Thanks Eddie!! It's heavy but I'm very happy with it and how easy it is to fish from it. I'm thinking it needs some time on your favorite spillway creek.
Bass Pro will run specials and different packages on the kayak periodically, so check their advertisements. In their catalog they have an ultimate fishing kayak package that is around $2500 before tax. I saw different unique packages offered in their individual stores as well. This may mean they would work with you in putting together a package for your specific needs. Buying a package lowers the price of the individual items. I bought a package in March 2022 that was advertised for $2250 including sales tax. The package was the kayak, trolling motor, trolling motor mounting plate, and a 250-centimeter paddle. Since the kayak is motorized, you'll need TPWD registration and that was $59. Bass Pro/Cabela's will facilitate the registration if you want. You could also buy an extra transducer for your humminbird fish finder for the kayak and just move the display unit between your boat and kayak if you want that capability on the kayak.
I just fished a private lake for some bass on my YakAngling tube channel. I'm in Minnesota and we don't grow the Bass as big as Texas but they are still fun whether by ice or out in the Kayak. great Video!!
Thanks for watching! I'll check out your video. On the plus side, you have much better access to smallmouth bass. I have to drive a good distance to find smallmouth. Either way, being on some water, somewhere is a good thing.
That Kayak sure does have alot of space! One thing I would recommend is some Landing Gear to make it easy to move into and out of the water I believe Boonedox makes some for all kind of kayaks Great video!
Thanks for the suggestion. I do have a cart that I use but my vehicle was really close to the takeout point so I didn't use it. I like the landing gear idea and will have to research to see if one is made to handle the width of this kayak. It's pretty big. Bass Pro offers a cart that utilizes the scupper holes but I'm reluctant to use it for fear of creating a leak.
You’re correct, it’s different playing fish much closer to the water’s surface. I’ll get it down eventually but for now, I’m missing a few here and there. On the plus side, I’m able to fish bodies of water that I can’t access with my bass boat.
Great stuff Mr Matt that's the exact kayak I am planning to buy I love how much space it has. Can't wait to see more videos off of it.

@@FishingTexan it would be perfect out there. If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost for the yak and trolling motor?

That's got to be a bit of an adjustment, going from the big bass boat to sitting on the water.

Love those small lakes, looked fun!
Did you get rid of the bass cat?
No I still have the bass cat. Just wanted something for Brazos river fishing and smaller bodies of water that I can’t fish from the bass cat.
