@@Gokugpadnoamso the needle?

@@The-Sports-Bro lol you are correct… its a great song!

@@Donkyforlife I agree, I was very shocked when I pulled up to it. Never saw that before.

@@brandongrittner9934 I would agree 😎

@@tompeterson4628 yup… orange belly and fairly colorful or more color than females. Females have yellow belly.

It all starts with a dream and then a plan/goal. Never thought I was going to be able to get a brand new boat yet… but some planning and goal making made it happen. Thanks for watching and the compliments 👍🏼🤙🏼

When you’re not targeting them?! Cuz that happened to me tonight lol

@@JMonOutdoors yea there is soooooooo much in the lake at my cotage

@@Axolotlsss can be a battle for other fish then sometimes too.

Wow! Big bait. We can’t do that in MN.

@@JMonOutdoors yea I’m trying to put together a summer fishing 12 hr video I’ve spent 18 hrs fishing and 9 hrs editing

@@Thepennfisherman that is some commitment and dedication! What a grind 💪🏼

@@JMonOutdoors thx

Not a bad day… that’s a tasty meal of fish 😊

Great 🎣👍🏼👍🏼

Yeahhhhh buddy 🎣🤙🏼

@@JMonOutdoors lollll that’s my saying😂😂

@@MilesManSk8 lol, welllll it’s a great saying 😅

Alumacraft Competitor FSX 185. I have recently made a Review and Walkthough vid of it on my channel. Give it a watch if you’re interested 👍🏼

Never used that before… I usually use slip bobber with 1/16th oz jig tipped with leech.

It’s a beautiful fish, but definitely have caught bigger bluegills than that one. I feel it’s important to release the big males and keep them in the lake, then you can keep going to those spots and enjoying them for years and years to come.

Love it! 🎣👍🏼

You are correct on that 💯. Brings the little kid out of all of us 😊

Thank you 👍🏼🎣

@@JMonOutdoors for sure

Amen 🎣🤙🏼

Tight lines 🎣

I have never used octopus hooks for panfish, cuz I always worry about them swallowing the hook. Have done well with 1/16th oz VMC moon eye jigs tipped with leech.

@@JMonOutdoors I put one on hoping for a bass but got a very good hook set on a mondo bluegill

But, Panfish is a collective term referring to any small freshwater fish species that typically fit in a pan including, but not limited to, black crappie, white perch, yellow perch, bluegill, and pumpkinseed. So, I agree with your statement cuz I don’t like eating pumpkinseeds or rock bass or fish of those caliber lol

@@JMonOutdoors yeah I think people think sunfish are just bluegill green sunfish anything like that but sunfish refers to many other things like bass is one I don’t think some people realize

@@Ghostly-mc123 you’re probably correct on that… I love catching most of them though, but nothing like Bluegill and Black Crappie to me!

@@JMonOutdoorsrock bass always have worms from my experience

@@Cookiebird606SS yeah, same with pumpkinseeds. I know ppl that eat both and say they fry out haha. But, to each their own, I’m not THAT hungry 😅

Me too! So fun to catch… and big bluegills on ultralight gear are such an exciting battle 😊

Croppe look like if a bass and a bluegill had a baby🤑🤑🤑

@@Random_eDiTz-tz5op lol yeah I guess I can see the resemblance 😅

Sorry… there was a pre run wire to the front from the ACC switch. It was actually sticking out from the front “wall” of the bow, but we pulled it back through and used it for the puck or heading sensor. Thanks for watching, appreciate it 👍🏼. Hopefully it helps.

Thank you! I take pride in 🧼 😁

Lol, thanks! I take pride in keeping it clean… sometimes a little too much 😂. But man, it looks and feels so much nicer when it is!

It has a 150 on it… max would be 175 for this boat. But, the 150, to me, has plenty of power for this boat… I came from a 14 foot, 10 HP tiller haha. I can get 48-49 mph when by myself. 46 mph when I have passengers.

Trust me, I know the feeling… also disclaimer, I think they might just struggle to work when it gets certain temp below zero… I try to keep in truck on way to lake so it doesn’t get too cold to light if it’s really freezing out. But, this cleaning the igniter method has helped me more than once so far. Good luck 😅

Thaaaaat’s what it’s called… thank youuuu 😊. Exactly… no worries and ease of mind when you have a little help from your friends 😉

First of all, thanks for the watch and comment. As for Jason, he no longer works for them or with them and is coming out with his own lineup of shuttles and poles (HD Innovations) is his new company name. He said to me that the earliest his new stuff would come out would be July, so we will see. I have seen pics of the new stuff and it looks to be of great quality. As for the older Summit stuff, sorry I can’t help you with that and have heard from others of the older shuttle being a mess and not fun to deal with haha. Maybe cut your losses and get newer shuttle or wait for Jason’s new stuff 😊. Hopefully you get something figured out tho 👍🏼

Thanks for watching and your comment. It’s been a great experience so far for fishing.

You’re going to love it… having a new boat is very exciting and even more so once you get used to using it… I was a little nervous at first lol

Well I never or he never said that it will do damage… he just made the point that you’re more likely to damage your lower unit using that style vs using my style and damaging your transom. Thanks for the comment and compliment… appreciate you watching 👍🏼

the trailer to lower unit type were actualy caving gear hosings in on mid to late 90s O.M.C LOWER UNITS!! if motor was in warranty they would not warranty if found that this style was in use!! they actually had a trailering support made on their larger motors( i have one been in 20 yrs no problems

@@robertbunnell5045 that is some info that I never heard before. But, good to know. Thanks for sharing and enlightening us with it 👍🏼

My top speed is little over 48 mph. But like today, had good chop and my Dad and daughter in it on Mille Lacs and I was between 46-47 for top. But by myself on glass, can get close to 49. I’m pretty sure they are bolted or screwed on from backside but don’t know 100% cuz I have never seen the screws or bolts lol. They are nice to have tho.

Thanks for the feedback! I fish mille lacs a lot since I live close to the lake, if i happen to run into you on the lake I will stop and say hi!

@@chrisr1123 hey no problem… I just fished there yesterday! Don’t be afraid to say hi at all! Thanks for the chat 👍🏼

You’re welcome… thanks for compliment and for watching, I appreciate it! As for your questions, I think they are very comparable but have the exact same issues if any arise… so why spend that much more just for the name?! The buddy that rigged my battery and fuse box stuff, said he now likes the Alumacrafts better in comparison to the impact XS, thinks they are better built and value. I personally think they are very similar and like I said in the vid, bought my lithium batteries from Amped and my trolling motor… and then some… for the cost difference of Lund. I didn’t want to be forced to get Mercury either, wanted a Yamaha… also in comparison to Lund… you can get up to 175 HP for Alumacraft if you want and only to 150 for the Lund. Hope I answered what you wanted, but I love this stuff, so if you have more, don’t hesitate to ask. 👍🏼

I think the savings I’m looking at between the two is upwards of 8 grand with Alumacraft rebates right now. I got one more stupid question, if you don’t mind. Can you fit your tackle backed upright in a row in your drawers under the console? I noticed yours were stacked.

@@tylerturrell6846 holy moly. That would absolutely be a no brainer to me then! Alumacraft all the way! I guess I never tried but I’m thinking for the size that I have, doubtful, but if I can… I will let you know differently.

Thanks!! I appreciate all the info!

@@tylerturrell6846 no problem at all.. exactly why I wanted to do this video 😊

Love the bubba, but not the blades so much! I always buy Mr Twister blades!

Love chasing after them… hard fighters and beautiful to look at and admire! Have heard people say that on some of the lakes I fish, how they “used to always catch big ones out there”, then they proceed to tell me how many 5 gallons buckets they used to keep out of it back in the day “all big”. I wonder what happened to them 🤔

Lol 😂. I kept 10, but all the big males went back. 8 to 9 inch keepers are plenty big for keeping.

It’s much faster in my opinion… I love using it! Hopefully it helps you become more confident, and remember you don’t have to go fast, start slow and keep the blade level.

Well, you shouldn’t have to wire it yourself, most of that was pre wired… it looks more intimidating than what is, in my opinion! Thanks for watching and I think you’ll love the shuttle, much more portable!

Haha that’s a great sized Bass 😉😅. Especially when targeting panfish and catch them by surprise, they really battle then!

Thanks for the compliment and comment! Very happy that it worked for you 😊

Thank you! Hopefully more to come this open water season! Definitely going to try to make some vids for walleyes this season.

Oh yeah, they love going fishing. I feel like starting them young as possible makes them more likely to keep going in the future! But also having patience and keeping it fun for them as a parent too.

😂🤣🤣. Someone is expressing frustration with the Buddy Flex I see, I hear you… I’ve almost been to that point a couple times… especially the first time when I basically took the whole thing apart. But cleaning the igniter has helped me everytime now (knock on wood)

I like them plain but hey, you can add whatever you want! 😅👍🏼

It’s pretty heavy, I haven’t worried about it flying out of the boat. I don’t have it on my front deck either tho. I have it in the cockpit area with me.

You’re welcome! 👍🏼👍🏼. Thanks for your comment!

Well that sucks to hear! This tip isn’t a cure all, but it helps some. At the start of ice season… I tried starting this same heater and it wouldn’t light… cleaned the igniter again and it fired right up after, didn’t have any issues all ice season.
