Aliex I love your videos and I'm a Big fan of the Big Fish PDL 108. You should make a video on how people could load that on top of their vehicle? I see lots of videos of loading heavy kayaks on top of their cars and SUV but none of them have complex hull designs like the 108.
Hmm, my Bite FD has same 35in deck and is about 12lbs lighter empty. Although it is about $500 more, I do like Jackson's drive better than anything out there since I spend time in skinny water. I can run that yak through 10 inches of water at some points. The drive also bumps back into the hull if you hit bottom or a log which is a huge bonus. I've had that thing up to 5mph with some work lol.
Allright now this is a yak that is better fitted for my style. Still a on the heavy side but definitely added to my list of options for my one day future pedal kayak 😂
@@AliexFolgueira yeah man down here you get the worst of two worlds when you fish. I fish in a very big river by drifting close to the shore structure either from the mainland or from islands so you deal with all the big open water problems (wind, long distances) and all the small river problems (handling in current, paddling against current, dealing with underwater and overwater structure like trees and rocks, shallow water, sand banks, etc) so an optimal kayak needs very specific features
@@davidwilliams3643 umm value ? I say salty pdl 120 if you are athletic or the 120 pdl or even this one 103 big fish pdl good prices I do feel the 120 pdl is better
@@AliexFolgueira thank you. Im trying to work myself up to spending the money for a hobie, but not sure how much I'll get to use it... so maybe not worth the expense...
So true, I didn't know I even wanted one until summer last year when I was introduced to them. My gf and I discovered that kayaking was enjoyable and a good activity with camping. Regular kayaks were pushed aside when I learned about fishing kayaks, then pedal drive, then yada yada yada... I researched all winter (living in the midwest) only to emerge to a complete nationwide shortage. Pah!
@@rfphill Old Town and Hoble are premium brands with the warranty to match. But there are less expensive options out there that may be available right now. Try looking around. The Riot and Sea Stream brands are less expensive and features my not be as included but may be available. As always you make ur choice and put down ur money.
@@AliexFolgueira I am actually debating getting one. My Catch 110 HD II is only 70 pounds but I could use an easier load/unload experience. I just have to... 1.) Have a hitch put on my Acadia 2.) Purchase a trailer 3.) Rent somewhere to store it due to my apartment not allowing trailers. So it life.
I like the fact they got a lighter version but I love my 108. Once you figure out how to handle the weight it's awesome. I still say it is the MOST stable kayak on the water....period.
Here in Connecticut many store are having the same issue. The stores have sold a lot of kayaks but the suppliers are having a hard time catching up. It’s a good thing Kayak fishing is gaining popularity 🎣
Hi love your videos man. Was wondering if you can do a video on Oldtown sportsman 106 pdl vs 3 water bigfish 103. What's better? Your thoughts. Thank you.
Oh man that would be Great. I'm stuck on these two kayaks. Well my friend and I are. We both are going to start kayak fishing. First timers. We mostly going to do inshore/offshore fishing. No lake fishing. We are looking into 10 foot 6 kayaks. Mostly because of storage and putting it on top of our car. Will you let us know what would be best for inshore/offshore fishing between the two kayaks. Oldtown sportsman 106 pdl vs 3water big fish 103. No lake fishing. We are located In California and We both like your videos. Keep up the good work. We will be looking forward to the Video. Thank you.
I like your channel but I wish you'd stop plugging this guy's shop. I went to buy a big fish based on your older videos and he told me they are always returned and they are a problem then tried to upsell me to stuff way out of the budget I had set. I told him I was willing to wait but it seems like anything I wanted outside of his recommendations he wasn't interested in helping me with.
Maybe at the time they were returned? They had issues with the rudder cables my didn’t have such issues but I read plenty of comments from people saying so
@@AliexFolgueira totally fair to you man. I'm not knocking you I just want you to know that I like your brand and you deserve to know how people you present on your channel are treating your viewers. Thanks for your response. Someday I'll get the one I need from somewhere. Keep you big and tall suggestions coming please.
I’m in this video I’m the kid with the hat that’s so cool
Black hat behind me at the beginning of the video ?
My Big Fish 108 just got here 2 days ago. Thanks for putting me on one. Your review videos sold me!!!
Awesome hope you enjoy it
@TX Gold Bull mines been totally fine so far. Minus the fact that it weighs a million pounds, I really like it

Yesss we should do this video
I'd like one like this to me. But here in Brazil it's Very expensive...

Ty again sir. I bought a kayak but it's not actually what I was looking for I want something more for fishing
I need a way to get on the water. Saving and research for now! Great video Alex!
You do you need to scape bill baggs
@@AliexFolgueira yessir
Good to see a new kayak review! Wide and short Yak - Not built for speed!
Built for stability and comfort
Allright now this is a yak that is better fitted for my style. Still a on the heavy side but definitely added to my list of options for my one day future pedal kayak 😂
You can handle this boat ! 😎

Are you going to check out the Hoodoo Hero 130 when it comes out? A skiff that weighs as much as a kayak is always intriguing
Not sure 🤔
Alex, when they will release new big fish 103 ?
It has been out for a while
Would the C-Tug cart work with the three hull design of this kayak?
Hi Alex, can you review stroke fisher 14. Its hobie pro angler 14 knockoff
It is possible
Would you recommend this one or Jhonny bass 100 as far as stability? Thanks 👍
Dude I Iitterally live a few blocks away from that kayak shop🤙👊
Go visit buy 3 kayaks 😎
@@AliexFolgueira ... lol bought stuff from there before nice and knowledgeable folks👍👍👊
What do you think about the hoodoo impulse 120?
Nice looking kayaks
Not super expensive either, I may get one
Looks like a nice option to the 108 tank.... Slimmer...
108 went on a diet 😎
Saludos Aliex, pues yo estoy anhelando comprarme el big fish 120, ojalá luego puedas hacer un video sobre él.
es un buen bote me gusta
Luckily already pre ordered for the new Unlimited. 💯
Boom! Great Choice
@@AliexFolgueira any suggestions for car topping that monster on a Corolla?
Is this kayak good for beach/ salt water ? Offshore
Ok... so you have videos on tons of kayaks... what are your top 3? Hobie Outback, Native ???, Pescador ???, Lightning Strike, other?
Hobie outback 21, native 12 max then the others
@@AliexFolgueira what's the best value pedal drive kayak?
@@davidwilliams3643 umm value ? I say salty pdl 120 if you are athletic or the 120 pdl or even this one 103 big fish pdl good prices I do feel the 120 pdl is better

That’s. Nice sort of funny really cuz I’m in winter haven and just called them yesterday about the feel free dorado but was told there sold out
Dorado is a different boat, this was filmed last sat too
Good video Aliex. It sounds like your friend is lamenting he doesn't have more of them. Covid is making it hard on budding kayak fishermen.
He can’t get enough boats, everything is sold out CrZy

Check the description for links to the product
Nice yak. Where are they located? Great vid
Auburndale fl
Didn't they call that a Cathedral Hull. It is a good size for big users.
Yeah that’s what we say sometimes
Alex, where is this store......?
Action watersports in Auburndale, fl, check the description for more info 😎
Free shipment to Michigan?
Doubt it
I hope mine ships soon
I hope so
Seems like a nice shop owner
They are!
This or hobie passport .. almost same price🤔
It's so wide. I couldn't throw that on top of my SUV due to not being able to reach around it. That price is right though.
I’m thinking a trailer is not such a bad idea for kayaks specially if you have multiple
@@AliexFolgueira I am actually debating getting one. My Catch 110 HD II is only 70 pounds but I could use an easier load/unload experience. I just have to...

Pretty cool.
nice little bass boat

Wow just showed up
Late again! 😎
@@AliexFolgueiraIt only showed up four hours ago
I have one question there have a kayak like 1,300 price
This one is $1350 I think
@@AliexFolgueira how can buy? And shipping to Texas
Checkout the Riot Maco 10 and 12 footers. They go for about $1000 to $1299. Sea Stream also makes a budget kayak in that range with pedal drive.
@@AliexFolgueira I’m seeing $1869

I think I’d still take the 108 you are right
that's where I bought my Jonny
How is the Jonny doing ? Love that place
@@AliexFolgueira Jonny is doing good. Caught my PB bass and caught 57 bass in one sitting a few weeks back. I've only had the Jonny a few months too.
I order my yak at the beginning of the year and I might not get it till April. 😡
it is a nightmare! I hope you get it soon

The shortage is not good. Get your kayaks before they are gone for sure.
gonna get ugly

Any good news?
If only they made this in a 120 model
Gonna need a trailer for sure
@@AliexFolgueira right! Lol
I just feel like the 103 and 108 are too stout and slow compared to the 120.
for a 10 footer, this thing is super heavy
Kayak time shares
Yak time
👍 👍
thanks
Spend them stimulus checks before they run out 😂😂😂
So many stimulus checks being used lol
This happened before they got the check
