50's era jazz, mainly hard bop style, is my jam. Gil Evans/Miles Davis stuff on Columbia is some of my favorite. Porgy and Bess, Sketches of Spain are good starting point for anyone interested.

Very sad. RIP.

Our other vehicle is a Matrix, and that thing swallows up cargo. I still use my truck for the kayak, but I could easily switch over to the hatch back.

I'm feathering in the first ten seconds of this video.

Taper doesn't have any influence on sensitivity.

Praise the lord!!!! Seriously, why has it taken until 2022 to get floating fishing glasses?

You have less than a minute. It might be still alive after 20 minutes, but it's pretty ridiculous to think it's going to live much longer.

You could be over spooled and the line is rubbing the frame and weakening it.

Wow.

I keep a set of linesman's pliers in my boat for cutting hooks. That is probably the fastest. For any of those studies, I'd like to know what the time out of the water was and if they eliminated that variable.

I just saw two rats frolicking in my back 40. I'll be putting out delicious rat treats for them tonight.

I'd already done the boat thing before getting into kayaks. But when I got my first boat after kayak bassin', I put on 15 lbs. or so.

I turned 50 back in May. Same thing happened at my party, lmao.

Wow, that's a ton wisdom dropped. Nice post!

I fell asleep in my chair, holding a beer, lol.

Two adults and two kids will work on that 195. One adult with both kids up front. Adult probably not fishing much, more running the TM and directing the kids. Another adult in the back fishing a little more. I did it like this in my 18' Xpress with the deck extension.

I've had so many DTs break that I refuse to use them. No, I don't slap them.

The beam on the 195 is pretty wide (8-2), and could easily handle two up front and one in the back. The 190 is only 7-5, so a little tight. My Bullet was 22-10 and had a HUGE front deck. I could fish with the two kids up there no problem.

The 190 is a different animal than the 175. It's much more robust and full featured. That said, four people in a 19' boat is a stretch. It's doable though.

Why a jet? You plan on running shallow?

Step it up to 17# mono, leave everything else the same.

You're probably right. This was my result, times around 75 last time out. Oh yeah, I used a the tip heavy Victory rod with the grindy Shimano reel and stretchy fluoro. Also use the wide gap finesse hook, notorious for poor hook ups. Skewered my senkos like a savage, too. Cos I'm made of money.

Yakima Rack and Roll is probably the best purpose built trailer for this. https://yakima.com/products/rackandroll-78-trailer

I'd get a trailer for the PA.
