You can learn a lot about modern bass fishing by listening to what a touring pro worries about when things are going right. We’ve got Monster Athlete Tyler (TStew) Stewart back with us, fresh off a tournament at Douglas Lake, and we get into the real nuts and bolts of finding offshore schools when everyone has the same electronics, the same maps, and the same ideas.

Tyler breaks down how he spends practice idling instead of casting, how he marks dozens of schools on points, ledges, and humps, and why “having fish” doesn’t mean you’ll have a place to fish once 150 boats hit the lake. We also go deep on one of the wildest tools in his box: the Ben Parker mag spoon. It’s huge, it’s heavy, and it still gets bites from fish smaller than the bait when those Tennessee River bass are keyed on big gizzard shad.

From there we talk forward-facing sonar and LiveScope without the usual yelling. We’re honest about how much it changes tournament fishing, why cut weights have climbed, and what happens when leagues limit sonar time to a short window. Tyler shares what good and bad timing looks like, how decision-making speed separates anglers, and why it can feel like the fish are getting more educated every season. We even detour into deer hunting plans for Kansas, ground blind realities down south, and how tech in general, from GPS to Facebook “research” to AI videos, can make all of us a little lazier than we want to admit.

If you like competitive bass fishing, fishing electronics, and real talk about what’s changing in the sport, hit subscribe, share this with a buddy, and leave us a review with your take: has technology made you better, or just more dependent?
