Thank you. The wife bought the hull for Christmas and I decked it out, I have an old 3hp Johnson I’m trying to rebuild for it but it’s a slow process. It works well for shallow water and working banks but too many pleasure boaters to feel comfortable taking it in deeper open water. So it limits me a lot. In the next few years I’d like to get something larger, around the time my son can really start going out with me more, he’s only 6 and loves fishing but can’t last long stretches on a boat. We have lots of fun on the dock though and on ponds at home.
His first fish caught on a boat.


First completely solo fish; cast, hook, reel, unhook and release


First solo bass






He loves taking picture with every fish and especially loves releasing them. He likes to give them farewell speeches!

The Toyota truck of fishing reels, they never die. There's a guy on the pro tour, Steve Kennedy, that still uses them.
