*Very well-made, stable, comfortable **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love that everything fits in bag. Easy to paddle for single person as well, however might be too heavy to carry by one.*
I just got the 2021 Predator from Old Town 2 days ago. Easy to set up and I had it on a pond yesterday. I did flip it but was trying to find my limits. What an awesome yak
Chris, again always ready to watch your videos bro. Kastking , I actually like the brand myself. Although at this moment I'm using a Lews, which isn't a bad set up. Man bro, your hitting up those monsters ma man. Love the footage , tight line's never stop bro.
I've had this 2021 predator since July 2nd. First time on the water July 3rd. First time out was a shock to my legs. 😊. So I ain't fishing on it yet but I've had it out 5-6 days a week 2-3 hours on weekdays and 4 to 6 hours on weekends. This things getting me back in shape. I peddle it and paddle it. It's crazy stable. 30 pounds off my fat ass in just over a month. Now that I'm able to operate it much easier I'm ready to install the fish finder and light system. I didn't want to go up to Flathead lake with my buddies who have hobies and kayaking for many years. Now that I can keep up I'm going out. I don't even care if I catch a fish! I just want to be able to keep up so I get invited again. I love this kayak!
Is that holder for the Original Fish Grip? I never saw that... Where did ya get it? Have you ever had a chance to paddle the Discontinued Jackson Kraken? I'm wondering how they compare on Seated Stability. Thanks!
Great vid bro you got your sealegs for sure on that Yak .you been hanging with Mr. Murphy to long ,with that straight braid no leader. Lol been trying that myself.
Great video, nice reds !! Ya, I fish the first few hours of the morning, and around the full moon is a pretty tough bite. Their just not that hungry or aggressive early in the morning bc they feed a lot at night. I still go fishing anyways Lol. I try to take those days that I know I will struggle, and still make the best of it.
That’s whats up man. Ain’t nothing wrong with going out on a tough bite. This episode was filmed after nearly a full moon and the bite didn’t turn in will later in the AM. Much more rewarding 🤙
When using your predator in the marsh.. do you just pretty much paddle only because of depth, or are you able to utilize the drive? I’m trying to decide if I want to go back with a PA14 or a predator/bigwater pdl or a couple others.
Topwater definitely has a different bow and you'll feel the difference when launching through the surf. As for coming back in I still recommend reversing it. Just pull your rudder up, unlock the drive in the center so that if you hit a sandbar it will pop up, and use your paddle in place of your rudder. The bigwater punches through moderate surf much better than the Topwater. Just be sure to build that momentum when you punch through, there's no forgiveness when pedal kayaks jam in reverse.
@@NextLevelFishingTV yeah I’ve been jumping out on re entry ever since I got catapulted when nose hit a sandbar last year. Was surfing great with the paddle then… boom I flew out and lost some gear

RIGHT ON!!! And yes just like anything else, once you find your center you'll know what it can and can't handle from you.

I sold my Bonafide because it paddles like a barge it was very stable now Iam a believer thanks for great information
No problem, hope you enjoy it...it’s a great kayak!
Nice fish Chris thanks for really testing that reel!
Thanks! Still smooth as silk and much more fish to come. Hoping to put her on a BULL soon. Thanks for making a great reel 🤙
Awesome video bro! Got myself a kaku zulu and getting it ready for catching some reds. Be safe out there. 🤙
Awesome man, hope you enjoy it. Get on those reds!

YakGear makes a fish grip holder. Kraken was an awesome kayak, just a little unstable compared to others in its class.
Great vid bro you got your sealegs for sure on that Yak .you been hanging with Mr. Murphy to long ,with that straight braid no leader. Lol been trying that myself.
Hahaha, has a blast with Matt in Florida. Good dude man! Great hearing from ya, tight lines Slik!
Love those upper slots. Nice work Chris!
Thanks man! Always good times battling these reds till an offshore window opens. Definitely been a windy year.

Depth in this situation. I’m in about 1ft of water.
Just pulled the trigger on my big water. Fishing corpus vs Galveston the topwater wasn’t cutting it in the surf

@@Tmfndlb ughh, yea those will haunt ya for a bit. I have a couple of surf entry videos where I go into details about that.
Great video to drink my coffee thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it KMF 🤙⚔️

Glad you enjoyed the video! As always thanks for your support! 🤙
Great video good information on fishing
Thanks brotha, glad you enjoyed it 🤙
Great video. That kayak’s stability is not insane.
Thanks for tuning in Salazar 🤙
Next Level Fishing TV you keep making them we’ll keep watching. Thank you.
I just bought one going out this weekend
Let us know what ya think!
I will give a honest review thanks
Thinking about this or topwater
That topwater is a little more stable from what I've experienced on demos, but you do sacrifice speed for it. Both great kayaks!
nice edit job and video
Thanks brotha 🤙
DOA CAL Shad in Bone Diamond??
