Some great insight/perspective from Target Walleye friend Joel VandeKrol:
> I snagged my first LiveScope back in November 2018. 7 years later, I’m really confident in what I’m seeing on that screen. Am I a forward-facing sonar (FFS) guru? Nah, I’d never claim that title. But as an early adopter, I’ve logged more hours staring at a screen than I care to count. Still, after taking THU (Tom Huynh University), I’m hitting the water with a whole new level of screen clarity and personal understanding.
> Here’s the deal: THU isn’t just for rookies. Whether you have a hundred or ten thousand hours on the water, this course will open your eyes. It’s hands-down the most educational FFS platform I’ve ever come across.
> YouTube’s cool, learning from your fishing buddies is great, but there’s only one Tom Huynh. And let me tell you, “Huynh-ing” on the water is something he’s really good at.
Why THU stands out
> I’m a screen-time junkie, always chasing fish and their underwater highways. I love finding fish, studying fish behavior and really trying to understand why they are where they are. But THU took that obsession to another level.
> There’s so much I’d like to share – it’s not my place to spill the secret sauce, but here’s a taste of what I learned:
On-screen adjustments
> One module had me tweaking my display in a way that seems so obvious now, but I’d never thought of it. I was fishing with a couple buddies recently, and we pulled up on a shallow flat loaded with weeds. Big fish were in there, but not all of them were walleyes.
> I put THU’s screen tweaks to work for the first time, and boom – it was like flipping on a light in murky water. Suddenly, I knew exactly what I was seeing. It was one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” moments where THU takes something tricky and makes it stupid simple.
Reading fish behavior
> Tom doesn’t just show you how to see fish – he teaches you how to understand them. I learned how to better read their reactions to my bait – how they move, follow, or ignore it.
> Since I’ve completed the course, I’ve run across plenty of the right ones. Those big marks didn’t bite, but how they moved told me everything: right fish, wrong time. Mark the waypoint and come back later, as Tom says.
Practical, anytime access
> Got 15 minutes between meetings? Fire up a THU module. Need a refresher in the off-season? Log in and review. See something weird on the water? Pull up Tom’s recordings on your phone. It’s like having a pro in your pocket, minus the $600-$800 price tag of a day on the water with a guide.
Not just for newbies
> I bet plenty of guys see THU ads and think, “Psh, I’m good.” I was one of ’em. Big mistake. Sure, us FFS junkies love learning, but self-teaching only gets you so far. That’s where THU comes in. It’s for anyone who wants to squeeze every ounce of potential out of their electronics.
> Like the saying goes: “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t get it.” Tom gets it, and THU makes sure you do too.
Real talk
> I won’t lie and say THU doubled my catch rate or I’ve caught multiple PB’s since I completed the course, (though I’ve heard stories of folks that have). But it gave me 100% confidence in what I’m seeing underwater – like when to move and when to stay put, especially in the dense weeds and shallow structure (3′-8′) I love to fish. For a guy like me, that’s huge.
> THU showed me I was holding myself back with bad habits I’d picked up on my own. It’s like thinking you’re a solid cook because you’ve grilled burgers forever, then a chef shows you how to season the meat right. Tom’s course is that chef.
> The price – couple hundred bucks – is peanuts compared to wasting the thousands you’ve shelled out on electronics by not knowing how to use ’em right.
