- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.พ. 2025
- I've traded in the Skeeter FXR for the new Phoenix Bass Boat. This is a complete change from my other fishing boat going to all new motor, electronics, trolling motor, etc. I give the new boat an unboxing, review and of course, a solid dangle.

One of the coolest things I have seen anyone do, actually take someone to a spot. First Class move LFG.
Because he is a classy guy. Finest kind.
One of the things that drives me nuts is when guys act so protective of their fishing spots. I run into people when I am streaming or recording who are like "you can't show people this spot." I'm like, "Maps exist, people will find this place no matter what." It's just so elitist and degenerate.
Thought the same thing! Incredible to take his time and show them the spot.
What a guy! Good on you LFG. Absolutely a first class move and why you’re the #1 googan.
Class act I really like his humbleness alot more than some of the otheres
Still the greatest and most humble (imo) googan. Tight lines brother 🤙🏼
True. Best googan fisherman and most humble. That's impressive. LFG is the man.
word
Only Googan I Sub to.
Woofer SD not rob?
No. Dude is full of himself, and couldn’t give 2 shits about his wife and daughter.
LFG you taking those guys to the fish(white bass or not)was by FAR the coolest thing I have ever seen on the water or in a video. This is why we all watch you channel......YOU'RE A GOOD GUY.
thank you for letting me do a little over view of the boat
You're a knowledgeable young man. Keep it up and you might be a Googan some day!
You killed it man!
Thank you
The only big TH-cam fisherman that is still humble. Congrats on 5 years with Steph. 99% of the guys on TH-cam make it seem like making videos is a hassle or something they have to do, you on the other hand are different. When I watch your videos I feel like you want us with you, like your enjoying what your doing. Some of the guys don’t come off that way at all anymore and to be honest it makes me kinda sad because I have followed for years.
Putting the father \ son on some crispies. I can feel the Karmas. XD
24:09
That’s absolutely awesome how you put those 2 on fish! So many times people “hide” their secret spots. Awesome to see you helping out other anglers in the moment.
I've been watching since the beginning , when you fished lake fork with OSG getting on the ol frog bite. Let me tell you you are a stand up guy that is very humble , you made those guys day putting them on the fish. I don't know to many people who would do that. Congratulations on your anniversary and the new silver bullet , she's a mean machine.
His wife or the boat? 🤷♂️ Lol i know what your sayin.
You sir are greatness. Just when I think I can't enjoy your videos or respect you more than I do you go above and beyond. Thank you for all you do to encourage and build the fishing community.
There's a reason everyone knows you and loves you. Keep on.
If you don’t like the way I’m livin, just leave this longhair country boy alone! Been growing my hair for 5 years. Taking father and son to the white bass honey hole was awesome of ya! Keep up the great work Justin!
You are truly the most incredible human being on the planet. Not only did you hook up two people on an awesome fishing spot (forever father and son memories) but you also put down your camera and didn’t record the officer checking your boat. You are so humble. God bless you man.
This is another video that proves again why I love watching your videos. You are so genuinely nice and encouraging to fellow anglers. Sweet new ride, too! Keep it up my friend!
Love seeing someone succeed in life, especially at something they love. May God keep you safe on your many adventures in life.
New boat again! Damn! If anyone deserves it, its you! I randomly came across ur muddy creek bass video about a year ago, and now I've probably dropped 5g's on fishing and camping stuff since then. I'm 40 years old and it seems like you have lived out my dream. Minus the brain tumor... Just watching you cook up some deer meat and eggs then show the fog on the lake with a herring flying over the sun rise, I was hooked before you even caught a bass! You are the fuckin man! Really loved it when u went elk hunting in Colorado too. And when you impersonated a Canadian, hilarious! Ur videos are one thing other than hunting and fishing that I look forward to in life. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Now get that little girl hooked like we are!
My daughter will be 3 in September.
Hope the 3s are better than the 2s. Mine is a BOSS! Good luck and god bless man!
Having my 2020 819 Phoenix for almost a year now I still smile every time I crank that 200 ProXS. My second Phoenix and first brand new one and just absolutely love it
To show the father n son where the sandies are: PURE class!
Man you seem like just a great guy! You dont let youtube fame get in the way of reacting to interaction with the people who know who you are and that's great! Love the channel! Just down to earth.
Still my favorite fisherman out there! Love the new boat! That was super nice of you to help out that father son fishing duo, guarentee you made their week.
Man it is amazing how you have got to where your at and it hasn't change you at all your just as humble as day one I'm glad for all your success and what is to come in the future you have a great channel wish you all the luck
That was awesome. Sharing your spot with those guys just shows everyone how cool you are!
Best googan in the squad!!!!
I like LFG the best too
Easily
Congrats on the new boat, LFG. I can tell how much you appreciate and are going to enjoy it! Tight lines and Mondos!
Taking other guys on the lake straight to the fish... This is why Justin is the best dude in the TH-cam fishing world. Happy Anniversary! Been watching you guys since the beginning. The flashback video you made of your first date is still one of your best. God Bless.
This man deserves everything. The nicest guy who genuinely enjoys everything about life and what it has to offer. The way this guy lives life and his out look on it is how everyone should. God bless..... man watching that video put me in a good mood.
This is why you are the best!!!!! Never “too big” for the little guys
That was a funky little beat when the motor started up too, sounded like the heat sampled a motor just ripping and flipped it for a beat, glad I’m watching LFG more now
Sweet! Beautiful boat! Loved, loved, loved your descriptive version of the pan-optics on your new vessel, Heavenly! Congratulations on your 5 yr. anniversary...dates forth coming! Only you would take some peeps to the fishes, thanks for making their day! This is why we stick with LFG!
You're good people Mr. Rackley. The world needs more people like you.
Thanks LFG! Two comments: First your Merc was made about an hour away from my home. Thank you for helping support many amazing people in Fond du Lac, WI. Second I agree the pandemic has brought new fishermen and women out in droves. I heard one report saying WI sold 100,000 additional fishing licenses in the first part of this year. With all that enthusiasm we may have to change bag limits so our grand kids can enjoy the sport 50 years from now. Remember: Trust God, enjoy family and friends, fish lots and occasionally open up that new Merc! Don’t forget to smile all day! Life is good!
Putting them on the fish was the nicest thing i have ever seen fisherman to fisherman on the water. Keep em comin bro.
Man that's awesome you taking the time to put them on a big school of white bass. That's why you are blessed my friend.
The most genuine fishing channel out there
Love what u did with that father and son fishing. U took them to the spot and make sure they catch something. Good stuff brother. Keep being you and push out the good vibes.
What a fantastic man. You put those guys on the spot! Thank you for being amazing!
All boats are crispy collector's in the end, I am glad this boat started life as one. Long live the golden crispy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
loved that u put them on the juice. they probably had an epic day of fishing cause you helped. just a lil effort and true sportsmanship. Love it... try putting some duck food in the duck house too. might waddle in there. enjoy your other channel. beautiful family.
How many TH-cam creators would take time out of their day to guide others to the fish. You're the man!
The color matched engine decals look killer! Glad they got rid of the red stripe on yours
Happy Anniversary to you & OSG! The boat is sick! The pan optics is amazing.
The sweetest-you made that dad and son’s day. God bless you-keep being you! PS-I made OSG’s cinnamon rolls...THE BEST! Husband and kids loved them.
Stay humble man your the best one out of the whole group!
I had to unfollow Lunkers after his constant humble bragging. It was just too much.
@@Tim_Yohan same here
LFG you are a good dude my man, much respect ! Keep on danglin’ !
From one Aggie to another, that was good bull taking the father and son duo to the spot. Gig Em, Justin, and happy anniversary. Gig Em and God bless you, OSG and the young fishing queen.
Got a unicorn! Found a 97 skeeter zx202 with a 06 mercury! Best boat combo I have ever owned!
Pics or it didn’t happen!! 😂😂
Just something I watched on MLF this weekend, the rod strap on the locker cover made it so the lid can be opened without throwing a rod over the side. I thought it was a slick idea, the rods can move out of the way of the lid without going in the drink.
The real dude.. LFG is the best on the tubes!
LFG is just the best dude. What a class act. Always. You deserve all the good things that come your way LFG. Keep up the amazing content!
Good deal showing the father and son where to fish. Livescope is amazing as you know. Been using it for over a year. Good video man.
Congrats on the new boat and enjoy it. Silver Bullet colors look great.
I bought my second boat from Fun-n-Sun, back in 1982, was called US Sport Sales at the time, got a 1982 Skeeter Champ.
I've had 4 Skeeters and 1 Nitro that I use today. Maybe another Skeeter, Ranger or Phoenix in the future.
I bought my Skeeter from Fun n Sun years ago. Fain was my salesman. Now he manages the place....awesome dude, and great people there! Your new rig looks a lot like one that I've seen there (and want)! Would match my truck perfectly! 😎
Aint many people left like ole lake fork guy cheers to you man for staying true and being a great humble guy 💯
Congrats on the new boat! Enjoy!
Happy Anniversary to you both! Congratulations on 5 years! And on the Silver Bullet!
Love it brother ! You’re an inspiration to anyone that loves fishing keep it up big guy !!!
LFG you have certainly earned that beauty! Thanks for taking the time to share the experience with you. Best wishes on the vacation. OSG needs it as much as you, I bet! Thanks for your work n Googan Lab too. YS really great fishing for us beginniners
God Bless.
Bro, you are my favorite Googan, hands down. So humble yet awesome. Excited to see the new adventures in the Silver Bullet. Oh oh oh oh oh (Hear that as Tim the Tool Man Taylor)!
Showing them that spot was great, that's the community approach we need, way to pay it forward LFG, that's why your the king.
Dude that was awesome when you put those guys on the white bass. you are just a class act LFG. I've loved your content for years so happy to see where you are and all of your success. :) Stay healthy dude.
I LOVE the color pattern on this boat!! Can’t wait to see you and OSG on the next adventure!
Love the new ride & happy anniversary to you and LFG. I miss seeing here in your videos. You guys need to go catch some crappie or white bass again together. Those videos are fun. Congrats man.
I been runnin a Phoenix for the last 7 years when you start chime walking pull the plate up a lil bit and trim the motor down lil. I found that helped on mine.
LFG, congrats to you and Stefani for 5 years.
We will be at 38 years in August. It goes quickly.
Classiest Googan but way beyond that you are just a down to earth awesome person. May god continue to bless you with anything and everything you and the family do. 🙏🇺🇸
I love how you took the dad and son to a spot where they could catch fish. Great gesture of kindness. Well done!
I just started watching but I went back a year ago and watch your story time videos and seen how you started and it’s inspiring so I’m gonna go to my college and apply for the bass team in Kentucky
I love the graphics on the boat. I think I also liked the cleaner look of only one graph screen on the console and bow. Go get-em LFG thank for sharing and congratz on 5 years!!!!
What a class act dude! It doesnt get any better than LFG! Thanks for the positive energy! Hope to meet you one day, my favorite googan and angler! Nice boat brother!!! Nice!!!! You deserve every bit of it!
Congrats on the new boat LFG. I hope you and OSG have a good time on your trip and Happy Anniversary!
You seem like a genuine nice guy LFG keep it up the world needs more people like you!!
I have the same boat. Love the ride. I think it turns better at high speeds than the skeeter did and also you are going to like it in rough water. When you start to chin walk trim the motor down a little then raise the jack plate up a hair. Then start to trim up lightly again with the motor and drive it. You’ll work it out and get the hang of it... and yes the new 4 stroke pro xs is a V8
2:45. Talking about pan optics as a game changer. I just got an ice fishing transducer and use it on my kayak and it’s a simple marcum m3 but it’s a game changer for me!!
Wow you are approaching 1 million subscribers!
Hats off to you LFG. helping a father/son catch fish
You’re a good dude LFG. That was cool of you helping those guys out.
Rackley Hydraulic Jack plates will stabilize you a hell of alot better. I was a boat and Racecar Driver. If you or Fun and Sun can program them in for speed It would take out that speed wobble. EZPZ. Grats on the new boat. Have fun on your trip with OSG.
You are the best LFG
Honestly dude
I think he's the only LFG lol jk
I liked the video prior to you helping out the two guys fishin for sandies, extra thumbs up after that. Heck of a guy LFG. Thanks for what you do!
Congratulations on the new Silver Bullet, Happy 5th anniversary to you and OSG, and congratulations to making it over 900k subs! It's all down hill to a million subs now!
Thanks for being real and sharing your experiences with us. I've learnt a lot from your videos 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Dude, what you did for those jon boat guys was awesome....sign of a man following the golden rule...I tip my hat Sir....oh, pertty boat.
That panoptix is insane, it's like playing a video game while fishing! Haha glad you had a great day in the new boat!
I love learning about these boats. I fished on a Phoenix once and they are now my all time favorite boats! Great vid LFG
Appreciate you and your great family.
Positive vibes 🙏
I like that you are nice to people.
(yes that sounds simple minded, but it is true, kids can be crushed when their hero turns out to be a jerk. But if their hero is nice it can really positively motivate them.)
Favorite channel by far! This shows what fishing is all about, helping others catch fish and have a good time. Love it 👍
LFG best fishing youtuber. That was nice of you showing those guys. I remember when i was young with my dad trynna find those white bass in the detroit river. Fun little fish. Honestly one of the funnest fish to catch. Put up a good fight for such a small body
LFG is an extremely influential angler. One of the best in my opinions.. but also a great Videographer. Watch these videos has pushed me to into tryin my own thing out. Not trying to ride clout here but he inspired me to make my own videos. If you dig it lemme know!
You are a steward of the sport and are very gracious , that's why you will continue to be successful and are a fabulous family man. PS. Get you a bottom plate for the Atlas JP if you don't have one, it will give you a lil better hole shot and will keep water from shooting up the Open shoot of the plate all over the motor and the back .Atlas makes them and I bet Fun and Sun has them
That Tim the tool man Taylor growl... 😂🔥😂🔥
such a down to earth guy! brings a father and son to their spot, cheers!
Nice boat, awesome video, love that you put those guys on the fish. But you definitely need to go fishing with your wife, if she watches that video and Can see how excited you are out fishing on a new boat... lmao. I’m the same way
The boat is amazing and so is the electronics. One day I will have this as well, but just gotta keep grinding until then👌
Hi lol. See you in comment section every time
@@DadnSonOutdoors 😂 I usually comment on most videos I watch, it's just how I am🤷♂️
Same here bro
You are a legend LFG. I would give up my collection of gear to spend a day on that boat. The damage you could do up in the muskokas and Algonquin would be insane. If you EVER come to Ontario Canada you let me know! Hunt them chunkers down!
Tool times a throw back👍👍
I'm from East Texas and I have never seen a skeeter with a merc
Ps and the way you put those guys on those fish is A1 class act behavior what a guy!
So glad for you we all know how hard you worked to get where your at. Keep it up!!
LFG, your an asset not only to the fishing & hunting lives of many people, but to everyday life in general...bet you would love to fish the Eastern Washington lakes up in the PNW for bass & walleye...keep it coming bro.
Long hair dont care these videos are beyond fair. Love ya LFG thank you for your hard work.
Keep up the good work and accomplishing your dreams, love ya man
