You got me on the I have never fallen out, I like you worry about saying stuff that will come back and bite me. It took you a minute to get back on topic and I can see we have a lot more in common other than fishing. Thanks for sharing this video with us and I hope you have a blessed weekend, Dale
outstanding.. I am looking to buy a kayak...probably, PA14... you gave some great info... and I like the capsize drills.. I have been wondering about that, and yours is the first video that covered it.. HUGE THANKS!!!!
Had a pa14 on yakima barebone roof rack. It does work. It's held up well for 3 years but car topping is ridiculous hard even for someone who is extremely fit.
Hi Troy, pedal drive kayaks aren’t good for rivers. Especially the rivers in the Pacific Northwest. They are very gradient. Slow and deep rivers could be fished with it though. As long as there isn’t much current. Usually on rivers i use a drift boat, raft, or pontoon boat. If you have the ability to transport a PA, go with the PA
I fly fish from a conventional paddle kayak (Jackson Mayfly). I've always been concerned about the fly line being tangled up in the peddle drive. Is that a problem with the peddle-style kayaks like the PA 14?

Thanks for the review, I just bought a Pro Angler 12 and will now buy a jet ski trailer for it. 👍
That’s a great plan!

Hopefully you’re tall too!! I just imagine all 160lbs of me getting crushed to death! Haha
@@Gigharborflyshop there was a couple mishaps. I knocked off the side mirror once 😂
No way! Well hopefully you caught a ton of fish that day so it didn't hurt too bad!
Do you ever fish this thing in rivers? I’m very torn right now between a PA and the hobie lynx

It's occasionally a problem. But the benefit of having a pedal drive kayak over a paddle is a enormous
Hey dude, was thinking about the 14 180 drive for back bay and flats in Florida. Good choice? Or outback?
Oh man. You’re talking about something I’ve dreamed about! That’s such a cool area and fishing it from a PA14 would be SWEET!!

Is the is the Pro Angler 12 a safe kayak?
Totally. Where do you plan on using it though?
I think I’ll stick to a Tiderunner with an outboard and a kicker😅
you're too young to be that lazy! lol
