Literally the only Bass tracker I’d ever own. They actually put effort into these boats.

you are awesome! first time ive seen your videos. i grew up using that stuff. two thumbs up!! i could watch your stuff all day.

Man, these old school pieces of equipment are cool to see for someone who didn't grow up around serious bass fishing and never saw any of this stuff except on tv.

I’m 42 and this stuff makes me think of my grandfather’s bass boat. I learned on this stuff, I didn’t understand it at the time but still good memories. Love the show.

This is incredible! You completely went 99% old school, (deduction of 1% for the Googan Baits and Cell Phone). You are a true American Fishing Hero, this video is awesome!

Wow I owned a tackle store and boat dealership back in the late 80s and sold all that equipment. Thank you for taking me back

Still dial the 800 number just for the classic feel. Remember setting and watching my dad call and place his order for the spring, couldn't wait to make that first call myself.

Thank you. You made me love my new bass boat and current electronics even more!! No going back. That rig should be in a museum. Great job.

Ferris Bueller reference, ha! This video had me reading up about the original Bassmaster Classic boats. I fish out of a flat back Osage canoe which I adore. But if I had a crack at one of the original Rebels or Rangers I’d be hard pressed to say no! Love your mods. The Humminbird reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica Cylon robot.

I'll bet Chris is one hell of a fun dude to hang out with. No question about it.

This is great!! I used to look through all of those old catalogs!

The good ol days, when Tracker was built in Lebanon and the trailers in Camdenton Mo.

I flippin love these videos... I love how you are reely enjoying the bass history and living in the past with all of it... All the best partner

You need to keep an eye out for a bass fishing "computer" that was on the market for a time. I've forgotten who made it I had one, but the only reason I had it was I worked at a tackle shop where the thing had been on the shelf for months. Finally the owner told me to take and get it out of the place if I wanted it.. It was about the size of an old paper chart recorder and was intended to be mounted on the dash. You entered the information, time of the year, water temp, water color and such, and in theory it would tell you what and where to fish. In practice it was almost as accurate as guessing, but it was a cool piece of stuff to have. Edited to add. It was called a Basstronics. Roland Martin and Bill Dance pitched it on their TV shows. And a PH meter. Another of Loren Hill's brainstorms. Another thing to add weight to your boat.

Great memories. My first bass boat was a 1984 Tracker 1, 15' with a Mariner 25hp on the back. Had the anchor setup, and a paper graph. I had all those electronics over the years.

This is just beyond awsome!! Lol i swear I went back to my child good in the 80’s!!

By the way, found you're channel by accident and im loving it you are such a good guy

Now you just need a K5 Blazer or big Bronco to pull it. Love the channel!

With that great Intro I subscribed and post notifications ON!!! This dude is gonna take me backkkk!!!

Man I’m going crazy waiting for my Bass Tracker Classic lol! Can’t get here fast enough. An love your boat btw.

The Crown Jewel!

Can't wait to get my classic in Aug. You just convinced me to forget about the deck extention. Thanks for the heads up about the gas line!

I had a portable fish finder that was like the second one you showed. It had a pole you stuck in the water. Broke it off the first time I used it in a lake and it ended up in the lake. My dad still has his. Dang. I have the ice fishing version of the fish finder mounted on your dashboard. Gave it to my dad to keep for when I go up icefishing and he can use it when I don't. Gotta be almost 20 years old.

Great video! It’s like stepping back in time!

Thank you so much ! My dad had all of this. I miss the super 60 . He also had a lowrance/ Paper graph. Lol Very high tech.

Great walk through my man, love it. Keep it up and I will keep watching, I am old school.

In 1991 when I qualified for my first Classic we were limited to what would fit in the one Flambeau Box BASS supplied you with. I have still have the box.

That was kick ass with all the throwback

Dam bro you retro hard I am starting a KZfaq channel and for my first video in i was left a huge lure collection of 1920’s and 1930’s tackle from the man that gave me the passion of fishing my great grandfather and I’m taking that tackle and seeing how I can do today on all those beautiful tackle!

This is awesome. Can’t wait to show my buddy’s this.

If for some reason somebody wakes up in that boat will think he was put on a time machine and sent to the 90s😂😂😂

This retro gear is sickkkkk

love the Googan Bait plug..... lets go dangling.. just picked up a 2013.. love it..

Badass video man! Very cool

Man that's a beautiful boat

Surprised you didn't mention the Lorance X-15 graf and those rats are great to throw in heavy mats just move them slow across the top and bass will explode up through the cover. Caught a lot of big fish.

Sparkle scales I rember Hank Parker ate some said it was the worst . They also had a color finder that you could carry it around with .

Great video! I forgot about the flying lures! New to your channel 👍

Thanks, that's the bomb! I have the 1985 Tracker I model and love it.

Wow, epic attention to detail and awesome collection of lures. Great video!

So freaking cool and unique channel! Keep it up.

Perhaps adding a bolt-on step that will swivel around independently on that front seat post? You'd be able to kick it around for when you need it or not? Kinda' like a small barstool step?

Jeez I'm old. I have that same tackle box on the floor of the boat. Same color too. Bought it new.

Those anchor mates are used alot in my area. Perch guys and river guys use them

if you close your eyes it sounds like jeremy piven giving the walkthough

Need to fish big tournament with this and just watch the looks you get lol

Great Channel.

I had everyone of those lures! Retro, do you remember the old Shimano rod that was very thick at the base, while normal sized on the rest of the rod? I can't remember what it was called, but it just fished so great! It was all graphite, and light, but strong! One day I simply picked it up, and the tip broke off. I was devastated because at the time it was so expensive for me!

Those pre rapala lures are worth some dough

awesome! ferris beuller...very nice

Hey man, you have any videos discussing how read old fish finders and sonars?

This is great! I love it 😂👍🏻

what are your thoughts on this boat? Do you wish that you got something bigger? I just ordered the 2021 classic xl , im trying to figure out if i need to go up to the txw model. Thanks in advance. i love the boat though for sure👍

My uncle had an old bass tracker and he passed away my cuz put a 4 stroke 50 hp merc on it and redecked it but my 1987 lund mr pike with a 70 hp johnson smoked him !

Cool stuff !!! I like it :-)

Do hose have enough room for everyone to go out? Where do the kids sit when you’re riding?

Well on one of you're videos you said you don't want to say you're age but im going to make a guess,im 50 and i enjoy everything you enjoy on ESPN on Saturday morning so you are about my age 50 maybe 51

Love it!!

Dude now that you sealed the storage compartment water will not drain to the bilge if water gets in there in the rain

Wow crazy nice bro 👌 👏

have you got a hummingbird paper graph about 1980 ish looked like a lie detector machine the paper was very expensive.

10 lb was allowed in the 1st bass master classic

Where did you find the Formula Buddy?

I am big on old school fishing as it was NOT as it is. These military stile electronic s should be out lawed. Fish like fisherman fished i say. And it shouldn't take a 80,000$ boat to do it. And putting a 350hp motor on a bass boat is crazy PERIOD ! .

Cool channel

100!

Where did you find all this retro stuff

How to rig a 2020 tracker classic Actually it's a 2019. Actually it's a 2018 and not actually a classic. 😂😉

Hey man. Sell me the boat. So jealous.

10lb skull crusher! HA!

You’ve got too much time on your hands!
