AWESOME review buddy, I'm glad to see you give your honest opinion for the way you fish, and how you resolved the problem. Cant wait for your next one, God bless!👍🙏
Jason this is another area you stand out. I like facts and not bull sh** for dollars. This is the Kayak I am buying before Spring "if I can get my hands on the 136 in the blue and black". My son will be home for good from the Marines and he wants to spend time fishing from a Kayak. My other two sons are going to do the same so I am pumped as you can imagine. I heard you mention Amped I believe as the battery Mfg. I was looking at Dakota but have also heard Alex from down in Florida mention those. Sounds like a 100 amp 12 volt would be good for long trips and heavy use. That was helpful. 54 amp sounds like it may be pushing it so 100 it is. I really don't think there is a better set up out there right now and for a first time Kayak I am certain I will be happy with it. I know to get a PDF that sits low under the arms as well. Thanks for all the tips and thourough walk through.
I have got to give you a big thanks for the rod holders tip I had a old rod and reel broke off my boat after the spawn this year but on a better note I broke my PB that day also 104lb flathead
Thanks Justin for the walk through, seems like every different kayak needs different tweaking to make it just a little and more usable and you hit on some really good points that should be useful for the rest of us. Thanks again for taking the time out to post!
We always enjoy watching your videos and loved watching the long two day tournament. I have had 4 kayaks and currently have an old town and bar none it is the most stable kayak.
Hey Justin. I wanted to let you know from watching your videos and learning from you. I just recently pulled in the biggest catfish I have ever caught. Even though it will be a dink or a fun size to yours. It was a great catch for me. It was 30 inches long and 25lbs.
Hey Justin. Love your channel. I have recently had shoulder surgery and have my eye on this boat for obvious reasons. How far do you typically go from your launch area to your fishing spots? (average and longest)
So i gotta old tarpon back from the 90s early 2000s. Im curious, it doesnt have the side rail (or room for them) but it does have a considerable flat area just behind the seat, could i just drill a 2 by 4 across that and mount rod holders from there? Not catching 60 pounders but would like a stable rod holder system. Let me know what you think @kayakcatfish
Justin you mentioned that towing your kayak on the trailer you are getting 32 miles per gallon with your vehicle vs. topping the kayak. Interested in what vehicle you use and what kind of trailer hitch is installed?
Thanks Justin for the video help a bunch, some question how would you mount the measuring board to measure big blues be very support and don't have a problems? show me we're would be a good place for it?
holding my breath for drop in metal replacement for the tracks , cracked one while trolling with yack omegas switched with the back one best use for them other than the flag holder , by the next season..... how did you fish out the backing plates for you rails?
I just drilled the holes and dropped some fishing line through them. Snaked the backing plate into place. Yak attack has some videos on UA-cam of how to do it
Justin I know you touched on the battery life a little bit. I am not familiar with the area you fish, but where I am located, I would have to dead head up to 3 miles both ways to get to where I would fish. Would you be comfortable with that battery and setup given that scenario? Thanks for any input you have.
I probably wouldn’t run full speed for the entire 6 miles but if you cut back on the throttle a little bit, you should be able to get there and back and spot lock for your trip without issue.
Hey Man love your channel. But I do have a quick question about the new yak. I love to see you catch those big ones and love to see what they measure. I have not seen you use your board on this kayak. Can you because I know that is what you have to do to tournament fish. How is that going to work? Thanks Tony
Appreciate it sir! Im tired of trying to hold a fish and take a picture with my phone at the same time. Phone pictures never do a fish any justice. We enjoy watching your videos!
I could get a nice jon boat for $4k. When I think kayak, I think of an affordable vessel that gets you off the bank. The price on this thing is ridiculous
You can’t reach the area by hand due to the limited access. I drilled my holes and dropped fishing line down into them. I then used some yak attack rigging billets to snake the backing plate into place. Yak attack has some old videos on UA-cam that are very helpful with installing backing plates into places you can’t reach.
Looks great, but your missing two things..... an umbrella and a built in umbrella holder! Lol
Lol no lie he's always getting drenched!
That kayak is freaking sweet! And you’ve got that thing perfectly setup for the type of fishing you do. 👍👍
AWESOME review buddy, I'm glad to see you give your honest opinion for the way you fish, and how you resolved the problem. Cant wait for your next one, God bless!👍🙏
My hero. Great yak. Amazing fisherman.
Kayak Catfish, This is the Kayak I would buy. Stay safe from Pennsylvania Justin God bless

Dang nice kayak bro glad you went around let us check it out
Thanks for the walk-through of the new YAK. I absolutely love my Old Town as well
I love the way you have it set up. The ability to make it work for you is amazing!
the kayak looks so good
I have got to give you a big thanks for the rod holders tip I had a old rod and reel broke off my boat after the spawn this year but on a better note I broke my PB that day also 104lb flathead
Congrats on that huge flathead
As usual, informative as hell. Dig the set up and the Kayak. Saving my pennies to buy one of these bad boys.
Thanks Justin for the walk through, seems like every different kayak needs different tweaking to make it just a little and more usable and you hit on some really good points that should be useful for the rest of us. Thanks again for taking the time out to post!
Alrighty then. I did a little shopping today got me some gulp minnows and jigheads. You talked me into it.
Thank you for the excellent walkthrough, all these little bits of information you give us really do help.
We always enjoy watching your videos and loved watching the long two day tournament. I have had 4 kayaks and currently have an old town and bar none it is the most stable kayak.
Hey man I have been fishing two days and have got two blue cats not catch any down here in Alabama at least I got u to watch keep up the good work
Great information i appreciate your time and the videos
Very good video Justin
Beautiful Kayak and great job. You have so much stuff on that it's very impressive. Thanks for showing Justin, take care man.
Saw a pic in ur book where u had a reelbtied to kayak...lol....clever fellar
Great video for me in the future!! Thanks man you really cover every aspect I appreciate you taking the time

That’s awesome Justin. Thank you for giving us such great detailed look. Appreciate you. Blessings.
Aint. gonna lie wasnt watchin this vid cuz i dnt have a kayak but still stopping by to give u the like then ended up watchin the whole thing lol
Very informative brother. Thanks for taking pride in what your doing. Awesome video brother!
Thanks for the walk thru and list of accessories
I like the new music! I like the new kayak too.
Thanks Justin, this video really helps with rigging. I really like watching your videos. Keep up the great work
Good info on the gear tracks! I'd like to see how you made the seat risers?
Nice set up brother!
Enjoyed the walkthrough... Thank you for sharing !
New subscriber and great videos. 22 miles an hour I’ve never heard of that 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Justin I really like this kayak
love the video, im taking notes. just bought my first kayak and looking for ideals
Do you have a video on the installation of the brackets/ base mounts on the Scotty rod holders?
Tight looking setup
Perfect for my morning break! Hi Justin!!
great video man! thanks! do you pull that jet ski trailer with that car that's in the background?
Thanks justin, I appreciate ya.
That's a badass Kayak. Love the vids Justin keep rocking brotha
Thanks for sharing!
Just bought a kayak my dude. Its only a 10ft but cant wait to get it together
THIS IS THE VIDEO I NEEDED!!!! Bless your soul!!!
Love the videos keep it up
Maybe one of these days they will make catfish kayak
That is a good looking kyack
I would get a double trailer so you can take me with you and if it rains I’ll hold your umbrella 😂
I'd like. to see them make the seat swivel then it would aid in reaching items behind your back
very nice thanks for the info stay safe
Great review.
Another great informative video!
I'm not sure I saw it in the comments... Where did you get the seat risers? Thank you !!!!
great video, lots of infor. you could show your mods. to the trailer too. stay safe.

Great looking kayak bud. Did you modify the Minn Kota to fit where you have it?? It appears you have shortened it to fit the kayak.
No modification needed with this setup. It’s comes from the factory ready to plug and play
Looks great!
Ive never seen 22mpg in life unless i was walking lmao
Thx for the real info it's a great help
What did you use to secure those new rail tracks with screws or bolts And if bolts how did you put the nuts on
I used bolts and backing plates. The backing plates are threaded. Just have to add some loctite and they are rock solid.
This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool. You're a good dude. Do you carry any safety equip? Band aids, tourniquet etc?
No but I do need to add a first aid kit
Justin you mentioned that towing your kayak on the trailer you are getting 32 miles per gallon with your vehicle vs. topping the kayak.
Interested in what vehicle you use and
what kind of trailer hitch is installed?
I have a Honda Fit. U-haul installed the hitch for me.
Thanks Justin for the video help a bunch, some question how would you mount the measuring board to measure big blues be very support and don't have a problems? show me we're would be a good place for it?
I would just lay my board across the gunnels of the hull in front of me
holding my breath for drop in metal replacement for the tracks , cracked one while trolling with yack omegas switched with the back one best use for them other than the flag holder , by the next season..... how did you fish out the backing plates for you rails?
I just drilled the holes and dropped some fishing line through them. Snaked the backing plate into place. Yak attack has some videos on UA-cam of how to do it
I know you have the motor and not a lot of need for a rudder but most guys upgrade to a boondocks rudder
I fucking love this kayak!
Justin, do you find the old town more or less stable than the pa14?
The Old Town is noticeably more stable
Justin I know you touched on the battery life a little bit. I am not familiar with the area you fish, but where I am located, I would have to dead head up to 3 miles both ways to get to where I would fish.

Hey where did u get the seat risers I’m trying to get a set if u can point me in the right direction i’ll gladly appreciate it
Navarre kayak fishing sells them
Hey Man love your channel. But I do have a quick question about the new yak. I love to see you catch those big ones and love to see what they measure. I have not seen you use your board on this kayak. Can you because I know that is what you have to do to tournament fish. How is that going to work?
Thanks
Tony
I no longer fish that organization’s catfish tournaments so I don’t have a need to measure fish. The board will easily lay across the gunnels though.
Kayak Catfish well please don’t stop putting them monster on the board. We love to see those measurements!
Thanks Tony
More about how you made the rod holder need to Copy design please of a short video or something thanks your fan Erik
I just cut down some 1x6” board and made them the size I wanted
I never lost anything from the kayak but I did lose a chair and 8 ft aqua cat pole from the shore. I chased it into water it was gone
You could tack buck seal and stick your transducer in it not in the water tho
I would rather have it in the water for accurate water temps
@@KayakCatfish ok and i was wounding about how much space in the front hatch
Very nice! did you give up on the PA14? or you using both?
Still using the PA for bass tournaments that don’t allow motors
How much did it all cost
How did you put the backing for rod holders in the hull under gunnel?
I drilled out the holes and then ran fishing line through to snake the plates into place. Yak attack has videos on UA-cam of how to do it
Kayak Catfish thanks
do you have the yak attack gear tracks riveted in or were you able to bolt them in?
I used the threaded yak attack backing plates along with some loctite
What is your favorite time weeks Month to catch big catfish?
Spring and fall is the best time for a monster where I live
What is the overall weight of that kayak before you put your gear on there?
Around 120lbs
What kind of camera do you use? Thanks!
Sony action cam
Appreciate it sir! Im tired of trying to hold a fish and take a picture with my phone at the same time. Phone pictures never do a fish any justice. We enjoy watching your videos!
What batteries did you select?
100ah lithium from amped Outdoors
All I need is the seat risers I can't find them things anywhere
I got mine from Navarre kayak fishing
Where did you get the seat risers?
Navarre kayak fishing sells them
I really want one but I can’t see myself spending $4k on a kayak and my wife being ok with it.
Approx what do you feel is the total cost of everything
Around $5k
I have never had a kayak 😢
How do you get more mileage by towing something
Wind resistance when you car top a kayak really hurts gas mileage
Did you kick the Hobie to the curb? Lol.
I still use it for the bass tournaments that don’t allow motors
Is that a $700 battery?😲
Yep and worth every penny
@@KayakCatfish I'll bet, especially with that spot lock running non stop👍🏽
I could get a nice jon boat for $4k. When I think kayak, I think of an affordable vessel that gets you off the bank. The price on this thing is ridiculous
I said I'd watch if you didn't catch a fish, but you didn't even wet a hook. What's upp with that? 😉
how did you access under the Hull to add the mounting plates to secure the metal track
You can’t reach the area by hand due to the limited access. I drilled my holes and dropped fishing line down into them. I then used some yak attack rigging billets to snake the backing plate into place. Yak attack has some old videos on UA-cam that are very helpful with installing backing plates into places you can’t reach.
