Sure ain't talking about a real baby. This is much cooler.





Sexy!

David from Kayak Connection talked to me a lot, and offered me a fantastic NCKA deal. He actually offered me an even BETTER deal on a Trident Ultra 4.3, so if anyone's in the market for one I'd suggest that you contact him and see what he is offering. The only reason I didn't go with the Ultra is because I'm too fat. The center hatch was digging into my thighs. Fantastic kayak otherwise!

I have a new FF with the OK Transducer mount on the way. So much happier since I got it. I took her out for the maiden voyage today at Shadow Cliffs. Didn't let me down!

I'm going to miss the Predator, and wish I could afford/ have space to keep both. But I will be much happier in this one.

First and most important modificiation I wil make to it.... mount a big flagpole on it and a big ass flag for visibility. On which note, anyone know where I could get a custom plastic flag made?

Being an honorable sportsman is way more important than what you catch.

Haha, I've been wheeling it around like that just because it makes me laugh. Hybrid drag/kayak vessel.

sweet...nice one RB...we have a fun season ahead...need a yellow hat too So I can see you ......that thing is gonna get all bloody....
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore.”

congrats!  get yourself a cheap stadium foam pad from Dicks.  when i went from jackson seat to ultra, my ass hurt big time esp. after a day trolling for salmon.  the pad helps for the time being... until i can score one of those NZ seats
