Thanks for watching! God Bless! Matthew 4:19
Notice the split tail on the second bass! Anyone know why?
FERDA Fishing He is either in a growing process that a lot of bass go through around that size or it’s a birth defect.
Probably A Line or Hook Cut!
It's dorsal fin looked battered as well
Nicholas Wilson Never noticed that but I think you’re right!
I think he's been beat up by bigger fish/herons/turtles (I'm sure you have turtles in that pond) or some larger predator.
His dorsal fin also looks like it's taken some abuse during the 2-3 years he's been out there trying to survive in a fish-eat-fish environment.
I build those kayaks, they get heavy after picking them up all day lmao, the storage compartments have sharp edges when the cnc cuts them out, part of my job is burning the plastic with a torch, If you run your hand around the holes you'll feel that the plastic is rounded over and smooth lol
DIRTY SOUTH CUSTOMZ dang, that’s crazy!
Mine is sharp af! I cut myself.
Cool. Good to know. And thanks
*Very well-made, stable, comfortable **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love that everything fits in bag. Easy to paddle for single person as well, however might be too heavy to carry by one.*
Thanks for the video about the Lifetime Tamarak Angler. I really thinking about getting one and your video was very helpful. And really stoked to hear you ask for prayer requests cuz I’m a Pastor and appreciate you sharing the faith. God Bless!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much!
Did you end up buying one and if you did was is it good
You had a sub at the prayer request! I am 12 and love fishing! (And Jesus!)
Me too man!
Hey nice video. I've seen a few folks review this kayak, which is a nice budget offering. My wife and I are thinking about getting a few kayaks, but are not sure if we want to lay out alot of cash until we know we love this recreation. You did a nice job with the review, and of course the fish is one reason why I would prefer an angler type set up for a kayak. Would love to go fishing by myself. I have a Bantam 3x which is fun to take my sons out on, but it's definitely a two man operation, whereas this set up I can handle on my own. Love the Matthew 4:19 reference. God Bless
Buck Haberthy Thanks! I appreciate that! Hope you have fun if you grab a kayak!
Brother... Amen on receiving Prayer request... it's great to watch a fellow Christian Angler!!
It was awesome to see one of these budget kayak reviews, from someone who hasn't already bought ALL the other kayak, and isn't comparing it to a bunch of kayaks I know nothing about. Rather just a guy who doesn't know much about kayaks, taking one out for the first time and letting us know how he feels. Thanks, bud. This was more helpful than virtually every other kayak review vid.
Wow! Such kind words! I appreciate it! God Bless!
@@ferda9019 no worries, bud. Was worth a subscribe
My channel isn't as cool. But there's some good stuff in there as well. My car has been broken down for the last couple months, and have been fuct over by a few mechanics along the way. So hopefully I'll be able to get the thing back on the road again, and start posting more fishing adventures on my channel..perhaps some time in the near future, I'll make a couple different chanels. That way, I can have a dedicated fishing chanel, a dedicated opal cutting Chanel, and another channel for just random stuff. I think the dedicated channels seem to get more views, and subs.
@@redeyestones3738 dude, that sounds like a great idea!
I have this exact kayak and I know that those pockets in the front and back are not watertight. So I just figured you should know that before your baits gets soaked. But it does also do a pretty good job of keeping out the water just not 100% of it.
Steven Adams Thanks for letting me know! At the time of filming, I was unaware of that!
Surely it can be made water tight with a few flange wax seals
I actually think the water comes in through the holes cut in the side of the kayak for the bungee paddle holder
I keep seeing this suggested, but I want something with a bit more quality to the storage.
I'd like a deep well in the back and an actual storage spot in the center that isn't just a hole into the entire inside of the kayak.
7:36 "That looks juicy, right there." Hilarious!
HerrP 😂😂
1st time kayak buyer. Great video. Bunch of them on this model but most are informative
My questions are:
1. 4 scupper holes. Nobody explains how to plug them? Don’t they need to be plugged?
2. Nobody mentions the max length of the paddle that comes with the kayak?
Unless I missed it
Seen one video on this model all he mentions about all the extras added to make it more user friendly. At maybe $100-$150 extra costs?
One may as well buy an Old Town already that has the features….and money ahead
Im glad you said it wasnt too bad to carry,i live like 10 minutes from the water so i hope it isnt too bad carrying it there and back after being out.. first time on the water once i get it btw
Can't wait to get mine delivered. Same color as yours, should be fun to get out some lakes here in MN!
Yo, that’s dope! Enjoy! God Bless!
Got the same kayak yesterday can’t wait to try it. Great video!
geoff gurney It’s really fun! Hope you enjoy it!
WOW!!! What a deal. Thanks for posting and sharing.
Ok. I would like 6” Lunker Logs in the Green Pumpkin Blue color😂 awesome video bro! I’m loving the new kayak!
Awesome video! A topwater frog looks killer in those pads. Thank you for your service sir.
Carlos Gonzalez I agree with you! I’m looking forward to a lot more topwater here in the coming months out there!
Lean fwd if you need to adjust the seat . This is the main reason why I got this kayak bc you can put a lean on it for relaxing . I ot stuck in a odd position And it needed a beer holder I mean beverage holder lol and it does... I love it
The comment about God having us in so cool. Stay safe
Gary Shaw Thank you so much!
I’ve got a lifetime nice kayak. Keel in back a lil thin ( don’t drag ) added homemade rudder helps with drift . Set the hook brother
In Scandinavia Biltema sell a cheap kayak that look almost like the tamarack. But with a wheel on the back. I bought one this week. Haven't tested it, still ice on the water where I live. No seat cushions so I had to order than on eBay. Here is the tamarack clone from Biltema. www.biltema.no/batutstyr/vannsport/kajakker/kajakk-2000043444
Bought this, took it out and with me and a tackle box it sits completely underwater, might be good for kids or on a mirror like lake, only has 275 capacity
How much do you weigh lol the weight capacity never came up before purchasing?
@@switchmaster5860 true lol even with all your fishing gear 275 should be enough
LMAO essential drink yea lol 🥂🍺🍸🍷🍹🥃 cheer's
lol
Lifetime has 3 other kayaks that have the stadium style seats in them which are a little more comfortable. Dicks sporting goods has onr called the Teton. And the other 2 are called the Tamarac angler pro and the Yukon. Ive got the Yukon found it on sale at a place called Blains Farm and Fleet for $400. Its a really nice kayak for the money. I did make a few small changes to the paddle holders and the bungees in the back. But really it comes pretty much ready to go.
Jason S that’s awesome! Never heard of it! I’ll have to check it out!
tnx for the tip....i shared your video to our Angler's group...
JonC #doin' things channel You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
My last duty base was little rock and i got lucky enough to get a house right next to the “lake”… one of the few times i got to fish on it i ended catching like 3 bass and surprisingly a sun fish too on a texas rig crawfish… im out and back home now, trying to get back on the water with a recent kayak i just bought
Nice ! I I
Like the rod holder ! I just bought the same yak , but I’ll be chasing tiger Muskie so that will definitely help
Very good, I got it from a friend, he sold it to me, I can wait to go and try it... always wanted and at my 57 I got it 👍🏼😉
That’s fantastic! You’ll have fun!
How stable is it
Mine is Army Green... And I call it " G. I. Joe". Best darn kayak for the money. I have a BKC kayak/sup now.. but I still take "Joe" out once in a while and love it even more. Awesome kayak for the money... P. S . Put some Gorilla tape on the bottom.. 👍💜✝️🎣🌴🇺🇸
The Lone Angler the tape idea is fantastic! Thanks for the tip!
Does that give it stability, slow the roll?
Wow .. for as long as I was stationed at Shaw, I never thought to check out the base ponds
Dunham's sports has the non- angler version of this kayak on sale for $169. It doesn't have the rod holders and seat pad that's the only difference.
Woah is there a link?
Actually looks pretty good. I have two pelicans, and they are ok. I wish they made a 45 inch wide 12 foot kayak for big people. I'm 6'3 and 250 lbs. I dont care about speed or standing up. I just need comfort and stability in the water.
I think you are describing jon boat lmao
@@Jake-vc1jd No, I'm not.
@@PanfishingJournal 45 inches wide, 12 feet long?
Amazing! Love it! Perfect angler kayak!
I just purchased 2 of these kayaks at the worst time EVER. Im overpaying by 500 dollars if these are usually 300 a piece. 2 for 1450.00 is what im paying. Every single place is out of stock of every affordable kayak and they don't know when they will restock. So i got stuck paying nearly double what they are worth. On the bright side, i found what i was looking for finally and will be on the water soon! Thanks for the review!
For $725 each you could have got a much better boat. For around $300 the Tamarack is a very good boat, If the price goes much above $350 you're better off spending just a bit more for a better yak. Here are some very good examples of what you could have had in the $600 to $1000 range. th-cam.com/video/wc2f7xglcEI/w-d-xo.html
@@antcri730 i know, i got ripped off. But every place i looked was sold out, i originally had 2 kayaks put on back order since may 20th,
cabelas/bass pro canceled the order last week because they weren't going to get them any time soon. Although now im seeing some sites having some kayaks back in stock and It hurts.
We use a version of the texas rig out here in NorCal when we are fishing n the kelp, either from shore or on a yak.
This is a must get now.
Just bought the same kayak online. Your video turned me on to it, can't wait for it to arrive
Glad to hear it!
hahah just bought it too.. might of paid a bit more than anyone else :x but i couldn't find a damn kayak anywhere online to save my life :/
it was between this kayak and the sun dolphin
I bought grip tape for my paddle where I hold it at. A few bucks on ebay. It's the same grip tape I put on my compound bow.
Great Idea!
Great video man. I just ordered one from Walmart. Will be here on the 25th. Thanks again.
Picked mine up yesterday for $169 out the door brand new. Couldn’t be more happy with it
justaverage94 wow no way! How’d you do that?
FERDA Fishing in the midst of the pandemic, I drove 30 minutes north to Dunham’s sports where they had two of these beauties for 160 a piece. They also had a literal stack of the sun dolphin Aruba’s for 180
justaverage94 that’s insane! Have fun with it! Hope you love it! God Bless!
It's such a great yak, I've purchased 2 in March and have zero complaints. I posted a better seat video if u decide to go with more comfort and how I installed it.
Interesting! I’ll check it out
Can you post a link to your seat video, all I see on your channel is guitar videos.
@@antcri730 th-cam.com/video/Af-wF1gfMoI/w-d-xo.html
Cool video. Love the added fishing footage
Good video. Definitely considering a kayak. Just Liked and Subscribed.
Thanks man! It’s a ton of fun!
This was a fun video! Enjoyed watching you reel them in!
Thank you!
Come to Chicago Illinois and go Fishing ....
That’s a pretty brodacious look, scarf with a tank top ... lolzers
Haha that outfit increases your chances of catching dinks by 27%
@@ferda9019 🤣🤣🤣
Dinks ponds are always fun to experience 😂😂😂
Nice video man. I grew up in Sumter and caught some good bass at Shaw. Dont think I ever fished that pond though.
Chris Okerlund That’s crazy! It’s a decent little pond on base!
From one youtuber to an other. Great video man. Keep up the great work.
Dip yeah. LETS GO
Googan Baits? Omg torch them and never look back👍 Nice review some helpful info about the Kayak!
Narlee20 lol thanks!
Amen bro
That's a nice kayak in my favorite color
Just letting you know the rod holder rotates
sound like the fire dept. was going on a call love to hear the fed.Q
Is there any where I could put a trolling motor on it
I need to get a kayak! Great video my brotha !
It was so fun!
@@ferda9019 how many scupper plugs does it need?
Kryptic you need 6
@@ferda9019 thanks
At first I was trusting this review but it seems like he’d take anything all day so now I don’t know🤔😂
Nice thanks for sharing I’m getting the same kayak soon
Nice! I hope you enjoy! God Bless!
Thak you 🙋♂️
They are a lot cheaper at Tractor Supply.
If you have any back issues sitting that low would be terrible. I don't understand why so many kayaks are sold with terrible paddles that are too short. Great video though. If your young and spry it is probably fine with an improved paddle. That kayak would kill my older body but if you are young go for it. Why do the scuffer plugs not come with it? Aren't they essential? Thanks
That's a nice kayak lowkeyyy 🥳
Very underrated youtuber! Would recommend a better camera if u can afford one tho
Team Goliath that’s the goal eventually! Than you!
Thanks for the review, unfortunately the prices have gone up because of inflation and the budget kayaks like this one are not cheap anymore but it looks like you enjoyed yourself!
It’s a shame! But I appreciate your viewership and wish you the best! God Bless!
Still one of the cheapest, and evidently best for the price. Most fishing kayaks are over $800, and there's only a couple that are less than $1,000
WalMart link in your description show the price is now $315. I have been checking and they had been out of stock for a while. I guess they got more when they could raise the price.
Ron Scott I remember the price online being higher than in the store! I recommend trying to look around inside the stores!
@@ferda9019 Most of the stores I live near don't have kayaks. May have to do a more thorough search.
Great video man!
Whitewater Gypsy Thanks!
Thx for sharing man!
No Problem! God Bless! Any way I could pray for you?
Came across your video looking at kayaks and I live in Sumter. Great video. Still in Sumter?
I have since, moved from Sumter! God Bless!
Were the golf balls to prevent water from getting in the kayak?
Yeah, exactly! It’s optional! The downfall to the plugs is that water doesn’t drain out if it gets on top.
That's a noice yak!
Thanks!
The plugs you mentioned that weren't included, are they necessary?
No, they aren’t
What is your recommendation for line on your casting rod/real setup?
I like using P-Line Tactical 12lb Flourocarbon
Thanks, I’ll give it a try.
New rig ideas 🤔 I like it
Would you recommend this setup for a beginner kayak fisher wanting to get into the marshes back water I live in South east Texas so lots of brackish fishing. Thanks in advance.
You know, I’ve never fished with it in saltier water so I’m not aware of the types of corrosion that may occur! What I can tell you is that it’s been a sturdy kayak and it’s made with quality for the price. I believe that if you took care of it, it’d suit you well!
I also believe that the prices of these Kayaks have increased since making this video, so be aware of that!
good new channel
I’m looking forward to buying one can you stand up in em ? I’m a 110lbs
Great video
Thank You! I appreciate that!
Not that healthy of a pond haha.Those bass be lookin pretty gnarly.
You ain’t kidding 😂
Great review, ty:D
Cary VerHalen no problem! Thanks for watching!
i’m looking to buy this kayak but first i am seeing reviews and asking questions, and here is my question for you, when you board the kayak, does the kayak take on water?
tyler. Nope, the technique I use is to put the kayak half-way into the pond/lake, then I hop in and push myself the rest of the way off! I use scupper plugs to ensure no water comes from underneath as well!
Is there a in description below somewhere?? Where to purchase these kayaks that you're showing
Larry Simmons yes, In the video description
Awesome video, been wanting to get into kayak fishing and the link to your says it’s 278, did you catch Walmart on a sale? If so im going to wait for that sale again
When I checked online, it said it was $315 and when I went to the store it rung up as $278! Not sure if it was a sale or a mismatch!
i got mine at tractor supply co for 299.99. depends on tax but i got it for 310 with tax
Hello FERDA fishing that's nice kayak. I have a buddy that's looking for a kayak like this cheap budget for right now .do you know what the weight capacity is on that kayak.
Mack Jenkins the labeled weight capacity is 275lbs! I am 230 and normally carry 20 pounds of gear out with me and have no issues!
FERDA Fishing oh okay that's not bad. We don't carry a lot when we go fishing. I will pass this information to my buddy thank you so much.
Why do fishermen when using a spinning reel cast with right hand and reel with left, or vice versa, but when casting they cast with right hand then reel with right hand?
57strub haha I’ve wondered the same thing! Super interesting! I actually use both left and right handed reels for different things!
Just picked one up same color I just can’t seem to move around in it to grab gear any tips
I’ve seen little floating ice chests that you can attach to your kayak if needed!
i drag mine on the grass but not the concrete or rocks
DVVID yeah, it’s pretty sturdy on grass that I’ve noticed!
Cant even find these at walmart
Dang, that’s too bad! I’d look online!
I live in Iowa and bought this same kayak and same colored one you have in the video. I used it today on a lake for the first time, it was very windy so it was hard to paddle going into the wind. I got pretty wet with small waves hitting the kayak. I couldn't fish for the first two hours on the water because of the wind. But, later in the afternoon the winds died down and I was able to fish for a while. It felt strange to fish while sitting down. I really like the kayak, but I am pretty tired and sore for lack of kayaking. Overall, it was a great time and I can't wait to get out back on the water with my Tamarack Angler 100. Thanks for the video, what state was this video filmed in?
Jim Walker I’m happy that you enjoyed the video! I filmed this video in Sumter, South Carolina
How sturdy is it
Great video bro . I'm running an intex mariner 4 right now . I would like to get a kayak and get into kayak fishing tournaments.
I literally just bought one of these not too bad of a kayak I wish it came with a much better paddle though. Where did you get those plug's?
CATCH 22 FISHING they are actually foam golf balls from Walmart!
@@ferda9019 lol that's freaking awesome I'd have never thought of using that. I'm just now starting to get my channel up and going just waiting on my camera now so I can start filming.
CATCH 22 FISHING that’s awesome! It’s super fun!
@@ferda9019 yeah my goal is to use my channel to help people with PTSD mostly combat vet's, that's actually why I named my channel what I named it we lose on average 22 combat vets to suicide everyday, if I can reach even just 1 vet and help him or her I'll have succeeded in my mission though I plan on helping much more if I can.
whats that howling in the background?
What reel where you using
That one was just an Abu Garcia combo! Can’t remember the exact name but probably around the $60-70 price range!
is that rod holder removable if you just want to use it as a beach boat? Going back and forth between this one and the Pelican Bandit. About the same price.
Yeah, the rod holder pops right out
@@ferda9019 cool, maybe i could put a cell phone hold on it.
@@greensandbeansgaming1358 yo, that’d be dope!! God Bless ya!
@@ferda9019 ya probably one for a bike, made to attach to handlebars might work good.
@@ferda9019 They have a shipping date for a month and a half for that boat. How long did it take you to get yours?
That same kayak is now 400 🥺
Rip
Is that a good kayak to use in the intracoastal?
Honestly, not too sure! But I know it’s intention is for ponds!
I am thinking about getting this exact yak and exact color ,do u need to buy the plugs so it dont sink?
Nope, the plugs are meant to keep the water out from coming up through the bottom. You don’t need them but I like having them!
@@ferda9019 thanks where do u buy the plugs at ?
They are foam golf balls that I found at Walmart!
I’m about 250 lbs would this hold me and gear safely lol
At the time of filming, I was about 220. It held me just fine!
@@ferda9019 I might give it a go looking into kayak fishing and I have lots of places for it around me.
How tall are you? I noticed your legs were right to the edge. Want to make sure I’m not uncomfortable if I get this same kayak.
Macy Hawkes haha yeah! I’m 6’3”
Hey did it come with plugs for those two hole?
Negative, there are six locations for scupper plugs that I filled with foam golf balls
FERDA Fishing thanks for the reply 👍I like the Yak but alittle water does get in
