Site doesnt have em. I cant find em anywhere in my area. Hell I can't find ANY kayak in my area.

[@jamirblake6269]

i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!

@Jamir Blake Instablaster =)

[@jamirblake6269]

@Dariel Baylor i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@jamirblake6269]

@Dariel Baylor it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

[@luz3888]

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzbin.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

[@F0RUM155]

The best part of this video was the awesome rescue technique at the end! Pretty important stuff

[@levis569]

The headstand is pretty important to no?

[@travisbutton992]

So glad you did the upside down test. No one tests like that! I do that in all my kayaks so I got to give it to ya, hands upside down, best review!

[@jasonkeller4180]

We asked and you provided. You got the follow up video out fast. This thing looks fun. I'm pretty excited to get my hands on one!

[@jrscout1145]

I just have to tell how much you are appreciated. There is a guy in the RV world named Josh with Haylett RV and his focus is to provide information to educate folks on all products RV whether they are able to purchase from him or not. You are that guy for the paddling community. I guess after this video we should say the Small Watercraft community. We live here in Palm Harbor Florida(across the bay from Tampa) and you make us feel like we are just around the corner. You are a great guy with a great mission and we appreciate all you do. Jim

[@HeadwatersKayak]

JR Scout that’s super kind. I appreciate you taking the time to share that.

[@LastRODbender]

your instruction and tip to "kick your legs to the surface" was exactly what i needed. i have perfected my re-entry thanks to you.

Sold my Jackson and I think I just found my next Yak👀 sheeeesh🤯

[@mattholley1237]

I have recently gotten interested in getting a fishing kayak because of the shoreline for most of the bodies of water where I live. Headwaters Kayak's videos continue to impress me with the information that they provide and the real reviews of the stuff that they talk about. Love that you did an example of how to get back in a kayak in this video. I haven't seen that before.

[@robertcoggins5527]

I love you review videos . I bought my Titan after watching you and Greg B. But it love hate thing now I got think about another toy .LOL Thanks Dan

[@stargatetitanx]

i have been scared to get into kayaking but this mini boat aka Jonny Boats Bass 100 might be what gets me into it

[@jackjohnson3220]

awesome unbiased review, very refreshing!

[@fishnbluntz4201]

Yesssss so excited see you soon!!!!

[@dandorris8531]

Lake Camanche that was my old stomping grounds. Grew up in that small town Ione. Moved out of Cal. Year and a half ago but was there in Ione since 74. That was a great review. The head stand was epic, don’t think anyone else would do that. Nice boat also.

[@domgifford7061]

That is super cool!! I’m not even a fisher (it’s something I’d like to get into) and I’d STILL buy one for rec use!! Especially because the lack of licensing needed (in my area) and the fact you could throw that on top of any regular makes it a steal for under a grand!!

[@agentwynnoutdoors]

Great video! I bought mine without even testing it. That was the 1st kayak I ever purchased.

[@richdagsher2931]

Been waiting for this one! Awesome video.

[@anchor2056]

Cool boat! Thanks for the review.

[@hoobakam.3931]

looks like a really cool personal craft... something id definitely buy, seems like a fair price as well. Looks interesting. Thanks for the good review.

I’ve got a 2 stroke 3 horse that weighs about 18 pounds. I bored it out, stroked it, bigger reeds, Mikuni carb upgrade and now it’s putting out about 6 to 8 HP. Fuel tank is integrated into the top of the motor. Be fun with this!

This boat is going to reach a lot of folks who just aren't into paddling a kayak.

[@HeadwatersKayak]

True.

[@scottnielsen6492]

My name is Scott Nelson I live in Nebraska I bought a fishing kayak that came actually from Walmart and you have inspired me to build my kayak do bigger fishing more fishing I'm out there every minute I can just two fish you have inspired me a lot

Scott Nielsen that’s awesome to hear Scott. I’m glad you enjoy the channel. Tag me in your photos so I can follow your adventures.

[@rooseveltwilliams5385]

I may have found my next project/ hobby

[@keensweep]

Because most folks will use this with a motor it would be good to see the stability test performed with one installed.

[@rickgarcia8481]

Great review...boat looks killer for the price... Swivel seat would be perfect... Btw. Head stand on the boat was impressive

[@suhwateezea.214]

Once this guy did a headstand on the kayak I realized I need to work on my balance exponentially.

[@rubennavegante3491]

Vary good thanks

[@haciendadad]

I'd like to wait for the 12 - 13 footers so I can get my bait container on it too. 10 ft seems a little too tight, doable but tight.

check out the ascend 133x

[@waltere.mellin3537]

Man, that would be perfect for me. I'm disabled and struggle with other boats. I would love to get back on the water and go fishing again.

Sorry to hear that, good luck getting back into it

[@waltere.mellin3537]

Thanks, I'm working on it. Just got a fishing license, so I'll be bank fishing soon. Take ca.

[@murdered1415]

Nice capris dude

[@KenMabie]

this is a nice little boat for a disabled person like myself of course i wouldnt be going out alone

[@goophy30]

They really hit it out of the park with this one. The options of power and that low price is amazing. I'm searching in Wisconsin on where to get one.

[@HeadwatersKayak]

goophy30 I’m not sure if you have a local dealer but if not hit me up and I’ll arrange to have one shipped up to you.

[@firecaptaintom6670]

Did you ever findca WI dealer.? I'm in MKE.

[@thomascoyne7422]

Nice boat for sure. Perfect for the back waters. When talking stability, where you talking about the emotion stealth pro angler?

[@seemeyorod4353]

Nice 👍

[@PAIZALFISHING]

Reali2 good ide 😁

[@user-hb8be5wb4q]

I had a 16’ boat with two seats, 25 hp Chrysler, and the driver seat was up front. If you have to steer in that very uncomfortable position, it needs stick steering. My boat had stick steering, GREAT. The stick was on the right side, throttle on left side. Just my 2 cents about sore shoulders and a good style fishing rig.

[@HeadwatersKayak]

Right that is an accessory that is available. I just didn’t have it yet and I wanted to play with my new toy.

[@Dr.Ratio69]

Nice, I am fishing in Lake Michigan! Wish luck, lol.

[@kriskuehn3852]

KBF might as well expect bass buggy or those Coleman boat if they allow that... Cool little boat looks like a lot of fun

[@HeadwatersKayak]

I agree the lines are being burred. Decisions made early on kinda set the stage for things like this to be excepted. IMO it should have stayed human powered, and non of this stuff would exist. With that said Hoover and crew has done more for this sport and I ever dreamed, so I cant really complain.

[@drested1793]

Pretty cool little boat. Good review. That said, if you don’t want a real boat, just want something with a trolling motor just to fish out of, you just can’t beat the Pelican Bass Raider. Stable as can be, tons of room and you can just throw in the back of the truck or top of the car. Pelican is also way cheaper.

[@HeadwatersKayak]

Dre Sted those have a place too. If I lived on a private pond I’d have one with a little trolling motor. With that said this thing with a gas motor would cover miles and you just can’t do that in a bass raider. We are seeing hairs being split in the industry. So many niches being flushed out.

[@skyak4493]

@@HeadwatersKayak This Jonny boat 10 with a gas motor would be an accident waiting to happen. When it capsizes, does it dump gas and oil into our fishing waters?

[@slacktide_angler]

Dan, you make a great point about self-rescue with a motor. How does that work out? With a gas motor you have at least a 40lb weight on the rear, and a gas tank. With a trolling motor, youve got a big heavy battery which hopefully is affixed to the boat in the event it flips...or for the sake of getting back on and getting back to safety, maybe not. In all reality, a tow is probably in order. IMO, I'd stick with at most a pedal drive.

[@FT4Freedom]

Yes. Soon as it flips that motor is done. Quite a problem for far away from home.

[@jeffreynichols4762]

Thay is nice

[@DTucker36]

Man I wish your shop was in Alabama! I’m looking at a couple tandem kayaks for me and my wife that we can fish out of. There’s just not many out there

[@kona12]

BassAckwardsTV go look at the vibe 130t. Vibe will ship it to you for like $70 bucks. I found out about via headwaters reviews so look back at the vids. The 130t is a good fishing tandem.

[@mattjohnson7835]

Nice! It would have been good to include the front trolling motor option.

[@Hankxiong]

After that head stand! Not once but twice! Im BUYING FORSURE! Take my money!

[@sakelleys]

Wasn't too sure about this boat at first but the handstand that's a selling point....LOL

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Seems like a really good value. For those interested, an actual Torqueedo rep has a youtube channel ( sorry, I can't recall his name) and his top speed in one of the better, larger Jackson fishing kayaks IN PROTECTED, CALM WATER was 5 mph with the Torqueedo. Of course his Jackson is heavier than this craft. I wonder if this Jonny boat can handle a 2.5 hp outboard. If so, you could save a ton of money on power........and still go much faster than the Torqueedo.

[@HeadwatersKayak]

Howabouthetruth yes it’s meant to take a 2.5 and I’ve seen guys run up to 6hp. They don’t advise it though. Was Jeff (from Torqeedo) using a travel motor?

[@howabouthetruth2157]

@@HeadwatersKayak That's good to know. He was using the top of the line Torqueedo for kayaks, with the deluxe battery ( whatever it's called )........I was kind of shocked that it only ran 5 mph top speed in calm water in his big Jackson. He was comparing performance against the Bixby. The video is less than 2 years old I believe. Of course it blew away the Bixby, and I really like the Torqueedo........but they are way too greedy. I know for a fact it takes far more labor, materials, and machining to produce a small gas powered outboard, vs an electric.......yet they charge double.....or more. It's sad actually. They could chop the price in half, and sell SO many more Torqueedo's, that it would more than make up for the smaller profit margin. The way they are priced now, they are LOSING far too much market share. ( This whole "global warming/climate change" thing is nothing but a proven scam anyway. If people want go after A REAL problem about "mankind vs Earth".......they need to go after the military industrial complex and their 24/7 spraying of chem trails. They and their contractors are spraying all over the world, even over the open oceans.........365 days a year. It's so wicked & despicable. ) I believe you are going to sell the Jonny boat like hot cakes!!! Keep up the great work Brother, and tight lines!!! Long time subscriber Steve........Melbourne, Fl.

[@colton6223]

Hey, would you ever consider reviewing the Ozark Trail Pro Angler? It is a cheaper sit on top kayak that is offered by Walmart but seems to have decent stability. I was just wondering what you thought about it. Thanks!

[@alvinwine5665]

I like that with a little 30# thrust trolling motor that would be perfect for the 60 acre lake I live on here in Florida I'm getting too old to paddle much anymore but I still want to get out and fish .

[@HeadwatersKayak]

Alvin Wine perfect tool for the job.

[@packinaglock]

I live in Florida too bud and have been kinda tossing the Kayak thing around in my head. The thing holding me back is gators. I have two job boats but the Kayak sits so low in the water. Does that bother you at all?

[@daltonvaughn1547]

packinaglock you would think they’d be a problem but actually the gators (assuming they haven’t been fed) are more intimidated by how far above the waterline you are than how long the boat is. I’ve kayaked and paddle boarded around gators for a while now and I’d only be worried if I fell off 😂

[@chasereynolds6885]

Awesome, you had to really try to get it to flip. You can't say that for a lot of high priced yaks.

[@Internetpilot]

Great review. I'm intrigued by these hybrid kayaks/boats (this one and the Pelican), but I think I'll stick with my F&S Shadow Caster 123 with its 55# thrust troller on the stern, which is still a very much a paddle craft. In other words, your 3 Waters Big Fish recommendation (they're made by the same manufacturer).

[@stevehogan8829]

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts comparing that Johnny to an OldTown 106 Powered by Minn Kota or the 120 Auto Pilot. Appreciate all of your reviews and over views. Thanks.
