Got to add another 1000 for taxes lol

I’ve had good luck with some Temu water shoes, very inexpensive & not bad, they dry quick.

How does this kayak compare against the Topwater 12'? Which one paddles creeks better?

I’m like that too man I see some new and different I’m like ohh yea let’s try it !😂

Been waiting to hear your thoughts on this one, I'm considering one myself! Sounds like exactly what I need!

You can add the jk underseat pouch holds 4-3700's and get you some leashes and you can attach to 4-3600 stowaways in the factory molded places on each side of the seat and add the anchor wizard easily no drilling just run it through the molded handle

I move mine man

Made in Sparta Tn

Great video and great review!! Have a good evening and week. Thank you for sharing. Take care and god bless.

Thanks for the review I’m looking for a used one. A throw and go. I have a Jackson Knarr with a bow mount motorgide I love it but only for bigger water, I want one for creek and small river fishing

I love my Newport on the back of my Bite! Little thing scoots! One of the best creek/river throw and go boats you can grab!

John-As for Water coming up through the holes, in the bottom of the Kayak, that would be due to a type of Water-Air mix Compression. It's Water being forced up through the holes, due to increased pressure from whatever ripples and pressure, that are present.

Thank you john for the information on that kayak I am looking in to getting a kayak so if you can you make more videos the kayaks you own i am right now to heavy for that kayak but trying to lose weight

We bought 2 of the original Bites in 2019. It’s a great open floor kayak. In later years the difference between the angler and rec version was the rod holders and an upgraded seat.

Hey! Thanks for the mention dude! 👊😎

You already know how I feel. They are the best!

i have a 2015 Jackson cruise 10 and i love it ..Use it on the river all the time!

Kinda like the fishing version of Harbor Freight to Snap-On. Get the tools you can afford to get the job done. Congratulations on the new digs.

Can you do a give away ?😊

I bought 10 very high end rods & reels all with their own specific uses, nothing lasts forever but it will be damn close if you invest the money, which will save you money in the long run, as long as as my rods aren’t warped, bent or broken, I will not be buying anything. Now as far as lures are concerned 😅 I have a problem…

Congrats on your new place, is it in the same area? We just closed on our house on the 20th and hope to be moved in by this weekend.

My addiction is casting reels. I have 151 reels and paid about $21,000. They are not super expensive models, and most were bought used. My faves are my Shimano Antares AR lefty and my Chronarch 101D7. I dont have nearly as many rods, but my fav is my Loomis NRX 802c and also my Shimano Cumara 6'9" MH. Don't tell my wife haha!

You might want to build expertise in some of those reels. There are a lot of different kinds of reels out there. Personally, I like to build expertise on vintage reels focusing on Mitchell open face spinning reels, Abu Garcia Ambassadeur bait castors and Penn saltwater reels. I try to pick them on estate and garage sales as well as FB marketplace when the price is right.

I feel your pain, brother! I have a ton, too! Have them on the wall in my office and on the walls in my garage, and some piled up in various coners of the office and the garage! They're taking over! 😮

You could be doing worse things! Enjoy it while you can 👍

My favorite rod ever was a Shakespeare 5'6 Durango 2UL rod I bought one on clearance at WM for $5. I have caught 6lb bass on them. They don't make them anymore.😢

I have over 25k easy just in rod/reels I never stored my rod like that on a truck bed haha

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. I'm using the section at about one minute to show my wife I'm not so bad. I only have about 16 or 17 rods and 25 or so reels. Only 12 are out for use, the rest are boxed up.

That seems awfully low. I only have 12 combos over $1800.

“Thanks for watching that helps pay for these rods” ha right on love yer stuff John Happy New Year!

I stopped the video at 2:02 to do my calculations and I would say you have about 8-9 K in what you are showing in the 83 rods and 37-38 reels.

My wife tells folks that my shop looks like Bass Pro!!

Now do your Kayaks. 😅

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy you fishing equipment. That’s the next best thing.

These are just the rods, add in the 8x braid line, leader material, swivels, hooks, lead, lures, tackle box, boat, electronics, trolling motor, batteries, license, yearly ramp and park fees, cast nets, fuel, food, lure making aluminum molds, plastisol, colorant, clothing for summer, clothing for winter, sunglasses, sun block, did I forget something?

I know I have 25 rod reel combos At an avg of $100 per combo. So $2000-$2500 in just that. Probably at least half that much in tackle.

Crackheads are going to be stalking your house now!

If 4 sale cost about 2000.dollars

This is a $1,000 dollar a year hobbie for a guy on a budget like me. If it's not on clearance sale I don't get it. Is it a bad habit or a hobbie good old fishing. Is nothing like 25 years ago is all about 💰 and going up.

Could you imagine the total if you included tackle!!! Congrats on the house! Thank you for sharing all your adventures, I look forward to watching!!!

I'm a Shimano guy and have many different outfits to apply to different situations. It's costly but worth it because I keep the Walleye, White Bass, Sauger, Saugeye, Crappie, Bluegill, Trout and some catfish I catch. The gear lasts long but I keep getting every lure and accessory I see. It gets costly

All I see as a small business owner is tax write offs 👍

The one with the most fishing poles wins.

The difference between a pole and a rod is about 147$.

I mean if your looking to get rid of one, I'm in the market for a good ultralight 😅. Seriously though I love your videos, watch them all the time. I recently went through all my Bass stuff and got rid of a lot. Sold some and donated a lot to some local programs. I'm afraid I'm gonna end up in the same rabbit hole with bfs.

John. your neighbors know you are a KZbin celebrity?

You don't have too many rod, you don't have enough reels! 😅

For you these are all tax write offs. You need to spend more money on rods.

Add another 15-30 bucks for line for each reel also. Lol

You have a heck of a collection! Mine is small at the moment but the more different types of fishing I wanna do the more rods I add to my arsenal. I am learning more and more as I go and thank you for all the info and your videos. You have inspired me to start the channel I have fishing and trying to Praise the Lord through it all. Keep it up John. Keep putting the Lord first in all you do and you will always be rewarded and blessed through his grace! Amen!
