@@richardkeller6940 I love the ol bass raiders.. very stable, made out of HDPE which is easy to repair.. they’re just good boats. The Nucanoe, however, is probably one of the more versatile and stable kayaks on the market. They come with tracks so no drilling for upgrades/mods. You can throw two seats for two folks(tandem kayak) and they’ve got plated areas for wiring, thru hole access, etc. the drainage in this things crazy. Over 400lbs on my kayak at a time and I’ll fall out before it ever flips. They even have a pedal drive attachment which flips up if you hit anything. All parts available through their website as well. I got the kayak bc it was easier for me to use and to also tournament fish with. So if you ask me now which if the two I’d purchase. The Nucanoe unlimited. Hard to beat.. if you fish with another individuals, the pelican bass raider. Both can hold up to 600lbs! The pelican just manages that weight a bit better.
@@braxfv I’m running the Nucanoe unlimited right now! I’ve done quite a bit to it so I’ll make a walk through here soon. I’m running a 55lb thrust trolling motor in the front. Garmin 7SV, yak attack black pack, battery box behind it. And a dolly system made from a transom mount. Stable little boat! Drainage system and stability sold me on this kayak!
Good video man. Those were some nice size fish man. I know it was tough but you stayed in there . Good job man. I also like how you was fishing barefooted 👣 man. I have to kayak 🛶 barefooted 👣 too because I have big very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 sz15 6E wide ( which is very very extremely wide feet 🦶 ) with very very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across making my foot very very Extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. It's not easy having a foot this extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide. My foot outgrow shoes , socks , & boots when I was young because of how evenly straight across my toes are. I wish my toes were at a 45° Degrees angle like your toes are so that I could wear close toes footwear but i have to wear open toes footwear because of how fat & chubby & Evenly straight across my toes are. Good video buddy thanks you for sharing this video.
@@mackjenkins7721 Thanks for watching and for the kind words! As for fishing barefoot, I’ve been barefoot since I can remember haha. That’s just how we were as kids! I wear crocs sometimes, flip flops usually come right off as soon as I step in The kayak tho 😂! Got to stay comfortable!
@TheFishChase Brothers I am the same way too. I was born with very very extremely wide feet 🦶 with my toes Spread out wide. I was raised up being barefooted 👣 or wearing flip-flops 🩴 all my life. I hated wearing shoes & socks because they crush & hurt my 4 / 5 toes because of how my toes were Evenly straight across & my feet 🦶 being very very wide . I can only wear flip flops 🩴 now & I can barely & I mean barely put them on because my toes are wider than the flip flops 🩴straps. I like crocs but I can't wear them because of the toes box being close up. I have 6 boys & they all have crocs & they love wearing them in the winter time because they all have very wide feet 🦶 too. My wife said that it's Is my fault for making all 6 boys with very wide feet 🦶. All 6 of my boys love wearing flip flops 🩴 the most because it's very comfortable for them. We are a huge huge huge flip-flops 🩴& barefooted 👣 fan family. We are Either barefooted or wearing flip-flops 🩴. I am barefooted 👣 more because I have to drive my car 🚗 barefooted 👣 because my foot Touches both gas & brakes pedal at the same time because of how extremely wide my feet 🦶 are. I have to look down at the pedal to see where to put my foot at so that I don't have a rear end collection. I think I have to go through because of how extremely wide my feet 🦶 are for being 6 1/2 inches wide. I with you on being comfortable on the kayak 🛶 barefooted 👣 man. Right on brother. We was born barefooted 👣 let stay barefooted 👣. You have a good weekend brother & it awesome how you like being barefooted 👣 .
Great job even with those hot days you grounded to the end got yourself a honest bag total! Thank you for sharing your day tight lines take care and God bless!❤
Thank you sir! They usually do pretty good at heading straight into the net. If they’re kicking a lot I’ll hold them down! I need to tether my phone so I can worry less about dropping it and more about the fish🤣
Nice video man, just found this channel and subscribed! I live in central Florida and have gotten back into fishing and hunting as of last year. Have to shore fish as I dont have a boat. Might get one like the one you have, due to no place to store a boat right now. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Good luck brother!
Man I just saw this comment, sorry for the late reply! Thanks for subscribing! There are a lot of great places to bank fish around here but it is nice to get away from it every now and again. Great deals on these style boats on market place! Also, got a special video dropping this weekend, stay tuned!
Thank you! As for the advantages.. there are a few. These little pontoon style boats are super stable, easy to repair (HDPE can be easily plastic welded if ruptured, the endless amount of mods you can add. Fishes two 250 lb men just fine! Great to hunt and fish from… rated for a 2.5hp motor. I think these are perfect for those that just want to get out and fish and or a starter boat to learn from. With that being said, I’ve recently purchased a kayak. Some may call it a canoe, but it’s the Nucanoe unlimited.. although it’s a beast of a kayak, loaded down it’s still easier to move around and lighter than the pelican. Truly the only reason I moved to a kayak was for the efficiency, easier for just myself to move around, and more opportunity for tournament fishing here in Florida. If you fish solo, I’d say you cant really go wrong with either one.. just know the pelican is 145 lbs dry plus whatever you add to it. Kayaks for the most part can range from 60-100( with the seat). Again if you’re solo like myself, unless you get a trailer, it can be just as time consuming to unload / load a pelican vs a kayak. It’s all personal preference tho! Tight lines!
Hey Richard, unfortunately I had a deal offered and ended up selling the pelican. I will be modifying another Jon boat for you guys soon! I do apologise!
Haven’t tried to enter a kayak tournament with it yet but I plan on getting a kayak for just that. As for the tourneys I fish, they’re with slay nation! They have a small vessel series which is like a John boat series. Folks fish in kayaks, some in bass raiders, some in John boats!
I live in Lakeland. If you want big bass out of saddle creek, you need to go across the street to the two ponds that they own that hardly anybody fishes. The ponds are across 92 from Phillips bait and tackle.
@TITVNBEATS It's possible. You just pull off to the side of the road and launch in. The first pond to the right already had an opening to launch. I always had jon boat that I put in. Now, the second pond to the left is a little harder to get into because it's overgrown but can be done with paddles.
@@tonyb-50 hard to beat! I’m not going with a motor on this one, however, I see guys do it all the time and they work fine, 2.5-4 hp motors. I’ll be dropping an overview on this one as a few folks have requested one! Video will drop soon!
It always kicks my tail, I tried to use that front last weekend as an excuse to go out there 😂. You’re right though, very tough spot! Thanks for watching Seth!
Interesting how you have trolling motor on the back. I have mine on front thinking it would be easier to control. Also wondering if you are still planning on doing a walkthrough? Thanks man
I run the trolling motor on the back so it’s not in the way! If it’s windy, having in the front could definitely make it easier! As for the walk through, I’ll be uploading one this month! I’ve got one more upload before the walk through!
I'll take a 19 inch bass any day. Nice little 1 man boat. 4 fish is a good day for me. You may not have secured a 1st place this year, but you got another sub 👍🏻
Fishing can be hard! Best advice I’ve ever been given is if I’m moving it slow and not getting bites, move it slower! Try just a standard Texas rig with a 1/4 oz or 3/16 oz bullet weight, with a size 4 offset shank hook(worm hook). Most of the time you can catch all sizes with that setup. Especially those bass that pick it up and run. The offset hook has a better chance at hooking them even if you miss the hook set. (Exactly what I caught the fish in the video on!) I hope this helps!
My Man! Great video!! Glad to see you posting again! I can tell you put a lot of time in the video. If you post consistently you will cross over 100 subs quick! I like the new camera angle by the way! 👍🏻🎣
Great job on those tournaments, keep it up and you will definitely bag a few for sure! Love the boat and look forward to more videos.. I too fish from this style small boat, I have Pond Prowler 10’.
