Kayak Fishing: Surviving the Pecos River - Part 3 | Field Trips with Robert Field

[@riffsandwich9541]

This is what kayak fishing is about. The adventure, not going to the same places. Awesome video series.

[@eramon210]

Everything of this series is beautiful. From the struggle to it's pure awe. I left like I was there with every paddle. Thank you for capturing and sharing every moment. Rock on! Tight lines and keep your head on a swivel!! 🤘🏽

[@andrewsnyder179]

this series just gets better and better, I truly want to float this river. what a great filming job and the vidio itself. All I can say is simply awesome! love it.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for the kind words Andrew! Glad you're liking it. Part 4 (the finale) of this series airs Tuesday.

[@danielfronius2078]

Better than anything on TV! Awesome series

[@brandonkirk103]

Love the video Robert, can't wait for part 4

[@txgirl1996]

Amazing video! You never stop making me proud son

[@christopherashby8256]

Jeez I can't imagine all the extra time it takes to nail the drone photography in the rapid scenes. Yall are pros!

[@YakFishField]

That was all Daniel Rodriguez on the drone. It was a lot of hassle, but I was so glad he brought it once I saw the footage.

[@jaykoog]

Watching you pull that dog cactus out of your ankle brought back terrible memories. lol Glad you enjoyed the Pecos. I got trapped on it as an Explorer scout about 40 years ago and have never been so scared in my life. That river can come up 20 feet in the blink of an eye. Really enjoyed your videos!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for the kind words Jay! It's a special place. Reliving the horror of the Langtry Flood was emotional for sure, and I'm certain you experienced something similar.

[@bmiller8255]

What amazing footage and looks like an Awesome place to fish and camp.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man. That river has a special place in my heart for sure.

[@jchae35jc]

Loved every minute of your video. Some day when I manage to come up with the right gear I might go explore this area. Also the rock carvings were very interesting.

[@YakFishField]

It’s an incredible part of the country.

[@brettsoyars4341]

@@YakFishField One of the most amazing things shown in the video were the springs. I would love to see that someday.

[@danmcgowan5801]

[@emilehuggins4124]

Did the exact trip last year about the same time, but took 10 days. The nights were great, the number of fire flies each night was amazing.

[@conwaycritty8019]

Another amazing video man with some of the best scenery i've seen. I've got to kayak through this place atleast once in my life!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks James, go do it! You won't regret it. If I can do it, you definitely can.

[@emilioruiz1798]

[@benbailey4124]

[@YakFishField]

Yeah man, that was all Dan Rodriguez on the drone. I have the same one now, using it in some of my newer vids.

[@jkizzle10]

BRAVO!!! your killing it dude! I envy your editing skills . Loving every minute of the series And how can you not know who Steve Rinella is?? But thats the second time I have heard someone compare you 2, and thats a huge compliment!

[@rcagle123]

Beautiful!

[@millercastillo7327]

EXCELENTE VISEOS LOS 3 Y HERMOSOS PAISAJES FELICIDADES ROBERT

[@papajeff5486]

Thanks for sharing the fishing trip and the beautiful scenery of the Pecos River. Obviously the rocky bottom dragging of the “sit on top kayaks” are the only boats for doing the Pecos. Do you mind to discuss the types and specs of your boats? How did you carry your gear and food? Which boats did the best, the one you liked the best? The price of the boats? It’s a lot to ask I know; but, I’m interested and thought to give it a try. I live in central Texas and would be interested in doing the rivers of Texas. I am sorely ignorant of the type boat best to use on the small rivers. Thank you.

[@YakFishField]

Well for a week-long trip you need something pretty specific, but for a day river trip or even over night er you don’t need anything fancy. I was in a Wilderness Systems ATAK and was happy with how it performed. I carried gear and food in dry bags inside the hull of my kayak. Sit on tops are hollow with storage hatches to access the inside. Tons of room for gear. Just buy camping gear designed for backpacking (small, lightweight) and you’ll be set.

[@papajeff5486]

Robert Field thank you.

[@craigstorms9233]

Bucket list for sure ..

[@YakFishField]

Go do it Craig! It's an incredible place, you won't regret it.

[@TallapoosaOutdoorAdventures]

Gotta love the S/O to History Channel's Ancient Aliens @ 06:00. Ha! Love it!

[@jaydenandarlen8817]

Looks fun man! Keep it up. I went fishing out in the boat and caught a few nice mackerels. I've been exploring the islands right out of the coast of a Western Australia

[@patrickconnors8403]

Reminds me, where I work all security officers have to be EMR certified. I've taken plenty of cactus spines out of hands and legs, using pliers. In our case, it is golfers retrieving their errant balls and not paying attention to the desert terrain, which by the way is cover for all other things either stingy or poisonous. One aspect of the job is capturing and releasing rattlers, that's actually kind of fun.

[@YakFishField]

+Patrick Connors those dog pear cacti are gnarly man. Rattlesnakes, umm, count me out haha

[@patrickconnors8403]

We use tongs and place them in containers for transport, lol. It's not that dangerous.

[@johnbolton7598]

that water is absolutely gorgeous. when will the next episode be up?

[@YakFishField]

Yes it is man! Part 4 (the finale) of this series airs Tuesday. Thanks for checking em out John!

[@samlarkum9308]

how do you only have 48k subs thought you would have at least 100,000 you deserve it

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man, I appreciate that! I'll get there eventually.

[@thekidbilly4243]

keep them coming love ur video...hopefully one day i get to do this too...

[@YakFishField]

Glad you like 'em bro! You can definitely do it if you want to, I talk a little about that in Part 4, which comes out next Tuesday.

[@thekidbilly4243]

Robert Field cant wait....i love too but im from California so its harder for me to do something like that

[@YakFishField]

No sir, there's TONS of cool water out west. Just have to start looking!

[@stevetucker7230]

As a guy learning to make videos and do edits.. You do a really nice job. Great videos

[@southwestcatfishingarizona8264]

Outstanding video !!!!

[@YakFishField]

+southwestcatfishing AZ thanks dude!

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Great part 3. I really like the drone footage as you all shot the rapids. Just curious, how did the yaks hold up to the rocks in the way of cuts and gashes?

[@YakFishField]

They definitely take abuse on this kind of river, no doubt about it. We had one guy crack his hull, the top side where the seat rested on it. But otherwise just aesthetic damage.

[@tomdruhan3921]

I’m always bugging you am commenting on your stuff but I’m a 23 year old who fell in love with ocean kayak fishing and do hvac full time but you inspire me to take some time off to do some once in a life time type shit

[@YakFishField]

That’s awesome man! Get out there and live life!

[@claytonray356]

Hey Robert, How well did your ATAK do on the river? Looking to do some river fishing in addition to small lakes. Would you recommend a 14 foot yak or something smaller? Thanks

[@joeharrper]

Sweet video. I hope my friends and I can do somthing like this onedsy

[@YakFishField]

If I can do it, you can do it bro!

[@LoneStarBackpacker]

Is this in Texas or New Mexico? I've been along the Pecos up in the Santa Fe National Forest around Cowles, NM...it's pretty narrow up there, but the trout fishing is awesome!!

[@matthewschmidt3892]

Nice video!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Matthew!

[@flaviotavares07]

este video e perfeito ... muito bem feito parabéns

[@kut-ritelawns9483]

Great video! Would you ever consider going back to a nice paddling paddle kayak such as a Wilderness Systems Thresher or Ocean Kayak Trident for places where shallow water isn't an issue or are you sold on the Hobie system? Just curious. .

[@chrisritchie573]

Kayak Fisher1987 he is in a wilderness systems kayak in this video.

[@kut-ritelawns9483]

Yes but its not a thresher. Its an ATAK. You could never use a hobie in that rocky river.

[@johnechterhoff4791]

Where exactly were you located during this Part 3? Would I be at least close if I guessed, South of Carlsbad, N.M.?

[@jakesmith658]

Are those Smith Optics Guide's Choice Sunglasses? They look great!

[@mattsloan32]

TMI lol. Great video. and yes prickly pear is a bitch. The long spines are not even the worst.

[@YakFishField]

Yeah those things are gnarly

[@adamstensgaard8529]

Where do you find that great music? Also, are their certain music artists you like to use for your video's?

[@ReadyBlur]

These videos are so good you should of tried to get a tv crew and made a tv series but great videos!

[@YakFishField]

That's the dream buddy. I wish it were as simple as just "getting a TV crew," haha. One day!

[@GWGRC]

Your editing and choice of music for certain scenes remind me of Steven Rinella from Meat Eater but, with Kayaks and fishing instead.

[@YakFishField]

Haha not sure who that is, but I'll take it as a compliment.

[@GWGRC]

It is lol.

[@carsonmcbride746]

How did you keep everything charged for that long?

[@skylercawdrey1204]

Last trip he was using a biolite wood burning camp stove not sure if thats what he is using this time tho

[@YakFishField]

I brought a bunch of extra batteries and battery banks to recharge them. The BioLite Stove is another great option, charges your stuff from fire. There's also one that works as a little turbine that you put in running water to charge USB devices.

[@israeltristan5828]

Robert what kayak is that?

[@YakFishField]

That's the Wilderness Systems ATAK 140, I talk about it in Part One.

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Dog Pear Cactus. You make sure you leave those down there.

[@YakFishField]

Oh we did, along with some of our blood. Haha

[@garrettpark23]

What size dry bag did you use?

[@damnjay_youmadethat572]

Dope !

[@YakFishField]

+Jay Beatz thanks Jay!

[@patrickconnors8403]

I thought that I had watched this series, but no, lol. Excellent adventure, but first things first...

[@blackwaterkayakanglersadve2685]

nice video

[@YakFishField]

Thanks!

[@HolyBrainBible]

back in the 70s my family leased some land near the pecos river .......on the first day we first moved there, I was exploring out back near the corral, and got one of those big cactus in my bare foot...my dad was going to pull it out, but I was afraid of the pain, and I said stop...he asked me to hand him a nearby rock to help get it out, and while I was reaching for the rock, he just yanked out the cactus thorn quickly...same type of cactus shown in this video....

[@YakFishField]

Haha yeah man they don't feel good when they come out. Like I told Dan, "like a bandaid bro."

[@billycruice2709]

what type of tent did you use

[@TheMasterCaster]

Dope

[@Txbassmaster96]

Get it y'all have to eat, but man seeing y'all take fish from such a pristine place was a bit aggravating. Wish it could've been throats hooked fish or something

[@luisjuanelizondo3539]

I thougt your were going to use the drone for an a obove look o the carvings

[@YakFishField]

We did? The footage is in there.

[@luisjuanelizondo3539]

I will see it again! Thank you for answering!

[@bobcampbell3817]

Lol how was that dump in those crazy bushes

[@YakFishField]

Gnarly. Those cane chutes were the worst part of the trip. So many cuts.

[@bobcampbell3817]

Super sweet trip enjoyed watching..... getting a pedal kayak soon.... adventures await..... tight lines my friend....

[@mattsloan32]

IMHO the smaller bass taste better. Just over the legal size is usually the best eating.

[@YakFishField]

I agree, just wasn't sure how many I'd catch so I decided not to be picky. None of them went to waste and they all tasted amazing after a long day!

[@TheDreamCatchers]

You never said if you had a good dump 😂

[@Yourgowindown]

What the name of the intro song? It's great

[@Savage264243]

who's the artist/song name at 7:00?

[@patsypersun9669]

Lol "No way they knew anything about a summer and winter solstice".. You think yourself educated when you only recall the knowledge the ancients discovered. Maybe you meant the just didn't know the words winter and summer solstice ;) they clearly understood the concepts

[@YakFishField]

Right
