Nice catch. You might consider a rod leash if you’re gonna use that rod holder. The gear tracs on those kayaks are notoriously weak and the holder will rip off if you hook a big one. 🎣
Good vid man , keep it up, couldent see your buddys other side of his kayak , but make sure to have your kayak registered if you have a motor on it , i made this mistake in one of my videos in the past and one of my comments informed me of this regulation 🙂
