So did your smally really way 5lbs, we couldn’t see scales and you did not call out weight? Also be surprised if fish survived after you held it out of water so long
It's not the Xi3, You've got other issues. 1. Yes there is a software update if you haven't done that. 2. You need to be more careful with your controller, I'd suggest running it under your vest so that only a small amount of the lanyard comes out of the bottom, this will reduce the "accidental" button pressing. 3. It looks like you're sitting on an inner tube, that's way too high bud making you "tippy".... Glad you recovered from that. I had an incident where I accidentally pressed a button on my controller while removing fishing line from my propeller. Always a learning experience! 👍🏾
Spot lock is very erratic for me. Also takes a while to get a gps signal sometimes. I wouldn't stand with spot lock on that's for sure. I've calibrated a few times. Maybe doesn't get the best signal and causes a delay or something.
I think what you had happen was the remote was between your vest and leg pushing on a button. I had that happen. I’ve since moved my controller up on my vest. Also, just put it in standby when you’re working with a fish.
It was the crazy winds that day they were swirling around that island I think that's what jacked it up. Seems to be working all right since then but I still don't trust it
