Is This Even Fair? ($9,000 Fishing Weapon)

This is my very first experience with the Humminbird Apex 16 and its Mega Live 2 feature to target fish. I’m taking it straight to a spot under a bridge where I’ve always struggled fishing, just to see if I can finally get a bite. Stick around to see if this expensive tech actually helps me land enough for a classic fishing Catch and Cook. If I don’t catch it, I don’t eat. The mission was simple: use this new tech to find fish, Have a successful day fishing, Is using this kind of sonar “cheating,” or is it just the ultimate tool for a “no catch, no eat” fisherman? was 9000.00 worth it in tech and gear? I’ll tell ya…. I’m nothing short of impressed how far technology has come. Set the boat on a course – the Minn Kota reads the Hummingbird and the transducer, mega live 2 and mega 360 show you exactly where the fish are.
