Gene can you PLEASE do a video on tournament breakdown?! Pre tournament/rigging, then on the water practice, then the tournament or something similar PLEASE?! I'm new to tournament fishing and you always have such great detailed videos and think there'd be a lot of guys who'd enjoy that video! and ALSO do a video on those GARMIN's!!! how you like them and how you setup and use them out on the water and how you're interpreting the Side Imaging!!!
Gene, been in Afghanistan deployed, before I left caught the fishing bug and watched your channel religiously. You gave me confidence and techniques, when I get back I'll be getting a boat going fishing rocking the Georgia G (Georgia boy myself) really appreciate your videos.
Your reasoning for buying aluminum is exactly why I ordered my 198p earlier this year. After spending four months with it I will probably never go back to fiberglass. You were absolutely spot on with the daily cost to run. Thank you.
The boat show came to my town here in central Illinois last weekend and I bought my first brand new boat. I’ve always had Trackers, and they were always used when I purchased them. Just last Saturday like I said I bought my first new one, 2018 RT 178 ranger. I pick it up Friday, and Friday cannot come quick enough LOL. Anyway love your videos, you are a true inspiration, and I have learned a lot from you Gene... thanks for everything you do! A true fan!
Gene, congrats on the new rig, very nice. As a USMC Veteran, bass fisherman and fellow TH-camr I want to thank you for your support of and education to your audience of Veteran issues!
Thanks Gene. You're an awesome ambassador for the sport and even better spokesman for the organization. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you soon. Nice boat too.
I understand you on the aluminum vs. fiberglass boats. We have a 2017 Skeeter and it eats up a lot of our money. I really like it because it is the perfect beginner tournament bass boat. Good job Gene.
Hey Gene. Mine arrived today. Just waiting for the rigging of the motor and electronics etc. But so far it looks amazing. Thank you for helping me make this choice. It was cool meeting you at the Classic in SC. Hope we can meet again sometime to share some Alumacraft stories
Thank you for the tour of your new Alumacraft Pro 185. Please recommend to the manufacturer that they make every hatch handle the "T" type. The finger hook type does not provide enough grip area when the carpet is tight around the opening. If you ever get up to the Twin Cities area I will gladly provide room and board. If we go fishing you may laugh at my skills so hard you fall in. Thank you for the wonderful example you set by your caring attitude towards others.
Boat looks great! Crazy enough when it was time for me to look for another boat I was dead set on fiberglass After watching(endless number) of videos you produced, you changed my mind and is why I now have an all aluminium boat. Very much like yours but starts with an "L" 195. Love it!!! Thanks for all the great content.
Gene I'm a newer subscriber to the channel and must say great video's. I want to say thank you for supporting that military related organization. I'm a disabled veteran and your support means allot. I'm really glad you touched on college and high school fishing. My son is in 7th grade and a member of his school fishing team here in Alabama. He is fishing the ASABFA and the BASS ALABAMA Tournament Trail. They might even fish the BASS National Qualifier and/or FLW/TBF National Qualifier if close enough. He would have to do the BASS jr being 7th grade. One thing that good for him and me is lake Guntersville is only 15 minutes away! As for your new boat I must say I like it. My son and I are fishing out a 97 TX175 Sea Nymph with a 60 Evinrude. The boat works but really want one like yours. Mines not as stable. you mentioned in a past post the stability of your red boat was good and I'm sure the new on is just as good. Sorry for the long post!
I love these videos as much as any fishing video. I love to see how other guys set their boats up logistically. Please do a video on how you label and store your tackle!
I have that same boat only 2013, glad Alumacraft is taking some advice from you as a fisherman. One suggestion I would comment on Gene is having them add an aeration pump to the system as well. I prefer not to cycle warm water in throughout the day and treat the initial fill. I added one to mine. Nice video.
I wanted a nice fiberglass boat but couldn't afford one. I purchased an aluminum one and couldn't be happier. Your absolutely right it's so cheap to own compared to my buddies glass boats. Easy to tow, easy on gas, and still does everything theirs does except they are faster. The only downside is I do get blown around a little more in the wind so I'm on the trolling motor more.
Great video Gene. Beautiful boat. Alumicraft has really picked one of the most professional, mature, involved anglers to represent their brand by working with you. Hats off (no pun intended) to you and Alumicraft.
Ty for video i dont see very many alumacraft pro 185 videos from people . I pick up my new 2021 pro 185 sat there rigging it up the way i like . Am excited cant wait ty again
I love it Gene! I actually asked you what boat you were in a few days ago and tonight I see this video lol Awesome bro and helps me out a lot because I'm in the market trying to decide between glass and aluminum
Gene This ya boy Sly jones man I gotta fish with you one day when u head to Florida just a fan of you man. I can read a genuine person and u make fishing fun and informative.. Keep searching and catching Slaunches big dawg!!
Man that is super nice. If I ever get out of kayaks my boat will be a tin boat. Like the alumacraft also like the big 20 ft crestliner tin boat. That is a super nice rig ya got there man congrats.
Love how last year you dissed the rod tubes saying all the old boats lol but your new one has a different setup and has them. Ill probably be doing the same in my new 2018 LOWE Stinger 188 DC if the side compartments are long enough. Different brand boats but exact same storage setup
Great video Gene! One day, when I get a bass boat, it will be aluminum based on the information you put in this video! I fish almost exclusively from a kayak, but dream of standing on a big carpeted deck!
nice boat Gene you deserve it keep up the great videos I really like how you honored the fallen hero in the back of the boat nothing but respect for you!
I totally agree with you Gene I have been fishing college tournaments out a tournament rigged bass tracker for years and the cost savings is amazing compared to running a glass rig. It allows me get on the water for very little cost and you can still be competitive. BTW that boat is awesome really looks killer in black!
great boat! got an aluminum Lowe stinger 185 for some of the same reasons as well. I can haul it with my Subaru Outback 3.6R with no problem which I still get around 19mpg in tow as well. it would be nice to get one of those as it has some features my 07' doesn't. I would love to have DRY STORAGE! keep up the great vids, I've been learning from you for at least a couple years now. definitely made me a much better angler and I am very grateful for that. glad its funding your dream job!
love the new ride fluke, I have always fished glass boats got one now, but after seeing yours i might have to check one out, keep videos coming, cant wait to see it on water
Great boat and trailer setup gene. Could you consider doing a video where you do a quick tour of what is inside your tackle boxes? I assume like most of us, you carry different tackle for the changing seasons or fishing conditions. Thanks. Fred from Lagrange GA.
Great looking boat Fluke! I down sized myself to a Wilderness Systems ATAK 140 kayak since I live in Commifornia and the cost to do anything fun is outrageous. Kayak fishing is not charge extra fees like licensing, launch fees and limited speeds (crazy). Your 115 HP motor would be limited to 30mph on most of our local lakes. Anyhow, keep up the great work and helpful tips and good luck with your new boat.
Gene as someone who is looking to buy his first boat this year, your comments about the affordability of running the alumicraft really hit home with me. Still dead set on a glass boat but, that stuck with me as a viewer.
If you are a fishing guide and you buy an Alumacraft boat the warranty goes from a 10 year warranty to a 1 year warranty. You would think a company who claims to know anglers would not cut fishing guides warranty’s. This is not just about me but any guide or angler who uses this product. There are tons of great company’s out there who understand the angler. Support them !
You're a good man Gene, so bummed about Mark. I followed him on instagram loved his posts and he liked a lot of my fishing pics, gone way too soon. I will head over to the link give what I can in honor of him. Great video as always sir.
I still fish out of a 1985 Alumacraft Maverick. With the Johnson 40Hp that came with it. I gutted it last year and restored the whole boat. Restored the trailer too. 2 New Garmin 7sv vivid fish finders. New 55 lb motor guide trolling motor. And a wrap on it too. New boats prices have gotten out of control.
Gotta keep that barn door closed Gene. lol Man that boat is a dream. If it wasn't for the fact I fish Tournaments I would much rather have a aluminum boat.
I'd fish it in tournaments man. Heck I used to fish derbies in a 14ft jon boat with an 8 hp motor. I won a few in it and the other guys had glass rockets.
Really random but...you sir are Bill Dance of this generation...i specifically look and follow you on TH-cam and cannot wait for you to post videos. thank you for what you do man. Happy 4th Brotha!
Great video! The only thing I think you missed is that buying a boat does not end the financial burden it only begins it ... outside of just fuel cost you are looking at maintenance costs every year at least plus the inevitability that something will go wrong and fixing it is expensive ! winterization if you live up north is minimum $500 every year and shrink wrapping it adds to that total plus storage is crazy even without climate control and all that good stuff ! I live in Maryland and own a 19' center console and I spend a couple grand every year just doing basic maintenance ! You have to LOVE to fish to buy a boat, which I do, because if you don't it will eat your bank account alive for nothing ! So buyers beware when people say the best days ownjng a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it they are speaking the truth !
Nice boat gene. I am impressed with boat manufacturers these days and quality of the aluminum boats. tournament ready boats for a third of the cost of fiberglass. whether you go with alumacraft, crestliner, tracker or ranger.
Gene, could you go into detail on the stability, double fishermen up front, chine walk, bang-for-buck of power poles...etc. I really like these Alumacraft and rely on your unbiased opinion...I'm buying a boat this Christmas. Thanks brother
Fluke when you figure out those Garmins if you could do a video on them that would be great. I am stilling trying to figure out how to dial in my SideVu and figure out what all the different settings do. Your advice would be awesome! Thank for what you do!
Gene you have inspired me. After watching you show us the past two Alumacraft I purchased my first ever bass boat. Thanks I will never tell my wife you are responsible
Gene, I didn't realize you moved. I'm 30 minutes up hwy 27 from you. I used to hunt off Haywood Valley and Texas Valley Roads. We are in one of the best areas in the country for bass fishing....Chickamauga, Nickajack, Carters, Allatoona, Weiss, Guntersville...all withing 1.5 hours drive. See you on the Chick. BTW, chattanoogafishingforum.com is a good local resource for the area. They have good up to date fishing reports.
Hey Gene so LOWE, LUND, RANGER AND BASS TRACKER all pretty much have the same boats, imo anyway.. I currently own 2015 bass tracker TXW and honestly I like the boat but the build quality is horrible. I was tossing back and forth about getting a glass boat but honestly I couldn't agree with you more on the trailering and the gas consumption. I was on a big lake for over a week and still came home with 1/4 a tank. Now just have to go do my own walk through of the other 4 manufacturers I mentioned earlier. Thanks for the videos sir keep them coming
I agree on the garmin video as well. there is not a lot of information out there on them as far as set up and interpretation. it would be a huge help sweet boat btw keep up the good work
Very nice boat!! Should be on a show called pimp my boat! I'm Jelly but one day very soon I shall be getting my first ever bass boat! 😳🤘🏼 great video as usual!
Flukemaster nice! I'm 33 and my wife and I are financially ready finally, to purchase a boat still debating on buying brand new or used but either way very excited and blessed to have the opportunity! Thanks for your input and great videos! 👍
Gene can you PLEASE do a video on tournament breakdown?! Pre tournament/rigging, then on the water practice, then the tournament or something similar PLEASE?! I'm new to tournament fishing and you always have such great detailed videos and think there'd be a lot of guys who'd enjoy that video! and ALSO do a video on those GARMIN's!!! how you like them and how you setup and use them out on the water and how you're interpreting the Side Imaging!!!

Very slick boat and I think you will love the Garmins. After 20+ years using Lowrance I got a Garmin and will never go back. Thanks for the tour.

Thanks John. I wouldn't do it any other way.
Great cause...good on ya, Gene for supporting our troops and their families. Gorgeous boat!
Thanks Gene. You're an awesome ambassador for the sport and even better spokesman for the organization. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you soon. Nice boat too.
Thanks Brother. That means a lot coming from you.

That's awesome man, Congratulations. I know you will love it for many years to come.
Thank you for the tour of your new Alumacraft Pro 185. Please recommend to the manufacturer that they make every hatch handle the "T" type. The finger hook type does not provide enough grip area when the carpet is tight around the opening.
If you ever get up to the Twin Cities area I will gladly provide room and board. If we go fishing you may laugh at my skills so hard you fall in.

Easy to tow, easy on gas, and still does everything theirs does except they are faster. The only downside is I do get blown around a little more in the wind so I'm on the trolling motor more.
Get a bigger trolling motor. That's why I have an 80 on mine.
your gonna love that trolling motor my buddy has been running one this year and it's a joy using it the spot lock is amazing
Great video Gene. Beautiful boat. Alumicraft has really picked one of the most professional, mature, involved anglers to represent their brand by working with you. Hats off (no pun intended) to you and Alumicraft.
wow glad to see that things are going good for you Gene with the new boat and the truck still don't have a boat but I have a kayak and having fun.
Great boat. Thanks for the reply. Clarks Hill can get bad nasty when that wind gets up. Nice to know she can handle it.
Ty for video i dont see very many alumacraft pro 185 videos from people . I pick up my new 2021 pro 185 sat there rigging it up the way i like . Am excited cant wait ty again
I love it Gene!
I actually asked you what boat you were in a few days ago and tonight I see this video lol

Looks good fluke and the back deck decal is awesome. You should try and get your boat wrapped in that.
Great video Gene! One day, when I get a bass boat, it will be aluminum based on the information you put in this video! I fish almost exclusively from a kayak, but dream of standing on a big carpeted deck!
One of my first video I seen of you were introducing a new boat. Here we go again.....LOL. Another sweet boat. Love the storage compartments.
nice boat Gene you deserve it keep up the great videos I really like how you honored the fallen hero in the back of the boat nothing but respect for you!

Looks like the hard work on TH-cam has paid off
love the new ride fluke, I have always fished glass boats got one now, but after seeing yours i might have to check one out, keep videos coming, cant wait to see it on water
DUDE!!! Sweet ride!!! You about got me sold on this boat! love the way its rigged out!
Thanks man. I'm pretty excited about it.
Congrats on the new boat! I must say, wen you got your last one, it turned me on to Alumacraft. Very nice looking, reasonably price boats.
Great boat and trailer setup gene. Could you consider doing a video where you do a quick tour of what is inside your tackle boxes? I assume like most of us, you carry different tackle for the changing seasons or fishing conditions. Thanks. Fred from Lagrange GA.
Nice boat! I will always like the red hat but the other one is for a good cause and looks great!
Great looking boat Fluke! I down sized myself to a Wilderness Systems ATAK 140 kayak since I live in Commifornia and the cost to do anything fun is outrageous. Kayak fishing is not charge extra fees like licensing, launch fees and limited speeds (crazy). Your 115 HP motor would be limited to 30mph on most of our local lakes. Anyhow, keep up the great work and helpful tips and good luck with your new boat.
And that is why I don't want to fish out there. Good grief man. There are so many laws on the water it's ridiculous.
I may be paranoid but I'd blur ur license plate. Bless you for all you do for our vets and family!
That things sick brotha! Lets get out there on it!
Gene as someone who is looking to buy his first boat this year, your comments about the affordability of running the alumicraft really hit home with me. Still dead set on a glass boat but, that stuck with me as a viewer.
I’d check out the ranger rt198p, best boat I’ve ever owned!!
If you are a fishing guide and you buy an Alumacraft boat the warranty goes from a 10 year warranty to a 1 year warranty. You would think a company who claims to know anglers would not cut fishing guides warranty’s. This is not just about me but any guide or angler who uses this product.

Great stuff man . You have sold me on aluminum. Been going back and forth on a used glass or new aluminum. Thank you
You're a good man Gene, so bummed about Mark. I followed him on instagram loved his posts and he liked a lot of my fishing pics, gone way too soon. I will head over to the link give what I can in honor of him. Great video as always sir.
It looks great! Congratulations! You created a well thought out product.
Nice boat love the color and the features. Congratulations
Congrats on the new boat! Keep those videos coming!
+Topher Lee Thanks

Pretty sweet, Gene. I've had my eye on the Ranger RT188, but thats a pretty nice rig, and you got the Yamaha, halfway there already...
The new boat is not RED!? Total respect for your commitment to Special Ops Survivors
I'm happy for you. Keep the videos coming. How about some family fishing ideas? Keeping everyone happy.
Right on! I still remember when you taught me how to walk thw dog with your video.
Man that's the nicest aluminum boat Ive ever seen
Really random but...you sir are Bill Dance of this generation...i specifically look and follow you on TH-cam and cannot wait for you to post videos. thank you for what you do man. Happy 4th Brotha!
Wow!! Thanks David. That means a lot.
Love Gene, great guy and fisherman, but nobody compares to Bill Dance...nobody!
Dave Phillips I get what your saying but I'm just trying to give some positive feedback brotha relax pal
David Bocchi, nothing wrong with positive feedback, and Gene definitely deserves it just not in Bill Dance's category. And I'm not your pal...brotha.
Dave Phillips ... what a dick
Nice video Gene! love the new boat and hearing about how cost effective it is!
Looking good Gene! I just hope the transducer you mounted to your trolling motor isn't going to be used for SideVu.
+Chase A nope. Down Imageing.
I have a special ops survivor hat as well, wear it all the time!
Great video! The only thing I think you missed is that buying a boat does not end the financial burden it only begins it ... outside of just fuel cost you are looking at maintenance costs every year at least plus the inevitability that something will go wrong and fixing it is expensive ! winterization if you live up north is minimum $500 every year and shrink wrapping it adds to that total plus storage is crazy even without climate control and all that good stuff !

So buyers beware when people say the best days ownjng a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it they are speaking the truth !
That wiring makes me itch, lol. Congrats on the new set-up.
It's not that bad. Most of it is the hydrolic lines for the power poles. I haven't zip tied them up yet so they are everywhere.
Nice boat gene. I am impressed with boat manufacturers these days and quality of the aluminum boats. tournament ready boats for a third of the cost of fiberglass. whether you go with alumacraft, crestliner, tracker or ranger.
Gene, could you go into detail on the stability, double fishermen up front, chine walk, bang-for-buck of power poles...etc. I really like these Alumacraft and rely on your unbiased opinion...I'm buying a boat this Christmas. Thanks brother
Aluma Craft is a great boat. I have a 175 Voyager, in the black!
Awesome Gene! Wish it was red like the last one.
Fluke when you figure out those Garmins if you could do a video on them that would be great. I am stilling trying to figure out how to dial in my SideVu and figure out what all the different settings do. Your advice would be awesome! Thank for what you do!
Nice boat!!! Thank you for all of your videos. I've learned so much from you.
LOVE the decal and cap Gene!
Thank you brother.
very sharp!!... ready to see some videos out of it
Dude that is sweet.
Congratulations
Gene you have inspired me.
After watching you show us the past two Alumacraft I purchased my first ever bass boat.
Thanks
I will never tell my wife you are responsible
Awesome boat looks great. 👍🏻🎣🎣
That trailer is sick...nice boat too lol
congrats on the new boat, sweet rig
nice new boat flukemaster cant wait to see new videos in it
Nice ride, Gene.
You are so much easier to look at without that UGA cap. War Eagle! Thanks for supporting and bringing a great cause to your channel!
Thnaks for your support of the SF’s. Amazing boat, enjoy! One question, what is the distance between the seats and the front deck?
Great tips about the advantages of an aluminum boat vs a fiberglass boat!
Sweet boat. Someday I'll own an Alumacraft boat as well.
They are a sweet ride. I didn't have a single issue with the last one.
Unreal boat man. Good for u
Gene, I didn't realize you moved. I'm 30 minutes up hwy 27 from you. I used to hunt off Haywood Valley and Texas Valley Roads. We are in one of the best areas in the country for bass fishing....Chickamauga, Nickajack, Carters, Allatoona, Weiss, Guntersville...all withing 1.5 hours drive. See you on the Chick. BTW, chattanoogafishingforum.com is a good local resource for the area. They have good up to date fishing reports.
Hey Gene so LOWE, LUND, RANGER AND BASS TRACKER all pretty much have the same boats, imo anyway.. I currently own 2015 bass tracker TXW and honestly I like the boat but the build quality is horrible.

Thanks for the videos sir keep them coming
+Joe Tanga You might need to get on the water with some. Each ride totally different
Alumacrafts are the best boats going!
Sweet dude. Working on getting a nicer boat myself. My little crappie boat isn't very comfortable. It floats and runs on occasion.
sick new boat gene !
Thats a nice boat man!
Love your boat Gene!
new boat and new truck this year? Love the channel keep up the good work
I agree on the garmin video as well. there is not a lot of information out there on them as far as set up and interpretation. it would be a huge help sweet boat btw keep up the good work
Nice boat Gene!
Truck and Boat looks great fluke! congrats!
Nice boat Gene! I wish Minn kota brought out that trolling motor last year when I bought mine. I see you didn't get the hydro-wave on this one.
Very nice boat!! Should be on a show called pimp my boat! I'm Jelly but one day very soon I shall be getting my first ever bass boat! 😳🤘🏼 great video as usual!
I was in my 30s when I finally got my first big boat. It was a great feeling.
Flukemaster nice! I'm 33 and my wife and I are financially ready finally, to purchase a boat still debating on buying brand new or used but either way very excited and blessed to have the opportunity! Thanks for your input and great videos! 👍
Good looking rig Gene!!
