I have personally been on Shane's, Big O Boat now a total of 3 times fishing with him and I can tell you that it is an absolute pleasure to fish on it. Pleanty of room on the bow to put 2 fishermen comfortably and I would even go as far as 3 people can fish on the bow of his boat. The engine he has hanging off his transom is nothing short of amazing and has pleanty of power to get that boat of his movin and get you to the fishing grounds qickly and when I say quickly, I mean like 72 MPH fast. (I know this from experiencing it) He has that boat set up to be a true workhorse of a fishing boat and he definitly is proud to be the owner of such a wonderful piece of maritime machinery there! I myself own a boat like Shane's where I have modeled some of his features on his boat onto mine. The only difference is my boat is a flats boat with a platform over the same brand of engine, and my consol is in the center plus he has what is called a hot foot throttle where my boat has the conventional throttle. NOW...Even though I own my own boat using my own fishing equipment, I will still book Shane and his Big O Boat to put me on the fish just to fish with him because I can always learn new things from him to be a better fisherman.
Now that's a sweet rig ! I never seen a engine cover like that's a good idea. I already scratched my engine cover on mangroves. I also need a Jack plate ! Once again congrats Shane !
Fine boat! congratulations. I grew up around where you came from. Shreveport La.. I don't live there anymore. Every time i watch a video,you remind me of home. how friendly people from there are. Hope to see a lots of videos from that boat looks like it has everything.
+james miller I am from Bossier City. Went to Apollo, GreenAcres and Airline High, LSUS and La. Tech. Growing up in north La. was a fantastic experience. Everyone was nice and the area had culture.
Now thats a bass boat! Looks good and looks functional. notice its a deep V hull as compared to the traditional semi V hulls on other bass boats.Really like the ocean grip decking. Looks like lots of room for your charters. you could put a whole family on that boat and have plenty of room. Congrats Shane.
Congrats on the new boat ! Kinda looks like the custom Bullet I saw that someone was selling . It had a 350hp on it and looked identical in colors to yours
Ken Efting this was one of one of the very first times I drove the boat. It has trim tabs and comes out of the hole flat....now that I know how to use them lol
Congrats! Man you can take that thing to Biscayne bay and even calm days out in the ocean. I like how the bass boats are slowly taking on the styles of bay boats/skiffs. Even the "SeaDeck" cushions are becoming popular. Love it man! How many feet did you say was?
Awesome boat captain,hopefully I might get to see it in person when I come over to America next year. I really want to go and smack some snakeheads on them beautiful canals of yours.quality film loved it.
Congrats I know how hard you have to work at chartering to be able to get that fine looking rig. Next time this Cajun is that way will let you know Im coming Shane !! If you want to fish Venice La. get in touch with me n it's on. Have a great day and GOOD -LUCK 😎✌🏻️🇺🇸
With a boat as tricked out as this one (n-i-c-e water craft!!!!), why no shallow water anchors (Power Pole or the like) at the stern? I love that floor covering!
Alex I run over 50 urban peacock trips a year. Way too many bridges to deal with PP. However there have been many trips in the swamp when I asked myself the same thing😉
I used to wade markham park 30 years ago with my dad. til it dried up in 83 or 84.. now that im old I can afford a good boat. what did it set you back?
Hello Joe. I have not been in S. Florida to see a drought like that. The boat was less than one of the big name boats. This boat is a factory direct sell so you save big $. wwwbigoboats.com
+Captain Shane yah, I really wanna get a good snakehead as I haven't gotten one before, especially since they have been taking over more and more as of late, my buddy's canal behind his house only has snakeheads now
Most likely I am not going to get power poles. The urban areas I have too many low bridges and pipes to go under and through. It was just be a nightmare for me.
Hey captain, I have been subscribed for a very long time. I am wondering how much would it be for me and one of my friends to go out with you for snakeheads?
Roly I thank you for considering me for a trip. I would rather not take a snakehead charter at this time. The areas I can get my boat in have been decimated.
+Kerry Parks I can't use Power Poles. I want them but the urban areas I fish have some very low bridges. PP would just be a pain. I would probably tear them off at some point by hitting a bridge.
But I like my Stratos when it smells like a wet German Sheppard?! Great looking boat you've got my friend... you've earned it! I'll look forward to seeing you put it to good use! BTW, my old Stratos earned me a new personal best today, and I was lucky enough to get it on video!
Good question. This boat sits low in the rear and I wanted to have some weight forward. Moving 3 batteries worked out perfect for my fishing application and freed up some room under rear deck for my other gear.
I agree, im rough on things so aluminum is the way to go. My buddy down in Florida, Chad Hickcox, has seen your ride a few times. I need to make a trip down that way to see what its all about.
I still can't get over how SICK that boat is Shane ! I love it ,,, Cant wait to go fishing with you on it one day ....
I look forward to that day!

That's what Hard Work will bring Congrats on the New Ride. Never seen one like that in TX.
Midge I thank you. You are right, I have out in the work. Thank you for the kind words 👊🏻
Now that's a sweet rig ! I never seen a engine cover like that's a good idea. I already scratched my engine cover on mangroves. I also need a Jack plate ! Once again congrats Shane !
+CaptainSolo Thank you brother!
That's a sick boat Capt.Shane. That boat is ready for them 32 inch Florida bass.🎣
Ethan Hebert I really appreciate your comment Ethan hope I do find a 32"!largemouth lol
I love that you can walk all around the boat. that has to be a plus fighting a big fish!
+Kerry Parks Kerry I believe this is one of my favorite aspects of the boat.
Fine boat! congratulations. I grew up around where you came from. Shreveport La.. I don't live there anymore. Every time i watch a video,you remind me of home. how friendly people from there are. Hope to see a lots of videos from that boat looks like it has everything.

That rig is sick! Love the ocean grip. Man that thing scoots along the water!
Thank you pardner.
+Captain Shane a Florida tigers fan. I love it
Tks Captain for you reply. Will keep you in my prayers.
Congratulations on the new boat! She's a beaut!
Thank you pardner

Looks like lots of room for your charters. you could put a whole family on that boat and have plenty of room. Congrats Shane.
Paul for what I do and how I fish, it is perfect. Thank you brother.
Beautiful boat, Shane. Hard work pays off. You deserve it!!

Congrats!!! Love the videos always good quality. You have worked for it and I hope when I go to Florida one year I can book with you
+Zachary Todd Thank you Zachary
Well congrats on your newly deserved Big O Boat customized to your liking! You'll now be able to catch bass at least 32 inches! Thumbs up! =D
If I get a largemouth bass over 30" that would probably be a record for sure.
Captain Shane...2.0 turboed. Awesome video sir!
+Robin Peters Thanks Robin
nice man! the new boat is sick glad you got exactly what you wanted well deserved!
+954LesterChester Thank you Lester!
Dry, fast, comfortable, no carpet... what more can you ask for?... Hawg Tech Stickers! Nice boat, Capt.
Mike I have a HawgTech sticker to complete the project :)
Congrats on the new boat!
+nevaslippn Thank you
Damn that boat is Sweet Capt Shane!!!
+Denis Sanchez Thanks Dennis
Mac builds a hell of a boat!
Mac passed about 6 months or so ago. R.I.P. But he made a heck of a boat! The new fella building them is Terry McKay.
Beautiful boat. I look forward to fishing in it.
Gonna be a blast!
Oh man, awesome boat Captain!
+itumblers Thank you
That is the sexiest deck I've ever seen on a bass boat. Hell, maybe on any boat. Hot damn. Sure as hell beats carpet.
I agree with you brother...no more carpet.
Such a sweet boat! Ever find yourself around the Harris Chain I would be honored to take ya out on the hunt for greenfish!
Thank you for the compliment on my sled and the very generous offer to catch bass on the chain. I am much obliged to you.
+Captain Shane 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Rock on!
Congrats on the new boat ! Kinda looks like the custom Bullet I saw that someone was selling . It had a 350hp on it and looked identical in colors to yours
+Bassmastersalad I saw that Bullet. It was so sick!
Awesome boat Captain Shane
Thank you David!
Love the boat. Awesome looking deck.
It is a fantastic rig. Thank you for saying
Nice boat. Nasty bow rise at takeoff though. Helluva rig man!
Ken Efting this was one of one of the very first times I drove the boat. It has trim tabs and comes out of the hole flat....now that I know how to use them lol
Congrats capt you just got yourself a fishing machine enjoy God Bless......
+Gini Alonso Thank you Gini
Love the boat buddy! I've been looking at them.

+Fishing Is Boomin I wish you the best in your guide business
Congrats captain Shane it looks bad ass
Thank you!
Congrats! Man you can take that thing to Biscayne bay and even calm days out in the ocean. I like how the bass boats are slowly taking on the styles of bay boats/skiffs. Even the "SeaDeck" cushions are becoming popular. Love it man! How many feet did you say was?
+Jonathan Arnold Jonathan I thank you for the kind words. It is 20-1". It can go in the bay for sure.
Really nice boat!!!Congrats!!
Thank you pardner.
Awesome boat captain,hopefully I might get to see it in person when I come over to America next year. I really want to go and smack some snakeheads on them beautiful canals of yours.quality film loved it.
Mad Mac give me a shout early to set up that trip. Looking forward to getting you on the water.

Nice boat Shane! 👍
+Carlos SPENCER Thanks Carlos!
Sweet rig congrats brother!
Thank you pardner
Nice boat Shane
Thank you Joshua
Man that is really awesome! I never understood why they put carpet on bass boats and not something like seadeck. Nice call. 👍🏻
Thanks John. I can see the day when all your major manufacturers will offer the sea deck. I am really pleased with the entire package
Congrats I know how hard you have to work at chartering to be able to get that fine looking rig. Next time this Cajun is that way will let you know Im coming Shane !! If you want to fish Venice La. get in touch with me n it's on. Have a great day and GOOD -LUCK 😎✌🏻️🇺🇸
Thank you Andy! Would love to hit up Venice sometime. I used to catch a chopper in Venice to go offshore to work on an oilrig.
Awsome boat,keep up the good work,keep the videos coming,
Thank you Melanie!
Congrats Shane very nice!!
+Southern Outdoors NC Thank you
Love the boat, but I didn't notice any rod straps on the bow? Did I miss them?
+olebiker I have to figure that out. I want to think about it before I start doing any drilling or cutting.
Saw you on Saturday at lake ida it's a nice boat
Thank you. Wave me down next time.
With a boat as tricked out as this one (n-i-c-e water craft!!!!), why no shallow water anchors (Power Pole or the like) at the stern? I love that floor covering!
Alex I run over 50 urban peacock trips a year. Way too many bridges to deal with PP. However there have been many trips in the swamp when I asked myself the same thing😉
Absolutely beautiful boat. I live in Naples, I will be contacting you for chartering!
I look forward to getting you on the water.
That's a sweet ride. I guess you can now tell the ladies your all deck.
Thank you and......For sure lol
I used to wade markham park 30 years ago with my dad. til it dried up in 83 or 84.. now that im old I can afford a good boat. what did it set you back?

+technineman1996 Looking forward to having you on board.
Shane have you even fished off the dock of markham and catch anything good? I'm literally 4 minutes away from there and wanna try it someday soon
I caught a big snakehead off one of the docks there.
+Captain Shane yah, I really wanna get a good snakehead as I haven't gotten one before, especially since they have been taking over more and more as of late, my buddy's canal behind his house only has snakeheads now
love that decking
Sick boat man congrats on it
+FL Bassin Thank you pardner!
what was the cost for the full step up if you don't mind me asking
Plan on using your services in the very near future
I look forward to hearing from you👊🏻
That dog will hunt!! Congrats!
All day....thanks brother!
Nice Boat!! Congratulations and many blessings!! Oh yeah, and a whole lot of fish. especially those 36 inch bass ;o)......GONEFISHIN!
Yeah I am ready if I get a 36"er for sure lol :) Thank you brother.
Sweet boat! Are the prices on those better than some of the bigger brands?
+Kyle Hinds Kyle they are better since you buy factory direct. No middle man=$$$ in your pocket.
Sweet boat man!
Thank you pardner
are you going to get power pulls, amazing boat!! congrats
Most likely I am not going to get power poles. The urban areas I have too many low bridges and pipes to go under and through. It was just be a nightmare for me.
bad ass video and boat!
Thank you pardner!
that's a great boat how much did it cost tho
Thanks James.
Hey captain, I have been subscribed for a very long time. I am wondering how much would it be for me and one of my friends to go out with you for snakeheads?
Roly I thank you for considering me for a trip. I would rather not take a snakehead charter at this time. The areas I can get my boat in have been decimated.
congrats she's a beauty!
+Paulpro PP Thanks Paul
The goose drank wine.
Nice looking boat

Sweet boat!!

Thank you Jerry.
Their wouldn't be a boat that nice and sexy in all of Australia......That's a Machine.....
Thank you Chris!
Awesome vid!
+ZYTHUM13 Thank you
hey Shane
do you have a website I can check out so I can come fish with you
www.captainshane.com give me a shout and let's get it done
nice boat. That crooked steering wheel would drive me nuts though!
I hear ya🤣 my buddy said I need to bleed some air out of line
Nice boat! Hows the SHO so far?
The SHO has been fantastic. It performs just as i thought it would.
Captain Shane I'm gonna be running a hewes 21 redfisher with a 200hp hpdi soon. That SHO sure would look sweet on my transom!
where are your power poles??
+Kerry Parks I can't use Power Poles. I want them but the urban areas I fish have some very low bridges. PP would just be a pain. I would probably tear them off at some point by hitting a bridge.
Lives in Florida but fishes fresh water for bass... If I lived in Florida you'd find me in the salt and the bass could rest easy.
Uh, it is a 36" ruler.🤔😁
how fast have you got her up to?
+Kerry Parks Not sure
how fast have you got on that beast????
71 solo. Loaded with 5 people and gear and full livewells 65 mpg
Jealousy is kicking in, right about now.
+Venomous villain I hear ya brother.
But I like my Stratos when it smells like a wet German Sheppard?! Great looking boat you've got my friend... you've earned it! I'll look forward to seeing you put it to good use! BTW, my old Stratos earned me a new personal best today, and I was lucky enough to get it on video!
+Bassin NW503 Congratulations on the PB! Thank you for the kind words.
I like his boat but wonder why he put the batteries up front?....anybody know?
Good question. This boat sits low in the rear and I wanted to have some weight forward. Moving 3 batteries worked out perfect for my fishing application and freed up some room under rear deck for my other gear.
A+++ Congrats
+grand marine Thank you
👍👍👍👍 awesome boat!!
+Ronnie Ferns Thanks Ronnie
How fast does she go
+Dylan Nelson I do not know. I will put my GPS on soon.
+Captain Shane ok she looks pretty quick
You are Blessed!!
Thank you pardner
I wouldve swore that hull was aluminum...nice rig man
Thank you brother!
Is the hull aluminum ?
No it is fiberglass
I been looking for aluminum that can handle 250
I hear ya pardner. Saw some Cajun boys with some custom aluminum rigs with bug power. Your probably going to need to look at some custom rigs.
I agree, im rough on things so aluminum is the way to go. My buddy down in Florida, Chad Hickcox, has seen your ride a few times. I need to make a trip down that way to see what its all about.
where in Florida do you live in cuz I live in Okeechobee
North Miami Beach
cool haev you ever fished in Lake Okeechobee
