It's great to see that a friend will be using the boat. I feel fortunate to have actually fished out of the Mud Duck. I've had great moments in that boat, but I have to say the most exciting one was when those GIANT Red Snapper showed up and we dropped some free lines down. Those screaming drag moments will live in my memory forever.
Loved the old mud duck! One of the greatest pleasures of owning an older boat is not caring about every bit of mud, and dirt and blood, and slime. Not caring about little scratches or water lines. And the cleanup is always a breeze... i also moved up my boat game last year and now i am a lot more cautious about how i treat her. Long live the mud duck!! Congrats Mike
That boat doesn't owe you anything bro! It has had lot and lots fish caught on her. So will the new rig! I love that new rig, fishes great and is setup perfect for you. Awesome video buddy!!
The Mud Duck taught us all a lesson. That you don’t have to be in a $100,000 boat to catch fish and enjoy living on the Florida east coast. SaltyKayak taught us that lesson also. You can wait years and years saving money for that perfect boat, and while you are dreaming about fishing, your neighbor down the street is fishing in his beat up, wooden hull, off brand boat with a 20 year old noisy, smoking, two stroke outboard. He has a freezer full of shrimp and snapper filets and you’re buying overpriced fish at Publix.
I could not have said it better myself! You are SOOOOOO right. It was refreshing seeing a boat that was not “perfect” per say, and seeing the fish mixed in with the soda bottles. That is real fishing.
Man, that is bitter sweet. Even though it didn't run like you wanted it to, it still a special boat! I use to live with the legendary Ellis McDaniel Aka Bo Diddley and he bought two aluminum boats. I still have one that i don't use it needs a new bottom, but i still can fish out of it. I just can't get rid of it because of who bought it for me.
Brad was so happy man, mixed imotions , happiness sadness memories and a proud moment that the Mud Duck got you so far, my favourite vid with the Mud Duck was when l discovered your channel, you and Amber catching Black Drum near a bridge, when the Manity came up behind the boat, maybe 2 years ago, take care and tight lines brother 🎣 🐟 🇦🇺
you made alot of good memories in the mud duck mike and so many more inyour new boat cant wait to follow you making new memories god bless you and yours tight lines
Glad the Mud Duck is going to a good owner. My favorite videos are of you and your family fishing together, having fun, together! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
.like your new boat loved Summer fishing and netting fish for you watching her grow up on the mud duck but hopefully get to see her on the new one she is quiet a little fisher woman for sure 😀
Was all happy when ya refitted and painted the Duck and Watch the kids grow up on her! Know How ya feel Letting a boat go that brought you so many memories! Should name your New one The Pelican! Tight Lines Bro
I joined this channel with all the action on that boat, saw many fish and went on many fishing trips, saw a family have fun together, kids grew up, shrimp slain and much more. Parting is such sweet sorrow but change is good. Its growth in a positive direction and proves hard work and persistence pays off. We must always strive for betterment and not be afraid to let go of the past and sentimental things..Good times were had by all, now, better times are coming. Cheers and here's to the future of your channel and safety of your family.
I haven't posted for long time because I watch you on the TV (TH-cam channel) now most of the time. I have really enjoyed watching the evolution of your channel from almost no subscribers to where you are today. Needed to do a post because of the boat transition. I guess my favorite Mud Duck times were when Summer was starting to become a fishin gal and she had such great dedication. Improved even more when Amber joined you more in the boat. I feel like I been along for most of the ride and growth of the channel. Cheers Mike!
My favorite was y’all Free lining for those huge Snappers and the Tiger shark swimming around all while Summer was still throwing chum hahaha. They ole girl did her job. Great video brother.
So sad, I'd of swapped the 4 stroke Yamaha to the new boat, put the 2 stroke on Mud Duck then sold it, just my take on it, love the channel brother, fish on...!!!
Love your videos love your new boat been into motors for a long long time you need to cut that idle down because that grinding is going to destroy your clutch most of the time it's because the mercs are idling too fast
Great video, my condolences on your loss. As my wife and I are only two years into watching your videos, I can’t say I have a special memory of the boat. I do have a question though, why is it called the mud duck?
Hi Mike! Not had so much time to watch the USA channels recently, have been concentrating on stuff more local to me. Seems like a win-win right down the line. Nice new boat, Old one's gone to a good home, and the fact you have sold it releases some cash towards new adventures! Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Well it is good to pass on a tradition that someone is going to take care off. Best video when the Misses and Summer were catching all the fish. Do what is the name of the new boat? Tight lines Mike. Tight lines. .
Sad to see her go,but you kept it in the family so it ain’t all bad,one of my best moments was watching you and the wife catch black drum near a bridge,and the conversation you were having with the people on the bridge who were catching them with you.keep grinding bro,world need more people like you
The end of a great era with a boat is a opening to a better start for a new one:) Its so weird that feeling you get when you sell something you have owned a long time like a mini death in the family or some shit !
Favorite moment Summer tell you “ not to miss with the gaff like last time” 😂. You sold your boat to a guy driving a white van. Did he offer you candy? Lol Good luck with the new boat.
I have watched you from the start , watching Summer grow up in the mud duck , driving it , I taught my son and daughter how to drive a car and boat , and 2 of my granddaughters
Do you think the crabs are overfished by commercial for bait/eating? I know in north Voluisa that’s all you see is crab pots…. Great videos and sweet new ride dude…..
Hi Mike, It's a sad day when your boat leaves ya. I don't know what to say, "the mud duck is gone, the vacuum in the corner at the dinner table is gone" (not the same anymore). I'm just going to have to spend the rest of the day going grouper fishing with 3 of my favorite bikini clad girlfriends and a cooler of beer.
I liked the layout of it with a large casting deck out front. I'm soon looking to get something similar at a reasonable price. Any suggestions under $15 k
Did not know that. Never heard of it actually to be honest. Thanks for the quick response and the awesome videos my friend and the great videos. I learn something new every time I watch them. Keep up the great work Mike.
I would have to say when you finally got to keep some snappers and landed studs. Was that 2019? I knew as soon as you said he's been on the channel that it was Brad buying it. Its sad but I wouldn't be as sad that it's going to someone you know.
Yeah. It's a sad day but the memories you made fishing with your family can never be taken away. Pretty sure you got a smile on your face thinking about all the good things that are yet to come
WHAT THE HELL MIKE, WHO THE HELL IS THIS BRAD DUDE That Stole the Mudduck? WHAT WAS YOU THINKIN IF AT ALL??? Just messing with you, Brad's a good dude from what we've seen of him on you channel and I'm sure he'll enjoy the mudduck, were looking forward to seeing you with Summer and/or Amber and Brad out on the mudduck like the old days, and y'all on the new "P-KingDuck" making video's,,, Oh what did you name the new duck? I suggested "Tight Lines" let us know what you decided on,,, TLJR's

We sure did have some great times in it brother.. the day you caught that monster redfish is still one of my all time favorite memories
@@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED Thanks for the pin bro!

Thank you brother
My favorite video in the mud duck would be all of them with your ladies fishing with you. Good luck with the new boat brother
Thank you man
I liked the way the Motor set up in the Boat on the Mud Duck . Well you caught a lot of Fish and Crabs from that boat .
NO not the Mud Duck! Classic boat. Saw you on the water the first time in that old boat.
That boat doesn't owe you anything bro! It has had lot and lots fish caught on her. So will the new rig! I love that new rig, fishes great and is setup perfect for you. Awesome video buddy!!

Damn you said a mouthful there Gary. Ain’t that the truth 100%.
Sad to see it go but more fun to come on the new boat!
A lot of great videos and adventures on that boat. I like that you sold it to a friend.
Great video as always & definitely know how U feel old boat I remember wasn't long ago U redid the top of the boat turned out nice
Thank you
Man, that is bitter sweet. Even though it didn't run like you wanted it to, it still a special boat! I use to live with the legendary Ellis McDaniel Aka Bo Diddley and he bought two aluminum boats.

I don't I would sell it either

😎 Brothers of the hook as Salty kayak would say, u kno u come get the boat anytime... I Really appreciate the boat 🤙🏻
Dude..I'm glad it's with you brother
Good to know it'll still be around! The new boat looks great though...making new memories.
That boat along with other things is what brought me to your channel. The family time you spend with your wife and daughter made me get a boat.
That's awesome
😢😢😢….. all good things come to an end. Bright future 👍👏👏👏
Please do a video on your new boat & motor Looks like a great rig! GOD BLESS, Lloyd.
It's out already brother..did a video a month or so ago
I have had my boat 26 years. I don't think I could get rid of it now, soon to be 68 years old.
That Yamaha 4-stroke had solid lifters and was actually quite noisy at speed. The Merc 2 stroke is a solid engine would have no regrets owning it.
Was all happy when ya refitted and painted the Duck and Watch the kids grow up on her! Know How ya feel Letting a boat go that brought you so many memories! Should name your New one The Pelican! Tight Lines Bro
New one is the MANG TIME.. thank you bro
Hi Mike I have enjoyed all of your videos. I missed what your new boat is.
I enjoyed the videos when you cleaned up and recoated the deck of the mud duck, that was really cool to see the transformation.
I joined this channel with all the action on that boat, saw many fish and went on many fishing trips, saw a family have fun together, kids grew up, shrimp slain and much more.
Parting is such sweet sorrow but change is good. Its growth in a positive direction and proves hard work and persistence pays off.
We must always strive for betterment and not be afraid to let go of the past and sentimental things..Good times were had by all, now, better times are coming.
Cheers and here's to the future of your channel and safety of your family.
Thank you very much brother
The paint job was my favorite part. Ive been a sub since you had 300 subs
Awesome man. Thank you for sticking with us brother
The refurbished deck videos were my favorite......I would always think to myself "that deck needs to be redone".....
I purchased Beyond braid a month ago and very pleased with it so far.
Great stuff
I enjoyed the sheepshead fishing
Thank you

That is one of my favorites as well bro
Got a lot of catching up to do on the new boat Mike. Lot of memories on the Mud Duck.
So sad, I'd of swapped the 4 stroke Yamaha to the new boat, put the 2 stroke on Mud Duck then sold it, just my take on it, love the channel brother, fish on...!!!
Good for you man keep on kicking ass I've been getting my fishing video fix from your channel for a long time 👍🏻
Thank you brother
Love your videos love your new boat been into motors for a long long time you need to cut that idle down because that grinding is going to destroy your clutch most of the time it's because the mercs are idling too fast
watched you all catch a lot of big fish in the mud duck
We sure did..she will be missed
Great video, my condolences on your loss. As my wife and I are only two years into watching your videos, I can’t say I have a special memory of the boat. I do have a question though, why is it called the mud duck?
Because it was always dirty.. no matter how hard I tried to keep it clean it always looked dirty and run down.. like an old mud duck
Mike D and Amber, keeping it real with the best fishing videos out there. Merry Christmas to you both from landlocked Arizona!!
Thank you very much Frank..Merry Christmas to you as well
Mike, I really want to see the new boat!! Only you know when its time for a change bro!!
Got a bunch of videos out already in the new boat
Watching your children grow with your video empire. You are a true professional.
Thank you bro
Hi Mike! Not had so much time to watch the USA channels recently, have been concentrating on stuff more local to me. Seems like a win-win right down the line. Nice new boat, Old one's gone to a good home, and the fact you have sold it releases some cash towards new adventures! Stay safe & well. 👍👍
The video of you and your friend catching PB bull reds on whole blue crabs was definitely one of the best on the Mud Duck.
Oh yeah that fish is now on my wall..
I liked when you painted it
Merry Christmas Mike D and family. Great fishing show. Keep it up.
Well it is good to pass on a tradition that someone is going to take care off. Best video when the Misses and Summer were catching all the fish. Do what is the name of the new boat? Tight lines Mike. Tight lines.
.
New boat is the MANG TIME
@@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED filler- up with Mangos.
We used to say- the two happiest days in a boat owners life: when he buys it and when he sells it. But it is different with you
Sad to see her go,but you kept it in the family so it ain’t all bad,one of my best moments was watching you and the wife catch black drum near a bridge,and the conversation you were having with the people on the bridge who were catching them with you.keep grinding bro,world need more people like you
Thank you very much bro..that was definitely a great moment
@@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED you’re blessed bro,God has given you a lot of great moments
I enjoyed the crabbing and shrimping videos on the old Mud Duck. My favorite has to be the shark trips y'all took on her though.
Awesome thank you sharing your favorite moments..she was a shark catching machine
Damn Mike D your boat looks like the deadliest catch boats🤣😂🤣🙂🤘
good by to the mud duck, we had a lot of good times with you and family
The end of a great era with a boat is a opening to a better start for a new one:)
Its so weird that feeling you get when you sell something you have owned a long time like a mini death in the family or some shit !
Truth
Favorite moment Summer tell you “ not to miss with the gaff like last time” 😂. You sold your boat to a guy driving a white van. Did he offer you candy? Lol Good luck with the new boat.
Lol
Moving on to better things is always good. I must have missed it, what did you end up buying?
Come say hi if you see me out there in the old green shamrock trying get my buddies come this side cuz it closer then st Pete
Dude! Damn scared! Thought JRF was gone. Glad the Duck went to a good home.
Lol...I didn't mean to do that buddy
I have watched you from the start , watching Summer grow up in the mud duck , driving it , I taught my son and daughter how to drive a car and boat , and 2 of my granddaughters
Thank you brother..
Mike, the “Mud Duck” sure earned her place in u-Tube history. I personally enjoyed every fishing video she provided.
Thank you man..she definitely earned her keep
Congrats! 💪💪🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
All the times you said, "WATCH THE TRIM TABS!"
Lol..no trim tabs on the new boat
Isn't your idle too high? The grinding when changine gears can't be good.
Well, he will benefit from all that work you did last year!
Miss Summer has grown up on the Mud Duck.
Yes she sure has
You taking the mud duck off shore for miles !! I thought you had to have a much bigger boat to do that !!! Hahaha
Thank you man
Do you think the crabs are overfished by commercial for bait/eating? I know in north Voluisa that’s all you see is crab pots…. Great videos and sweet new ride dude…..
You should of kept the Yamaha motor for your new boat !
Hi Mike, It's a sad day when your boat leaves ya. I don't know what to say, "the mud duck is gone, the vacuum in the corner at the dinner table is gone" (not the same anymore). I'm just going to have to spend the rest of the day going grouper fishing with 3 of my favorite bikini clad girlfriends and a cooler of beer.
Lol...awesome
What was the make and model of the Mud Duck?
1977 renkin 19ft
I liked the layout of it with a large casting deck out front. I'm soon looking to get something similar at a reasonable price. Any suggestions under $15 k
What causes a super high tide like that after a storm like you had?
It's called a king tide
Did not know that. Never heard of it actually to be honest. Thanks for the quick response and the awesome videos my friend and the great videos. I learn something new every time I watch them. Keep up the great work Mike.
@@tommyanderson9446 thank you
Tell him to watch those trim tabs!!!
Lol
Remember watching little summer winding in them fish when she could barely see over the side.
We have a lot of memories with her in that boat don't we.
I would have to say when you finally got to keep some snappers and landed studs. Was that 2019? I knew as soon as you said he's been on the channel that it was Brad buying it. Its sad but I wouldn't be as sad that it's going to someone you know.
Yes it was 2019 I believe..thank you bro
Now why did I know you sold the boat before you said it.
I like all videos with mud 🚣 boat Steve from new england
What brand of hull is the Mud Duck
Renkin
Shark fishing is my favorite moment Mike
Thank you man.. we definitely loved shark fishing in that old boat
My favorite videos are when the girls are with you an out fish you lol
All the time..lol
Ladies and gentlemen, the mud duck has left the building...
Yep..SHE GONE
Luar biasa pwmandangan yg bagus
Save the dead crabs and use them for redfish bait or even black drum bait and sheepshead
Yeah. It's a sad day but the memories you made fishing with your family can never be taken away. Pretty sure you got a smile on your face thinking about all the good things that are yet to come
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Second
WHAT THE HELL MIKE, WHO THE HELL IS THIS BRAD DUDE That Stole the Mudduck? WHAT WAS YOU THINKIN IF AT ALL???
Just messing with you, Brad's a good dude from what we've seen of him on you channel and I'm sure he'll enjoy the mudduck, were looking forward to seeing you with Summer and/or Amber and Brad out on the mudduck like the old days, and y'all on the new "P-KingDuck" making video's,,,
Oh what did you name the new duck? I suggested "Tight Lines"
let us know what you decided on,,,
TLJR's
Lol..thank you Kenny..the new boat is the MANG TIME
First! 🤗
I know the trouble you can find for touching another man’s traps, but do you think that ever happens to you?
All the time
Good video! Bro! I know it's a Sad moment ! But you are awesome and Great person! Keep fishing Bro! From north Alabama ghenley35
Thank you very much bro
When you had all them pompanos jumping all over the boat!
Yeah that was cool for sure
A video without Amber is not a good video!!!😒
