It technology RUINING fishing... or SAVING it?
The rise of forward facing sonar (and other tech for that matter) has changed fishing forever. But some argue its use is not sustainable for fish populations.
Every year, the Department of Natural Resources raises and stocks millions of walleye, musky, and trout across thousands of lakes... effectively engineering the wilderness to keep the sport alive.
But can wildlife and the DNR keep up with the increase in fish being caught as a result of fishing most game-changing innovation ever: forward facing sonar? To answer this quesiton, I investigated our obsession with fishing funds the very system that keeps it possible and the infinite loop of fish, tech, and taxpayer dollars… and my father-in-law caught a huge Musky (the fish of 10,000 casts) while doing it.
