First fishing trip in my Pro Angler on Eagle Mountain today. Started off trying to catch bait. Finally found some and got to fishing. I was about to anchor and noticed that I was drifting along at a very slow speed so I decided to try that.
Two baits drifted out yielded 4 catfish to 13lbs. First fish was 6-7lbs. 3 blues and one channel. Lot's of fun. Looking forward to getting my Bee Readys so I can anchor up on them and fish more rods.

Good start!

Glad you had a great time

Nice fish

Congrats

Congrats, lets see some pics on how you rigged up the yak. Where are you planning on installing the Bee Readys?

Turn that frown upside down

Bee Readys on a yak? Now why didnt we think of that?

I too am interested in the bee ready talk!?

Nice! That's the way to break it in! Did EM look low?

Nah EM is in better shape now than it was in November. I'm fairly familiar with the lake so I know where the high spots are. There's still some caution that should be used on any lake round here but it's not doing too bad. They're pumping in water from Richland Chambers. I don't expect it to be long before we start catching yellow bass either.

Nice fish

Great way to start out with your new kayak! Congrats!

I'm trying to figure out how to edit this video from my hero2. Sure will be glad when the wifi app will be available. Supposed to make uploading much easier. I got quite a bit of video yesterday compared to the one pic.

Now that's the way you maiden a new kayak. Great job Bob.

Nice job. Been wanting to fish for some catfish out of the yak but just haven't yet.

Way to go!

If that was your inaugural trip, then I see a lot of this in our future...

Nice job...

Mark my words..........This guy is going to be throwing down some huge catfish out of his kayak soon.

I do like catfishing. Thanks for the kind words guys.

YUUUP!

That's a hell of o first trip. Well done.

That's an excellent yak christening.

Good video. How many did u get?

4 total 3 on video

Nice video and nice fish. What camera were you using?

GoPro Hero2

Great video...after I hit "mute". Yep, I'm one of those, "if it too loud, your too old"

Healthy looking fish. Did ya fry up any of them?

Looks like a FUN DAY!

I have bee ready's on my PA's and they work great for drifting slow or sitting,EVEN spider rigging, but not for trolling. The rods rotate as you load them up. I've talked with Ed about adding a vertical member to prevent the roll.

No sir. We weren't having fish for supper that night. It was all catch and release that day.

Cool video!

Thanks for sharing the video!!
