These guys are targeting and catching only a handful of bass a day at most and releasing them all....it will not hurt the population of fish, now overcrowding (PIA boating) will certainly be a problem at some of the lakes, but that will limit itself over time.
My guess is you could see crappie limits changed at some point because of the tech. but bass will be fine. Most of the anglers that are springing for this tech. are catch and release only anyway, will you have delayed mortality on some, sure, but destruction of habitat (spraying grass, etc...) is WAY more impactful on the fish population than the invention of these graphs.

I'm not against it. Just saying it will either result in more regulations or in reduced numbers of these large fish.

Livescope is so 5 years ago. Just wait till you see the new stuff. Having to work to locate fish or even the exact size/species of fish you are looking for will be a thing of the past. The only sport left in it will be getting them to take what you keep dropping in front of their mouths as you follow them around.

Capitalism is so awesome, it gives people a means to pull themselves out of poverty but in the name of expanding and growing it sure has unintended consequences from time to time lol. Always looking for the next big thing to increase profits our fishing sports as an example will be demolished in the future, and resources will continue to dwindle and dwindle.

Coupled with targeting and pressuring them repeatedly, I'm sure would raise those percentages.
