Marty, I just wanted to thank you for all the effort and creativity that is shared through your videos. I started watching you when you had the red 8’ kayak. Those videos inspired me to buy a Pelican Rally 80x (8’4” I think). It’s an eyesore blue & orange and I get lots of odd looks from other kayakers and boaters. Fortunately, the fish don’t care how silly I may look in such a tiny kayak. The best part is I can carry it with one hand AND I can fit the entire thing and INSIDE a Toyota Corolla. I call it my Clown Car Kayak😂. It looks like my car’s giving birth at the launch but within 2 minutes, Im underway. 33 mpg car, 34 lb kayak, quick deployment… hard to beat that combo.
Marty appreciate all you do..thanks to you I got into kayaking with my pelican kayak..fishing being my passion..I enjoy fishing from the kayak..also have a pelican bass raider 10E and a lil over a year ago I bought a Tracker Panfish 16 also to fish..but also to load up kayaks and go spring hunting. Appreciate you sharing the real Florida to the masses. Oh before I forget..love to see you go wild on a bass raider and trick one out.
Thanks for sharing your video with us. I’ve been following you since the little red kayak days. You’re the main reason I own a couple of kayaks today. It’s so good to see how far you’ve come Marty. God Bless you my friend.
When I had my kayak, I was quite content paddling. Then when I got me a pedal kayak, you could not pay me enough to paddle. Then I got a trolling motor. I don't even.... I clocked like a 1,000 miles on R3 and Minn Kota 30. It changes you in ways you never knew possible. It just fixes the stuff that makes kayaking less enjoyable when not going down the river with a vehicle to pick you up. I can zoom about 11 miles using trolling motor and come back to the dock 70% power left in battery and full of energy to do other things. Kayaking is the way of life, that's for sure.
I love your humility Marty but don't discredit yourself. It's your willingness to bring us along on your journey chasing your dreams and everything in between that brings us back. If I'm being honest, I live vicariously (just a little) through you so, thank you sir!
Gotta have my motor. I purchased the 2023' new J2 Bixpy PP 768. Can't wait to set her up on my kayak. I Love purchasing new toys for the boat. Once a year, she gets treated. But glad I do have my fin drive, and I do paddle around my spots. I don't want to rely on just the motor. The new Bixpy with the bigger battery will run at approx 4.5 mph, for over 2 hrs straight. But speeds 8 to 9 the battery will last more than 24 hrs, if and when I do my camp and fishing trips. Epic sport, and today's kayaks are truly one man fishing machines. And everyone has their own setup. 🎣 🙏 🌊 🐟
Marty, does Pelican have a locator showing which stores have what? I'm in North Alabama looking for a Catch 110 Mode and having no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks for all your videos, love them all.
Thanks Marty, your videos are second to none of how to make use of Pelican products. I have been watching your channel now for several years now. I'm glad Pelican came up with this idea on their new kayak product. Wish they would do a catch 130 build like this model. That would be the bomb. A craft large enough and absolutely stable for persons with disabilities and would be better choice on larger lakes. Here I have Lake Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend which are huge lakes that get extremely rough when the winds are strong from a direction just right to be wrong. Protected coves are best, but you have to power through to get there. For my use the bass raider is probably the best choice for me. The bass raider is probably one the most stable of any Pelican product. Enjoyed the video. 73 and GOD bless, Earnest K5EWM.
You should definitely do more with this kayak. I’m in south texas and we have a lot of shallow marshes. This would be a great kayak for that to stand on the seat platform and site fish.
Thanks for the ideas. I built a prototype transom for my catch 130, it's welded using mild steel, and now it is rusted. I like that you can get the pelican transom, I might get that and fit it onto my catch 130
Yup, necessary in Florida. Once upon a time, just having an electric trolling motor didn't require registration in Florida, but that ended as population and number of vessels grew....
I just put a 24 volt 110 lb thrust trolling motor on my L4 expedition and it's so fast and strong it crazy, have fun buddy look forward to seeing you again soon hope all is well.
I have watched your videos for years, so thank you for taking the time to keep feeding us great content and photography. I have a favor to ask. Is there any chance you could talk Pelican into getting you a Pelican Covert 120 for testing and a review? It is sold only by Tractor Supply, and I wondered how it compared to the CATCH CLASSIC 120 fishing kayak. It could be very close, but maybe it is way short of the CATCH CLASSIC 120 fishing kayak. I trust your knowledge and I am looking to see if it is as good of a basic platform for beginners and can it grow with mods into a nice river/lake fishing kayak. Thank you so much for your time and hopefully (Hint, Hint Pelican) for your review.
A fun thing you could feature would be a bow fishing set up. Mullet are a great target for that type of thing and they're good eats if you haven't ever had one. I like them smoked.
I've been following you since 2010 what's going on with your channel man I hate I hate to lose somebody like you I enjoy you so much and your adventures because you do always have a new one coming on thanks Marty
Love the accessories option from Pelican. I just purchased a Catch 100 used and saw Marty's video. I tried to use the Marty_20 code when purchasing a rudder, rudder lever and the foam padding for your feet and the website said none of my accessories qualified for that discount. :( oh well - I still ordered them and can't wait to install. Thanks Marty! been watching since the poor man kayak vids.
Nice one Marty! I've been thinking about a Pelican or Old Town Kayak for a couple of years, but the problem here in the UK is the prices. Kayaks here (when you can find a quality USA one) are about 80% more expensive than they are in the USA. In one instance, a UK seller was charging near twice as much for an old model as the new one that was being promoted on TH-cam. Puts me off buying. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Great video Marty! Like this Kayak a bunch for it's options, curious what type of battery you used with this motor. Great to see you out kayak fishing again. Time to go shopping!
Just noticed google says your shop is closed. Is there a video I missed? I hope its wrong! Can't tell you how much pleasure your ventures have brought.
I love all your videos you have just a very good spirit lots of respect , I hope I do all of this mods to my catch 110 as well learning tons from your videos , blessings 🙏🏻
Man this looks like the perfect kayak for me since watching your video I think I'm about to buy one. Just worried about one thing I've heard the pelican plastic is thin and flexible and cheap feeling but I've owned one before and it felt good to me so I think I'm just gonna get it anyways .thanks for the video !
Just came across your channel. Recently bought a used trident 11 and have never stepped into a kayak of any kind . I have boated and used canoes before. It has no upgrades completely stock. Looking to see what is possible with this type of kayak. Used to fish a lot when I was younger with a really good friend who passed away 3 years ago. I stopped going fishing . Trying to plan how to set this kayak up.
Really need a remote to steer the boat. I am not as limber as most and twisting and contorting to steer the vessel is a pain. There needs to be more options when it comes to steering across the board with all "trolling" motors. I hesitate to call them trolling motors as many of us rely on them to propel us in the water even when we are NOT trolling.
That’s nice to have a motor and definitely the way I would setup mine the only thing Is I feel that a trolling motor on a kayak should be mounted on the side 🤙. I would personally put a 2x6 with 2 plastic pipe that would fit in the rod holder on the back that would be way less awkward to steer wouldn’t it ?? I wish manufacturers would think about this stuff and have a solution ready to go from the factory 😩.
One more question Marty. When your trolling motor is mounted on the transom on the Catch 110, how do you reach the release lever to raise and lower your motor. On the surface it seems too long a reach which is why people are counting them on the side. All knowledge appreciated.
Hey Marty do you know if I can connect the pelican transom mount to the pelican classic catch yak? I already know you can on the mode, but wondering about the classic model? Thanks
I went to pelican site, and for some reason their website said they can't ship to my home in Birmingham AL. ? Wtf? Marty did you have the kayak shipped? Or did you pick up somewhere? Thanks for your videos!
Hey Marty great video!! And is there a reason why your discount code it’s working because I tried to buy the transom plate and cart with your code and it’s saying it invalid ???
Marty, will that work on Pelican 110 HDII...! I have a transom electric motor bought in 2020 but, I can't seems to make that work... Any advise or ideas to helps me how to make a simple modification.. Thanks in advance
Hey Marty ! Good stuff. I want to add the Bixpy hand steering to the Catch Mode 110. Do you have any good advice for feeding the tubes through the hull since there are no well holes?
Hey bud hows it goin, love ur videos. I know its a long shot, but is there anyways you could get me a MH10 rudder lever control? Of so please let me know. Thanks!

When you put a motor on a kayak or 5 pole holders etc... Just get a boat. At some point, you're sitting on top of a hundred upgrades being kept afloat by something that was once a kayak 🙄
I really love that you are still producing kayak videos. When I was first getting into the sport I binged watched almost your entire library
Thats me rn

I give you props! You have alot of great ideas.Very creative Mr. Marty..
i know that " oh man" when you get off the kayak at the end of the day , i say the same thing , thankful my body still allows me to do it .
This looks like a great kayak setup

I have a 130 pelican. I put a 30lb thrust trolling motor in the center where my petal drive is. Works very good. Been watching you forever a while

Ty for the promo code amigo! Really helps! Fish on
We have to register our kayaks and put numbers on the boat when we put a motor on it in Tennessee
I think they do the same thing here in Ohio .. they could have changed the rule tho ..
Same in Florida gas and electric
Pennsylvania requires registration and numbers.
And in Puerto Rico the same , registration and numbers on the Kayak. Bought the Newport 36 pound of trust for my little kayak..
Yup, necessary in Florida. Once upon a time, just having an electric trolling motor didn't require registration in Florida, but that ended as population and number of vessels grew....

Nice addition, down side is now it has to be registered.
Another awesome video. I have a 13' kayak, may be time to get a more manageable one (Pelican!!!!)
Beautiful trip.
What battery do you use and where do you place it on the Catch?

Very nice !!!
What about this hurricane this week are you gonna document it through your channel and what about your house boat
What about for the roundabout trolling motor what else that you have to have with you
Marty. How much money do you have in a kayak set up like that with trolling motor included? I want to get out there but can't afford to much
I got ice rod, jig stick, ready
How long does the battery last
Hey Marty do you know if I can connect the pelican transom mount to the pelican classic catch yak? I already know you can on the mode, but wondering about the classic model? Thanks

How wide is the prop head on that motor? Would it fit threw the Hydryve mount?

Nice vid. I hope I can adopt pelican products for my own kayak (not a pelican make). Thanks
Where did you get that handle for the motor extension
Upgrade online. 👍👍
I know its a year later, but I just bought this kayak. Could you resupply another discount code? That mount is ridiculously expensive.
Marty, will that work on Pelican 110 HDII...! I have a transom electric motor bought in 2020 but, I can't seems to make that work... Any advise or ideas to helps me how to make a simple modification.. Thanks in advance
Hi whats your case behind ? Thanks
Where are you located? Have a grandson near Tampa that would like to learn about kayaks and maybe canoes.
Hey Marty ! Good stuff. I want to add the Bixpy hand steering to the Catch Mode 110. Do you have any good advice for feeding the tubes through the hull since there are no well holes?
Used your discount code the other day and saved $40+. Viewers need to understand that you must total $200 or more for the code to work. Thanks !
Is a foot controlled motor an option?
How long is your handle extender
Hey bud hows it goin, love ur videos. I know its a long shot, but is there anyways you could get me a MH10 rudder lever control? Of so please let me know. Thanks!
Question I’m 6,1 270 lbs this kayak is good for me?
Marty are you on Nantucket Island now
Waw the best spoot 😍👍

Does anybody know if the mount works on the catch 100?
From the looks of each stern, no it would require modification.
