Fair comment mate. Sometimes we probably do say too much. This was a bigger fish for Lou and she was struggling to make ground on it. I was giving advice on how to get it to the boat more efficiently. I do take your point though. If you watch our videos I reckon she catches more fish than I do, so she should probably be the one giving advice. Thanks for the comment and watching our content ❤️

The only thing that I think you’ll ever hear most people say is that if they had the money they would have gone up a size. But I’m honest when I say that this boat does everything we have asked of her with ease. It’s easy to launch and retrieve solo, is good on fuel and easy to park.

Saw you out there this day, My boat pops into camera 36min mark. We caught about 20 slimeys which were turned into fish tacos and about the same in rat kings trolling around/drifting. Had a live slimey off the back about 100m from that island and hooked up to a shark. No wire leader so it was exciting for about 3.7seconds. Then the weather went south quickly mad for a fun boat ramp!
