Don't forget to wear that kill switch, it's different falling out of that boat vs your kayak, stay safe and have fun

[larryslawson]

Always wear your PFD with kill switch attached! Get in the habit. Its a must do when you in a derby,

We all had our first day, week, month of boating. You will make mistakes, but that's how you learn. Don't be afraid or embarrassed. Once you get a system down, it will become a whole lot easier and less stressful. One tip, don't talk to others while doing your boat prep or while launching. It gets you out of your routine and that's when mistakes tend to happen. We look forward to following you on your journey. Best of luck

40 years owning a boat and I still make rookie mistakes.

My FAVORITE part of the video is seeing you take your hat off when running on plane. One of your previous videos you were holding the hat on your head with your hand.
Congrats on the boat . Tight lines.

Love hearing you giggle with your new boat! I’m having so much fun watching you learn as it’s helping me tremendously. The most I get to do on our boat is back it off of the trailer and put it back on. The trolling motor is a beast for me as well! These videos are helping me too and making me want to jump in!

[granvillej]

It’s all in the process learning now getting better and watching you on your new boat just makes me smile. It’s great to see you each day growing in your bass boat experience. Keep smiling cause I can’t wait to see you during your first boat tournament rocking it!!! Take care and God bless you and your journey!!!!❤❤❤❤

[stephanietidwell]

Gosh, I think your absolutely amazing. Watching your videos makes me more confident in fishing from my kayak and also running the boat. My husband and I went to the lake for the week and I ran the trolling motor alot more. Not so intimated by it now. I ook forward to more of your videos and THANK YOU so much for being a GREAT role model for us women in fishing. God Bless You.

[dennishowell]

Great video, thanks for taking us along! You got this!

[mikegeer]

Awesome to see you in your new boat. YES a Drotto latch is awesome. I have one and absolutely love it - makes launching & loading way easier.

[bcallisjr]

Awesome!! Great seeing you go solo with the boat! Having someone with you for this trip was a great idea too. Keep it going!! Just wear that life jacket with the Killswitch attached anytime that big motor starts (it's a tournament rule). As to FFS, I believe they have a way so both work independently. Keep learning and growing!! See you soon on the big stage!!

[flippedbyabby]

I’m so excited about this and can’t wait to follow your journey! Congrats on the boat 🎉

[johnwhite]

You’re doing great Kristine. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks fort bringing us with y’all

[KarenMcTavish]

omg - you are helping me so much learning boating solo. thank you!!

[Jambo]

You are doing great. Thanks for taking us along.

[geraldkoth]

Nice ride you have there. Love your enthusiasm. I just found a used Active Target I could afford. After watching lots of folks and doing a bit of research on You Tube University, I knew for sure I would be using a separate pole for the transducer. I found a good mount from GG Fishing that uses a painters pole and a Ram mount. I will be able to spot lock and scan.

[TheFishingMommy]

What fun!! You seem so energized by learning brand new challenges.

[HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

When I was a kid, My dad got a new boat, we took it to a local lake to do the break in period and like you mentioned, I was In the boat, he backed up the trailer, the boat came off, and wouldn't start, the wind kicked up and trying to paddle a heavy fiberglass boat, especially for a kid it dang near impossible hahaha, finally had someone trying to leave help push us back up to the ramp and winched it back on the trailer. Fun times and to this day, I wont unclip that latch on the front of the boat until the boat is running.
Thanks for sharing your experience with everyone and I hope you both have a blessed week my friend.

Love the videos. One tip and I’m sure some will debate it but when you put your rods on the deck put the reels at the bow and the rod tips at the console. That way your reels will catch on your rod strap while running. Less chance of one or multiple’s flying off the deck in rough water. Also they are right at your fingertips when you need to pick one up.

[jamessexton]

You’re great with your boat! Congratulations!! It’s a pain to transfer tackle and rods back and forth!!

Plug in always and welcome to boat life ! Thanks for the video Kristine !
