Do the seats have cooling feature too?

Great video! Thank you.

I got one last year. Got almost 30 thousand miles and it is great

Is this guy using sign language, hand's spend more time waving around when moving than on the wheel!!!!!!

Great review. You answered most of my questions. Will be buying a 25 Sportage when available. Look forward to future reviews.

Most educational fishing video. I really like the in-depth explanation. Dude, you should fish bassmaster classic 😊❤

Sadly, I've had zero luck with jerkbaits. I worked really hard to develop my technique on a jerkbait. I just couldn't get it. 😢

Nice catches brother 😊❤

Nice video! Thanks for taking extra time for the voice over and diagrams. Subscribed.

Awesome...feeds right in to my obsessive approach to river smallmouth fishing in western NC! Will be using for most of my trips and analyzing data...thanks!

No screaming, no music, no tackle sales. Just amazing instruction on how to read a new river for smallmouth. Slow and easy. Great graphics. Can't beat a sunny summer day and that shallow, clear water! Thank you!

I hardly ever do a steady retrieve like I've seen most videos tell you to do. In certain conditions, it's the way to go, but in most cases, the pop and pause method kills it. I love how you can fish this lure super slow while still making a decent amount of noise. I am having some major issues, though, with line twists. At first, the lures work fantastic, but after a few hookups, they don't work as well, and I'm getting serious twisting that's making the lures unusable. I'm thinking about trying a ring with a barrel swivel. Just curious how you've made out.

Great info. Quick unsolicited critique, No need for wall to wall stock music. Use it to highlight moments and will be effective. Too much it loses its meaning and is supernreericue/-annoying

i have a sx prestige hybird. - 3 repairs so far, 1 major. 2 minor. AC went out and they replaced the compressor, 40k miles. map light above rear door is not a $5. light bulb... it's a $70 unit... cover under warranty at 38k. driver seatbelt clip at 10k miles Love the car though!

Love jerkbaits in summer! Great stuff, thanks.

When you say "cut" bank you mean undercut.

This is a really good video 👍🏻 thank you men

I appreciate you actually taking the time to explain your thought processes when choosing areas and baits to use. Here, in WV, the fishing can be tough, so any additional knowledge is appreciated

Thanks for the review, it’s a pleasure seeing a positive feedback on the Sportage. I have a 2023 X-Pro in July 2023 and currently at 25K miles. No issues at all. I’m definitely getting my 100K warranty. 👍🏾

The 2024 must not have the reverse beep sound I’ve never heard it. It’s the lx and it has the pedestrian sensor.

Have you ever thrown a soft jerk bait like a Zoom Salty Fluke?

Whats this river called ? If you dont mind . Keep up the good videos !

Thanks so much for the really great review on the Sportage.

I don't know about the Sportage as yet, but I've owned two of the Prius (2016 in the last one), and I found that if you are in a part of town that has a lot of hills, that the sport mode in that one gets better mpg. Less work for the transmission etc so though you are not speeding, you are rolling easier in the hills. Also what you discribe in the breaking is the same in the Prius. Light breaking as much as possible keeps them charged, also it is slowed down by the recovery generator vs the actual breaks. This does tend to irritate other drivers that don'e understand why you are "Riding your breaks" lol. Another thing I found was that if I'm going to be running at a single speed for a while I will always use my cruise control as much as possible. This also saves you fuel because you are not fluctuating the gas pedal all the time. This way when I'm in town on a main road at 40 mph, my mpg is awesome. Also on the freeway, I'll jump into the Truck lane, and do the same speed they are. Five mph actually has a great impact on mpg. Even maintaining 65 is much better than 70mph.

June here in east Tennessee and the rivers are 70-74* with some of the rivers already at low levels usually not seen until Sept. The smallmouth are still here in the same sections as last year and still killing the dark sleeper and any 3" goldish brown paddletails or underspins in the same colors that look like the little suckers or Darters. They are not hitting any topwater lures though, no whopper ploppers, no spooks, no jerk baits so that is odd. I've been checking out other rivers and streams but none produce 15-20 fish in a quarter mile float like my honey hole. Some locations near Newport that are easy to fish from the banks near large farms using migrant labor have been picked clean. I floated 12 miles of what is labeled a trophy smallmouth river over a 2 day period and caught 4-5 small bass. I'm learning to just skip areas where it looks like people have been fishing from the banks...the hunt continues

Great smallie fishing and video! Always learn something new, thanks!!!

To comment on the review, which is great btw, and thank you. I have the SX prestige hybrid, 30k+ miles on her. I must say, i absolutely love the touch controls, once your brain gets use to it, it is extremely intuitive and quick. I have had zero issues with it's responsiveness as well.

Got my 2023 sportage hybrid February last year as of today im just about to hit 15k i love it

This is one of the best indépendant reviews I have watched.

Thanks Riverman. Very helpful. Your comment on space was exactly what I needed. I will test drive a Sportage.

Very cool and informative!!! Enjoyed this video and learned a few things along the way, thank you!!!

The quick "aw you..."at 4:20 is so relatable 😂

The instances where you throw your whopper plopper, that's throughout the day? I've always been told in low light conditions is basically the only time bass will hit those kinds of lures.

Love jigs, i catch them all the time it seems like mostky all on jigs. And ned rid or blade baits

Dude nice work that’s a beautiful smallie

Is it a secret what river this is?

Great video. Just found your channel and really enjoy it. Have you ever made a video about the tackle you choose fishing a smaller river from kayak? Curious if you tend to stick to shorter rods? Specialized or all purpose rods? Fishing line types? Thanks again for having a great channel.

Good info. New sub here!

Does a tube factor into your bait selection at all for summer river smallmouth?

Any tips on how to get a plopper out of a tree when trying to sneak it up close to cover? Asking for a friend…

Wow! Just found this channel, and all I can say is THANK YOU! Santa brought my 9 yr. old son a canoe for Christmas, and all he wants to do now is hit the river looking for smallmouth. He has been frustrated the last few times we've gone because I have caught them, but he has not. I was having the hardest time articulating the sorts of things he needed to be looking to find. We sat down tonight and watched two videos, and he is already chomping at the bit to get out and try all of the stuff he learned. Your illustrations and slow motion made it so easy for him to understand (and dad might have been sitting there taking just as many notes). Subscribed to the channel and now about to go back and check out more!

$125-$130 oil change at kia dealer🤯

I did an oil change for this car today Filter was tight but when we started the oil bursted from the filter and i got oil over me

Man, I fish smallies as well, so I was excited to see you fishing my state waters, but I gotta say I don't like the way you treat pike and muskie. You're scared of them and shouldn't be fishing in places where you know you're going to catch them if you can't handle the fish properly. Otherwise, nice vid.

Mantab sekali ini bro....nyimak 11:31

Was that a muskie, right before the 15:00 mark?

How haven't you suggested to my feed yet? This is quality no bs fishing content

0:59 😭😭😭

I don't like the gloss black interior trim either. I think brushed metal or matte black would've been cleaner and looked better, too.
