[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks brother!

[@makingmagicfishing541]

That's a sick yack!! I've always wanted to try the peddle kind. Looks super fun! Can't wait to see what you catch on it👊👏

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks bro! It’s definitely the Cadillac of kayaks

[@eddielikesfishing]

Nick Lytle from Navarre Kayak Fishing has alignment spacers for the PDL drive as well as aluminum rudders to replace the plastic one. The spacers help keep water out of the yak while pedaling. Enjoy the boat. Tight lines.

[@Hook2Cook]

I will definitely pick up some of those

[@livetofish5601]

I hope you don’t stop surf fishing because u got this kayak we love your videos out there on the surf most people can’t afford kayaks it broke my heart when diehard stop surf fishing it’s just the same video over and over of him trolling and catching fish the same way please please keep your surf fishingvideos going bro

[@Hook2Cook]

Yea no way.... too many good species to target in the surf and there’s another level of satisfaction landing them on the beach

[@livetofish5601]

That’s exactly it there’s just another level of satisfaction knowing that you got that hook up and landed that fish from shore same with fishing for sharks so much more satisfaction I still can’t wait to watch your kayak videos we love them all thank you so much but I’m glad you’re still going to surf fish lol

[@kaimanuhall6228]

Aloha Edward, congrats on the new addition to your fishing artillery I'm located in Monterey Ca. Rock fish season opens in May it would be plenty of fun fishing in the Monterey waters particularly near the Aquarium. Mahalo for the inspiration and videos 🤙🏽

[@Cali_Inca]

Super psyched for some bass fishing missions from the new kayak!! Definitely making the west coast proud 🌊👊🏼🧢

[@Hook2Cook]

Yup! Going out tomorrow for the first time. Hopefully we can find a few bass

[@CentralValleyAdventures]

Nice setup can’t wait to see it in action

[@tblazy3463]

Very cool! Can't wait for the next on the water vid! I think once you get a boat fishing goes from a hobby to an obsession!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Hook2Cook]

Haha next level obsession

[@joecuneo1606]

Wow, how smart of Old Town to provide a Kayak for you KZbin fishermen. Can't wait to see your on water review. I'm really curious to see how stable it is out on the water. Stay Safe!

[@Hook2Cook]

One video we’re planning is to flip the kayak on purpose

[@ryanelliott7887]

Looks like a very awesome Kayak

[@salcalderon2125]

Way to go brother! Wondering why they didn't send you the motorized kayak. Can't wait to see your new kayak videos! Looking into getting one myself. God bless you out on the water. POWERRRRRR!!🎣🤙🏼

[@Hook2Cook]

It’s good to be different 🤗 theoretically the pedal one makes a bit more sense open water on longer trips. A lot less to worry about

[@cerescop]

Old Town picked a good spokes person to review their product. Congrats on your aquisition of the kayak. Hope to see some fishing from it soon. The hull is slick and will troll fairly easily at 1.5 - 2 mph all day in relative comfort. Veronica is correct get a friend who has one to go out with anything you sit on can flip in the right circumstances. Follow coast guard guidelines for safety. Good review keep them coming

[@Hook2Cook]

Agreed! One trip we take will be at the lake practicing flipping them

[@skim4me]

I just picked up my big water 132 yesterday. I love it. I can't believe how fast these are. They're also built really well, and they have lots of room for equipment. I was looking into Hobie, but I don't like the flipper drives.. Flippers are for fish not kayaks.😅

[@Hook2Cook]

yes, it's really fast for its weight and size. the hull cuts through water. even putting the drive up and paddling, it punches through surf and tracks really well.. stay tuned. releasing a video of taking it into the ocean and landing thresher sharks. it maneuvered extremely well to keep up the the fast agile sharks.

[@skim4me]

@@Hook2Cook Awesome, I'll be looking for it.

[@richg.fuzion3288]

Wat up E? Wat it do? Congratulations on your new toy 🙏🏽 be safe out there and good luck and baptize that bad boy with some monster keepers 🙏🏽

Great review would love to see a comparison with the Predator PDL s for the yak name "The USS Fluffy"

[@randysmith8604]

Hey Edward . Check and make sure the pdl seats properly and locks down with tension so the latch is not loose that holds it in .

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mackjenkins7721]

Hello sir congratulation to you on your new Kayak. That big water boy is nice. That was nice that old town did that for you. I am thinking about upgrading to one of these kayaks. I do have a question? You mentioned that the pedals have a soft grippy pad on them but on the pedals but are the pedals pretty wide. I have a very very extremely wide foot with very fat wide toe that are equally straight across making my foot 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my little toe. I wondered would the pedals be wide enough for my foot. The pedals look like they would be comfortable to pedal Barefooted 👣 because that's how I had to kayak is barefooted 👣 because they do not make a shoe , sock , or boot that's wide enough for my foot. I also like your flip-flops you were wearing in the video. Flip flops is the only Footwear that barely and I mean barely will fit on my foot because my toes are wider than the flip flop straps. I grew up wearing flip-flops or being barefooted 👣 as a kid because of my toes being so fat and wide but I never thought my foot would without growing tennis shoes & I would had to live my life as a barefooted person because of my toes being extremely fat and wide and straight across. Good video sir appreciate if you could let me know about those foot pedals and thank you for sharing.

[@Hook2Cook]

i dont see any issues with width but I have also seen people replace them with more bicycle style pedals.

[@mackjenkins7721]

@@Hook2Cook oh you can replace them with the bicycle pedals. I do have some special made bike pedals that I had made for my bike so I could take my kids bike riding. It really sucks having a very extremely wide foot with fat wide toes because it causes so many problem that I have to go through. Thank you I appreciate that.

[@jeffheller8679]

I’m debating between the 132 and 120. How well does the 132 paddle?

[@Hook2Cook]

It’s actually faster than the 120 because the deeper v shape on the 132. I have a video of fishing with my buddy who owns a 120. First TROUT on the kayak FINALLY kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpeseKWLZd1-q8k

[@unholynights23]

[@Hook2Cook]

@@unholynights23 not at all. I wish I still had it. Big and fast. I just really needed a new computer to edit 4k videos

[@unholynights23]

​@@Hook2Cook this is my last last time buggin you in this comment thread about this yak, quality wise does the material seem like its pretty thick and rugged? My current BKC feels like paper mache compared to my buddies Limetime, it has tons of flex and its one of my biggest complaints, i have to be super careful about handling it, hoping the bigwater isn't like that at all, thanks for your feedback, i really appreciate it!

[@MaverickFishing]

Sorry, but all i could think of now is if your recycling company allows to dump polystyrene in a recycling bin? If label on top says "DO NOT", please consider researching local companies that do buy-back or accept donations. It is free for you and great for the environment, especially ocean. Most big companies do not recycle Polystyrene and Styrofoam and it often ends up in a garbage field or an ocean. There are however plenty of smaller companies that either recycle or simply give polystyrene a second life. Just a thought for consideration.

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks for saying something! Terrible assumption there. Noted.

[@zlacc]

What is the difference between this and the predator pdl?

[@Hook2Cook]

It’s basically the predator PDL rebranded as the sportsman lineup. A few minor changes like the seat and the rod tip guards on the predator and not on the Bigwater & new colors but the hull is about the same.

[@zlacc]

@@Hook2Cook Which one has the better seat? And which rod tip guards?

[@Hook2Cook]

The really early models used to have these tabs built in up at the bow to secure the tips of your rods when you’re laying them down. Not sure what year, but every year they had minor changes. There’s no solid guide but if you’re comparing the last model of predator, the main differences are colors and seat material

[@zlacc]

@@Hook2Cook so there is no difference between this bigwater and the 2020+ model predator?

[@Hook2Cook]

@@zlacc just the seat materials and color options
