NICE! I myself don't want the center 2/3rd's of the stern cluttered with anything to fix on the motor or land those BIG PIGS! 😁

Just what I was looking for. Thank you sir!

That looks great!!

Great work!

the classic set up nice

great project

Awesome

That is sweet I really like that GREAT JOB 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I really like this back of boat set up good for a bunch of activity’s

Awesome job. 👍🏻👊🏻

I really like the rod Idea. Super strong for those big boys.

Useing the rod holders to bolt down the rod rack is a great idea....good thinking sir.

Looking good man! Cant wait for you to take it out fishin!

Looks great. Can't wait to see it in action.

Coming along real good👍🏼

Awesome work! Can't wait to see the new boat in action.

Simple but perfect.

Great job Hagen, you the man!!!

Great looking rod holder man. Can't wait to see it in use.

Great looking rod rack !!!! Really enjoy your channel..Keep ‘em coming friend !

Just like downtown! Wire in a spot light on both ends for night fishing. Looking good...

Nice, neat, no fuss, rodholder, just how I like things.

Nice job! Nice workshop too.

Great work.Thank for sharing my fren

Good job. Keep up the good work.

Looks awesome

Great rod rack build. Light weight with the aluminum but yet plenty strong. Smart switching to steel so you could weld it for your uprights. Looking forward to the next one and seeing you get out and slay them in this new boat

I love those older cc boats

Nice job Hagen, it's coming along very nice. I can't wait to see it on the water!

Looks great Hagen 👍🇺🇸

That turned out GREAT !!!! Can't wait until you get this on the water.

Good job bud !!!!!

WoW! Outstanding. Enjoyed the video and the boat looks great!

i love it wanna put one on my tracker classic tired of short rod holders and reaching down to get my rod

Dude nice shop! The truck is sweet, I’m restoring an old 83 Chevy right now. The boat and rod holders are nice too. Keep it up.

Excellent choice on the design of the rod rack. It looks awesome and appears to be rock solid!

Nice 👌

I have been watching diy rod rack videos looking for ideas and I think I'm going to build this one. Looks great and it's a straight forward build.

Nice work Hagen. Looks good.

Looks good brother! Really enjoy the videos. I hope to do more videos this year!

Good job young man! Love your passion and thriftyness. Boat looking great. Enjoy watching you and your son catching the big 'uns! Keep the videos comming.

Awesome job bud 👍🎣🇺🇸

Nice! 👍🏼👊🏻

Looks good.

First! AWESOME rod rack Sir!

Hi my friend, this is another great video as always. Man Hagen your channel is really doing great, congratulations. Keep up the great fun/ work. Thanks for sharing your videos with America 🇺🇸

Man that’s old derby car metal right there!!

Great work, man. The removable rod rack on my bass boat and the one I built for Heath's boat are both light steel sides with aluminum crossbar. Haven't had anything come close to killing it yet, and yours is built much tougher than ours.

Very nice Hagen! Awesome rack! Nice shop too!

Never did alot of catfishing. But I really enjoy it. Cool videos.

fine rod rack looking forward to seeing it action keep the videos coming

Looks amazing my friend

nice weld, if i don't get home soon and get out on water i may go crazy, your channel and couple others is all i watch when i'm out of town. one time i was gone 4 months i just got home went ahead and drove out to shop and hooked up boat and pulled around well that didn't go well with wife lol, probably the best one i did i was gone couple months told my wife i'm nearly to town it was around lunch time, heck i just stopped by house hooked up to boat cause lake was on the way to her work so i pulled into her work she came out and all she said is "this is ridiculous". lol i smoothed it over later came home and cooked some catfish lol. oh heck she put up with me 30 years so far, when she says stuff like that she just wanting to have a conversation with her husband i've mastered the art of looking like i'm listening.

Nice job.

Looks good man. A country boy can get things done.

Looks good budro. Im a fabricator too, fabbed up most the stuff on my boats. Another good video. Keep up good work

Hope all is well Hagan! Fellow Kentucky boy here, fairly new to catfishing, always did mostly crappie and bass, got me a pontoon last year I want to set up for catfishing. This is an awesome rod holder, I want to do something similar for my boat, thanks so much for sharing. On another note, if you ever do a subscriber fish along, I would love to be on the list😂🎣 always look forward to your videos 👍

Really nice Hagen.

Great job on the rod holders. I know this is old but video but wanted to let you know I enjoyed it.

Good video, that merc and h.d. Rod rack will be strong enough to hook a tow harness to and pull your son on tube.

Good video... and you sure do have a nice place to work in as well.

looks great. now i just need to get me one built and convince my brother-in-law to do the welding up.

You can make me one Hegan. It looks good my man. I love to go fishing with you anytime. Have good one.

Awesome job...someone can run a bead!

That piece of aluminum is what I'm needing 😁😁

Nice bro good job 👍

Hagen, Brother, that boat and the rod rack is awesome. Was real cool your workplace gave you the aluminum top channel. Wish I had a shop like yours, too. Go slay ‘em, man!!!! I see a new PB coming your way!

Great video man! You have some skill for sure. I'm in the process of buying a house with a big shop, then I can really get detailed with my projects. That's one thing about catfishing, you have to be a little creative. It requires so much gear and you need to be organized. Great looking boat man!

That's so bad ass bro, can't wait to fish with you. If that your garage? That's a huge workspace!

I took a truck inner tube and cut it to the size of the baseplate and put between baseplate and the gunnel to stop corrosion.

for your bait tray you could put a boat pedestal seat that turns and mount your cutting board on top of that then just pull it out of the hole when you want to clean it

Man after my own heart, needs rod rack, builds barge tow bar! LOL I call it, building for drunk.--strong enough that if your 230lb buddy has one too many, he still can't tear it up.

Leave a bolt in those nuts when you weld them on.. keeps the slag out

Your welds look a heck of lot better than mine ever do, lol.

Bad ass

Hi. Thanks for showing what ya did. I just got my first boat. And all I fo is catfish. I hoping bti get in the cats this year. I was going to go the route of purchasing a rod rack but with how high the price is and me being able to do what you have done. Changing a few things. I'm going to mount onto the bracket for the lund sports track so I can take it off and on for winter storage. I have found a piece of aluminum. To get it shipped to my door and the size I need it to be. It is less than a 100 bucks. The size Size: 3 x 1.498 .258....6160 standard channel You had made a comment that the thickness of your was over kill. Is this adequate in thickness to make a rack out of or doni need to go larger for this piece. Thanks Tommy

If you need any aluminum welding done, I can do it for you. Rack looks real good, better than the pics I sent you of what I built. I should have used heavier aluminum

Looks good and sturdy, wonder if an eighty pounder will make it wobble. I'd say it's ready to fish.

Nice build . I’m gonna borrow your idea if you don’t mind .

Like that a lot buddie

looks grate man i see you got that GARMIN on there over all looking grate i do all my own stuff as well just a suggestion id ditch that rubber mat on the floor as a catfish boat its going to hold everything we run the flat horse stall mats there a solid mat that way if you decide to put a wash down pump on the boat makes it easier to clean i think my wash down kit was $65 or $80 off amazon a 70psi kit easy to install and clean everything right there on the boat also grate for them hot days/nights a little cool water over your hands/arms always cools you down as dirty as things can get fishing there good to have on the boat

They should have given you the rod holders!!!!

Great video. I am really looking forward to how you do your windshield since I need to do something too.

I wonder if harbor freight alumiweld would work for one of these?

I like watching your videos! Those rods are nice. The medium action will be great for a variety of catfish. I have a question. What is the model and length of your Monarc boat? I'm looking to buy a boat and I really like your new boat. It's not to big but plenty of room. I also live here in Kentucky. Thank you!

Which Monark boat is that? I've been looking for a decent boat to do some catfishing in that won't break the bank. Lol

You did a great job!! Did you say that long piece of aluminum was already cut like that or did you have to cut that one side? If so how did you? Thanks. Enjoyed the video.

Nice job and nice video. On a side note, where did you find that big circle hook for your hat? I have a J hook one but have never seen a circle one on a hat. Thanks

That goes for any if you guys that are friends with hagan

Nice I made my own to. My question is about you bait board. I use a cutting board were do u get yours.

Not a bad set up you gonna add the lights and all that extra stuff ?

How did you attach base plates to gunnel? Thanks!

Is that your shop.Nice.

How much is the total cost parts ?

your rod holder very nice, do you make it or buy it sr, thanks

What are the snaps you use to fasten your sinkers on with called

So what parts were aluminum and what parts steel

What are the angles of the rod holders you ordered?

Do a diy rod rack without having to weld

What degree are your rod holders ?
