Best thing that has happened to fishing in my lifetime.
I'll second that and I have pictures of me fishing at 5 so that makes 48 years. If catching became something that was predictable and I knew that going to spot X would guarantee me Y fish of Z size I would not go.
It's sort of like a giant game of Battleship.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
