Both Alaska and FL have similar environments. One is never to old to learn new things. Thanks brother.

[@AliexFolgueira]

That's right

[@fishingtimeletsgo598]

Hello Aliex, I am liking this craft, little crate in the back - rod holder up front - fwd/rev drive - lightweight - you can catch fish out of it - like you did - nice peacocks by the way - thanks for the vid🎣👊👍

[@richardcox-d9c]

Hey Alex…love all the reviews and stuff! I was wondering which yakattack crate you’re using on the uptown….the 16” x 16” or the 13” x 16”? Thanks!

[@BottomLineBassin2]

Jajajaj love how you went through the intro with a straight face 😂

[@AliexFolgueira]

Hahahahaha thanks brother

Love those alaskan palm trees.

Hello Alex, congratulations on the videos they are very good, this fish is native to Brazil here we call it "Yellow Tucunaré" I'm a big fan of your content congratulations

[@AliexFolgueira]

Awesome I wanna catch them there

[@harold0723]

@aliexflogueira it would be cool to see this craft with an electric motor mod installed in the center pod. Have you installed an electric motor on the uptown ?

[@AliexFolgueira]

not yet but i will install the bixpy on the rudder, and the autobost thru the drivewell like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/m17Ld2CCZs-qpNUsi=rLd_08TTFfgPaLtk

So you are enjoying that inflatable vibe? Love to see how it does in like a 10mph wind. Do not want to endanger you so 10mph seems reasonable.

[@AliexFolgueira]

20 plus soon, the thing is that inflatables don't get views for me, so i have to make a decision to go fishing for me lol

[@MrAndersonMusic056]

@@AliexFolgueiraI’m interested in inflatables now lol I don’t have a truck anymore so right now I’m using the Bote Zeppelin but I’d really love this Peddle Drive instead! It looks like an awesome fishing platform 😮

Have you taken it out on the ocean yet?

[@harold0723]

I have , no issues. Very stable. I have wakeboard boats passing near me creating waves . I wouldn't recommend it though on a windy day on the ocean

[@pendragofan]

hey aliex do you have a second channel? if not then someone is stealing your videos

[@AliexFolgueira]

Yeah, kayak reviews by aliex?

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Hmmm, KZbin unsubscribed me from your channel. I'm back, but interesting...

[@AliexFolgueira]

Welcome back! bro people say i complain too much about how bad youtube treats this channel, but this is proof of that, and you arent the only have that have been unsubscribed by the robot. I have a second channel I'm working on, when it gets monetized it may be the main channel.

[@TheFishAndTrips]

@@AliexFolgueira you're in Florida bro, aka fisherman's heaven. With 52,000 subs on this channel, I think you can still rebrand and revive it to please the algorithm gods. Once again being in Florida, I think if you just focused more on the fishing and not the kayak and motors reviews, you can revive your channel's views.

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@TheFishAndTrips thats the plan, the channel has never been just kayaking, thats what i'm known for but if you look at where the views come from, is more small plastic boats and motors. Working on more adventure fishing type videos, coming.

[@moblack5883]

@@AliexFolgueira possibly do kayak and motor reviews on your shorts. keep video algorithm with fishing.

[@AliexFolgueira]

@moblack5883 I got millions of shorts views, not worth it on KZbin, it kills your channel long form videos.

[@stillamydude]

Tighten up your drag

[@AliexFolgueira]

Why

[@stillamydude]

@@AliexFolgueira Tightening the drag makes it harder for the fish to run and take line, while having a loose drag makes it easier.

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@stillamydude no structure, light line, enough drag to bring it home
