did not like what Clark had to say. Good for you Clark !!
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 …
Once the BPT format takes off you'll see BASS change to this as well
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.
Aftco breakwater gloves would be sweet for ice fishing
