That’s awesome some stranger helped you get your rod back and you gave him some bags of worms in return that was a nice gesture my buddy helped me get my rod and reel back when a 4 1/2 pound bass grabbed it and took it right over the railing thank God I got it. ✌🏼🎣🎣

[@RadReelingFishing]

$90 rod and reel combos work just as good as the $500 ones, especially for kayak fishing.

[@WestinSmith]

Yes they do

[@kellyzabriskie7332]

Funniest Old Town video I have seen yet! I’m sure you have it all figured out by now but watching you figure it out for the first time had me a laughing, I’m just getting started watching all the videos on this kayak in anticipating being able to get one in a few months for this summer. Thanks for the video.

[@jeremylitchfield8617]

What a cool rig that it. Good on you for showing your appreciation to the guy who lent you the hook. Some people would have just said thank and moved on. I bet you made that guys day with the baits.

[@maicon_13]

Westin: boat stay there its my life savings Also westin: uhh i actually got it for free

[@WestinSmith]

😂😂😂

[@fishingwitht-boz4428]

Watched this at 5 a.m. before work now watching it agin at work at 10:30 lol

[@asherdavis5314]

glad i ran into you there man! just wish i had my gopro on since i was right behind you and it would've been a great thumbnail 😢😂

[@WestinSmith]

For sure haha! Thanks so much bro, we’ll have to get back out soon and that woulda been a crazy shot 😂📸

[@asherdavis5314]

Westin Smith i would love to

[@luisrosario8662]

U forgot to crimp the connections 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dude thats too funny 💪💪💪💪 great vid

[@randyrhyne139]

PDL may be faster but you didn't have to do anything but press buttons, he had to pedal his ass off. The ability to cruise along and cast as you go is amazing and worth the cost of this yak. Great vid brother.

[@hooknheritage6305]

Ooh you fancy huh? 😎🤙 killing it bro keep grinding my dude👊

[@Billdozer83]

Which is more stable when standing, SS127 or the autopilot 120??

[@russelll.8361]

Pretty cool man. I like the option of having both the pedals and a drive motor in the back though. The spot-lock is a great advantage. Now you need to add some electronics!

[@WestinSmith]

Yes indeed we do !! And the spot lock is killer now that I’ve used it 2 Windy days in a row. Game changer

[@Bayboybassin]

Haha that’s super awesome man! Enjoy the output you put out on the channel! May have to get an old town yak

[@WestinSmith]

Thanks so much! Gotta say it’s a fun time on these things

[@five-0outdoors750]

What kind of box is that in the back of the yak with the rod holders built into it?

[@lumpiestofcoles3724]

This thing looks so spacious Westin lol you looked tiny in it makes you forget it’s a yak for a minute lol very very nice I could really use one of these over a little boat honestly

[@WestinSmith]

It really does 😂 on day 2 I was walking all over the place on it and really tested out spot lock !!!

[@powderhogg01]

im still rocking the FeelFree Lure 11.5. the only reason I havent rigged a motor is my lack of desire in paying my state registration for a kayak. Keep up that awesome content brother..

[@joshuasheppard5400]

I love Adriatica! My brother caught a 15lb bass in there next to the drain pipe.

[@carloiannioutdoors7057]

Westin that thing is a peice of mind. The most professional KZbin fisherman right here love the awesome videos been here sence day one

[@fabulous7567]

Thumbs up to Ryan for never skipping leg day. Also, giant thumbs up for keeping it reel (see what I did there)

[@WestinSmith]

Haha heck yeah, he was Get’n it! Thank ya 🔥

[@deriklindsey9648]

As always love the dope content. And I need one of those yaks in my life. They look amazing to fish out of. Congrats on the free yak you and your girl deserve it. Keep the vids coming. Please and thank you.

[@WestinSmith]

The thing is insane! Thanks so much Derik 🤘🏼 the next few episodes featuring it really showcase the spot lock in windy conditions. Game changer for sure

[@handsonfishing8538]

Man I just can’t decide between the bonafide or the old town but man the trolling motor is nice. And glade you got your rods back I never did 😭

[@toddhammer9351]

All's well that ends well. Love the new yak. MDLR was a big help too.

[@MDLRFishing]

I got this 👍😂

Man you do a good job on sfx I don't really like theses younger style videos but you do a good job I can definitely binge your videos

Yo Ryan! Awesome bro. Star of the show right there 🙌🏼

[@Arcturian1111]

You can add a decent electric trolling motor into the OT Sportsman 106 PDL Hull, with a battery for under $300. Why spend $5k. When you can modify it at a total cost for $2500 with the Boat The Pedal and The Motor.

[@TL-il1mx]

Awesome stuff Westin 👍🏼👊🏼🎣

[@WestinSmith]

Thank ya 👊🏼

[@edwardmoreno4904]

Badass Yak man. Just ordered one, and doing some research on that battery you have. Was that 50AH plenty of juice for a full day?

[@WestinSmith]

Thanks man, yeah we have been using that battery for a while now at just 50AH and it’s been plenty

[@FireTurtle75.]

That dude at the end came in clutch & made out like a bandit! A money bag full of baits for the price of a a treble hook. Also, MDLR too with the support.

[@WestinSmith]

Today’s vid was just all over the place with mishaps 😂

[@FireTurtle75.]

@@WestinSmith Man, stuff happens. If it didn't, it would make the good days seem like less of a win.

[@dieseldoesfishing5358]

Who’s out there watching every minute and hitting that 👍🏻 to bump our boy Westin up in the algorithm? I have a perception pescador pro 100, basic 10 footer, can’t stand up on it (you can but it’s not designed for that), even without the motor this new old town is so much more thoughtfully designed with all your dry storage right next to you within reach. It’s the little things that eliminate some of the frustration of fishing on a kayak.

[@WestinSmith]

Thanks man really appreciate that. This thing 100% eliminates so much frustration you are absolutely right

[@dieseldoesfishing5358]

Westin Smith 🤣 how many times have you been in less thoughtfully designed kayaks, needed something and realized it was AAAAALL the way at the front storage hatch and you can’t get to it without beaching and getting out? Pain in the ASS!

[@WestinSmith]

Plenty! Or waaaay in the back

[@timothyleger4385]

That's a nice yak !! A little bit expensive, but nice !! Have fun with it Bruh !! Cool video !!

[@WestinSmith]

$3,799 for this one, before the battery, but to be honest, that’s like $500 more than we paid JUST FOR our friggin trolling motor on the boat! This thing is loaded with goodies and too fun to fish off of
