ICAST might be the biggest event in the fishing world — but there’s a serious issue no one wants to talk about. In this video, I explain why I think ICAST is on shaky ground, being overshadowed by the Bassmaster Classic and making the same mistakes as tournament bass fishing: too much hype, out of touch with everyday anglers, and stuck in an industry bubble. Between half-empty booths, over-the-top influencer presence, and a lack of real innovation, ICAST 2024 is starting to feel more like an outdated trade show than the heart of fishing’s future. If something doesn’t change, I’m not sure how long it lasts. Whether you’re a weekend angler, a tournament fan, or just tired of the same old industry hype, this is a conversation that needs to happen.
