Love to see the helpful kayak info coming from the pros. Much appreciated!!
People say, "Oh , mite as well, buy a boat ....
No, a motor for a boat isn't cheap! Just for the cost of a plan boat , no motor , noting.
You can have the best kayak on the water .
Kayak is the future.
Just in fuel money for a boat , you can build an amazing kayak.
coolest yak setup i have ever seen
I bought this kayak as a military retirement gift to myself. I love it, but honestly it didn't financially leave me room for upgrades. I recommend checking out the hammerhead whale shark kayak. You can get it at a third of the price with all the same luxuries. (minus the Ike approved) 😅
Check out Bearded Dad Fishing! He has some diy things to put on your boat.
Interesting Mike, I learned a lot from you !!!
It is hilarious how close we have our kayaks set up… except I use things like milk crates, a paddle, and a hand-line anchor with a basic $45 “sonar”.
Great video showcasing that Cadillac! Definitely gave me some ideas for more attachments for mine! I think I might reconfigure the electric scooter my neighbor gave me into a trolling motor.
amazing setup!
Love my Hobie!
Excellent presentation. I’m limited to a PA 12 360 with a Motorguide xi3.
I don’t recall seeing where food and beverages for the day other than the water bottle are stored.
Beautiful setup.
That’s because if he adds anymore weight to that thing it’ll sink 🤦♂️
Nice setup Ike, I would have liked to have seen how you have you Forward Facing Sonar setup. I imagine you have the transducer mounted on the rod so you can adjust it.
@Mike Iaconelli you definitely need to bring that to western NY, on the west end of the Finger Lakes and meet me there. YOU'LL LOVE IT !!
I’m saving my butt off trying to get a mike iaconelli edition hobie. Huge fan was so excited to see your edition pro angler dying to get one.
Great video and great information. Bassmd
I got the IKE edition as well!
Awesome boat.
I am getting one soon .
A pelican catch mode 110
I'm gonna get a hummingbird and a 40-lb t trolling motor .
Should be good for a ole poor boy 1981born in Baltimore. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
In fl and va these days , so we have great fishing 🎣
Omg, that battery was lite.
Iv got a PA 14 and an Outback. It’s only my opinion. Unless I’m fishing comps the Outback is my go to. There is a reason he’s running an electric motor just as I have too. Soooo bloody heavy. The bigger your rig the more shit you stack on it. With me sitting in my PA and fully loaded it’s near on 400 lb.
The Outback I put on my roof and for me is just a better kayak in the water.
Food for thought 👍
Pimping equipment is all!
Love it
The elasticity noise 😂 😂
Just getting into the Kayak tourney scene, What do you do for Phone management if you use the inflatable PFD?
Hi Mike. I like the leashes you use. Where can I get them?
You rock!
If you ever sell you kayak I would love to buy it😁
Damn dude you have a lot going on there …..how much does all that weigh all geared up ??
Where is the livewell to bring the fish in to the weigh in ?
Kayak tournaments are catch photo release with verified measuring boards! You measure your best 5! Super fun tournaments!
Gotta get to the ramp two hours before lines in to set up that whole shebang 😂
Amazing setup!
Whats the price on a rig like that
What is the cost of your kayak excluding fishing poles and fishing tackle because I do not see myself as a working man or retired person on a fixed income to afford a kayak like that I never see a kayak like this when I am fishing
Go up to Lake Erie and check out some of the Hobies being used for fishing, trolling for Walleye. Some of these kayakers have side-band radios and multiple fishfinder units and transducers, as well as trolling motors with multiple batteries; Mike, thanks for the review of your kayak solution.
@@ed11800578Some of them are kayak charter guides that provide the rigged out kayaks but there are still cool
What about your trailer?
Yes would like a closer look at how the hull is supported. I've just ordered a jet ski trailer and setting it up for permanent Yak storage is a very soon project. 🎣
Pretty cool yak but looks like 5-8k. Easily
Lol, 15-18k easily!
Far more than 5-8 k. I have very similar yet up w/less electronics and I’m sitting at over 10 k. Then I purchase a trailer W/bigger wheels and had a custom rack built for it. You need to review the price of the stripped down PS140 360. If Ike had to pay for his set up, It would be $15 K or more, easily. The Big Hobie is so well built compared to other yaks, very little comparison. When you start putting elec. motor and pike on the back many yaks are not made to support the stress. And certainly not over any period of time. Get your pocket book out. Over the long run it’s $$$ well spent.
@@larrymoss9954 I thought about doing something like this too but then I think will be happier with a boat
The kayak alone with nothing else is $5800, so add a few hundred batteries, a few thousand more in electronics, a couple thousand more for trolling motor, plus $600 more power pole, ya easily over $10k
The lure of kayak fishing used to be simplicity, that goes out the window with a rig like this. I’m not hating I’m just not understanding why one would get a monster kayak that has to be trailered, and then customizing it to the point of a tournament ready bass boat. Your in the price range of dressed out John boats/ used aluminum bass boats and also aren’t able to get to places that regular boats can’t get to once you go that big with a kayak.
The point of kayak fishing for me is doing tournaments without spending 40-90k. I have no interest in having a small jon boat as I can’t do any tournaments with that. I can however do tournaments on the Great Lakes with a kayak but a little 10 foot sit inside isn’t exactly the best item for that use
What you’re describing is a definitely a part of kayak fishing. You can definitely buy a jon boat or even a used boat what tournament kayaks cost. However, you can’t fish kayak tournaments out of a jon boat
@@devinwillis7787 I bought a nice aluminum bass boat used for a little more than what the kayak alone in the vid will run you. A couple of decent graphs and your fishing. You can def fish tournaments for less than 40-90k. You just have to decide if you want to fish them in a 12k+ kayak or a regular boat. It’s all in what you want to spend your money on I guess.
@@jesseo355 I mean we fish the Great Lakes so if I don’t have an 18 foot boat and at least 150hp I’m going to be at a huge disadvantage. The kayak tournaments also pay better than a lot of the local boat tournaments lol. My local bass club pays a few hundred to win and the first kayak tournament was 1400 this year
To be a competitive tournament kayak angler you have to run most of this setup it’s common
Wow… Nice setup but can he actually fish with all that gear. It’s basically a Jon boat now. 😂
definintely pin DGf1shings comment
If you had to guess, how much does your rig weigh? One thing you forgot to mention...cellphone holder. LOL!!!
Yak itself is 150 and I'd guess 100lbs in gear.
There is a reason it’s on a 1 ton trailer 😂
what is that setup, $10k ?
That's probably around $19k , Jordan was about $17k and it had less stuff
@@lowlifeangler badass!
How much did it cost for everything
10gz
first so pin
yeah pin him
You ain't ever getting pinned boi 😢
@@seanyB223 yeah might as well try tho
Poor guy, if this boat ever flips
I like following Ike but let's be real, this is a boat, not a kayak. I would love to see the tournaments put some limits on the equipment: 10 ft only, no motors, no live scope. Something to be said about fishing "old school" and using your skills to boat fish.
Yeah, and you'd have 3 people show up to that tournament, lmao
@@iwill9422and they’ll be the best three anglers you’ve ever met
10ft only? I get the other stuff but length shouldn’t be an issue
I went to a kingfish tournament in Jacksonville in 1996 and saw my friend win agains over 1000 boats from 17 to 60 feet long. Some even used helicopters to spot pods of fish. The guy in the 17’ Jon boat trolled outside the Jetties and caught a huge King over 40 lbs to win. Size in fishing does not matter. Knowing how to fish matters. Knowing where to fish is important too.
@@Just_A_Name14doubtful
2 graphs on a kayak these guys gotta realize their main audience a little better they not rich that's for sure
Two graphs and livescope on a tournament setup is pretty common. The video isn’t for a casual/hobby person, the intended audience is people that want to do kayak tournaments
No one is forcing you to buy livescope. They are just showing you what someone that fishes for a living has
This setup is common most of the field has everything here
It's a vessel Not a vehicle! Not trying to down you, So don't get me wrong you have an awesome setup.. and I see you are a Christian.. Good luck to you my brother in Christ ✌️
You should sell that thing and feed a couple small towns, that’s totally ridiculous, get over yourself man.
His money to do what he wants with. If you want to do kayak tournaments for big money why wouldn’t you get the best equipment you can afford?
You made my point, thanks.
Lol why the hate his rig is sweet a lot of tournament kayak anglers have a similar setup
@@shawnmcdonald7765 what’s the point? People compete for money? How does this have any effect on you lol. Go fish off the bank and enjoy yourself instead of being mad a guy is buying nice things
@@devinwillis7787 when you get mature you will find out it’s not about stuff.
