I love river fishing but this takes it to far.

Jackson hooks up with Select Design to make the Ultimate river fishing boat. This made me laugh. Enjoy.

That boat oficially surpasses the raptor in the "most closely resembling a clog" category.    

Are they serious?
A class 5 whitewater fishin yak
Burnt Ranch Gorge run on the Trinity River comes to mind 
Tad
 

I think that's pretty damned cool.
I know some river spots that would be so much more attainable with a kayak like that. Better than hiking in and much easier to portage than a SOT.

I think the entire article is enclosed in TIC tags....

 OUCH,,,      I've been clogged.               

     It all depends on what angle you view it.        A Slipper,,, maybe.

I cant see fishing from a yak in rapids that require a white water yak. Having paddled rapids many times, this looks like lost gear at best. I can see rolling, breaking rods etc.

I don't see it as fishing the rapids, more of getting through the rapids to get to a nice hole or sweet run that holds fish whereas it would otherwise be inaccessible.
Someone who knows what they are doing in a kayak like that, with such little drag on the yak in the water, could hit some pretty sweet spots from below.
I would never have such a kayak, but imagine doing a drift down the south fork of the American river. Much more agile than a whitewater raft. Only need one person to operate. Can easily pull off to the side when you need to.
I totally see the advantages of that filling a particular niche of fishing.
I took my Tarpon 16 from Rucky Chuck to Mammoth Bar once because everyone said I couldn't. It wasn't that big of a deal. Had to portage a couple of low spots. This kind of kayak would have been a breeze.

Guys this kayak and blOg was written as a joke. If you read the last couple of lines of the blog article you see that it was all in fun.

I do agree that using a kayak to get through some rapid to a good hole is a brilliant idea. I think I would use a Jackson Rouge or Remix XP. On the South Fork I would take my Coosa. In fact thats a run a couple of us from the HeadwTers Fishing Team have talked a out doing sometime soon.

Should have waited till April 1st to post this

No way! It has to be real, there's video evidence on Kayak Angler Magazine's YouTube channel:
