I've been a "kayak angler" since 2018. It seemed like a natural thing to do since I've owned my own boats since 1985. Caught my first trout at age 3 way back in 1966 !
I didn't start fishing till late in life and now retired. I have a yak I take with my wife and I while we travel in the fith wheel. Really Really enjoy yak fishing. Great stuff guys. Thanks for doing these videos
Welcome to a world of kayaking. To help get in after you fall out in water have a rope with a loop and pvc pipe in the loop for a foot step come over the kayak top side and toy of to the handle the step will be on the other sid you are on place foot in the step and get in the kayak it will take some practice but it will help
Where's that OU hat???? LOL Bought my 1st kayak this spring, fell out the 1st time last Sunday. As Gene stated ALWAYS wear your PFD! Great video. GOD Bless
Mr. Evers, I want to start with saying how much I enjoy watch your tournaments with the MLF. Also, I learn alot every time I watch your youtube channel. The reason I messaged you is that this spring I am planning a trip up to Norman, OK with my 4 year old son. I want to do some fishing while we are up there and I am formally extending you and invitation to join us for fishing if your schedule allows. I am a veteran of the armed forces and I do not normally mention this but would very much enjoy getting the opportunity to wet a line with you this spring.
Love the new kayak,just got back kayaking with my daughter,my battery in my bass boat went bad so we went to kayaking.enjoyed the time with my daughter,she caught a large mouth bass and a rock bass. I didn’t catch anything but I have more fun watching my kids catch fish and seeing the smiles on their faces.love the new video and can’t wait to see what you have next,God Bless
Edwin great video. In my opinion people are putting too much on their kayaks. I feel it's nice to keep things simple maybe just a fish locator like a helix 5. Get yourself also a lighter weight paddle kayak too where you can just throw it in back of your pickup and go fishing with minimal tackle and rods on a smaller lake or area of water, it's a nice way relaxing style of fishing. Just make sure you have a comfortable seat.
If you take a rope with a loop with a pub pipe to place your foot in have it toyed of on the other side to help you get in . There is a guy that you can watch on you tube Calle kayak hacks it is a great tool
I fished out of a 2 man pirouge most of my life. What is the difference? Also the KBF is having their National Championship here in Shreveport this weekend E. Come check it out. If you like. I will take you fishing with me in my bass boat Monday on Caddo?
I bought me and my son both Old Town peddle kayaks 2 years ago and we love them. Can get on lakes with motor restrictions and low pressure. I carry tons of tackle and 6 rods with a pvc rod rack I built. Its comfortable for 8 hours of fishing, super quiet and when done I throw them in the back of the truck and go home. We enjoy them more than the Triton I used to have. No maintenance, no insurance and cheaper.
Gene is such a natural teacher!!!! Edwin it's good to see you and your son get into kayaking fishing. Great video with 2 of the most humble pro fisherman in the world. Good luck to Gene on AOY and Edwin on next season. God Bless
Great tips Gene! I love kayak fishing. I remove the chance to accidentally catch a rod sticking up behind me with my cast by keeping it simple. I just take one fishing rod with me and a spare baitcasting reel if I have a bad backlash. That way I never have to worry about my casting angles.
I would think using a heavy action rod fishing out of a kayak would cause me to lose more fish. The reason I say this is because the rod needs to stay loaded correct? If so then its alot easier to keep medium heavy rod loaded vs heavy in a kayak fishing situation in my opinion. Am I wrong? I find it hard to keep frog fish pinned when kayak fishing.....not fun.
Edwin you are gonna love kayak fishing!! I use to be a bass boat guy until I started kayak fishing tournaments it is amazing !!! FlukeMaster gave some great points. Cant wait to see it decked out Edwin Evers style!!! And catching bass
Kayaks have gotten nice but a lot of guys have more money tied up in then than my fiberglass bass boat is worth. Couldn't see see spending that kind of money to do what I was already doing less comfortably
Yep I've learned a lot from Gene over the years! And I have referred a number of people to his channel who are first-time Anglers. And some of them have even come back to me and said thank you for sending them to his channel.
Good info. I’ve had three kayaks and enjoyed fishing that way. One quick comment about the lower seat position, if for some reason you have to paddle a long ways (trolling motor goes out) you will find it’s easier in the lower position.
Awesome! - Congrats on being able to now fish from both extremes to the sport! However, they seemed to have delivered you the wrong brand.. Get yourself a Hobie PA14!
all this talk about flipping out of the yak. Gene fell out of his yak at Caddo practicing the championship this year lol probably a couple weeks after this video was filmed.
I fish out of a kayak alwAys. It’s become my favorite way to fish especially with a group of friends you can fish together and not be fighting for the front of the boat. You and your son should have a blast.
I've been watching Gene's channel for years. In fact the first video I ever watched on TH-cam was Flukemaster, how to fish a football jig. Now I always have one tied on.
Couldn’t agree more, like Gene said don’t put too many accessories at one time. Learn where you like something before you mount it permanently. Tulsa Kayak or OKC Kayak can probably help you with mounting electronics or whatever and they are great people!
Edwin, first- congratulations on making the leap to kayak bass fishing! Second, one thing that Gene did not touch on directly, but weight is your main enemy. It may or may not seem obvious, but it is easy to overlook until its time to load or unload it. My set up is probably pushing 160-175lbs and she is a beast on dry land, but get her in the water and I am a happy fish hunting man!
Really nice Kayak, one like that I might be able to handle. The smaller one's are too flimsy for me. I like my 14ft alum. boat plenty of room for everything.
This not Kayak this is JON BOAT they taking over cause you not have to BUY gas an oil..I dont see why you couldnt use TWIN TROLLER in kayak fishing its only 10 feet long this thing what 16 feet hahahahhahaha

Went from a Ranger boat to a kayak 21 years ago. FUN!!

Love seeing two of my favorite anglers/channels come together

Yo Gene !!!!!

Please do! I love seeing the pros fish out of a yak. It's more relatable to a lot of us.
Great tips Gene! I love kayak fishing. I remove the chance to accidentally catch a rod sticking up behind me with my cast by keeping it simple. I just take one fishing rod with me and a spare baitcasting reel if I have a bad backlash. That way I never have to worry about my casting angles.

Awesome 👌 Never seen one this big. What brand is it ?
Good job! 🎣
Very true fluke master has a great channel. I have learned a lot from both of you guys. Good luck with the kayak!!
What an awesome kayak!
I love fishing out of mine.
You and your boy are going to make memories!!!
What size BlackPak Yak Crate did you get? There are three different sizes. 16x16, 13x16, and 13x13
I pack too much tackle to fish on a kayak. It’s a problem I have
Hey edwin you used to fish tournaments with my dad
Edwin you are gonna love kayak fishing!! I use to be a bass boat guy until I started kayak fishing tournaments it is amazing !!! FlukeMaster gave some great points. Cant wait to see it decked out Edwin Evers style!!! And catching bass
Kayak fishing has gotten really big the last few years! Lots of cool options 🎣
was it me or did they have a hummingbird flying around them time stamp @ 17:50
Brand new subscriber here. Gene is the man and I'm new to kayak fishing and the Flukemaster has help me immensely with learning to fish from a yak
Kayaks have gotten nice but a lot of guys have more money tied up in then than my fiberglass bass boat is worth. Couldn't see see spending that kind of money to do what I was already doing less comfortably
I love mine except for having to lift it up on my Hyundai....
Yep I've learned a lot from Gene over the years! And I have referred a number of people to his channel who are first-time Anglers. And some of them have even come back to me and said thank you for sending them to his channel.
i know several places you could go with a kayak
So why isn't the OU hat on his head?
Good info. I’ve had three kayaks and enjoyed fishing that way. One quick comment about the lower seat position, if for some reason you have to paddle a long ways (trolling motor goes out) you will find it’s easier in the lower position.
Awesome! - Congrats on being able to now fish from both extremes to the sport! However, they seemed to have delivered you the wrong brand.. Get yourself a Hobie PA14!
Two great anglers and a great video! I can’t wait to see you fishing out of that bad boy. You’re going to love it!
Great info! Thank you both!
all this talk about flipping out of the yak. Gene fell out of his yak at Caddo practicing the championship this year lol probably a couple weeks after this video was filmed.
Two of my favorite guys
Just started kayak angling myself, absolutely love it!! I just need to start getting the bass fishing knowledge
biggest tip is looking for timber or any structure that fish can relate too. Then just practice using different lures in those spots
You just shred a TON of kayak juice! “Control all that is controllable” thanks for the video E!
How much does that weigh rigged out? Can you deploy it by yourself?
I fish out of a kayak alwAys. It’s become my favorite way to fish especially with a group of friends you can fish together and not be fighting for the front of the boat. You and your son should have a blast.
I've been watching Gene's channel for years. In fact the first video I ever watched on TH-cam was Flukemaster, how to fish a football jig. Now I always have one tied on.
What kind of kayak is that
Why is he still wearing that Georgia hat?!
Couldn’t agree more, like Gene said don’t put too many accessories at one time. Learn where you like something before you mount it permanently. Tulsa Kayak or OKC Kayak can probably help you with mounting electronics or whatever and they are great people!

This is pretty awesome!
Boomer Sooner!!! And welcome to the most fun fishing there is! It's a whole new world! OU over Ga- all day every day!!
any more if your not a rich man you can not bass fish . The cost is so high most people are left out anymore
First
Be a man don’t use a motor ! But for u pros go right a bead !
✨😇✨
Someone from your office telling me that I am the random winner of your kayak and I can't get info that secure that it is legit
This not Kayak this is JON BOAT they taking over cause you not have to BUY gas an oil..I dont see why you couldnt use TWIN TROLLER in kayak fishing its only 10 feet long this thing what 16 feet hahahahhahaha
Try not putting all that crap you have in your boat in a kayak and hone your fishing skills. Connect to the water and get back to basics.
