When I use to fish with my step dad we fish the side of the barge big hits

Nice boat and great ride

Where can we find the rest of this build??

I caught a freshwater Drum ~18inches just south of there (Alton Illinois) bank fishing the Mississippi. Also saw a Gar carcass washed ashore. Good area for fishin

I have 5 acc rods they are great

I checked with out DNR and they said this specific plastic pipe is great to build cover. If you see spools of this pipe on the side of the road , just ask them. They have to send the short pieces to the dump

What was the cost?

Love the boat i want one like that with dual consoles all the way up front where the whole back of the boats open to fish and big bait tank

Just hopped on the site. The colors are mental.

I have the millinium t bar for crappie. I would never use these for catfish in the rivers or where you hold big cats. The only way I would if you reinforced the base. The base mount is not designed for bigger fish. Its awesome for crappie or similar fish.

Yes $50,000 worth of tools and materials

hi thickness of plate aluminum

That’s a fat boys dream boat.

Where did you launch your boat? I have a heck of a time finding boat launches.

What a man!

how about you don't litter in the lake, I can tell you it doesn't need more plastic. It's fine for a private pond, but this is ridiculous.

You must love fishing, good job

I’d like to see the hook remover you are using, and where do you get it?

Pond looks a little small for Crappie, but it's been 3 years. Any updates?

We cut the tops off some cedar trees and put them in our pond, when we feed the fish, most seem to be near them,😊

What about a shallow lake 8 to 9 ft

Brilliant!

wat happned 2 pond magnement?

3 years later... where is part 2?

The way you flip fish back is hard on them and disrespectful looking.

You are one talented dude!!!!

Go to a hydraulic hose maker and see if you can get the empty plastic spools. If you can, take it set like a stump. Cut A 3 sided flap on an end, place rock or brick inside center piece and throw in. May want to put A few holes in end pieces for air to get out.

How much did it cost to build this boat?

Great video. This helps for people trying to figure out what these brush piles look like on SI. All the best.

Do you still use the GPSMAP 1022

My two cents…. The yellow pipe is for gas, it has poison to prevent rodents chewing. I don’t know about orange but I would check

Question on the 1222,I tried calibrating the compass and when I push the start button, Nothing happens and it stays at 0%. I was in calm water and trolling motor stowed and I used the main motor to go in a circle 1.5

Nice one

Just a bit of info: The limit is 2 as you said but the possession limit for paddlefish is also 2.

great tip ! thank you !!!!!!

I fished there with show-me catfish on 9/10/23 for 4 hours. I caught 3 blues 18, 24, 28 pounds and a channel and a flathead that were both 7 pounds. But you really got into em! Great video.

Nice! Welding on the floor before a float test! Bold!

Bet you got sick of that spool gun lol! Boat looks awesome though! Sure it was all worth it !

Is there anything you would change if you could do the build over again?

How many bottles of argon did you go thru?

Love this video, But I’m going to need to to get a fish scale lol.

What ramp do you put in at to fish near downtown? I have a 2025 Lund Impact XS, been wanting to get out on the Mississippi since I live here in STL. Been a little nervous getting on the big river.

How about a 2 year update how did they hold up or did you have to replace them already?

I love that you are running a 200HP motor with a tiller. Keeping it simple. Nothing to break or maintain on the steering system. Grease is it!

Aluminum is such a great material to work with. A water-cooled spool gun will make the job easier and faster. Great job buddy!

Lots of hard work ahead. Good job, Stuart!

She's a beauty, nice job man.

Really enjoy all your videos , especially catfishing videos. Would like to see a few more jug lining videos. I used your simple way of making noodles and it sure has worked for me here in south texas. Keep catchin 3:55

Outstanding tip! Works perfectly for me. I think it also allows feeling the upward bite better than having a lead weight on top the jig. Question- The plastics that I’m threading through the line is very soft. I’m wracking my brain trying to come up with a more firm piece of plastic. Do you have any ideas? Thanks, Dan Ayo
