DISCLAIMER: I’ve had all brands of trolling motors fail on me before (long time subscribers know) so this is not a knock on the Move at all. Still a super solid trolling motor! Unfortunately mechanical issues are just apart of the game.
It’s the ones without boats that thinks it’s throwing shade. Because having installed all major brands except Move YET…. But I’m sure someone will bring me one to install. But I’ve seen them all fail.
You have terrible luck with trolling motors you can’t get a break 😂 I have the move and love it. People without boats don’t know mechanical issues are just a part of it
Ky/barkley -My local lakes Carolina rig big green pumpkin lizards , flip big brush hogs on cypress stumps. Little bear and big bear creek also Johnathon creek.
I was fishing w/ Denny Brauer when his trolling motor failed. I was shocked when he pulled out a completely new unit out of his second-rod box! Changed it out in 5 minutes!. (old Johnson ) in 92 on the Potomac.
Even if you carried a cheaper backup, when this much money is on the line, it’s stupid for these guys not to have a spare! Learned this from the one and only KVD!
That's how it goes good days great days but it's the bad days that suck but keep the video coming because still want to watch good or bad days love the video
Back in the 60s and 70s we didn't have a trolling motor but my father could take a paddle and from the bow of the boat move it everywhere. I tried to do it but couldn't. He had his left bicep blown off at anzio so he was very strong in right arm.
During covid i had time again to travel back east to fish the womens tour, first tourney since the 90's, the event was at Hartwell, it had sprinkled on us the night before and i had the cover off prepping rods, first tournament morning lowered trolling motor and nothing worked, my control board in the ultrex was fried, tried drift fishing all day but that was futile! The days of having a second trolling motor with you are gone with the cost of everything now! Luckily there is an awesome minn kota service center at Hartwell that had the board and fixed me up for the next days fishing!
50 years of experience when it's windy and muddy in spring I work up and down the same bank shallow slow rolling a s o inner bait and then a heavy dropshot with a flashy 6 inch baby bluegill roboworm and thena sink the same color beleave me it works its a clear worm but very flashy like a disco ball WI d blown banks are best work slow with lo.ts of vibration have caught 35+ lb limits this way
BEEN THERE DONE THAT BROKEN TROLLING MOTOR IN A THREE. DAY TOURNMENT ON KY. LAKE ANCHORED IN A SPOT THAT HAD 3 LB SPOTTED BASS ON IT & CAUGHT A LIMIIT BACK IN THE 80S& 90S 4LB SPOTS WERE NOT UNCOMMON
Hm…. Interesting. I don’t have a trolling motor either. Have a beat up 2011 Sentra though. Can’t get to “good bass lakes”. But gets me pond hopping in central Florida and I regularly catch 7+ pounders. No googan bait sponsorship, no stacks and stacks of pre rigged overpriced gear. Just one ugly slick and a baitcaster in my hands and the wife constantly texting when I’m gonna be home 😜.
Yes, it did suck. I hope PP warrantied it. Plan is going for one next season. Fortrex is a great Dinosaur but I like the weight and size of the expensive one.@@ChristianGreico
gotta tell you dude, those aren't 2 footers where you're starting. so i think your 4 footer estimate is probably way off too. the waves are dying out as they blow into the shallow water there and when you panned out into the wind and deeper water those waves were a foot of less. when you caught your 2 pounder those waves were 6 inches or less. i've spent most of my recent fishing years on lake erie and on a 20 mph breeze and in open water the waves are predictably in the 3 - 4 feet range and usually very fishable. many times we've been fishing and the wind comes up, but if were on the fish even 30mph and 4-5 footers we'll stay out. where you caught the little ones, that was 1 foot or less, nothing to complain about.
Yeah I was over exaggerating on the 2 footers but the main lake did have some serious waves. And those waves up north are much more manageable to fish in. I’ve fished in some pretty big waves on Champlain and the STL River
Consider: Prices for most things have gone up 30%-100% in the last four years. Top shelf trolling motors are computers that integrate with your other boat electronics and Bluetooth wireless remotes and have amazing GPS. They are also state of the art electronic motors made of exotic materials that have to survive a harsh marine environment, weather extremes year round and unbelievable pounding and vibrations when on the water and on the road while being towed. But, I just don’t know how so many fishermen can come close to making the money for this Sport that just keeps getting more and more expensive!
@@muskietime by being dedicated and putting literally everything in unless you got a family with the money backing you up all ik is I see the boys I was in high school tournament now trying to go pro and going pro cause there family had money to pay for them to get it me on the other had fishing bass nation tournaments where one person every year gets that chance to go pro and you got to be the pro that one it the year before as well it’s not easy when your doing it yourself when you got the family company behind you it’s a lot easier
@@muskietime Did your income go up 30-100% in the last 4 years? Companies are charging because people are dumb enough pay (due to financing 95% of new bass boats)
@@ChristianGreico loved my catch commander till the numbers on the screen have acted up. Half the number reads, an 8 looks like a 3 and 9s look like 4s lol. I think dropping it in the livewell wasn’t the play. 😂
Cant let it get you so depressed. Its not the end of the World. Just do twice as good on the next one. Get you about 100 crickets, and find you a bluegill bed and have you some fun rippin lips! But you'll catch big bass too!
Boy talk about morals n ethics ! Don’t care if I knew the guy or not he had his power poles down and to go in and throw across and in front of another angler is BS ……….
One cal wouldn’t say …. If he had a mouth full . He is that kind of guy . And friend or not a lot may not say anything . You had nothing but desperation in your voice trying to cover it with your lil lafter . You is what is wrong with pro fishing bud . And what if that would been you on the other foot would you have been as calm as cal ? No way so don’t even say it ! Been around this sport all my life . Another thing real anglers don’t need spot lights !
He told the guy to throw at that bush because that’s where he got bit then they talked about leaving it vs sharing it. No harm, no foul. Especially in that kind of make or break of a league you share with people. Info, areas, baits, and sometimes spots. It’s not what it was before and even to compare it as such from someone that does vs does it for a living are two completely different circumstances. I marshal the Elites a lot and it’s just how it is because they know your career depends on it just like theirs and helping one another every now and then, especially when somebody is having it rough, could in turn save you when you’re not doing good. As for the screen watcher comment, that’s where I give up with the politeness much past “if you don’t like it then don’t watch it” but honestly just cry harder. Every new technology has been the “end of bass fishing as we know it”. 🙄
I used to think that way, I have a 40hp outboard on my boat. It’s like me crying that you have a 300hp. If it’s legal you gotta have it to be competitive.

I assume Power Pole sent you a new one by now...right?
I remember watching you change out an ultrex back to a fortrex on the water. Wild stuff man

I have seen the same problem with the move. It loses connection from the foot pedal

Wow that's what you call being on your A game.
Lots of guys carried a spare in the boat back in the day or had one in their truck. Gotta be ready.
When TM's only cost about 600.00 it was easy to do. Now days, no way unless you are highly sponsored.
@@Redskin4ever Man that's the truth. I just had to replace mine last year and that hurt the pocket.

Where you at the Lebanon Tennessee for the boat show
No
That’s why I still have a cable drive trolling motor.
What was wrong with the Move? Also, what is the little rod on top of the head?
Steering unit. It’s a pointer from dd22 to help line up casts with livescope
@@ChristianGreico Thx!

How you feeling about that Ikon?
It’s an amazing boat!
i just seen you in north carolina 😊 i waved at u
Tough crowd. You still diggin those Trika rods?
Oh ya! They are awesome rods!
Some company needs to bring back the Evinrude trolling motor , and make it the same design
Right? The all metal design was tops!
Yea they were such crap that's why you don't see them anymore.

When i buy a trolling motor, i buy 2! Fishn Toyota series i dont need a bad day..
You have deep pockets. I wana be like you one day.

Never give up.
When fishermen quit buying those expensive
Equipment maybe the price will go down.
Click bait
You will come back 😊
So sorry. Well on to the next
I refuse to pay 5k for a TM ain't no way
Maybe not 5k but 2.5-3 for at least spot lock is worth it

I see you switched to the Bubba scale. Is that a sponsorship thing or do you just like it better than the catch commander?
MLF requires us to weigh on it since they are a league sponsor. I still use the catch commander and trust the weights it shows me vs the bubba
