It's tough making mistakes, but when we learn from them they transform into lessons my friend. When I first started kayak fishing I leashed my gear, taking the advice of other Yak fishing people.
Your video will help many newbies, remember, that gear is replaceable, but your life is not.
Stay safe
@@saskyakfishing2574 well said
Do you use rod and paddle leashes? I mean, if you had a rod leash on it, you would still be able to retrieve it. We are glad you are safe.
I just watch the rest of the beginning. Explains everything. Thanks for the video.
Awesome, thank you!
@@AliexFolgueirahe’s right. If you don’t have fun it’s painful for us.
Naaaaw bro, this is totally your fault. If you're objective was to go flip your kayak, at the minimum you should have had a leash on your rod. Now hold this L like a man, Alex. 😂
you can't be in control of everything, it is impossible, thats why i keep it simple, or try to.
@@AliexFolgueira can you control not getting into a car accident, no. Can you control preventing yourself from being severely injured by wearing a seat belt, yes.
Bro, keep a cheap snorkel gear kit in your truck. I see you lose a lot of stuff, so having a snorkel and fins will help you be able to recover a lot of your gear.
@@TheFishAndTrips bro, come on i had 10 things in my head while trying to flip the boat exactly in the right place, you think i would be able to make sure everything will go well
@@AliexFolgueira I really can't tell if you're trolling or actually serious. 😂.
I've been watching a lot of your Bixpy videos lately and finally decided to purchase one. So far my on the water test went really well and I like it.
@@TheFishAndTrips that's awesome bro I enjoy using my Bixpy, weightless easy to install , which they were faster though
I flip in 5' of water in the ocean. Took on too much water from a boat wave. Lost over 6000.00 worth of gear, electronics, battery, motor, etc.. shouldn't say lost, damage it all. Flipping with gear is so much different than with nothing. Put Floaties on ur rods. I was going to quit. I lost confidence in my PA14 and sold it. I purchased a native titan x 12.5. I know I flipped because of the top weight. The titan has a much lower center of gravity with the batteries in the hull. It's hard, but I did have insurance. But it still takes hit on ur confidence. Hang in there. Everything will work out. 😊
the titanis much much stable than the pa14, i do worry about that high seat, you should pool test it. Sorry about the loss of your gear, and yes it hits you hard, as you can see i left early i didnt flip it again i was done lol normally i flip it several times, low/high seating, standing up etc
Please do not do that any more. I rather watch your videos then have you lose so much or not have fun doing this and just quit.
It has been quite the Aliex's not good, very bad days lately, my $1599 GPS motor decided to stop working yesterday, and so many other incidents, I am been tested
@@AliexFolgueirathis too shall pass brother!
Do you think the bow bucket assesory that goes in the front hatch that bonafide has would slow the water in take when flipped?
it would make it easier to get a lot of the water out, because it will go there, but teh best thing to do is to add foam all over inside the boat, Chad's idea
Did the SS127 have the same issue with filling up with water? Hope things start turning around for you this year!
i dont remember the ss127 having so much water in, maybe bacause it is smaller 33.5 vs 35?
Man that sucks. We work hard too hard for our stuff. Everything is so damn expensive. Hope you find them.
it is incredible expensive, I'm basically losing money on this videos this year so far.
@@AliexFolgueirayea I feel you dude don’t flip with your gear we know your going to lose stuff I’d rather watch your reviews or fishing than watch you lose your gear bro
Idk why most kayak companies don’t add weather sealant around those front hatches.
Aliex, go get your stuff back. I have an amp outdoor battery, and I flipped many times in the surf beach launch in north California coast. Battery went under water and it still works. Nice little battery. Btw, was that watermelon floating in the water. Good luck. I really enjoyed your video.
Amped Outdoors for the win!, they do make food offerings in this area, we call it brujeria, maybe thats why im losing stuff there lol thanks bro
Aliex , Quick question. When you had pelican catch 100 pwr. How long shaft on trolling motor ? Thank U
15in
Thanks for quick responds. Is that a factory shaft or did you cut it down?
@terrygriffith9646 i cut it well not exactly me , but if you using a trolling motor maybe make it a bit longer. If outboard you can buy a 15in shaft version
That wasn't your best day, for sure. But, use a weighted treble hook and jig it down where the rod went down. You should be able to snag and retrieve it. Best of luck
Still haunts me, I'll that
Great Video my friend
Thank you 👍
Watched alot of your videos for the past 2 years, Last year I made the decision to purchase my first Hobie, I went with the Lynx. Don't want to lift heavy kayak, don't want to take on water and sink. Took it out two dozen times last year and love it. Does everything any other kayak does, let you get in the water, go into areas boats can't go and fish. People over hype kayak fishing. Just get out and fish. Ain't that serious. Mirage Drive, NK300, Powerpole, Yak Attack Box, Stradic 5000, Stradic 3000, Tatula Elite Bass Rods.
yup there is no water going inside the lynx and if you do flip, unfllipping it is super easy, just secure your gear.
Alex how are you doing?. When you flipped the hatch was opened?. down hatch has a kind of rubber seal or nothing, just plastic?. I am very interested in offer this guy to my customers but your video make me hesitate...
hatch was closed, unless your customer is 300# they wont be flipping under normal conditions, with the right technique you can unflip the boat even if it has ton of water, pro anglers get more water inside if they flip and people will have a harder time flipping this.
@@AliexFolgueira thanks for the quick answer. You are a master and thanks for your remarcable job.
@@FISH4KAYAK thank you 😊
It happened. Its over. It sucks. Time to push through the pain. Easy for me to say but hard to be the one doing it. I’m hoping you know someone that dives and will help you get your gear back. I think I’m going to toss a mask/snorkel in my gear just in case.
yes great idea, you know i will be doing the same! you never know
I'm sorry about your loss from the flip test. I definitely have almost everything in my kayak secured. I strap the expensive 28 lb battery down, rods are locked down, motor is secured, propel drive is secured with additional tether, and front hatch is secured. I do believe that kayak manufacturers years ago made a mistake by making the hull open to storage (Hobie always allowed it). The original propel series by Native and the Wilderness ATAK 120 (I have both) have limited hull access and no way to fill the hull with water except if the hull experienced a rupture. At least the Bonafide hull maintained its buoyancy - a good sign for all the distant spots that you visit in your kayaks.
it is one of those things, you account for EVERYTHING yet when it happens all hell break loose. On pre planning stages of this video, I thought i was going to flip it in shallow waters and if something happens i can recover...the tie was LOW, could not flip it in shallow. The rod, i thought i had it secured, sooo many things to focus on when you do this stuff, you gonna miss something.
Totally makes sense. I’ve had similarlosses
Ouch, feel for ya
Thanks
All the more reason the Old Town Autopilot is the best kayak on the water , the battery is strapped down from the factory to not move. Not saying it cant fall out but a lot less likely. The seat also traps it in place because its locked down as well. You would be hard pressed to lose it. The pole? Eh , solve that with bungee tie downs. I have 5 or six little bungee tie downs on all my pole holders and I can just easily clip them on to the rods. Anyhow man , good yak , stability is impressive.
100%, I'm going to shoot a fully rigged ap video soon, people wanna see the NK300 install
@@AliexFolgueira ok , well , thats all fine and good but dont you think that 45 pound trust is enough to do what its designed to do , fish from? I mean racing kayaks is not a thing and from my experience , getting farther faster just leads to passing over fish you could have already been catching?? Nothing against Bixpy and the NK300 but it just seems to be a little too much power, especially at the rear and you could possibly get the rear kicking out and sliding the kayak away from you and dumping ya. It just seems risky.
Dudeee... Go to philippine and find tradional boat called pakura, and try fishing tuna with it. 😅
that would be fun
We call that a yardsale. lol i know its not funny but we all know the risks. All we can do is buy cheap stuff so it doesn't hurt so much or tether everything.
yup
That sucks but how were you not able to find the battery it wasn’t deep
there is a deep cut there, I thought it went there, probably over 10 ft, didnt see it till the next day
hope u fund it. but would s rod holder prevent this?
the seat has a strap to hold the rod, it should have stop it from falling, but too many variables to keep in mine, I was worry about camera x, angle b, flip extacly in the right spot, like so many things an di only get one shot basically.
Only if they manually lock, like a Yakattack Omega.
so, the black pack has holders with hook and tethers. As for the battery inside the black pack if it would have been latched properly or at all it would not have been lost. Which you can see in the video the latches were not closed.
@@ericr1382 it was latched bro, they opened when it hit the water
Sorry about your stuff brother
I think these reels are cursed, I lost a slammed iii in the keys $500, a spinfisher vi, in Maine and now this one
That kayak is a tank good god bro should used a cheap Walmart rod for the demo
this is true, also a pool instead of a deep channel.
No rod leash? Rookie move Aliex lol. But that battery was a given. All that weight hitting the top of the black pak. Those two locks aren’t that strong. I would have dove in for the rod for sure lol .
Only rookies have rod leash haha
@@AliexFolgueira after losing 3 rods I have to disagree lol. $500 a setup vs $5 rod leash
@@TexasPapa13 just broke one yesterday with the tailgate, I'm a pro at this lol
@@AliexFolgueira oh man I’ve done that. It’s heart wrenching lol.
@TexasPapa13 yup and this was the rod I caught my first tarpon with
Hurt to watch you loose your new rod and reel setup
this episdoe took a lot out of me for sure
Yeah could see it your face, shit happens though , as always enjoy the vids. Got a good laugh in the inflatable video, when you told your son yeah that’s why your here and his response,
I hope get your rod back.
So far no luck, it is probably not good anymore, I'm sad I didn't get to catch a fish on it
@@AliexFolgueira If it helps you feel better I've had rods a lot longer than that without ever catching a fish on them lol. Keep ya head up!
@@BayouToad haha thanks bro
Bro, watching this made me sad. Sorry man.
Yup, I was sad and no energy not sure how I was able to pull myself up, this is not the only thing that didn't go my way lol
