In my opinion Tim is one of the best stream and river fisherman around. Rarely in the public eye unless collecting his trophy 🏆 humble and dedicated. Thanks for filming him
Tougher than most, physically and mentally. His number of hours on small water over a lifetime has to be off the charts. That experience is a differentiator.
@TheLittleStuff in my opinion the line up of top river fisherman include but not limited to and in no particular order . Jeff little , Tim Perkins, lance Cooley, Drew Gregory, Mack McCorkle Timmy Dixon Eric Treadway & Kipp Wright folks are regular successful no matter the conditions. And understand fish habits migrations feeding and river flows. Like no other. Some are far more popular than others. Mostly the they are willing to put the effort in to protect the fishery the access and the the fish.
By far... of all the great anglers you have followed and shared the experience with us... this one with Tim is the best yet!! We have amazing creeks/rivers here in Ohio in which you endure the EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE, if not worse, just to adventure to find the bigger fish and not only that... your more or less chasing the thrill of it!! Awesome video guys keep it up!
favourite video of yours ever! it was so nice to see how he approaches such a small creek. we have a lot of those in Quebec. can’t wait to see what is in em.
Love the commander, but how he sits on the captain’s perch all day is impressive. It would kill my back. I had a trip a few years ago where it felt there was a tree across the river every 100 yards. Wore my ass out. I’ve never been back. Another great video as usual.
There’s opportunity in that statement. The Jackson Kilroy and Native Ultimate are in that same family, but with some critical differences. If someone were to focus on “what can you do with it” as opposed to conforming to todays long list of weight accumulating features, we might get something great again in a “throw and go” kayak again.
@TheLittleStuff Ultimates are great too, and having owned both, the flat end of the commander makes it easier to secure in the bed of a truck. The upper seat was great, the ability to stand with your feet below the waterline was great for stability. Man I wish I hadn't sold the ones I had back in the day.
Most RUclips channels when you read kayak limbo or death march it’s click bait. I can guarantee with you it most definitely happened! 😅 I can’t be the only one who wants to know did any net make it back to the truck! Hahaha Good stuff!!
It’s a classic that should have never been discontinued. Unfortunately, sales numbers are the only performance metric that matters. Diversity of design for specific types of fisheries peaked in the mid 2010’s. Since then, many if not most kayak manufacturers have chased some other manufacturers #1 top seller. That created an echo chamber of many 12.5 foot super wide, primary stability kayaks with the seat perpetually in the high position. The Commander 140 was a staple of my summer time river fishing when I started filming kayak fishing. I was a fool to let it go without getting a backup while they were available. But I do have this other boat. And it’s pretty cool too.
This puts the adventure in the kayak adventure series.
Every trip with Tim is an adventure!

This is the definition of living and loving life the way we’re supposed too. Very minimal equipment and killing it.
I wasn’t fishing, didn’t have fishing equipment and still felt like I carried too much compared to what Tim brought.
Tim is the man!
Tim is the COACH!

Stephen, There are some older videos with Tim if you dig around. He’s a tough dude with a great attitude!
Hats off to both! You all earned every inch….
We had fun working that hard!
Tim and that net had me laughing this whole video!!!😂 I lost mine as well.
Mine sits in front of me. Easy to reach, doesn’t usually get caught on stuff.
That's some RAMBO style Kayak Fishing, as Only The Strongest Survive!
This is what he does all over his home state of Alabama- find small overlooked water.
@@TheLittleStuff I admire his determined spirit.
Great video, this is what I love to see. Paddling, no graphs, not even a seat. Even brought his own music. True warrior!
The Captain’s Perch is a seat of sorts. It had to be minimalistic to get through that mess!
Great footage, Jeff! I interviewed Tim for the recap and he told me to look for this footage. Love it!!!
This one was a tough one to film and not fish! Knowing when to switch from power to finesse is so critical.
Loving the Sunday morning videos Jeff appreciate it man! 🤙🏻
I try to keep up with “every Sunday”. Glad you look forward to them.
@@TheLittleStuff Love tuning in man if I’m not fishing 😬
favourite video of yours ever! it was so nice to see how he approaches such a small creek. we have a lot of those in Quebec. can’t wait to see what is in em.
Glad you are one of the few that doesn’t overlook small water. Thanks for watching!
Awesome Jeff! That’s some tight water, I fish that kind of water a lot 😊. Thanks for sharing!
It was, as promised an ADVENTURE!

Thanks! Tim has likely developed calluses on his tailbone and can’t feel it. Many hours on a Commander captains perch!
Insane! What a great video! Wish my ka-hoon-ays were big enough to adventure like this! :D
Hope you’re doing well Christie. I saw your name in a TN AOY list recently.
Been watching your videos for a couple of years now. Thank you for all the great info. You have really helped me improve my game.
Thanks for saying so! I’m glad that you’re improving your angling skill set!
good work
It was a grind, but we had fun!
Commanders were great boats. They should have never stopped making them.

What creek in poplars bluff where you starting at?

One of them did, only one.
Kayak adventure sadism 😂😂😂😂
Glad someone caught that! 😆
What’s thoughts on commander?

I am putting one in my tackle bag right now!!
