That's awesome Brother love your boat and set up Brother thanks for sharing it with us! I know you hear this lot, but hope this Baptist preacher gets to go fishing with you and Andy sometime. I love you guys, and yall are a great inspiration and blessing in the fishing sport and industry! GOD BLESS YOU all and may you have a blessed year! Eph. 3:20, Luke 1:37
you're always a pure joy to listen to. No surprise you know every inch and how everything works even if others may have helped set it up. I'm on my second ranger Z520 and could not be happier with it. But your Nitro sure is set up nice.
What an awesome rig! You are so blessed! Looking forward to seeing fishing videos from your new boat. Thanks for all the time you put into trying to help us little guys catch more fish.
That’s my dream boat setup Mr Ott you are my favorite I love watching you fish and I love the person you are and what you stand for good luck this year ole buddy I will be cheering you on like every other year.
Being able to push a button and adjust your motor to a certain setting is pretty neat and high tech to me. Had no clue that was even a thing but will say I can imagine it makes life very convenient on the run
Awww, man! I'm soooo jealous! A tornado ate my boat in December and insurance won't cover it. I'm just teasing about the jealous part...that's an awesome rig man! Congrats...you deserve it! ✊
Yup had a Vexus and upgraded to the 2023 Nitro Z21xl and it has been an awesome fishing platform! The boats performance is unreal! Handling, speed and comfort is just crazy!
Ott, great looking boat and rigged the way you like it. Just wanted to let you know I’m looking forward to watching you on live stream on the FLW tour. Praying you have a great year and a safe one. 🙏🎣🦃
Very nice - this is one of the first pro setups that I've seen with the Live pole added. I'm curious to see how much you use that setup vs. the one on the trolling motor shaft. Excited to see it in action!
Very good video. Nice looking rig. I know you have run several Nitro boats. I have watched several of your videos. I hope Johnny Morris takes good care of you. Did KVD help you design your garage? It is beautiful.
Nice rig man. One of us is confused about the location of your GPS antennas. I don't think the location is where the transducer is at. The location is where the antennae is located.
How many volts are you seeing on your graphs with that Power Pros 12v 215ah battery? I run Solix and with my 12 agm in parallel setup I see 12.6 on the battery, 12.55 at the fuse box and 12.5 on the graphs but am under 12 after 4 hours. Debating between this battery and the 16v Powerhouse Lithium but am afraid I will have the same voltage seeing that is is still a 12V battery. Solix are temperamental at low voltage.
Bro you can take the hinge off and put a piece of flat nylon strap and fold it in half and screw it in in place of the hinge and it will do the same thing . I’m no genius just an average guy
It could for sure. I’m still learning with it. My thought is if I’m fishing with it I won’t be side casting much. It’s easy to take off so if I’m target fishing it comes off in a minute.
@OttDeFoeFishing true, either way that boat is looking sharp, I can't wait to see it launch in a few weeks, this boat will be in aoy contention no doubt, let's go
How is the power consumption on the apex? I am running 2 15 solix and 1 12 solix with live / tg lock and 360. I can’t stay in the 12v range for more then 3 hours. C clear power harness, dedicated run for live. 2 group 31 interstates in parallel.
@@OttDeFoeFishing thanks so much for the reply. Did you see a big difference when you went to the lithium vs AGM? Is it more stable voltage? Are you running dedicated power to each unit, sonar pros or Sea Clear harness, cutting down power cables to units?
@@OttDeFoeFishing also are you networking with an either net box or just linking two of your units together with an Ethernet cable. Essentially leaving one unit for Mega Live or only?
They are on dedicated power. My live and 360 share a power too. Nitro rigs it with their own harness. It’s similar to those you mentioned. I do not have an Ethernet box. With the dual ports on the apex I can link them and plug in the accessories.
I agree what a shit show. This crap has made me consider my ranger and just quit fishing. Hell might as well get a fishing trawler be just as affordable

Great walk around!!!! Right on with that new Minn Kota TM!!!!!
Awesome start to the 2024 season can't wait to see more. Thank you Ott.

Very well rigged boat Ott and hope you get to use all of that awesome equipment to win a lot this year!
Yup had a Vexus and upgraded to the 2023 Nitro Z21xl and it has been an awesome fishing platform! The boats performance is unreal! Handling, speed and comfort is just crazy!
Love watching your videos and love learning from you. Your videos has helped improve my fishing experience.
love watching like the way you outfit your boats
Very nice Ott! Thanks for sharing!

Happy new year
Man what a boat!!!

They are good to me. No he didn’t. Should have asked him to though!
Great set up m Awesome rig .

2024 and still carpet in boats
Yeah. I love hydro Turf in my tracker.
Own an ‘01 Nitro. It’s been a great boat, but I wish Tracker would produce the Legend boat since they bought them.
Shopping now for a boat, gonna go with IKON, but agree if LEGEND was around absolutely beautiful boats.
Thanks for the walk thru
Quick question why are you choose if not to run target loch for ur mega live?
Do you fish bare footed for a particular reason or is it just personal preference?
Just preference.
How many volts are you seeing on your graphs with that Power Pros 12v 215ah battery? I run Solix and with my 12 agm in parallel setup I see 12.6 on the battery, 12.55 at the fuse box and 12.5 on the graphs but am under 12 after 4 hours. Debating between this battery and the 16v Powerhouse Lithium but am afraid I will have the same voltage seeing that is is still a 12V battery. Solix are temperamental at low voltage.
We would like to see more videos on the Norris lake
I don’t like all
The electronics at all I know it’s the thing nowadays but we need. To get back to simpler fishing in my opinion
No I’m deed..The electronics makes fishing way more exciting.
How?
@@winstonrocco1981 Leads you directly to the fish. Makes thing easier.
I hear ya. I’m on board for a map and 2D only event but for now this is what it is!
Nice rig and setup!! Why not use the target lock vs the pole?
I like the simplicity of it and I can remove it easier.
@@OttDeFoeFishing Simple enough...lol
Bro you can take the hinge off and put a piece of flat nylon strap and fold it in half and screw it in in place of the hinge and it will do the same thing . I’m no genius just an average guy
Yeah that would work too. I never had any issue like this last year.
A live pole up front, that won't get in the way?? I'm really interested in seeing that boat on the water
It could for sure. I’m still learning with it. My thought is if I’m fishing with it I won’t be side casting much. It’s easy to take off so if I’m target fishing it comes off in a minute.
@OttDeFoeFishing true, either way that boat is looking sharp, I can't wait to see it launch in a few weeks, this boat will be in aoy contention no doubt, let's go
Can we get a link for the line spooling stations you got?

Here you go!

I don’t have any issues with it and never put them in standby. I am running a 215 amp hour lithium pros cranking battery. It’s a beast!
@@OttDeFoeFishing thanks so much for the reply. Did you see a big difference when you went to the lithium vs AGM? Is it more stable voltage? Are you running dedicated power to each unit, sonar pros or Sea Clear harness, cutting down power cables to units?

@@OttDeFoeFishing thank you so much. I really appreciate all of your feedback.
I dont think you have enough electronics and stuff up front. (ridiculous) Hopefully that heavy sled will get up on plane
All the weight on the nose makes it plane off quicker 😂
Auwsome rig when are u going to get back to professional fishing?
End of the month!
@@OttDeFoeFishing so you are going back to the elite series
No. BPT starts January 30th on Toledo Bend.
@@OttDeFoeFishing good luck buddy
Why not a live foot mega live
I tried it but just not comfortable with it yet. It’s also heavy on the trolling motor.
What has changed from the 2023’s?
Very little.
@@OttDeFoeFishing I have a 23’ and I couldn’t see anything different from the video. Thanks
Amen ! #gogetem2024
👍 wow 👇
Bass Cat>Nitro
😂😂😂😂😂 yall have turned fishing into a absolute joke! This is a circus of who has more money.
I agree what a shit show.
This crap has made me consider my ranger and just quit fishing. Hell might as well get a fishing trawler be just as affordable
Not sure how I’m to blame for this. I’m just trying to do my job.
Don't let it worry you brother, good luck and God bless this year.@@OttDeFoeFishing
