Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Maryland fisheries biologist Ryan Gary to dive deep into one of the most debated topics in bass fishing: forward-facing sonar. Ryan compiled and analyzed data from the entire 2025 Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour season, comparing tournament outcomes, trends, and outliers between anglers who relied on sonar and those who didn't. We break down what the numbers reveal, discuss how technology is shaping the sport, and uncover insights every angler can learn from.If you've ever wondered just how much FFS is impacting bass fishing—or whether the controversy is backed by real data—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

On this week's potentially award-winning episode of Trash Talk with Count Binface is esteemed Earth comedian Richard Herring. He's made cancer funny, poked fun at fascism and even made a whole show about your funny human male reproductive organ - so what will 45 minutes with Count Binface bring? Well... has the BBC forgotten how to do comedy? What's the obsession with Edinburgh? And does having teachers for parents make it inevitable that you'll go into comedy. BREAKING NEWS - as we record this it seems Peter Mandelson (sorry... LORD Peter Mandelson... FFS) has been sacked / asked to stand down / professionally removed from office AGAIN. This unfortunately means we didn't have space to talk about Nadine Dorries, flags on lamp-posts, Angela Rayner, or any of what passes for 'news' in America at the moment.

For the 2026 Bassmaster Elite Series season, anglers voted for limitations of Forward-Facing Sonar. What limitations? Some can say screen size or number of transducers, others wanted half the schedule it be allowed and the other half be restricted. How do we choose which events allow and restrict the use of FFS? A good ole fashioned coin flip determining how the 5 to 4 split would be determined.#bassmaster #fishing #eliteseries

On today's episode, we talk JIGS. We ask you which type of jig you would rather use for the rest of your life: a flipping jig, a swim jig, or a football jig, and then we discuss the results. We also talk about working jigs in current and working jigs from the bank. We also discuss the 'coin flips' heard 'round the world, a dirt cheap Amazon buy that we highly recommend, our favorite ways to cook fish, and more!   LINK TO THE AMAZON PRODUCT FROM THIS EPISODE: https://amzn.to/3V80pCI    Brought to you by:  American Legacy Fishing & Outdoors www.americanlegacyfishing.com Use Code: TACKLETALK5 for 5% Off (including sale items!)

In this episode, we're tackling the massive news shaking the bass fishing world: the new BASSMASTER rules on Forward-Facing Sonar (FFS). Join the discussion as we break down the controversial decision to split the 2026 Bassmaster Elite Series season, with some tournaments allowing FFS and others banning it completely. We'll reveal which tournaments are FFS-free, including Lake Champlain and Santee Cooper, and which ones will still allow it, like the St. Lawrence River and Lake Murray. This change has huge implications for professional anglers. We also cover the latest retirements from two icons of the sport, Skeet Reese and Bernie Schultz, and discuss their legendary careers. Plus, we dive deep into the angler cuts from both the Bassmaster Elites and the MLF Bass Pro Tour, listing the pros who didn't requalify and debating what's next for them in the world of tournament bass fishing. Whether you're for or against the FFS ban, this is a must-watch conversation for every bass fishing fan. We share our candid opinions and want to hear yours in the comments! #BassFishing #ForwardFacingSonar #Bassmaster #MLF #Fishing #TournamentFishing #BassmasterElites

You're tired. You're hot. You're yearning for autumn to set you free. But how your garden looks right now has everything to do with the choices you made in past planting seasons and a lot to do with foliage. Have you capitalized on the resilient summer foliage options that keep working when the lobelia has melted and the poppies are so over? This week on The Garden Mixer, Leslie and Marianne explore six of their favorite foliage plants for summer — each choosing a perennial, a shrub, and a tender perennial (aka ‘temperennial') — and then choose their favorite option from the suggestions sent in by listeners on The Garden Mixer Chat on Substack. Overall, the girls are in remarkable agreement this week…except for one, notable exception.What are we looking for in summer foliage? Are flowers a necessity or a bonus? And, how many times, precisely, should a gardener kill a plant before giving up?All this and Leslie learning the meaning of FFS, on this week's The Garden Mixer._______________________________Be sure to hit the subscribe button so we can keep you smiling while you hit the mess [your garden] out there.Full Show Notes at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Garden Mixer Podcast's Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠________________________________Socials – Pick Your Platform:Follow us on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thegardenmixer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Indulge us on TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@the.garden.mixer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spar with us on X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gardenmixerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠“French Bistro” theme by Adieu Adieu.

Confusion with new “Side Pot” categories coming - How much of the whole entry goes to which pot??? Lots of the “Non-FFS Peeps” aren't happy with how the tournament has changed, and for other reasons…so I fear the entries may be much lower next year. Forward Facing Sonar and the Future of Tournament Fishing Must Note: This isn't a FFS Bash Fest.  That's not the Point here.  It's not going anywhere.  This is only relating to tournament fishing. Tournament Fishing in general, not just walleye…is all one-dimensional now. I miss the days before FFS on Lake Sakakawea when a tournament could be one in the back of the bays, cranking, jigging, rigging, jig raps, chubs, etc. etc.) - So many techniques came into play.   NOT HATING ON FFS - Just merely pointing out how it's changed walleye tournaments. Musky guys seem to either HATE or EMBRACE…no middle ground.   2019 - NWT in Oshkosh, WI - First event of the season, 154 entries. 93, 79, 82 entries in the first 3 events so far in the NWT in 2025 2025 Leech Lake Walleye Tournament (10-year waiting list 3 years ago) - 135 of 155  https://leechlakewalleyetournament.com/results/ Minnesota - Mille Lacs - Isle - June 9th AIM - 83 teams this year compared to 100 https://software.aimfishing.com/event/285/isle-mn Banned on MN Muskie Tournament Trail: https://muskyinsider.com/blogs/past-newsletters/ronnestrand-mods-pmtt-news-tackle-tariffs Let's face it - some guys are REALLY REALLY good at FFS.  So good, you tend to see the same names in the top 10 of every leaderboard (if not top 5).  AGAIN, not hating.  Just noting from an outside perspective.  Midwestern men are old school and they don't like donating for too long LOL… Tournament Fishing in 2025 going forward - you either embrace/practice/master FFS or you may as well get out of tournament fishing.   Don't forget…FFS is here to stay on major scenes because if they banned it they'd lose A LOT of sponsorship money too…just sayin Would you buy a pizza specific oven?

In this industry-focused episode of Bass Vault, we examine the surprising resurgence of traditional bass fishing techniques dominating 2025's professional tournament scene. The discussion analyzes how four of seven Bassmaster Elite Series events were won without forward-facing sonar, featuring victories like Bill Lown's swim jig approach, Brandon Palaniuk's cranking success, and Pat Schlapper's FFS-free grinder win. We explore factors driving this shift, including rule changes limiting FFS usage, diverse scheduling, and wetter spring conditions favoring shallow water fishing over suspended bass patterns. The episode breaks down how "scoping" encompasses various techniques beyond stereotypical presentations, discusses the role of unfamiliar venues in leveling the playing field, and celebrates the versatility returning to professional bass fishing while acknowledging that elite anglers will always adapt regardless of technology constraints.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.

On this eye-opening episode of Fishing the DMV, we dive headfirst into one of the most controversial topics in the sport today—is Forward Facing Sonar (FFS) really to blame for the current issues in bass fishing tournaments?I explore the conversation from all angles by breaking down recent articles, analyzing YouTube commentary, and—most importantly—digging into five years of tournament and sales data to examine the rise of FFS and its true impact on state-level bass circuits.But that's not all—we're also connecting the dots on how technology and affordability are reshaping bass fishing access for younger anglers.

On this episode of Fishing Friday Live, Ben and Pete hold it down while Trey's off in the Great White North chasing smallmouth. The guys break down this year's ICAST – what stood out, what flopped, and why innovation in the fishing world feels stale. They also tackle the drama surrounding Logan Latusso's DQ from the Bassmaster Elite Series—fair or flawed? And for the first time on the show, they have their most honest, in-depth discussion yet about forward-facing sonar—how it's changed fishing, and why their opinions are shifting. From flooded lakes and trolling motor debates to heartbreaking local boating tragedies, this episode is packed with real talk, gear insights, and what's really happening on and off the water.

FFS i grew up on 3-2-1- Contact and know that a little water in any electrics is NOT fucking ok. WTAF is even happening. And a "leak" is not lighting fixtures crashing to the floor and cascading water pouring down 6 flights flooding every floor. I don't care what bullshit cover your ass lawyer jargon you put in your response to my email. fuck. for fuck's sake. And yes there were more urgent issues happening throughout the city but 6 hours of waiting is a bit bonkers. no? Anyway, more rain to come so stay tuned......oy.

Mindfulness Training for Smoking Cessation: Results from a Randomized Controlled TrialIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and colleagues present findings from a groundbreaking randomized controlled trial comparing mindfulness training (MT) to a standard smoking cessation program (Freedom From Smoking, FFS). The study demonstrates that MT not only reduced cigarette consumption more effectively during treatment but also sustained these improvements through a 17-week follow-up. Participants who received mindfulness training achieved significantly higher abstinence rates (31% vs. 6% for FFS) and showed a greater capacity to "sit with" cravings rather than react to them. Learn how mindfulness leverages awareness and acceptance to disrupt addiction loops, offering a scalable, evidence-based solution for smoking cessation.Full Reference:Brewer, J.

The main argument this week came to be about which had more of an effect on fishing, mapping or FFS. We discussed plenty of other topics such as kids in the boat, walleye, poison water in Illinois, elk hunting in Minnesota, live bait issues in Minnesota, deaths at Isle Royale, algae blooms in Missouri, Iowa fish kill, the importance of debriefing, and so much more.

Scott Palmer from The BASS TANK chats about the history of FFS and what could be on the horizon.  

In this episode from Becker's 2025 Annual Meeting, Dr. Sanjay Doddamani, Founder and CEO of Guidehealth, joins Erica Carbajal to challenge the idea of replacing fee-for-service outright. Instead, he advocates a more pragmatic path—tying fee-based payments to outcomes (FFO rather than FFS) and enabling them to coexist with two-sided value-based models to accelerate adoption beyond traditional structures. The conversation explores how health systems can leverage data, aligned incentives, and AI-powered care navigation to improve outcomes while maintaining financial flexibility. Tune in for a clear-eyed look at how coexistence—not replacement—is key to accelerating the shift to value.This episode is sponsored by Guidehealth.

JT Thompkins Fishing has started on the second half of his 2025 season on the Elite Series. This week he just secured a top 5 fiinsh with an incredible bag of over 120 pounds for the 4 days. A tourney that saw 10 anglers achieve this feat and the all time largest bag was in jeapordy. The lake could only be the one and only Lake Fork in Texas. The show that this lake and these anglers put on may have rivaled any moment in sports over the weeked and possibly years of history on the Elite Series. It was an honor to have JT call in on his way to the nest stop on the Sabine River. We talk baits, his surrent streak, and the rest of the season with 4 events left. He has made us proud all year, and at this streak he is on he will have a hot finish and be a force to reckon with on all the bodies of water left on the schedule. Be sure to go check out all of his videos and give him a follow on all the social media platforms out there. Go Get Em JT!!!!

I'll never forget the first time I sat down with a dental insurance representative, and started asking questions. I began with questions based on all the “false information” that had been thrown at me through the years regarding PPO contracts, such as: “sending in fee-for-service (FFS) fees increases PPO reimbursement rates”, or “you can't upgrade patients on PPO plans” and many others. Her response to my questions was very interesting and not what I expected.Support the show

In this episode we answer emails from Anderson, Ian, FFS, and Michael.  We discuss using Roths earlier in accumulation and tax considerations, wrestling with an expensive 401k plan with limited options, and the various and sundry deficiencies of this program and its website.  Rest assured, we have "top men" working on it.  Top.  Men.And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Breathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Welcome to the dive bar of personal finance, where frank conversations about investing happen without sponsors, guests, or corporate jargon. In episode 420, Frank Vasquez serves up practical wisdom alongside his signature blend of humor and no-nonsense advice.The heart of this episode centers around listener questions that reveal common investing dilemmas. When a father of six asks about Roth conversions while in a low tax bracket, Frank not only endorses the strategy but takes the opportunity to debunk widespread myths about future taxation. "The fear of future taxes is often overblown," Frank explains, noting how this anxiety is frequently exploited by financial professionals selling expensive products. He articulates why most people actually face lower tax rates in retirement—a perspective that runs counter to conventional financial advice but makes perfect mathematical sense when examining income sources and tax treatment.Another listener struggling with limited 401(k) options receives thoughtful guidance on transitioning from 100% equities to a more balanced risk parity approach. Frank's explanation of the "macro allocation principle" illuminates why focusing on the percentage of stocks across all accounts matters more than perfect diversification within any single account. His pointed criticism of target date funds—describing them as "easy but not simple"—offers a refreshing counterpoint to the retirement industry's oversimplified solutions.The episode culminates with Frank's detailed review of eight sample portfolios, revealing how diversification strategies are performing in today's volatile markets. While the S&P 500 struggles with a 3.02% year-to-date decline and small cap value plummets 13.16%, gold shines with a remarkable 23.2% gain. More importantly, the risk parity portfolios demonstrate remarkable stability compared to single-asset approaches.Whether you're considering tax strategies, rebalancing your portfolio, or simply looking for straight talk about investing, this episode delivers valuable insights without the financial industry's typical marketing hype.

On Episode 5 of the TnZ Podcast, Tommy and Zona discuss Paul Marks' victory on Hartwell, the impacts of Sight Fishing vs FFS on lakes and who needs to step up the second half of the 2025 Bassmaster Elite Series season.#podcast #bassmaster #fishing

In this insightful episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, Wes Reed, CPA, CFP and founder of Practice CFO, breaks down the real financial impact of staying in-network with PPOs versus transitioning to a fee-for-service (FFS) model. Using a crown-focused case study, Wes illustrates how fewer procedures can yield significantly higher profits under FFS — even with some patient attrition. If you're a dental practice owner evaluating your profitability strategy, this episode will give you a clear-eyed view of the numbers that matter.Key Points Covered:The purpose of PPOs: high patient volume but lower profit margins.FFS model: fewer crowns, less overhead, but more profit.Why many dentists feel trapped in PPOs despite shrinking reimbursement rates.A detailed crown-based financial comparison: 30 PPO crowns vs. 20 FFS crowns.Key overhead costs: fixed vs. variable and their implications in each model.Why switching to FFS can potentially double your net profit.The long-term sustainability challenges of staying in-network.How patient relationships and brand strength affect attrition rates when transitioning out-of-network.Practical considerations for associate-driven vs. solo practices.#DentalBoardroomPodcast #PracticeCFO #PPOvsFFS #DentalEconomics #FeeForService #DentalPracticeGrowth #DentalProfitability #OutOfNetworkDentistry #DentalCPA #DentalBusinessTips #CrownCaseStudy

Kevin Rogers from the NPFL joined us to talk all things swimbaits. He's got a wall of baits that would put most of us to shame. We dove into how he incorporates big baits into his tournament game—and how they've started to overly dictate his approach. I asked him about his process for practicing ahead of events and how throwing big baits helps him locate fish on any lake in the country. He also shared some insight on the outlawing of forward-facing sonar (FFS) in the NPFL and how that move seems to have brought a bigger crowd to the professional trail.Kevins social's:IG: kevinrodgersfishing
