Thanks for the awesome tips Mr. JT Could you please put a link or the name of the pants that you recommended so I can get the right pair from Walmart or Amazon? I did not see the link in the description and want to make sure I get the right ones to stay cool Thanks again, brother

How does the green pumpkin dye look?

Can you link where you got the rock guard?

Wonderful film!

Beautiful spot and nice looking Bucket you caught. Too bad you didnt find your smallmouth. I never knew they were more elusive in southern Indiana. If you ever get the chance, try out the Eel River or Wabash in Cass Co. There's an abundance of 15-20" smallmouth.

Shimano needs to have a better warranty other than that great rods

bro everyone in comments is dumb it seems.. you dont average a weight of a fish by its length only... you can average one by its length and girth.. lol and thats pretty much basics with most fish. why? because one 23" can be super skinny and starving.. another could be 23" and super fat.. and then the best 23" is super fat filled with eggs also. now if people are saying there arent smallmouth in that area then i have no clue about that. but in california there was a very famous cheater mike long. and he had access to lakes at night which those lakes were closed at nights. and he would catch big fish and cheat in tournaments ect. he actually even took a big fish from one lake and claimed to have caught it at another lake. and he still holds a record for that fish. also castaic lake california used to not have stripers now its full of them.. it also never had smallmouth but before i moved from there we were catching smallmouths and my best from there before i moved was a little over 3lb. and supposedly they had only been illegally planted there for a couple years.

Those Oakleys are really great. I use that same pair to fish Muskie

Those wrangler pants are way more affordable than Simms pants for the budget minded fisherman like myself

I want to know if anyone has hauled in a 55” Muskie in a fishing kayak?

Great job install! I’m thinking about getting one, this one is the best I’ve seen yet! Great video! Thx Gramps! lol I just subscribed! You da Gramps! Keep the faith brother Gramps!👍🥸🙏

Timely. Just had squamous cell removed from outside of nose and basal cell removed from inside. Dermatologist stated the only way she could explain basal cell inside my nose was from reflected light off the water while fishing. Go figure..

Awesome boat, i can see why some are appealed to it while some aren't. For me, I'll stick to my outdated autopilot 120. For my fishing style, it suits me better as i don't fish heavy flowing rivers. I'll wait to see what old town will have offer in the future. Hopefully a autopilot gen 2. So far Old Town is still #1 in motorized kayak. No one has yet to make a kayak that comes with spot lock motor. Everything most be out sourced and diy while Old Town is just plug and play. The XTR is a beast though. There will be people in the market for it 100%

The XTR130 is sweet! That said, as someone who uses a roof rack and a cart to get around, my back tells me it's not a good idea 🤣 Doesn't mean I won't be testing it out as soon as I can at MWO!

What do these run?

I have been saving for a pwr129 and all the stuff I would need to rig it out. Definitely gonna go for the 130 now this thing is a BEAST!

Why wasn’t the XTR130 available for the people to test at Icast 2024? That wilderness assassin would have been getting rocks thrown at it if the xtr130 was present and in the mix!

Thanks Gramps sounds exciting! Susquehanna river! Ooo have fun!

It's hybrid of a Jon boat, bass boat, and fishing kayak. I call it a Gene boat.

This and the new Wilderness rig have me giddy to get into a yakht!

He stole this video from wired 2 fish...

THANK YOU! Can't tell you how many videos I had to watch to answer one of my questions you are literally the only one that showed the answer to my question God bless you

The XTR130 is _the_ craft I've been searching for since i started getting into kayak fishing. The ability to get my kiddo out on the boat with me and my big boy self is priceless. Throw in the possibility to stand on the deck and im sold.

When are you getting yours JT ??

😂😂😂

You ready for the susky? Were part are you fishing?

yes sir

Oh yes the kayak I am nicknaming the battleship!

I swear Hans used battleships as a source of inspiration when designing the profile. Same for the PWR129. Love how they look on the water.

It’s a nice kayak for sure and for the people who say just buy a boat.I say shut up and fish it doesn’t make a difference what you do it out of.You do you 😂

It’s a cool fishing platform but not one that appeals to me and the waters I fish . I can see why people would love it though

After watching Gene doing a walk-around of the XTR130, it's the 1st boat I'd even consider getting in.

In my experience,23” is not going to get you 8# of smallie.I DNR’d a smallmouth from Kent Lake in MI,it was 23” and quite thick,but weighed in at 5# 10 oz.He said it was the biggest he’d seen come out of there.Caught a 23”er on the Tippecanoe years ago,but it wasn’t as thick.Probably 5#.Two biggest smallies I have ever caught.I’ve had a couple on that I’m sure we’re IN records,hooked in the US Steel landfill impoundment behind the LMichigan wall,west of Miller Beach.Water crystal clear,had each on for a long time before I got a look at them and lost them both as they turned and tried to go back to their deep hideaway.Ive caught a lot of 20”ers in there.I’ve also seen some monsters cruising off the lake side of the wall,but the wouldn’t take anything.

Smart vid Gramps! I like to hydrate up a day before if its going to be a hot one. In Northern VA it has been 90-100 for a month or more.

Hey I have a question. I know you used to be bigger and you said you don’t stand on your yak. The question I have is how did you switch rods? I’m 5’9 350lbs and yes I can sit and fish. But I’m a bit scared to turn around. Im guessing your gonna say it takes time and confidence since I’ve been out only 3 times. But appreciate the tips if you can give any.

I've caught them in Dale Hollow over 6 lbs that seems a little short for a 8 plus.

Thanks man I’m still trying to get the hang of the wacky rig

Such a variety of great reminders!

Very nice setup ,JT.....but, can it catch fish

Great info & tips, thanks 👍👊

This deserves way more attention who is with me

Lots of great info JT. The only one I don't do is the gloves. Just haven't found a pair I love.

my wife got me a usb neck fan it works really good

great video and great information!! have a good evening and weekend. thank you for sharing!

Solid list.

Great information Gramps thanks
