Great options man! Love the affordable spin because these things can get EXPENSIVE. Of all the ones on the list, I’m really digging the Ascend 133x. The open cockpit and pre wiring makes it really attractive for the price. Great job 👏🏽

@@Dobyifyable I hate to break it to ya but your options will be limited. I can do some searching and find a list of them for around $500 and put them together if your interested.
Great video man! I really enjoyed this video and I liked how you added videos and pictures of the kayaks while you were talking about them! I love my FeelFree Lure kayak
Thanks for stopping and watching! It took me a lot of time to narrow the list down to 5 but I feel like these are all great boats for the big dudes. Take care bro!
Wow that’s amazing, I paid 1800 $ for my big,fish 103 it’s perfect for me 5’9” 180 lbs. I broke my first kayak in first 2 months,but I got lucky took it back and they were kind enough to give me all my money back.✌️💙😄
I'm a large human, horizontally speaking , at the moment I'm hovering around 280 (shut up I'm working on it) and I'm 5' 10''. I just picked up the Pelican catch pwr 100 yesterday...Max capacity is 415 so 280 + battery which is around 60 that's 340 so that puts it at 75 pounds below the weight limit, now add gear, anker and motor after everything I'm thinking it will be closer to around 40-50 pounds away from the weight limit...That's cutting it a lot closer than I would normally be comfortable with. I'm going to have the seat slide pretty much all the way back so hopefully that will help with the weight displacement. I just switched from a pond prowler 8' to the catch pwr 100 because the pond prowlers are all defective and will get water in them with no way to drain it out (which I knew that before spending $650 on it last year). This is my first Kayak and tomorrow will be the test run...wish me luck boys
Excellent video, buddy. I’m glad you included the CATCH PWR because the more I read about it the more I want it. I understand the downsides that come with it as far as positioning, but I’m borderline dead today from all the paddling I did yesterday while watching another buddy who had the CATCH PWR fly all over the lake. Great list for the other four as well. The stability on that Ascend is INSANE!!!
Thanks for watching! Consider the extra costs for the PWR 100. I’d recommend a 100am lithium battery. Plus a motor decent motor so your looking at another $500.
As opposed to a pedal driven which with minimal effort can get you around the lake pretty fast and efficiently without the need of a battery and motor.
I had the 3 waters big fish 108 as my 1st own kayak. I had to sale it, and get a old town 106 pdl, because the big fish was to heavy to Jeep top for me... Man but that big fish108 is a beast of a kayak 💯. Awesome job on the video, and opinions you put together brother 🤝🏼.
That was one of my favorite yaks bro. I still miss it! It would be best to trailer it BUT I did fight it into the truck bed when I had it. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment as always my guy!🤘🏼
Thanks a lot Rich! I put a lot of time and research into this one. Really hoping it helps some people out there. The kayak game is growing and is red hot right now and for the foreseeable future I feel.
You won’t ever need another one. If I upgrade to the new dorado next year I’ll be sure to let you know about my current one first. Appreciate you watching bro!🤘🏼
I don’t know that answer. BUT I’d recommend calling 3 waters or Feel free and they should get you an answer really quick. Thanks a lot for stopping and watching!
My issue is with peddle drives in my belly gets in the way, I went with the Perception 11.5 which was recommended to me for being a short round guy lol. Only issue I find is reaching behind me to get tackle or a new rod. Maybe down the road if I decide to upgrade and loose some more weight, I may look into one of your recommendations for sure. Great video.
Thanks for stopping and watching! I have a similar problem…not a big gut but I’m 6’3” tall and it’s hard to move around in these kayaks without jeopardizing safety and stability. I’d definitely consider the Big Fish 108 to almost anyone and everyone. It’s the perfect kayak for comfort and stability. I’m currently in the Dorado which is really nice but not as stable as the big fish 108.
I have a paddle driven Feelfree Moken. I would love to get a pedal drive kayak. But the issue I have is the amount of cypress stumps we have on the lake i primarily fish. I have lost count of the times I’ve ran over stumps while paddling. Would hate to damage the drive.
That makes a good point. The drives are very durable though. The props are strong and the sheer pins do their job to keep from damaging the prop or drive. I’ve slammed into some things pretty hard
@@TheOutdoorConquestthank you for your feedback. I know that Old Town PDL is pretty durable from I’ve read. I would like to get the Feelfree 13.5 pedal drive or the Big fish with the pedal drive.
I need this video. I’m 6’3, 265lbs and wanted to get a kayak that will fit me just right. I want to start fishing kayak tournaments and hittin St. Clair and some of our other lakes here in southeast Michigan.
Thanks for watching bro! I’m telling you go with the 3 Waters Big Fish 108 YOU WILL NOT BE LET DOWN. Hope to see you out there man! Have a great weekend!
To all my big brethren out there, I’ve had both the big fish 108 and now the Nucanoe Unlimited. Spend the extra money and get the unlimited, you won’t be disappointed. I’m 300+ and can stand up in it without even thinking about it.
You can easily add one if you would like. But as an angler with a gut, I found not only peddling while trying to fish not fun but my height along with the angle the big fish puts you at makes peddling well, suck.
I’m thinking our definition of budget might not be the same. When I think budget, I’m looking at ones under $500. I do appreciate the video though. It gave me ideas for future upgrades if I end up liking fishing off a kayak.
Thanks a lot for watching! I made his specifically for fishing style kayaks with drive systems. There is a lot of options out there much more affordable thank these. I also did a video on kayaks for $1000 and less if you wanna check that list out!
Good options! I am in a unique situation. I have hobie PA 14. But now have a bulging disc so trying to be careful with lifting (putting yak on suv) and hauling to launch site. Right now i trailer it. I am looking for something light enough for putting on suv but comfortable for tall guys like myself (6'4"). Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful. Ive seen some pescador 12 pro's with seat height mod but not sure how that affects stability or if it makes it too top heavy. Thanks
Why do you want out of the PA 14?? In my opinion trailering is the best option if you have the tow vehicle (which it seems like you do). I’d personally skip the car topping if your back is jacked….
I think I’m going to do an updated version of this one come springtime. Thanks a lot for stopping, watching and leaving the comment I truly appreciate it!🤘🏼
I love my big,fish pedal drive it’s a tank I’ve only had one time where I was scared.they’re was a hurricane coming so they let all the water out of the Everglades and that was all the way out towards the ocean and when I came back, there’s a bridge where it Narrows and the current was so strong. It spun me in a loop and then I seen a boat coming through there I warned him and he almost went in the trees and he had to gun his 200 Yamaha or he would’ve, been in the branches. Had to ask somebody to help me they literally had to their boat to get through that channel with me. In tow thanks for sharing & letting me share with you’ll all tight,lines ✌️💙😄
I’ve personally fished out of it and it’s a great kayak also. It’s the “little brother” to the 108. The 108 is much deeper and taller that’s why I chose this one for the list. Either would be a great option but I will always recommend the 108 first. Thanks for watching!
Another one for list Seastream Angler 120 PD 12’ 3” long 35” wide 400 lbs $1299. Same parent company as the Big Fish. To heavy for my tastes but a lot of good reviews on TH-cam. Different subject any thoughts on fin drive vs prop drive?
My buddy Darius fishes off that boat I believe and he really likes it. He’s not a big dude but I feel it could handle on no problem. I know people really like fin drives I’ve personally never fished with one I’ve only done propeller. I like the ability to be able to pedal backwards or forward instantaneously. I know they’re advancing the fin drives to be capable of this also but I’m not that keen on them. One advantage would be going into shallow weedy cover but I rarely find myself there and if I do I just life my pedal drive and paddle. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I’m not familiar with those. 84lb kayak and carrying 700 lbs seems offset to me. An 84lb yak should normally fall in that 400-500lb limit range from all my research. This is interesting. Thanks for watching
Brother, I loved the video but I wish you would have included the 41 inch wide super stable NuCanoe Frontier 12. I don't know why everyone overlooks this made in USA kayak.

For a normal everyday kayak yes. A kayak designed for the avid angler can get rather expensive up to and above $6,000.
