I'm with you Jay. I recently stopped fishing bass tournaments because of the use of electronics. Especially side-scan or side imaging. I can't afford the expensive electronics and found myself competing with anglers who use every imaginable electronic device they could get their hands on. Even though they still had to "catch" the fish, they had an extreme advantage over me by using electronics to locate fish, especially in hot weather. I might as well just give them my entry fee and go home. I would love to see someone start a club and/or tournaments where NO electronics are allowed. Now, that would be a challenge !! And, I have no doubt the anglers that rely on electronics would not be weighing in as many fish. This situation is unfortunately what happens when too much money is involved. It takes away the joy and fun from almost every type of sport (football, baseball, basketball, etc.) I know plenty of guys who would love to enter a tournament with a good payout and no electronics.
