Thank you. Just picked up my 2025 919 ZXL. Forgot to ask how it came out, looks straightforward.
Thanks for watching!
Don’t want to be controversial and your videos are excellent but don’t you have concerns about those lithium batteries? As I understand it they are affected by cold temperatures, bumps- bangs and heat. I am concerned about losing my dream boat.
@@jamesathendune9026 not one bit
Yeah I aint gonna lie that was my first time trying the overhead shot thing while running.
It did ok 👍🏻
may i ask how many 20 minute loops will a 32gb card hold? thank you
I don’t know
Good stuff big Jim.
Thanks for watching!
I love my VX card!! Good info here!
Thanks for watching!
Tell the wife you need to get a drone now.

I fished the bfl for over 20 years and made it to the pinnacle of the tournament trail the all American without livescope and yes I got my head beat in and instead of crying like a Randy supporter I bought and I am trying to learn the new technology like everyone else and every new technology that comes out and now people are crying about it now I worked and spent the money and can’t use it I loved about 99% of my co anglers and several of them cashed checks and won but I can can say on the other hand several never game me a dime so it boils down to people crying and people fishing out of the back of my boat I can’t use after I pay a higher tournament fee spend 3 to 5 days practicing now I’ve spent 4000 grand for nothing no thank you mlf and bfl you can keep your tournament trail
As of now, it’s allowed in 2025! Thanks for watching!
🔥🔥
Thanks for watching!
IMO It's pretty clear the line in the sand should be Live sonar. Not to say it should be banned for rec use but at the top level it's not what is best for the growth of the sport. I have a great example of another perspective these Orgs are completely missing if they truly want to capture new viewers. My neighbor saw me in the boat garage and asked me what my live sonar transducer was on the troliing motor. I told him it was a live sonar transducer that allowed me to scan and see fish in real time. He immediately said "wow that's cheating isn't it?" His other comment was "that kinda takes the sport outta fishing doesn't it?" Not saying it should be banned for rec use, but if any of the Orgs truly want to get pro bass fishing more mainstream then they have to remove these perceptions!
@@Bassfinatic-hb4dp this video was not about the pro tour though.
That cooler isn't big enough for two guys all day no way
It is. Been using it for 5 years
I personally feel that ffs and other types of fish finders have taken the true challenge out of the sport .. I think anglers who are considered professionals should be able to go on a lake and catch good fish without the helping hand of electronics
Good comment, but this video is about the BFL (working man tournament trail, 1 day)
The thumbnail is a trick question, right? Why use two graphs at the console. Easy, because I don't have the room or the budget for three right now.
Thanks for watching!
If anyone else went down the HDS rabbit hole and can't afford a complete refit to Solix, you can setup shading and satellite overlay on your C-Map as well. I did enjoy the video though as I have often dreamed about adding a 3rd graph at the console just to get Lakemaster.
Thanks for watching!
Equipping it with Helix 7’s is just abysmal, why would they build a zxl and not even spec it out to take advantage of the new design?
That’s the basic package from Phoenix to keep the price down. You can always upgrade.
How much?
Link in description, give them a call
@@BigJimFishing I did there like 76 thousand dollars which seems a bit steep 👍
I bought an LVS32 last year to keep up in local leagues. Installed it in my boat and decided I don’t want to compete if I have to use it. I just won’t do it. It really bothered me having it on my boat and I felt like I was disrespecting the sport I love.
This is the point of view of many anglers. To be good at it, you have to commit to it. It’s the reason a lot of older guys don’t like it.
Its ridiculous what these TM cost now in my opinion
Everything my man. Houses, trucks, groceries…
Agreed but the old tms didnt do anything close to these.
They are banning ffs because of the losers like Randy blaiket and other veterans that can’t win anymore and ffs proves that the veterans ideology about bass behavior has been wrong for the past 30 plus years. Cry babies!!!!!
Great comment!
Boater.....Gator Div....don't care either way. Honestly Co's aren't my problem. Choice they made. I was a co for a short while. BFL pros aren't guides. JMO. Also fushed Redmans from both sides, and dealt with boat on boat draws. Is what it is. That being said, I would prefer to fish by myself
@@brent3323 thanks for watching!
They just need to make separate classes for tournaments. One group for ffs and one that is no ffs.
I don’t think they could manage that in a single event.
First off I enjoy your videos if I didn’t I wouldnt watch. To a large degree your attitude, personality is why I watch. You present yourself, sponsors etc., etc. in a positive light don’t change that. Your video of the spotlighting controversy is excellent. The lists of pros and cons make all the sense. I’ve been retired from tournaments this month 25 years haven’t stopped watching the shows, still go n the tackle stores etc. I still look up guys we all traveled together, shared rooms, spots, yada yada still miss the life to a degree.
@@greggwallacefi9422 thank you!
Isn't this boat a little wider. Surely they didn't redesign a top cap just for a depth finder. Figured the XL meant bigger.
Yes on 721, no data for the 19 footers
I love having my mega 360 up front on one solix unit, along with chart view, and my mega live on the other bow solix unit.
It’s a great set up.
What you are not saying… AT ALL… is why is FFS GOOD… for the sport… for bass populations… for anything… What you are saying is… I WANTthis… therefore listen to me rant about a bunch of misdirection so that I don’t have to admit FFS is BAD for fishing and I can get what I WANT!
@@davidsnow1178 😂
Another awesome video Shipmate. Thanks for sharing.
@@chipangelicamartelle802 thanks for watching!
why isn't it the 919 zxl??? bow plate like every other brand now? need inside views of the boxes also!!!
Cause it’s not. No 225, no graph and trim upgrades. They do make a 919 ZXL, I just have not seen it yet.
bottom line is bfl co angler money contribution is down so far that it has come to this. I would not be a co angler either if i was stuck on the back of a boat while you scope and chase fish out in the middle of the lake. i am a boater who doesnt have ffs by the way
Thanks for comment. Why is it that all the non ffs supporters are over 40?
This will make boaters hate ffs more
Only the ones that don’t like it
big jim do you think you get a better return image from putting transducer on shaft or on the side of the trolling motor ? Thanks
@@TheFloatit trolling motor
@@BigJimFishing i just did the update on my solixs 4.2 and live 1.3 I want to see what I get tomorrow on the lake. I turned the transducer on the shaft ti put to the right to see what I get then I turn it back to straight ahead and see that. See what image is better. I’m thinking that side mount they sell will be better. I think net money sells them on here.
It's official ffs Is banned in bfl next yr I hav a inside connection so glad this happened
Not official as of Labor Day morning.
@@BigJimFishing yea jus not "officially" announnced
@@garyheath9531 send me contact info so I can verify for a video
@@BigJimFishing can't but will b released very shortly. U can bank on it
@@garyheath9531 seems like speculation, just like my video
It's not fair chase 😮
@@stevemarler7039 it is
So Phoneix made a new model and only changed 1 item ? Fibreglass bow. Why not just upgrade the original 819 pro seems excessive to do a new model just for a small item to be different.
2…dual graph console is standard
@@BigJimFishing yes but that is an option on the 819 pro which isn’t that expensive! The bow is the only real change to the boat and to make a series out of it seems crazy 😅 Why not just have a 819 pro with the optional fibreglass bow stack like the option to have dual dash shroud. I personally have 819 pro myself and would rather just have it as an option for the pro model.
@@michaelcolotouros4973 everytime a top cap is redesigned they give it a new model
Good video! I love my quest! Thanks for the tips I didn't know about the goto cursor only the goto waypoint.
@@JimGrady67 thanks for watching!
Jim that’s a Beautiful Boat! I just wish I could afford one. Being a disabled Vet I just can’t do it. That’s my dream Brother!
@@jameslovelace8958 maybe one day
I agree with you on all it
Thanks for watching!
What is the length with tong folded and motor trimmed down Thanks want to see if it will fit in my garage
22’5”
Where are the power poles,are they separate?what about the prop,is it separate?
Prop comes with, power poles are extra
Nice! Always cool seeing all the new models from all the brands..
Thanks for watching!
Great video big jim have a bless day brother
Thanks for watching!
Boat looks nice, I'm just not a fan of Phoenix boats. That boat fully rigged out will cost you around 80K plus.
Thanks for watching!
That's nowhere close to an $80k boat.
@@mattmcveigh2267 Rigged out!!! Not what comes with the boat. That boat is around 68K start.
@notsogood6249 2024 819 pro was significantly less, force trolling motor, 2 12" garmins, livescope and just about every option (no poles or hydraulic plate) you can put on an 819 was well below 70k. I wouldn't thinking a 2025 zxl would be over 10k more but I've never priced one.
@@mattmcveigh2267 Okay I get. Let's add Power Poles and Hydraulic jack plate $6K plus labor. Let's add batteries because you only get 1 with the boat, sales tax, dealer prep, tag, ect. TN has a 10% sales tax. Prices on new boats are out of this world now for the working man today.
I think one FFS screen and one transducer per boat is fair. This is not new technology anymore. This would kill an industry IMO. The latest tech is what sells for manufacturers and support companies.
@@kurtvogel9431 thanks for watching!
Well, Im scrollin on when I heard RB2 aka randy blaukat the livescope hater.
@@Garminrules I don’t even wear those anymore 😂
I think its a good idea they atleast get the opinions of everyone involved before making a decision. Their are times i have questioned the use of FFS. Is it sporting to watch the fish on a screen come up to your bait, bite and the you set the hook..? When the fish doesn't like that bait you just switch to another and keep trying. I don't think any other bits of technology are in question here except for FFS. Mapping should always be allowed aswell as side imaging imo. But many top 10's as of late have been won because of FFS. Maybe they should level the playing field and ban it? Or maybe it should only be banned during the tournament of champions, redcrest or bassmaster classic events? Only time will tell but when they get opinions for guys like hank parker on FFS i'm sure gonna listen! This industry does have to think about the viewers to a certain degree. Fish on!!
