We felt your pain (and love for your lad) as you handed the rod over, no matter the outcome ... a beautiful moment indeed. Thank you!

Your kid has no idea how lucky he is to have you as a father and to have fishing (and boats) around. My best days as a kid were spent in a lake in Canada (Jack Lake) with my dad in his boat. Props to you Rod.

[finlayoath]

Rod you are an absolute lad and a bit for handing your rod over to the little fella and although he ended up losing it I’m sure it gave him a good memory and even more inspo to keep fishing! By the way you handled it like a champ for how good of a fish it was

[Tbooth]

My boy is only 8 months old now. I hope one day I have a massive redfish or speckled trout on the line and I have to suffer the heartbreak of giving the rod to my anxious boy.
What a treat.

[bgbuck]

you truly inspire me to keep my life and financials in order with the goal of being able to really enjoy the hobbies that make me happy.

I love this boat. I have been showing my son (Who is a Doctor) I just love saying that, LOL. He is 34 and married has been looking for a boat since he was in high school. I just feel like this one is so much safer and has so much more to offer. I hate you guys lost the fish but you are making wonderful memories. Keep the videos coming. I love watching your videos.

I'm so happy for you Rod, I see this boat brings a lot of joy to you. Good see you out fishing with your son Fox awesome. Got a question, what ever happened to your sailboat? Well you have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

[Rayvan]

What a catch! I'm not talking about the fish either. The memories that you two made are priceless. You didn't lose anything but a fish.

[michaelhuntarch]

You're the best dad in the world Rod! Letting Fox take that fish is the stuff memories are made of. That was a way better choice than keeping the fish yourself, even if you had landed it. You da man!

[stucook]

Cool knowing you probably had a pb and still handed the rod over. My dad did the same for me with the same result. Every time we fished together afterward it was a long running friendly ribbing. Thanks for the video! 🤙

[pllar]

You are such a patient communicator with Fox. Love the boat.

[charlottejet]

Your boat is fab. It's got everything you need to be safe and comfortable on your trips to those remote places. Love your videos, and as always, I'm looking forward to seeing your next instalment.

This is one of the best setup small boats everything thats needed but isnt crowded at all ill definetly be using some of these ideas when i get my jetboat project underway, well done

[RAILBLAZA]

love it - great walk through ...that flathead clearly didn't want to be the first sacrifice on the new fillet table!

[clintstinkeye]

You brought back some great memories that I forgot about when I was a kid.
I miss those times.

[wraithchild]

Its days like this that Fox will look back at and remember with love in his heart. "Remember that day I nearly caught a state record fish and then we found that rubber ring? BEST DAY EVER"

[merdel]

Definitely go the dc charger, I run one between my lithium house banks and my agm starters, works very well. Will also give you the option if you want just to plug a solar panel or blanket into the dc charger to top up when needed

[TankIOW]

That was so interesting. I really enjoyed all the info. Loved the way Fox wasn't exaggerated just how big that fish was a typical fisherman 😅. Great video, thank you.

[justinmcglinn]

Rod that was the most wholesome experience on all of Youtube. You're a legend

I've seen lots of problems with auto-deploy Minn-Kota units and read about many more. I ordered a manual deploy when I had my boat built and it's been awesome. Simple is best sometimes!
