Thanks for watchin!

Ahhh, now this is the Zoffinger I most enjoy. Other stuff is good too, but you just can't beat this kind of a video.
Sharif Salih I agree completely
I agree 100% - I enjoy the pleasant, low-key and usually educational and helpful fishing videos without all the nonsense one sees with many other angling personalities. Plus, the Zoffinger community is a lot more mature, with virtually none of the angry, profane teenage-types who clog up the comments on so many other CZcams channels.
Yeah something serene about these videos just on the water and alone. I don't need action and adventures.
Sharif Salih yeah when zoffinger fishes I enjoy his channel more than any other because usually everyone else are preppy douchebags
Agree!!
This, to me, is the best kayak video ever made. I was about to "upgrade" to a sit-on-top kayak from my loved, customized little sit-inside kayak. Thank you Zoffinger for reminding me that I don't need it.
I really like your chill attitude. I feel calmer after watching your videos. You're like the Bob Ross of Florida kayak fishing! Thanks dude!
Chad Worthman lets catch us some "Happy Fish"
Rick Dearmont "were gonna put a little crevalle jack down here in this corner, that'll be our little secret"
Chad Worthman one of the best descriptions of the zoff ive read haha
Chad Worthman YEEAAHHHHH
This is the best comment thread of all time.
Yesterday I was drunk and flipped my kayak. I lost two rods,tackle and hooked my thigh. budlight you made my day.
Pulling treble hooks out of your thigh is always the best day. Lol.
Duane Gaskins I hope I don't do that again... slow down on the beer lol..
Drew B : if you don't bleed---you're not trying !
Michael Ragsdale Rodger that brother!
Oh I've never been drunk while doing it mate. Just have stupid friends.
Glad to see you making a fishing video my friend. You are the person that actually got me fishing from a kayak. And I used a pelican catch 120 for about a year after seeing your review on it. So needless to say you have been a positive influence on my fishing career. Hope to see more videos more often buddy.
"I've never seen somebody catching a fish going 40 miles per hour anyway." Well said!
you can rip a fishes face at 40 miles per hour, if the fish can even go that fast.
I'm all about keeping it simple, too.. some videos show guys with so much crap on them they should have bought a pontoon boat. The beauty of kayaking is it's utter simplicity.. I don't like packing everything in the house to take on vacation, and I don't need a kitchen sink on my kayak. Lol 😂 great video.. thanks!
Thanks for taking us along with you !!! Always enjoy your videos !
THIS is what so many of us out here love, Marty! Great to see this kind of content again.
i love these simply videos of you just enjoying the day catching fish
Always appreciate your respect and the fact that there's no obscenity in your videos. The fishing is pretty awesome too. Thanks, brother. Keep 'en coming.
Ditto Sharif!! really good to see u back in a kayak n doing it all again the simple way!! thanx for taking the time n letting us come along with u!!
Great to have you back fishing! Love how you enjoy It!
These are the kind of videos I miss from you. Like a sight for sore eyes. Thank you.
Wondering if you would ever get back to kayak fishing. Glad to see you back!
i swear dude your videos are just so mellow and chill.
Love these simple kayak fishing videos. Brings back memories on when I first found your channel! Keep it up.
Love watching the kayak fishing videos! So relaxing and inspiring
As always, another great video!!! Thanks for making our day and little more peaceful! Wish you great health and many more days on the water to share!
Everything you talked about in this video is exactly why I love kayak fishing. Especially at the begining. I love getting out on the weekends after being at work all week just to relax and get away from everything for awhile.
nice to see you out there just enjoying the fishing again Marty , great video. thanks
Your philosophy is what makes us happy to have you by our side! Nice hat too, it's vintage now... ;)
Hey Pelican Int'l,
On the off-chance this comment might get read and passed on to someone involved with your product development, with your sit-in kayaks with open rear storage compartments, such as the Odyssey 100X I bought last spring or the nearly identical Maverick models, you should widen up that rear compartment a small amount so that it can hold a standard-sized (13"x13" - 16-quart) milk crate. As you should know, milk crates are very useful and popular both to hold gear inside and to mount further accessories, such as additional rod holders, on the outside.
Thanks and thanks for supporting Marty's channel. It was a significant factor in my decision to buy a Pelican last year.
Hey there! Will definitely communicate that comment to our R&D department. We have made some modifications for this year's collection already, but it's always nice to have more feedback.
Pelican International how about a kayak designed by a actual fisherman that understands the things needed used by kayak fishermen
Pelican International How and where can I purchase this model in NS, Canada? Been looking for the past week with no luck. Appreciate any help.
Hi there, you can try our dealer locator on our website to check which Pelican retailers are your area. Costco.ca might also have it, plus they sell online. Also Atmosphere maybe.
Hope this helps.
I miss this content, Marty! I know your a very busy man, but I hope there's more of this to come! It's what made you the brand that you are. I think we all vicariously live through you in these video's! Thank u for bringing this back!
Marty you always have the best music..... Just chill. Looking to pick up a couple of these for my sons so thanx
Laid back relaxed attitude no crazy music, I hate it when you can't hear anything but LOUD MUSIC!
Very nice Video Sir!
Are you using the shrimp under a popping cork setup or just curious?
Wow! Just bought a 10' Pelican and I love it. And your video is the best I've watched. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! It was a rainy Sunday in northern Iowa last summer, while sitting at my computer I stumbled on to one of your videos. I had never even thought of fishing from a kayak until I started watching your videos. I started driving my wife crazy when we were out shopping, I would have to stop at every sporting goods store and look at kayaks. We are on a tight budget and I never dreamed of owning one in the near future. Lo and behold on Christmas day I opened a box (which I thought was going to be an article of clothing) and saw a picture of a Perception Pescador 10 Kayak and a claim ticket to pick it up at the sporting goods store! Now I'm adding attachments to adapt it for angling and woefully waiting for the ice to melt on the various lakes in my vicinity. Thanks for the great work I always look forward to your videos. Carl
thanks for all the videos because of you I bought one of these pelicans yesterday cant wait to go fishing this weekend
I did not have a good day. I am sure glad I got to watch your video tonight. I feel much better now. Thanks Marty. It is great to see you on the water.
Great video! Very calming and enjoyable to watch. Impressed that you are able to stand in it. Just ordered one for next season!
amazing video Marty love all your videos
so glad to watch another one of your great videos
It's good to see ya back fishing in a kayak Marty!!! Thanks for the vid!
I got a kayak because you convinced be to do so Marty! I have great adventures and owe it all to you! Good luck and God Bless!
Great to see you back on the water doing what we love! Keep at it, brother!
Great to see you fishing again Marty!
Great video, Marty. Great to see you back on your kayak. Awesome
Glad to seeing you back in the Yak
I'm glad to see some fishing videos again
Back to the good ol videos! These are the type of videos that got me back into fishing! Nice fish Z!
Good to see you back on the water. Took your advice from last year. Was in the area and paid a visit to Big Bend, lots of Fish and Manatee's, so thanks Marty
Good to see you free and having fun great vid
Just bought a green one today, taking it out saturday. Sweet! Love all your videos!
Great to have you back on the water and catching fish
these videos are always so relaxing
You have an amazing outlook on life... Another great video. Congratulations on your business venture success!
Marty, I love how you keep it real! You have inspired me. I've been searching for a Bass Raider (I know, not a kayak) but pickings are slim up her in Canada. My bro lives in Ohio and there are plenty there....road trip! Thanks for the adventures zoffinger!
Love your common sense mind set. Love all your videos. Thanks Marty, x.
This video is why I started watching from the beginning! Back to the basics, simple kayak fishing! Love the sound of tight lines! Always remember the 4 letter F word. Fish Flats For Fish!!!
Love it!
Good to see you again.
It's great to see another kayak fishing video - thanks Marty. Keep 'em coming!
A few words to anyone considering one of these Pelicans (since I bought a similar 10' sit-in Pelican Odyssey 100X last spring from Costco - it's almost the same as the Maverick 100 Ltd. sold at Dick's Sporting Goods), which looks to have a better front storage compartment and a better seat than this Pelican Argo 100, but no built-in flush mount rear rod holders, which I installed myself on my Odyssey 100X.
First, I mounted my swiveling front rod holder in the exact same place as Marty has his in this video, since it was the closest and flattest place in the front of the kayak. That was a bit of a mistake, because it is really too far forward by about 6" and it's hard to reach when seated (and I have longer than average arms - I wear a size 35" sleeve on a dress shirt). In retrospect, I wish I had mounted it closer to the front, even on a spot that isn't as flat. The thing about rod holder bases is that they are surprisingly flexible when screwed down, they can be bent to fit a curved surface, and I could have trimmed a bit of overlap if the corners hung over the edge a bit.
Second, while there is an open storage compartment in the back of these Pelicans, for some reason they did not make them quite large enough to fit a standard 16-quart milk crate, at least not on my Odyssey, and it appears the compartment on the various Maverick models I've seen at Dick's are the same size; maybe this Argo has a bigger rear compartment. On my Odyssey, the rear storage compartment is about an inch narrower than a standard milk crate, which is 13"x13". This wasn't an issue for me because I happened to have a slightly narrower than normal crate (I think it held two or three gallon jugs - it's about 11" or 12"x 14" ) that fits perfectly. It might be possible to apply some heat from, say, a blowtorch, and maybe use a saw to bend and trim a standard crate to fit.
Having said that, though, I have been really pleased with my Pelican. It's noticeably quicker than several 9" Sun Dolphins I've paddled, and seems quicker, too, than my wife's 9'6" Perception. It tracks pretty well, although I may want to build a rudder/scupper for it, as it did not go as straight as I would like paddling on a really windy day. It is very stable - I've never once felt like I was coming even close to tipping. Of course, with a sit-in, it's a bit trickier to stand up on it, something I've not yet tried, but since watching Marty do it, I think I'll give it a shot this summer (I'm not risking toppling over in 40*F spring water). There is room behind the seat to stuff an anchor on one side and a dry box along with a couple of utility-tackle boxes on the other side. For the $299 I paid for my Pelican, which included a paddle as part of the Costco package, I got a great deal.
I'm working on getting an ascend fs10 from bass pro for bass fishing. Thanks to you for getting me into kayak fishing!!!
Nice to see you back out fishing again.
Great to see you back in the 'yak Marty ! Love the back to basics video, x.
I've had this kayak for maybe 5 months and used it maybe 10 times. Amazing durability and stability. Purchased from west marine in fl. Great video cheers
that feeling when the rods bend .... love it !
Happy to see you fishing again Marty congrats on 100,000
Marty your awesome I love watching your videos I have been since day one and after all this time still here keep up the great work buddy tight lines
Now that was refreshing. I first found your videos searching for kayak fishing, nice to see you back at it. I hope to meet you someday.
Awesome video! Love to see you back out on the water!
Man just going back Marty to some of your OG videos. Things have come so far man. Cheers and Tight lines my dude, don’t forget to get away from the hustle and bustle still.
best video you have made in awhile. the ones like this one are the whole reason i subscribed to you.
I've owned a 10 ft pelican brand kayak for seven years and I love it!
Marty, videos like is is why I subscribed to your channel. Please don't forget your fishing roots.
Good to see you back fishing tight lines
That's one of the best videos I've seen in ages!
This was really an awesome video of sit-inside fishing. Thank you!
Your videos are awesome man! You are the inspiration of my channel!
This is my favorite video of yours! I bought a similar yak, the pelican odyssey. Just tested it on a windy day and its great.....just waiting for the season to kick off in Manitoba.
been waiting for another video for a while this is just the one I waiting for thanks for all the inspiration man you are the main reason I had the balls to put holes in my yak .....poor boys can do it after all man god bless and keep your lines tight...thanks
sincerely the chad
Took your advice and got me just a cheap simple kayak. Ended up buying a pelican bandit 80nxt and best part got it for way under original price. Love your videos and hope to see more fishing a diy's
Oh!! Simple kayak, nice job! Love this video
Hi Zoff, you were my first youtube subscribe ever for the simple reason that you were fishing from a little red yak. Through the years I've had 5 kayaks and have been "downgrading" every time. I even got rid of my yak-attack blackpack because I thought it was to complicated. Don't even use a milk crate. I'm fishing from a WS tarpon now and love the simplicity of the design. My buddy glides from a Pelican strike and loves it. He just reeled-in a 14 lb. largemouth bass this past weekend. Take that!!!! Simple, simple, simple = FUN!
I'm going to be buying my first kayak soon!!!! It's a used pelican sit on from my cousin. Comes with a paddle and a rod holder
Good to see you out fishing
What a coincidence: today was my first day out in my little one! That Pelican surprised me too: either you have great hip reaction or it really doesn't need pontoons. Great!
welcome back to the fishing world Marty, now you can start relaxing again.
Awesome video Marty! Keep up the good work!
Took Your advice and bought a kayak for under $300.00. Loving every minute out on the water. Thanks Marty, You Rock.
I love watching your videos. You inspired me to buy a kayak here in Australia. Before this, I just played computer games all the time. Keep up the great videos mate
WatchTheMoss that's great, I'm gonna be getting one soon
I spent plenty of time playing games. Nowadays, I just focus that energy on filming and editing which can (sometimes) be as fun.
WatchTheMoss I was a fat video game addicted mellinial not long ago myself(not that you are but I was). I had an epiphany on my birthday a few years ago when I was thinking about when my grandfather died. all the regrets and joys he expressed on his death bed not one was "I'm sure glad I watched that tv show or I am glad I played that video game (he did play video games :)) , he said remember that one fishing trip we went on, I really wish we could have done that one more time. Or he would relive his accomplishments from the real world.
I decided to concentrate on the real world I want to conquer that mountain in a way that nothing digital can. I applaud you on your decision to life life in a more full manner.
Oh I'm definitely not giving up gaming. I will make sure I go kayaking every Sunday though. A mix of both worlds is perfect :)
That looks like a fun kayak, that can be handy to have, for a quickie fishing trip. Tight Lines Marty. ✌️
I bought a pelican 4 years ago put some rod holders on it up here in Canada. So much fun. Took it to Bradenton Florida Nov Dec. 2016 loved it. So much fun for so little outlay. I can relate totally.
u r so right. just fish and enjoy. im in arizona and will be in florida in a little over a year. cant wait.
Love these types of videos keep it up Marty
This guy is like the Bob Ross of fishing, he's so calming
And like Bob Ross I am sure this guy will someday be giving back to the fish literally. I hope that water was less than waist-deep.
Much respect for your philosophy! I've owned a Challenger 100 Angler for about a month now, and LOVE it. And, I have the same 5# plate anchor😅. I go bass fishing 2-3 times/wk and honestly couldn't be happier with my $199 purchase. Keep up the great work! I'm going to watch some more Zoff vids now😉
I'm liking that Argo Angler. Looks like a good pond hoppin kayak. Light and fairly small.
Nice vid and I really enjoy the channel, have been watching a lot of your old videos lately since this is a recent find! Heading out this weekend to do some pond fishing, hoping to catch some biggins! Need to procure a kayak soon, will definitely be using some of your kayak mods as inspiration for my project when I start working on mine. Excited to see what else in in store for you with the big boat!
Love the videos Marty, keep up the good work!
Sitting here in my cubical with no windows! ....Thank you for this excellent get away!
Awesome video Zoff! Thanks for sharing.
back to the basics Marty you're the man
i own two of those kayaks, and modify them a bit for fishing, your videos help a lot. thanks.
Awesome fishing video! back to basics. love it.
Love your videos bro!!
Love your videos keep up the Great work!
Awesome video Zoffinger. These are the ones I been missing. Great camera work as well.
Great video! Thanks for the info and you made my decision a lot easier. Can't wait to get my first Kayak.
Spend small...live life big. I love it, man. Thanks for this vid.
You killed it with the bud light post.
