Hammerhead Whale Shark Kayak

Thank you to Hammerhead Kayaks and No Bad Days Kayak for making all this possible. This new kayak at its price point is the best kayak I have ever owned personally. Hammer head kayaks really stuff a lot of quality features into their product. Thanks to wolfs fishing and garret for the invite, I had an amazing time out on the water. Big trout on top water out by King ranch shoreline launching from Bluffs landing Marina. More videos to come with this amazing product that fits my BIG GUY needs.

@TyBudAdventures I can't help it, I'm fat lol

@@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING That wasn’t meant for you Mike, I was trying to poke at this huckfin guy for whining.

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

@TyBudAdventures I know buddy I was just adding onto the joke.

I have the same myself in Sweden with a Watersnake 54lb and im wery pleased with it. I dont fish only camping and discover new places. Nice video 😊

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

It's amazing the world we live in, and nature is very beautiful.

[@aronmusejr]

I love mines. No Bad Day Kayaks is the way to go.

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

Very good people and customer service

[@MeltonBatey]

I'm wanting to purchase one but have questions. Does water stand in back of boat. Only 2 scupper holes. ? Does water go thru rotor? Is rotor turn Handel in the way of padding?? Ty in advance..

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

@MeltonBatey I don't have issues with standing water even where drive is,(rotor?) not that I know of but if it does it has a drain plug. Drive steering is not in the way of paddling

[@aronmusejr]

It’s got around 12 skupper holes. Never had an issue with standing water.. remember to pull the skupper plugs out though.

[@cleanfunfishing]

Nice trout! I'm glad you like your new kayak

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

I need to marsh test it now

[@robertdoyle8972]

Ningbo Vicking Mould & Plastic are the ones that make them and you can order from them I’m looking to get one because the peddle drive kayak I have now is only 10.6 long

[@gerardoromero8887]

Cool

[@jimmymills5072]

I found this same thing on alibaba. These yaks come from china and cost under 500 depending on how many you order. I was hell bent on ordering one until I saw it on alibaba, now idk.....

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

If you order it from hammerhead kayak themselves the company is legit and will take care of you. I'll have another video talking about my experience with them soon.

[@jimmymills5072]

Ordered it today! Guys at No Bad Days kayaks were awesome.

So have tried your friends old town 120? If so do you feel there’s a big difference in the quality of the whale compared to the 120? I have been looking into a 120 but 2800-3000$ is pretty hard to swallow

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

You get the stability like the 120 but lose a little speed, old Towne has a warranty that is unmatched but hammer head owner is really good about helping you out. I'll take the hammer head all day just to save money but if I had the extra cheese I'd get the old town

[@jaredrobertson1955]

@@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING is the hull plastic thin? I have a Malibu and a wilderness. You can tell the difference in the hull. My Malibu finally cracked. But the ride is super strong

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

@jaredrobertson1955 not really but I'd have to put them side by side

[@dylanvanbuskirk926]

how big are you. I am 6 foot 7 380 lbs and cant find a good yak

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

6ft and about 350 plus pounds, fits me just fine and I had to move the seat up alot so plenty room to spare

[@WestFloridaLocks]

Zara Spook is the bomb! Caught many fish of that same lure

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

I've had it for a while and never used it. Mistakes happen in life

[@Shy1Ballin]

What brand of yak is that Mike?

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

Hammerhead whale shark

[@cristianocucumo4361]

Do you recommend this kayak? I’m open ocean fishing. Is it slow or decent enough to move around?

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

Stable as hell, slow speed but I am a big 300 plus pound guy so I'd imagine a smaller 200 pound person could be quicker in it.

[@cristianocucumo4361]

@@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING I’m 215 I got a feel free moken 12.5 pdl. Worst mistake of my life. Absolutely terribly built kayak, any moment of sun and it’s flexing. I know bigger means slower, but im covering big bodies of water although I’d say 3-4 mph stable could probably be fine. I was looking at hobie pa 14 and big water 132 but the price is just really high

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

@cristianocucumo4361 yeah I mean this thing I'm my opinion is really well built compared to my buddies old town and some hobies I've seen, and the price point is really what sold me on it. I love that the company is really helpful because they are not a huge company as of yet so you get service really easily.

[@MIKEMELENDEZ_FISHING]

It was slightly slower than an old town pedal drive, but my buddy is 200lb, and again, I'm 350 plus pounds. It does have fin drive or pedal option and also could stick a motor in the drive system for half the cost
