I’m glad I got to see this beautiful area and fish it

How much you pay for your Angler Pro paddle, $385? I tell you what I paid $200 out the door for a brand new one, that's right $200 brand new for a Bending Branches Angler Pro off eBay.

Well, I just got finished making a purchase on eBay for a Bending Branches Angler Pro- new/unused for $200 out the door. I'm glad a lot of people often don't check selling sites like Mercari or eBay 1st, so this gives me the opportunity to be the buyer on even a better savings most of the time.

do you know the date on the start of dam removal. My Boy is an Army Ranger down the road at Ft Benning and may try to fish it before the teardown.

no kuda/pike on this trip huh love your nrs videos I bought one and get ideas on from your videos on setups.

As a potential first time kayak buyer that lives in an apartment I've been really thinking about getting an inflatable. Since I will be primarily solo river fishing which do you feel one would work best going back against the current? I initially thought the Pike would be the best with its keel in the front but maybe the Kuda would be better since it is more floating on top of the rather?

Man one pretty area...let's hope for the best for those shoals.

In the short term it may hurt them but in the long run it cant do anything but help them.

I guess its due to the years since I have been to the Ga side but I don't remember the dam being that tall. I remember as a kid there were huge boulders below the shoals at crow hop that are now silted over.

I'm not educated on the issue, but how would removing a dam be bad for native shoal bass? Dams have been a problem for them. I get their will be an influx of silt for a bit.

Great video Chris. I'm sorry about your brother... great advice from him.

If you are looking at buying these things for your boat, DON'T!! I put these things on my brand new aluminum trailer to hold my boat, thinking that all f the "reviews" were good. After the VERY FIRST trip to the water, the next time out they became hard to release. I then took them off, sprayed them inside with corrosion X, lithium grease and even MAX WAX!! They made three trips to the water, after the third trip I had to cut the straps with my knife to release my boat from the trailer. I currently have two giant chunks of rusted together garbage to show for my money. DO NOT BUY, unless you like throwing your money away.

Nice video❤ and nice fish, my buddy says

Really like the idea of this type of rig. What are your thoughts of a multiday trip to the Okefenokee on the pike or kuda?

Hey Chris, awesome review and overview. I was wondering if you happen to have a link for the rod stagers you used. Thanks

Can you take good fish photos from that angle? Maybe I’d have to stand up and turn around?

Hi Chris, whats the best way to store it in terms of longevity? Pack it up or release some psi and keep it semi inflated? What to you think/know?

Im on almost my 2nd week of getting out of surgery , i was a pedestrian and hit by a drunk driver at approx 65mph. I broke my tibia and fibia in half, 26 y/o most painful shit ive ever gone thru just glad i survived , thanks for the video i look forward to recovering

That thing moves pretty well without a skeg

I've haven't had the pleasure of trying the Kuda yet, but standing in my pike isn't a issue.

I have both. Switch them up depending on what I’m doing. The GF prefers the Kuda when we both go.

Was out in my Kuda today on a local river in VA. I put the whitewater skeg in for the first time to try it. I took it out after dragging over a couple ledges (the rivers are real low here). Like you said, if you're in shallow rocky rivers, you're going to hit that thing constantly.

This is what I needed to hear i got back and ankle problems can’t stand for long periods of time wanted something I can still fly fish so I was looking at something I could sit down but not break the bank I wasn’t sure if u would since fly rod is way different watching you video reading comment it’s very doable and I’ll be looking a kayak I can enjoy

Great vid. I have the Pike 126 and love it 😊

I had a right tibial fracture schatzker 5 .fractured knee 2 broken bones ,did a orif surgery recieved 56 stiches along with plates and screws in my foot..its mentally draining .

Forgot to bring my skew along for my pike 126 on calm “pond” water. It was doable but I sure missed the tracking!

Good video. On rocky rivers I go no skeg, lakes- skeg it. Have you had issues with fishing puncturing the boat?

Always have a paddle leash and have it secondary attached to the boat. And thats far from a pool toy. NRS is the leading white water rafting outfitter. A solid boat would be in pieces in white water, but that inflatable will just bounce off rocks.

Great information! I have a couple of questions, I want to start planning a trip out there but I’m not sure how to begin. I’ve never camped, never done anything outdoors-like. I’m interested in the dark skies areas because I want to see the stars away from light pollution. Where do you suggest I begin? I’m not sure if this requires me canoeing or if I don’t need that. What skills should I learn ahead of time and what is the critical gear to bring with me?

I heard in a livestream that you preferred the Bite over the Yupik. Is there any particular reason? I have pretty much narrowed down my search to those 2.

I am so greatful to see your video..Before I was so depressed because of this I injury .Now I am at my 4 rth week and yet only a few light be steps I can do.hoping to be dancing also after 6 weeks.

Tibiaplateau Schatzker 6 here, August last year.. 11 weaks non weight bearing. Now I'm able to jump, run, 150+ degrees knee bend, no pain whatsoever. My bad leg is actually doing better than my good leg after strength tests at fysio. To all people who had the misfortune of getting this horrible fracture, keep up hope.. one step at a time, exercise, and you'll be OK.

I was riding a bike along the beach on Hilton Head Island. There was a pod keeping pace with me . When they surfaced in a jump I swore they were looking at me. Ha happened at dusk most nights on their way towards the south of the island. Amazing time.

Great video man. Just ordered one specifically to fly fish for smallies. Cant wait for it to arrive!

So grateful for your video Chris, which I stumbled upon looking for TPF info. My injury happened 4 weeks ago on a hike with my son, Slipped down a steep mountainside and fell on my TWICE previously injured right leg. I screamed and cried when it happened knowing the long slow road ahead due to previous ACL and meniscus tears in same leg. My rescue was very dramatic - due to the steep incline I had to be airlifted out by chopper via a rope winch. Bragging rights for life helps a bit! I sustained a medial and lateral TPF but thankfully no surgery required. Just out of straight splint into hinged but likely two more months plus on crutches. It's a long, hard, slow road, and devastating as I'm a Yoga teacher and had taken years to get this knee and leg back to almost normal after my last injury 6 years ago. However, I agree, that faith is our saving grace. Perhaps it's God's intention to truly show me what it means to SURRENDER. God bless you Chris.

I ordered a 25qt Friday for weekend camping on my farm

Nice video!

What is the brand of these? I like the screw down vs the piece of pipe. I'm concerned the pipe end might slide or move

what is the name of rod holders ( 3 rods) on your left hand side and the accessory in the middle?

What a fish Chris!!! Thank you Lord is right! 🙏😁

What a nice catch. Question do you still own your jackson take 2? And what kayak do you recommend for me 6”2 240lb and a small child around 45lb.

Love to see it

My man that hooch is near record size.

I had the opportunity to buy a used lime green kuda 126 an hour away, but it was sold out from under me. So, I bought the only display model pike 126 anywhere in Oregon (visiting from Idaho). I used it for the first time yesterday on Trillium Lake at the base of Mt. Hood and I really enjoyed the height of where the seat put me in the boat. Feel closer to the water, lower position of gravity, but still easy to get in and out of the seat at the shoreline or boat ramp. I'd like the weight and ease of folding the Kuda better than with my nose keel of the Pike, but the nose piece does help it track better through the water (less slap). From where I had to park (3x) yesterday, and how far we had to lug my boat with her lightweight paddleboard, I'm definitely investing in a kayak wheeled cart just in case. I was surprised at how fast the hand pump get everything inflated! The seat is quite comfortable for a big girl like me. I'll be adding handles on the side pontoons, and maybe a couple more YA mounting plates closer to the seat. The only other plus I saw with the Kuda is that my Whippet dog can walk around and stand on something like that better than the design of the 3-piece design of the Pike, but I still think the Kuda would have been more difficult to control (front end wag) when paddling harder in some wind that came through. Some great points to both boats, and some consessions.

Hey Chris, the bug net and rain tarp. Were those something that we once offered by boonedox? I’m about to buy a drifter but can’t find anything on their site for those two items.

Great tip sir!!! 👍👍

Got my Kuda 126 out for the first time today for a single point access on a local river that is very low. It's amazing how shallow it drafts and how easy it is to get moving. I've heard Jeff and others say it, but you have to experience the way it floats on top of the water to truly understand how different it is from rotomolded kayaks.

I’m just about to have surgery because I totally crushed that bone and I’m 29 weeks pregnant!!

Been using inflatables for years-Leaks-no problem- clean-glue-patch-repeat-lol

Great video. Been looking at one of these been trying to find someone that has a power pole on one
