Got mine today at Dunham Sports for $593.00 after tax. They had a sell going on for kayaks, this one wasn’t on sell but the manager gave me 20% off. First kayak I’ve ever owned. Can’t wait to get it on the water and do some fishing.
Currently living in NKY and Field & Steam is just 10min. away and they sell Pelican Catch 100 for less than $700 / maybe $660 but this is the one I too want to get sooner the better. good luck and good fishing..thx
Great boat, I installed a skeg off the stern to correct lack of tracking, boat drifted left, horribly. Only rod holder I use is the front right, to help fussing with tackle. I lost a rod that was in rear holder, branch grabbed it, rod was gone before I could react. All in all, I'm looking forward to getting back on the water. The paddle holders are useless, I rest paddle on my lap. I may remove the holders. Over all I am very happy with this kayak, it fits in my Element with tailgate down, very easy to load. My comments after a season in a Catch 100
I just got one and I'm planning on testing it out soon. I'm a female 130Lbs and I'm planning on taking my 50Lb Service dog with me as well. I put my supplies up front (pretty comfortable set up) and he gets to sit in the area behind the seat he's a very adventurous dog that loves the water. It's my first kayak so I hope it goes well!
Bin looking at the pelican 100, but here in canada it's the stripped down version, so now thinking about the nxt120 in that nice venom color. Waiting for the new year to see all the new pedal yaks that come out. My fishing season is coming to an end so this will give me time to check out all the new pedal yaks including pelican/riot kayaks/ and a bunch of other ones at a good price point.
Rob, I bought the same boat today, (on a whim) thanks for your review!! I will take it out on the pond in the morning after work...wish me luck. Oh and this is my first yak as well!!
I motorized the pelican trailblazer nxt. 100 it made an excellent electric kayak,,I would like to put a motor on the pelican catch 100 maby I'll get a chance too this season
It's fine for me, but I don't have any back issues so I'm not sure how it would work for you. But definitely better than most of the cheaper seats out there.
Philip Johnson Although I was aiming at a 100, a military veteran brother of mine was upgrading to the new peddle drive model so he sold me his Catch 120 at a very great price. Love the stability and only added a front facing flush rod holder. Only other addition might be a skeg for better tracking and maybe a new seat as the current one is torn.
Nice review, looking forward to watching your videos and your adventures on your new kayak. Wish you lots of fish on your new kayak. I’ll be ordering one for myself soon. How does the back of the seat feel when wearing a life jacket, does it feel like you’re being pushed forward?
@@ylomnstr ist my first yak too i think os because of the current under the water because i have problems only when I'm a the bays not in lakes but its a good yak amd stable
@@ylomnstr okay. I bought a sun dolphin 10 SS sit on top with the low seat but it offered no back support. This kayaks seat appears to offer firm solid back support. How would you rate it 1 as bad and 10 as awesome in back support?
The seat is all day easy for me. There is a space in the seat that is made so you can roll up a towel, t shirt and stuff it in for added lower back support. This kayak is amazing!
I went with 96". Longer is better for this rig. I went with this one: www.ozarksource.com/unified-marine-seasense-x-ii-96-kayak-paddle-orange-yellow.html

I totally... agree. I really like the yellow version of the Pelican Sport The Catch 100...

Working OT right now to buy my Catch 100...also my first Kayak. I want mine for fishing and getting to hunting spots on public land.

NICE REVIEW !! PELICAN CATCH FOR Me The Best kayak ever !!! motorized !!!
I just ordered one bc I popped my inflatable too many times. I’m so excited!
Good review Rob. Thanks for sharing. Good fishing to you!
Nice video. I'm fishing out of a Catch 100. Really enjoying it.
It looks like they upgraded the handles since I've gotten mine.. yours has beefier handles
Good luck with the new kayak
Hank Pretz Kayak Fishing thanks!

Very good review. How is the weight loading in your truck?
Easy. Very light especially compared to my buddies Jackson
How is the seat on your back? I have lower back issues....
It's fine for me, but I don't have any back issues so I'm not sure how it would work for you. But definitely better than most of the cheaper seats out there.
Great review!
It's my goal to get this bad boy.
Did you get one? what do you think?

I have that same kayak and i love it the only problem I've had is when i paddle sometimes is hard to advance idk if u have the same problem
It's my first Kayak so I don't have anything to compare it to. Seemed ok when I use it
@@ylomnstr ist my first yak too i think os because of the current under the water because i have problems only when I'm a the bays not in lakes but its a good yak amd stable
You forgot to show what it would be like to paddle with the rod in the front rod holder. It looks like you would be hitting the rod all the time.
How does the seat treat your back? Is it a sit all day or half day kind of ride?
It's pretty comfortable considering it's not a padded seat. If you have back issues it may not be the best, but definitely not a bad seat whatsoever

@@dangerdave22 I'd give it a solid 8 without a doubt

Nice kayak bud 👍👍👈
Wow I’d be freaking livid if they dragged it like that and scratched it, but great review, I’m asking for this boat for Xmas!! 😋
Remember one thank always wear your life jacket in any boat sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how was it?
Hey I know this is a wider kayak so can you tell me what length paddle you need for it
I went with 96". Longer is better for this rig. I went with this one: www.ozarksource.com/unified-marine-seasense-x-ii-96-kayak-paddle-orange-yellow.html
