RC Boat Attacked By Fish

[@red91sitoriginal]

that little tug boat is awesome!

[@GALLEN-vf7uy]

Gonna buy something like that TODAY ! I need a plan b incase self righting fails

[@G56AG]

The fish is telling you that you are exceeding the fishes speed limit on that pond!

[@HighlanderNorth1]

How do I get those 6 minutes of my life back? Lol

[@martyv5417]

That could have easily been a 20 second video.

[@THESkiViking]

4:02 ← Click it. Here's were the boat collides with a fish.

[@brandnazvi9354]

+theskiviking fish like SUPRISE Bitch c:

[@travispratt6327]

Is that an Asian woman or a kid doing baby talk?

[@VancouverIsland1]

This is one way to get the hit count up, Thumbs up

[@merztire]

"help francis" "don't call me that" lol

[@DiehardRCaddicts]

To be honest I haven't run Nitro for about 20 years, I would suggest checking the rc forums to see which brands are popular now. Just make sure it's a good reputable brand and you should be fine.

[@GALLEN-vf7uy]

Nice recovery system using that tug boat

[@cuddles6938]

I bet the fish was like "WTF? Seriously Dude! You're making a hella lot of noise in my pond. Don't think I'll take that boat out, watch this boy!" haha..

[@4thGloryMonday]

I've been rc boating for years and never seen that happen thumbs up bud

[@JakelaWeeze]

That was a massive large mouth bass. Those are also probably the only fish that would go after that I want to fish that lake

[@m40_kid70]

if it was from Tennessee/north Carolina, up my vote would be musky

[@nomusicrc]

Is that gas lol Thank you for not adding music to the video and filming horizontally

[@Fuktupratbag]

Holy shhhhhhit ! I had no idea those things were that fast. DAM that's cool. I'm not an RC boat fan but that is def cool.

[@vince38curious2]

OK some tips from an old rc boat racer from down under..First that yellow hull needs some trim tabs tied into a mix so you can keep the nose down in the straights and set up so it pushes the nose down in the corners so you can stay full throttle longer and not worry about flipping or flying off into the wind. Second I used to take an old fishing rod with a 3gang anchor type hook with blunt tips to retrieve my boat when it did flip or run out of fuel :-D Hope that helps :_D

[@Rickycooke1gmail]

you got suggestions for my smash shark on 4s? it wont stop skipping ive setup the prop so its lower and that lowerd the skip enough to reach higher speeds but on witha very slight turn, it doesnt come with trims tabs its a stepped v hull if im right. im upgradin to a 2200kv leopard brushless motor and 5s lipo soon just want some advice to keep it more stable. ive got onboard footage if that may help

[@vince38curious2]

Ricky Cooke Try adding trim tabs and a hook blade like you see on the inside sponson of a hydro/outrigger to the transom. placed about 1 inch inside from side you turn. The guy I buy all my boats from puts them on as a matter of course and my boat turns on a dime at full noise 90 degree turn in 1,5 boat lengths or less. hope that helps.

[@Rickycooke1gmail]

I ended up buying somw tfl trim tabs 38mm x 32mm as suggested on a few race boat forums and im well and truly hitting over 60 kmh due to zero skipping. Tried a 6s on my leopard 2200 kv 3674 motor and im not doing that again - too quick but still stupid stable. Can wait to get my new prop the old one has a good chip towards the front the old prop is a 38mm 1.4p and i still waiting for the 1.4p 40mm prop. Setup runs near hot in esc due to the rudders small watter nipple but every ither niple is quite large. So im reaserching some rudders with a twin water pickup and 3.5 - 4 mm nipples so it cools properly. Im guestamating top speed will be over 100 kmh once finished on 6s. And 4s roughly 60-70 kmh

[@vince38curious2]

Ricky Cooke Now you are cooking with Gas Nice job,, glad the trim tabs helped.. regards Vince

[@Rickycooke1gmail]

im having trouble balancing my 40mm prop i just got - am i meant to be filing down th flat spot on the back of the blade? been using a magnet balancer with rounded magnets so its very accurate but ive shaved a fair bit off and its still heavy on the shaved side wtf?

[@JasonC1981]

Man those boats go pretty good for being electric. Nice vid on the fish. Thats crazy. It was probly a bass.

[@lollollollollol48]

which one do you per fur. I'm going to be running in a little copy water. what will handle better

[@thesagebandit]

big rainbow was probably trying to go for a bug and your boat happened to hit it, then the rainbow spased out and jumped. if you look it has a flash of pink and red, bass down have that, it also might have been a brown trout ahah.

[@DiehardRCaddicts]

@tydb1 thanks for the boat retrieval idea. Frank and i were talking about making a special retrieval boat with a big U-shape front hull. may be in a future video. Thanks for watching!

[@danielgomes-ur3rm]

It was probably a bass that attacked it

[@justinjensen100]

Call me blind, I see no fish!

[@carygrant051983]

I have a suggestion to make the rescue of your boats a lot easier, Simply put a couple of rare earth magnet on your rescue boat or speed boats.Weight is minimal and strong enough to capture and tow boat back to safety.

[@marktawfik9775]

Hi just wondering wats the motor on the sea fire because i hav the same hull and i want to have that same performance and the ESC and propeller as well plz!! thx

[@philski24]

pretty great example as to why you grab the waterproof clear hockey tape and seal the hatches... ive flipped my brushless cat so many times on big lake, but have never had a drop inside it

[@genuz]

It seems clear to me the boat hit a wave and what you think is a fish is actually a splash of water from the impact reflecting the light.

[@nutcracker113]

what kind of fish was it

[@frotozoid]

Hi rc addict. Quick question. How do u keep d boat clean? Any wax or chemicals u can.recommend??

[@norgesvei]

what is the name of both of the boats ?

[@bestamerica]

' hope many bottom fishes loves to watches this 2 boats above the water

[@SightCentralVideos]

skip to 4:00 for the action

[@kaleidascopes]

Do the electronics no longer work ?

[@DiehardRCaddicts]

@TheLipRipp3r Haa haa, Yeah, Not sure if the fish tried to bite the boat or if it was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. If the fish got hit by the prop or rudder, it wasn't a hppy fish. Earlier that day we Frank's boat hit something too, we think it was a fish too, but din't get it on film. It was near Dusk, so maybe the fish were feeding on bugs at the time too, LOL

[@justin9202]

that was definitely a bass, or northern. Those fish are the only ones big enough to do significant damage to a boat that size. I'm sure it wasnt a muskie though because then it would have probably swallowed the boat whole.

[@michaelgodwin6654]

Hats off to the person behind a camera for getting that attack of the killer fish you don't get that often!!.. whoever's behind the camera good job because you just happen to be filming the right time the right place and you got a slight Loch Ness monsters brother you never get it on film and you got it good job buddy

[@itzcscgaming1891]

what kind of rc boats are those?

[@Triscuitwells]

Do you not pay attention? Watch the video again.

[@DiehardRCaddicts]

You probably can use 20% but won't be very fast. When I used to run nitro boats we used at least 40% but preferred 60% to go fast. That was back in the 80s and 90s. They probably use stonger than that by now.

[@DiehardRCaddicts]

@catamaranman333 you know your rc boat stuff!! In stock form Paul's boat was running a bit faster than mine so I was tried to trim it to squize all I could out of mine. The SurgeCrusher's power system has been upgraded since then with a 1600watt motor and 180A esc. By the way "Don't call me Francis!" "If you call me Francis I Kill ya!!" LOL!!!! Quote from the movie "Stripes"

[@jeremywestern7067]

I dont get it... How can the fish be radio controlled??

[@Scree1972]

The Fish Wasn't Radio Controlled, It Lives in the Lake, where those idiots were playing with their little toy boats!

[@DiehardRCaddicts]

I actually got it online from vac-u-boats and modified it to add the arms out front.

[@supermanmanofsteel2311]

Dude! That suuuucks! It looked like a snapping turtle or a bass got to it

[@SuperExcedrin]

lol, you just know the fish were schooling around daring each other to catch it........hilarious.

[@tydb1]

A good idea for retrieving the other boat is to make a foam piece that just tapes on to the other boat on the front that is a large arc to go around the other boat so it cant go anywhere but the direction the pushing boat does

[@BWWGL9]

What Brand & Model is the TUG?

[@gatti493]

what is it with people these days, i hope that lovely lady that's with you does'nt see these ignorant comments !

[@rannarizal]

such cool name for youtube channel

[@catamaranman333]

yellow boat probably needs down trim...it sounds/looks like it's porpoising... LOL@ Thom "Help Francis!"

[@stevefox3763]

fill the front legs with expanding foam, it will be unsinkable

[@kncklesandwich]

What kind of fuel would you Recommend ?.

[@frotozoid]

Paul love your seafire man. I have one too but mine sucks water real bad. Tried everything to seal d hull from water with silicone. Any tips.to reduce this problem?ned help badly.

[@moone7555]

mean people sayin the fish attacked you hit the fish

[@nzane1216]

Fuck you. It is the fish.

[@jakedassan4117]

Fuck you. You're the fish

[@michaelgodwin6654]

I just discovered this channel today and I'm very glad y'all posted this because I had no idea of the RC was even a sport I know I mean I love it but I didn't know it was a professional sport I just found a new hobby hats off to the camera person really good job really good you got the fish on film and that's what matters awesome job camera person... couple of these remarks uncalled for and a bit mean what if you had a KZbin channel and your child video tape and paper called your child names how would you feel I think the camera whoever was behind a camera person did a damn fine job I got the fish on film and capture of the entertainment what else the summer you people want from somebody filming he could edit to do it but then I wouldn't have as much fun watching the race why post something if you want to edit it.. so I think he posted the best video they good I think it was awesome people want to talk smack about it talk smack the camera person did a great job driving the boats are awesome and make things to top things off a tugboat that could fetch go figure awesome awesome....

[@joelewasz9585]

So were can you buy thouse boats

[@youtmeme]

lol! u should race those where those jumping asian carp are!! :)

[@familylife153]

z

[@alexduncan7968]

That would be insane

[@kevinkrska5569]

Did he died?

[@fire780]

can you do a video with the sea fire boat on a singel 3s lipo and show how fast it is ??

[@jakemcdonald8911]

How much did each rc boat cost?

[@mayi420uplease]

I think you should use electrical tape or something along those lines to tape the seal around the canopy. I have had a few boats sink from turtles, even had my own turtle attack with a mini brushless boat and it was underwater for almost a minute.

[@blagota1]

Holy mac and cheese and maples thats a big fish!

[@Rickycooke1gmail]

just a suggestion try using some rubber windows sticky tape sealer if the hatch is bolted or something similar if its tapped its tapped

[@tubergenmotorsports4193]

Who said, "Mail order Boat,,, Mail order Bride?"

[@MrCarponizer]

the fish hits the boat ?? u mean the boad hits the fish and kills him

[@gearheadaddict7183]

That was cool.. all about having fun.. hell with that fish 🐠 lol 😂

[@welderusa9063]

That's cool you guys have your mom hanging with yall

[@ericj8046]

Is this like a special Olympics of RC Boat Racing who's the announcer ??

[@zhurbich]

what is the name of the boat

[@BluewaterCreativeFL]

"ouch , splayed by water"

[@amayers7]

I run r c boats also and I have a cheap casting rod with a tennis ball to cast across over the boat to retrieve it when this happens.

[@Rusty_trombone62]

"Ohhh wook at ta wata" ""peeez"

[@jackbrown6579]

the fish that "ATTACKED" the boat was a large mouth bass and it was probably protecting its fry thinking the boat was a small duck landing to attack its fry "offspring of bass who are too small to evade pretators".

[@chaseyost7132]

That fish is brave to jump at a boat with it going like 30 mph

[@toordog1753]

you need to tune those boats....

[@TheLipRipp3r]

Thumbs up for the angry fish! hahahahaha

[@mattniven6380]

I think it hit a blind mullet

[@russelllamonaco2283]

Great name for a rock group

[@vijayrajthala5707]

its like a flying a helicopter around a somebody house

[@MrGarey1]

This is why you should carry a small fishing pole with you when you go R/C boating. In case of upset , cast a line with a good weight on it to snag yer boat. I almost lost a $1,400 dollar boat from an upset and no fishin pole.

[@humblerc841]

you could also get a cheap kayak and tote it allong.

[@RickSanchez-hn8yh]

Or you could just swim and get it...

[@MeinNameistFlo]

You had to tape the cover from the receboat, so it will be water proof ;)

[@HardRockMiner]

Muskie?.. Maybe a Pike?... what kinds of fish are in there?

[@Sugarglider1]

Great Video... enjoyed it !

[@JamieBonnett]

put heliblades on the bottom of the boat so when it flip you can engage them and fly it out

[@-Uranos-]

That's not a kid, it's Beemo from Adventure Time

[@CardzRC]

Like for your vid. Both boats are really cool and fast. I'd like to get one. Nice that you have that little pond to play around on.

[@woabeatz9717]

that was a bass....

[@charliepickelfork1128]

The RC tug is a good idea, is that just a cheap WalMart boat?

[@joeblow3823]

How about loosing the first 3 1/2 minutes of the vid - not relevant to the topic

[@blakanal7222]

Don't be so rude

[@barryleach5234]

The lady in the video has the sweetest voice. who is she.?????

[@onthedownlow100]

It's Marry Poppins didn't you know :)

[@paulwolfe7728]

No, there was a fish, but it struck the water after the boat crossed a previous wake at an aggressive angle, thus causing said boat to rise unevenly out of the water. It doesn't take much lift at all to cause formula style boat hulls to flip. The guy driving the red boat really needs to learn how to respect the property of others though. I mean, we learn how to do that in the early years of elementary school for Pete's sake!! It was terrible for him to damage the yellow boat like that. After the two boats became ensnared, he continued to spin the heck out of his propeller.You could hear the red boat's prop hitting the yellow boat, and still he continued hitting the throttle!! Is he so clueless that he didn't realize his prop could really damage the other boat?!? Not to mention the fact that it was flat out stupid to take such a risk when they had an actual rescue boat!!! What a buffoon!! If I were the owner of the yellow boat I would have cussed that dude out at the top of my lungs, then started throwing rocks at his boat!!! He was being an inconsiderate A-hole weather he meant to or not........ (Kudos to the owner of the yellow boat for keeping his cool while his "friend" blatantly tried to chop away at his own, very expensive formula race boat!!)

[@anthonythorp7291]

"You call me Francis I'll kill ya" classic.

[@bestamerica]

' where is the water pond in local place... i have 2 R/C boats are firehawk boat and traxxas villain boat

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

Ouch , bad water ! . I hope no one melted !!!

[@MrJJK2010]

as the backup boat gets attacked by the killer fish

[@FranklinaerialimagesKiwi]

tape your hatch down man... no water

[@SWhite-hp5xq]

Save you 6min... go to 4:00 and watch a splash of water arise as he gets out of shape with the boat. Spoiler... there is no freakish fish attack sadly.

[@brobade]

Use hockey tape to seal the lid and no more water will get in.

[@jonathanerickson1543]

you can tell the fish was getting rlly anoyed by the boat so he though i will catch him at the next turn. make sure u zigzag

[@markjohntaming7754]

The fish is like its enough.

[@robertonline6543]

MR HOOPER MORE LINE.... YOUR GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT.

[@tylerpowell3616]

sounds like someone has a mail order bride...... possibly from the Philippines

[@DiehardRCaddicts]

@NoobyRC Haa haa, no i did not see that movie. Yeah, it looked like RC boat spawning or something, LOL

[@michaelgodwin6654]

Good film job got the fish 🐟 and tug. Awesome
