I Caught a NEW PB!!! + NEW KAYAK! (Old Town Topwater 120 PDL Review)

So.. What did we learn today then? If your equipment doesn't float, tie it to the kayak. You could use one with a shorter handle anyway. ;)

[@kashh1574]

or tie it down

[@jordanpayne7249]

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

Cut a chunk off a pool noodle to wrap around the handle of your new net

I'm so glad you got a kayak. Super excited for all the new places you're going to be able to fish. Welcome to the Kayak club!

Kaevek Plays thanks man glad to be here!

[@samuelwarden6285]

I started with a lifetime tamarack kayak 2 yrs ago. Just upgraded to a perception pescador pro last month. I put part of a pool noodle on the handle of my net. Just cut it and used zip ties to hold it on there. Glad to see you enjoying the yak. I'm going out in mine in the morning. 👊👍

[@SDonMega1558]

Congrats on the new Yak and the new PB cat Nick!! So jealous. I've had my eyes on the PDL since they released them. Unfortunately it's just not in the cards for me right now. I'll just have to keep shore banging my local spots and fishing vicariously though you!! Loved the b roll and drone shots as usual! Keep up the great work!

[@MIgardener]

3k away from 200K! Can't wait to see your new milestone.

[@TimsSchoolOfFish]

Awesome boat...Congratulations, brother! Old Town really stepping up their engineering and marketing lately. Keep up the great work👊🏻😎

[@crappierocker9248]

Sweet new ride!!! You picked the right brand of kayak. Yet another awesome production Nick!!

[@RXAngler]

Congrats on the new kayak. Old Town will take care of you. Looking forward to more kayak videos.

[@catchofthedave8681]

Man the topwater pdl is awesome. I got one a month ago, and I am so impressed with it. It’s got the 2 grooves to put rods in under the seat for quick access, so thats 5 rods at hand, then I put a crate with 3 more rod holders. I take 8 rods when I fish kayak bass tourneys. Im also super impressed with their lifetime hull warranty and 5 yr drive warranty. I was looking at jacksons, hobies, etc, and the price-point vs features plus the warranty sold me. At my old town dealer, a guy was in there when i bought mine who was picking up his replacement topwater pdl. He had a scupper cart that wouldnt fit well, so he stomped down on his kayak to try and force it in the holes and it cracked his hull right on edge of scupper hole. It was abuse, and def his fault for breaking it, but old town sent him a brand new topwater with a brand new pedal drive for free. He just had to turn the broken one into the dealer, which they told him to destroy, they didnt want it back. I dont know about the old drive, wether that had to go back or not. My point is, their warranty is best in the industry.

[@xdeceitfulx2648]

Quick tip. When in tight spaces, use the oar to maneuver around. Same thing when it comes to shallow water where you could damage the prop.

[@misterfini6662]

So I watch a lot of kayak fishing youtube channels and old town has been sending these out like crazy which is smart. I will say that they were smart to send one to you because of your video skills. You just made that thing look so much better than any other youtuber haha.

[@coribellanoche]

Hey Nick - great video - my wife and I always get a kick out of your "forever smile" and great attitude. We both agree we want what your' smoking or drinking. All kidding aside, keep doing what you've been doing. One note, however, find yourself a personal flotation device cuz we want to keep watching your videos and not a memorial to the great PB.

[@Dianne5227]

i will miss that net.... RIP net...see ya later buddy :'

[@mswen1983]

I keep muskie-release tools in my boat/bag. They can be surprisingly helpful in other situations. 11" pliers are good for unhooking turtles without risking your fingers. And hook cutters (aka mini bolt-cutters) can be a life-saver if you put a hook in your hand, esp. if the other hook is attached to something, like an old rope or a flopping fish.

[@bluepit17]

This guy catches a personal best on every outing 😩😩 I’m jealous

[@DanielRyan06]

Loved that scene of the one that got away because i feel like some of my best bass came unhooked right in front of me and it hurts but is still fun to get hooked up

[@jimmansi1187]

Wow, awesome first day fishing on that beautiful new kayak. Was funny as hell watching you trying to figure things out for the first time, that’s what I like about your channel, I also do a lot of goofy things,especially when I fish & I too just laugh it off. You had a great day, nice catches!

[@justinpolakowski5787]

Great to see the excitement bud. Glad the kayak is working for you. Catfish are a blast to catch. Would lo e to see ya hook up with a giant flathead.

[@precisionanglingYT]

Nice. Jumping on the Old Town train. They are made right here in the Great State of Maine. I have the Predator PDL and love it!!

[@GK-wn6ur]

In one of the first videos of yours I watched I noticed the foam strapped around your net. After seeing this video, it all makes sense.

[@georgehandley9116]

Fantastic show. I’ve just placed an order for two old town kayaks one for me and one for my wife. Keep up the great work👍

[@jimmied2838]

Good to c u got a kayak brother. You're going to have so many more opportunities to get bigger fish I've been kayak fishing for three years now n I love it

Now you can take your new kayak to all the big ponds you when fishing and beat all your PB Keep making fun videos to watch Keep it 618 Fishing 🎣

[@jcspaziano]

Congratulations! Yak fishing is my favorite method. Dead silent, you can go shallow as heck, and they are super easy to maneuver.

[@zekct747]

Hello friend! I've been kayak fishing every week for the past 3 years. I've lost some gear too! Maybe you could take only 2 rods and attach cords to your net and pliers. Shit happens when there is a lot of things going on at the same time! Nice kayak, good luck!

[@markprairie6628]

Very well thought out kayak. Very smooth video. Easy chair fishing!

[@jlpytlewski]

I lived in Philadelphia as a kid and fished the Delaware river behind the Dietz and Watson plant on State Rd....we`d catch catfish the size of small sharks...lol.

Cool video! Looks like an awesome kayak. Glad you caught some nice fish on its maiden voyage.

[@buchhorn88]

Great videos! How one thing I would recommend is ........ 20# braid! I use Power Pro mainly, but spiderwire is good too. You'll loose a lot less fish. :D

[@jonathanhardin8075]

Welcome to the kayak fishing family. It's great!

[@trentonwhitecotton573]

Just a tip, I don’t personally wear boots when kayak fishing, because if for some reason you fall out water could get in your boots and you could drown.

[@yauck1]

Tight space, hard to navigate? Lol dude use the paddle!! I can tell you are hooked, welcome to the kayak fishing world 👍

[@RocketsFishingAdventures]

I reckon hands free kayaks are the way to go unless you are in really tight creeks. I love my Hobie but wish I had the $ for the 180 drive upgrade to get reverse. Now that you have fished in style you will never want to fish from the shore again!

[@slimsqde7397]

[@FranktheTank319]

You weren't kidding. You do catch a new PB every video.

[@heathmartin]

Time to build a kayak box and get some rod leashes to secure your rods and new net. ;-) Get two milk crates, cut the bottom out of one to use as a top and secure it with a couple of zip ties as hinges. Then zip tie a three rod rack to the side and you’re set, rod and net holder and tackle storage with easy access. Greatest yak accessory ever.

[@crazyaboutfishing]

Your adventures going to be more interesting with that kayak Nick... ‍

[@defectiveglitch8116]

Was wondering if this is your family pond, how about tagging all the big bass to see if you can recatch them later.

[@j.l.anderson2509]

OMG I'm soooo jealous I want a kayak like that.. That's SWEET. Great catfish catches. As for the net, yeah if it don't float it's a tie on. (DIY take a hollow handled net and squirt the plumbing foam into it and cap it.. That's how I did mine it's aluminum)

[@618Fishing]

J.L. Anderson that’s smart! Thanks for watching!

[@j.l.anderson2509]

No problem. That's what fishing friends are for and as long as you make them, I'll keep watching.

[@starfish1834]

Having some trouble catching bass in ponds any suggestions? I normally use worms, crank baits, and some bass lures not great at fishing and looking for any advice

That's really cute. My catch power 100 has 4 rod holders and an outboard. Nice little toy though.

[@DustyTheDog]

Pool noodles and ratchet straps. That's all you need to put just about anything on the roof of a car or SUV. You can leave the noodles whole or you can cut it in half, either way you have the bump guard. Dats the Indiana way of moving stuff that doesn't fit inside the car, haha

[@corriecole4687]

[@williamfranklin6610]

[@kathyk8310]

My son was fishing last year. He had two rods. A catfish bit on the one line and pulled rod and all into the river! So he continues fishing with the other rod. Hooks onto something. Turns out it was the rod he just lost. So he reels it in and the catfish is still hooked on that rod. So he has his lost rod back and catfish too! True story!

[@ddk56vw]

I am a big fan of Old Town kayaks and may have to look into the one you are using.

[@vr_gamers8116]

For personal safety : Ditch the wellington boots and buy neoprene scuba boots or shoes. also a PFD is a must..life jacket is even better, You won't regret it. use your kayak enough and a swim is inevitable, Stay safe.

[@flyordie1206]

If you want to lose less "almost caught" fish, use a heavier rod. You'll have a little less casting distance with light lures like a Ned rig, but get a much better hookset on big bass. Medium power or higher if you're fishing an area you know to have bigguns.

[@yanjijay6752]

Haha sweet video you caught pretty much everything possible bass even a turtle lols crazy
