**Karma** Solo Skiff Owner FLIPPED His Boat

I challenged my buddy who has a fully loaded Solo Skiff to a fishing challenge. Who can catch the most fish on each platform. It was going good until a major storm hit us. I hunkered down but, my buddy on the Solo Skiff got into some dangerous swells and high winds and flipped his Solo Skiff and lost just about everything.

Leave no man behind! No way I would have left you behind. It could have turned out much worse for Marcus. Glad you guys are safe

Marcus should never have left his buddy. Not safe

[@OffdayTherapy]

I actually offered to pull him back.

Yup I own a solo and gone with friends and got caught in bad weather I’ll go as slow or fast as they can. Never leave a man behind just my two cents

I’m glad you guys made out ok, sometimes the weather is unpredictable, I’m glad you wait out by the grass, smart! 👍🎣

Bro that was great u stopped 2 pic up someone else's trash Big props

[@CamHxC89]

I purchased my first kayak this year, and found your videos trying to learn about trout/redfish fishing on the Texas coast. I do wish I found your videos before I bought my kayak, but you live and learn. As a North Texan, I find your videos very informative and entertaining. Keep up the great work, and stay safe out there!

[@jsanchez4652]

Crazy saw Marcus video. I flipped my little ol pelican kayak once. Never stay parallel to the waves. Very dangerous. Glad you stayed and waited it out. Storms usually don't stay to long. Good thinking nick 👍

Thanks for sharing. Hope Marcus LEARNED something! & you'll got home safe.

Glad we made it back safe. I was that other kayaker. That storm came quick it caught everyone by surprise. Thanks for the great videos and keep those lines tight.

[@miketamusic]

Glad you're safe bro. Thanks for sharing this RX!

[@JAK3080]

Dude that is some scary shit. At 18:30, your hair looks like its being held up by the static electricity in the air! I have been in a bad lightning storm and would never want to be caught out again. Congrats on making it home safe!

[@roverandout2007]

Dude, that's some Gnarly weather! Glad you made it out okay!

[@GatewoodBrown]

Man what a crazy day out fishing. You always hate to get stranded like that but you made it out and so did marcus. Your hair was going crazy there at the end!

[@lazymug]

I was there too..we had to pull over also..thats me at the end of the video

[@samuellevi9190]

Bro, at the end the static electricity was really messing with your hair! Looks like your about to get struck by lightning! Great video, subscribed!

[@interminablyperplexed4903]

Glad all turned out well. From a random dude on the internet who has 30 yrs + experience...very simple plan here...when weather threatens instability, you can still fish, but fish within 5 minutes of your launch no matter the vessel. So for a kayak that may be a couple hundred yards and for a boat, depends on it's speed capabilities. It may be a bummer to alter your fishing strategies, but it just makes everything so much easier and you may actually improve your fishing skills. Taking some folks out this evening...lots of scattered storms today so we will be within a 1.5 miles of launch. Typically if you plan well for shelter on a stormy day you can take cover, wait it out and get back to fishing. With all of that being said, yes stay close to land, preferably a "soft" grassy shoreline and everything will be fine. Always stay calm and avoid trying to outrun oncoming storms that are ahead near the launch site...too difficult to predict. If a storm is behind you and the ramp/launch is ahead and you're confident in your knowledge of the boat and storm speed, then you can typically outrun it and all is well.

[@ReggieFresh]

Glad you and Marcus made it out safely. Last time I got caught by a storm in the kayak, my friend took off into the storm instead of waiting with me as I suggested. I had to go follow him since he was new and couldn’t see anything in the lightning and rain. Found him after he flipped and called his wife. He lost his phone after saying we were in danger. My wife calls me from Mexico freaked out. Storm blows over , he goes home and I went to another spot and caught a 26 in speck. He then sold his kayak. Crazy Fishingman Reggie Fresh

[@itsmeddmorales]

Crazy! I got out of there just in time.. didn’t expect for it to be that bad out there man, glad you both made it to land 👍🏽

[@htx-polestar5377]

Bro! You see what happens when you don’t accept taco invites? Lol. Glad you ok brother! Next time take me that way I’m a bigger target for lightning! Lol.

[@vibecheck1357]

Thanks for picking up trash. People of the outdoors really understand the value of wildlife

[@stephendenlinger3514]

Brutal storm. Learned a lot by seeing you out there in it. Good decision to shut down and chill. Pretty intense. Great adventure. Great video. Thx for sharing with all of us. I lived south of Miami for a number of years. The thunderstorms that regularly came through there were brutal. I'd hate to think of getting caught in one of them.

[@pacr75spnl]

Out together, back together

[@stevehogan8829]

That Kayak is looking good man. Starting to like that color. Rx the only trash talk I heard was coming from the Blue Yak. Nice looking Black Drum. Looks clean and healthy Texas can brew up some pretty good thunderstorms.. Stay safe over there.

[@moblack5883]

Man this show is something else ! You show the good and bad of fishing.

[@mikeh109]

Glad things turned out ok. But 1. Marcus shouldn't have left you "his partner " for any reason! 2. Doing what Marcus did is the reason we may end up reading or hearing about a lot person one day when things dont go right. Hope that is never the case for him but really bad call on his part. and i hope this thought him a lesson in life 3. You gotta slow down and think things out when conditions change on a dime. RX you did the right thing in pulling off to the side and waiting it out. No shame in it. it happens to us all and it will happen again just gotta be smart and wait it out.

[@michaelcollins7621]

Holy smokes!!! Just now seeing this one. So glad you guys are ok.

[@tommyturner3001]

Man.. Thats crazy. Good thing y'all made it out safe. The rods can be replaced but not a life

[@KeeganVera]

Way to many good days to fish in Texas. I never go out far when lightning is possible !

[@JesusGutierrez-lq8zh]

We just missed this storm as well. It came out of no where. Seen your FB post as we were leaving. Glad you ended up being ok. And I did check the weather before we headed out and there was nothing. That storm literally came out of nowhere.

[@GettinSalty]

I fish that area and have been stuck in a storm out there, did the same thing and just got into the marsh grass . Stay safe and . Tight lines

[@derek56ace]

I'm glad you are both safe and learned a valuable lesson. Even if he didn't flip he or you could have been struck by lightning.

[@fishingtacklechannel]

Are there any apps that connects with the coast guard to determine whether it’s safe to fish based on swells, wind, and weather? In Korea, CG is pretty good about informing the fishing community when and when not to go out by pushing notices to those that subscribe.

[@edgarvaladez8981]

Where do you launch at the back lake ?

[@daviddura1172]

no laughs from me...Anxious yes.....glad you are both safe......

[@rlo5547]

I wonder if "Expandacraft" outriggers would have helped prevent flipping the solo skiff. I have been looking at the solo skiff but I am on the bigger side of its persons capacity which is 250 lbs. I understand that the outriggers add a ton of capacity and stability. Just thinking out loud because I have been seriously considering the solo skiff.

[@carlosgarza1763]

Glad you guys okay brother

[@TGODxRaid]

Glad you’re ok

Hey Nik, glad you guys were both OK! Just wondering why you got rid of your Oldtown 120 Pwrd by Minnkota. I finally received mine after almost 2 yrs. I know you like to fish skinny water, sight fish, etc. I fish the same way. But Extremely large lakes and resevoirs. It's more llike a one man boat. It's just an amazing vessel. 🙏 🎣 🤙

[@RXAngler]

Congrats on your new boat! It’s a great platform that will give you many years of enjoyment. The Hobie is best for my fishing style.

That solo skiff needs at least 3 more power poles some FLIR, and generator to charge some batteries for extra trolling motor.

[@andylee4764]

Crazy video, glad you guys made it out.

Good move to stay stationary like that. I don't agree that Marcus went on ahead. That was a noob move. Sorry you guys had trouble but good for you for sitting tight and getting back intact.. Good lesson for all of us.

I have to agree with others, Marcus should’ve stayed with u, never know what could’ve happened but at least y’all are good n safe, keep up with the vids 👍

[@spanglishangler]

I could go 20mph faster than you! But I wouldn’t never let my fishing buddy behind. Especially with bad weather coming in. I have a kayak with a 2.5hp Yamaha and my buddy only uses a 30lb thrust trolling motor on his. He is ALWAYS eyesight away from me. I am sorry to say this, but since my young age I was told that you learn a lot from people by the actions they take in difficult times. Glad you made it safe.

I watch his video he definitely should have pulled over and let storm passed glad you guys made it safe.

That trolling motor upfront is probably what did it. Doesn't look very stable. Does solo skiff recommend that?

[@jakewkayakfishing8457]

Last trip out we got caught in a freak squall that came out of nowhere when making the final crossing of Chokoloskee Bay after exiting the 10,000 islands. The winds came out of nowhere so fast that it nearly flipped me in my Predator PDL. Fortunately I was able to quickly lean into the wind and keep my balance. 8 years kayak fishing and that is the closest I have come to flipping.

[@johnmanic761]

18:43 is that hair up from the wind or static in the air

[@CoastalK]

I noticed that too

[@SpicyAngler]

So so crazy it is super frightening and obviously dangerous. Thanks thanks G-D you both came out of it no severe damage. That’s why they say ‘God is in the trenches’ only when you are under ‘fire’ you look up and pray. Great video after all.. well done.

[@juanperales8105]

Glad your ok man. What battery do you run in your kayak ? How long does it last you ?

[@darkerbrother1]

Most decent VHF radios have weather alert. Fishing from a boat without a VHF radio that has weather and can float. Is an accident waiting to happen The coast guard has no patience with that. You have to respect the water . A DSC VHF radio is even better to have . The DSC button allows other boaters to know where you are.

[@llshamelessll]

Just get a mini skiff and be done with it. Much safer too.

I never owned a motor boat or kayak but looks like his buddy panic a bit cause water not that deep lol

Wait are you comparing fisherman or fishing platforms? If platforms then why would Marcus give up his speed advantage? Getting to the spot first is a definite advantage of the solo skiff.
