Jon, you're a funny guy with a healthy sense of humor and your videos are fun to watch. Yet, above all of that, you are a decent person. Those folks in the shantytown in Soweto, South Africa are happy despite their circumstances. That gives anyone, with the sense to see it, a whole new perspective on life.

Timeless Vick - 6 years ago

This is crazy bro I haven’t watched a video from you in like 6 years!!!! You fucking grew up like crazy! Is that your house or your parents house? If it’s yours damn proud of bro and even if it’s not I’m still proud of you! Keep up the great work on YouTube! @jon.b

Hey I just got a new pool floaty at the 1$ store, it floats so I’m gonna call it a boat. I’m not mimicking anything he said.

8:46 The pool noodle makes a surprisingly useful fishing tool. I fly fish a lot and they're great for storing tandem nymph rigs. I also use them to store pre-rigged hooks + leaders for carp fishing. I'd say the pool noodle is a great purchase... :)

I got a couple cross bars from DICKS and those foam blocks from sport mans warehouse and strap that sucker up to the top of my Durango. The foam absorbs the shock so its perfect for going down dirt roads so you don't have to worry about your kayak slipping off... oops O.o my B. As for a fish finder you can purchase ones just for kayaks online. google that shit.

Congratulations on the new kayak! We have two and found that when we posted our videos our friends always wanted to go with us so we bought two more. We have a fleet of 4! You always need a pool noodle. Use it to make a kayak dolly to help you transport your kayak from the car to the water.

Hey man, I picked up a cheap Raymarine Dragonfly for mine. The transducer just sits through the scupper hole into a groove on the bottom so you don't have to worry about hitting crap. I don't know how close to Detroit you are but theres some killer walleye fishing on the river from my yak. Good luck!

Rooter's Backyard - 7 years ago

Nice.... About everything in this video!
I put my tandem yak on my Mazda 3. That should be just fine......also, ascend is a great starter yak. Don't listen to the haters

Harrison Leak - 7 years ago

I've been thinking about getting that one but I wasn't sure how well you could stand on it and fish

CLM Fishing - 7 years ago

I bought a kayak about 3 yrs ago to fish out of(not actually a fishing kayak) while I'm off working. First fish I hooked up on was a 4 pound large mouth. You can say that hooked me on kayak fishing.

Storrs Fishing - 7 years ago

Get a Garmin. They have lots of different finders and some are made specifically for yaks. They are so small and work so well.

William Granados - 7 years ago

Hey Jon hit me up if you need help with that check engine light. I'm a Toyota mechanic. Make sure your gas cap is tight and also check for a hose behind the air filter box, it'll go straight down to a hard line, they like to come loose.

Tim Griffin - 7 years ago

I have that exact same one. Same color and all. Love the deck space and the factory rails. Only con is it really doesn't track all that well. Also, try to keep it out of the red Texas mud, it will stain that white.
P.S.
Holla at me so I can join you some time. I only live about 2 hours from the MTB house.

Trey Proper - 7 years ago

Joseph T - 7 years ago

Some Yak advice: don't ratchet down your kayak too tight with ratchet straps which is easy to do. It can deform any kayak depending how hard you ratchet it down. If you want to carry it up off of the roof of your car so it doesn't scratch the roof paint I use these carriers which is better for wider kayaks. Its much more secure and I used cinch straps which are better for the Yak. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1SI4B2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Kayak fishing is a blast. You probably did better than I did with my first yak. I bought a vibe sea ghost. What a heaping pile of crap. The factory forgot to install half the screws, forgot the console lid, rudder exploded .....

Ben Cook - 7 years ago

How about a video of you fishing Lake Fork now you are back home? Some monster bass have been caught there and weather is now gotten back to normal. Would be nice easy trip with possible PB on LFork.

Kayak Bass Fishing Fanatic - 7 years ago

You finally got a kayak. Congrats on your new boat. Don't let anyone shit talk your new purchase. BPS did a great job with these kayaks. It's a great starter rig. Bass fishing from a kayak is tough to beat. You're going to love it!

Tyler loveland - 7 years ago

Patrick Connors - 7 years ago

Don't worry, you have plenty of time to figure out what to do with the yak; picking one up is on my bucket list and have watched a ton of videos and researched them for the last few months... it's going to happen and you are just getting started. Yep, it is opening to visit the third world. It reminds you of how lucky we are here in America.

SilverGray - 7 years ago

@Jon B. If you truly enjoy fishing out of that yak and find it useful for filming, you'll have a Hobie foot pedaling yak in a year.

Turner Thomas - 7 years ago

Congrats on the Kayak, dont worry about what you bought, thats actually a great fishing kayak and would rock one of those in a heartbeat. Doing tournaments in a kayak is a blast as well!! Look forward to seeing some footage on the yak and good luck. Hit me up if you want to get out on Oneida Lake!

Remstir - 7 years ago

Daniel Adrien - 7 years ago

Check out hook1 kayak fishing gear. Get some mighty mounts and some Ram rod tubes and you can take them on and off super easy and the mighty mounts wont interfere with the way you strap your yak to the bullet. I also recommend installing an anchor trolley or getting a stakeout pole because when wind can be a pain when youre trying to stay still.

N. Aranda - 7 years ago

Hey Jon, keep up man, you are very young, 21 is nothing, but the most mature and the one with the best attitude of all GS. Great Vlog!

rusty nielsen - 7 years ago

Good kayak choice. I own one of them and one of their 12ft versions. I, personally, like the 12ft version better because I have raised the seat. It is heavier and not as easy to maneuver though, I think the yak you bought will fit your needs nicely.

Maybe buy a scupper hole cart to drag that thing around, makes life much easier.

Catfish_ cody785 - 7 years ago

Heck yea buddy

Andrew S - 7 years ago

Hey, can anyone suggest a good affordable baitcaster, I have tried two already, the first one was weird and no matter what type of line would backlash, and the second one the spool tension doesn't work. Please help. Thank you.

John A* - 7 years ago

I use an Ascend FS128T, it's my first yak as well! Super stable, great casting deck. No, its not a Hobie, but you'll really like it!

Marcus McQ - 7 years ago

So I know this is probably a stupid question but could you go over some jig tactics for faster paces and still effective

jeremy wood - 7 years ago

If u wanna hit some good kayak spots hit me up im in the dfw area

Garrison Adkins - 7 years ago

Just bought the same exact kayak but in Green. I also bought a garmin striker 4cv for my fishfinder. Its transducer fits perfectly in the grooves of the hull underneath the yak. Its actually a pretty descent fish finder for the price, since it has the traditional fish finder, as well as their clear vu(down scan). I bought it at a bass pro with my yak so they should be in stock there as well. Hope the comment helps!

BR Fishing - 7 years ago

Looking forward to some killer yak vids along with some sweet B-Roll footage from the yak.

Mike West - 7 years ago

That is a cute kayak, do another video when you get a real one.

Dylan Khan - 7 years ago

Number one rule about kayak brand's- doesn't matter what you get as long as you enjoy it! Sweet yak dude, get yourself a good lock for that bad boy, people will take that thing right off the top of your yota. Other than that they make rod holders that you can take on and off as you please, but if you already have rod holders more power to ya. I actually don't use anchors, I float with the current or paddle against it and let myself cruise, kind of like trolling, I feel like I cover more water that way but to each his own

Tyler Martinez - 7 years ago

I have an Ascend FS12T as well Jon. They're not the best, but for the price they are freaking awesome! Balanced enough to stand on, and wide enough to hold a lot of gear. As far as attachments go, I put an anchor trolley on mine, as well as lights and gear tabs in the inserts on the kayak. Don't have a depth finder, but have seen them mounted. There are a few YouTube videos of people customizing their Ascend's. It's also kind of slow, but I don't think you need to get anywhere in a hurry when kayak fishing.

JD Outdoors - 7 years ago

Busse John - 7 years ago

You should do one of two things with that yak...First: Devils River float trip, can you say gorgeous views, rapids, and smallmouth in damn near mexico. Second: Take that joker to the coast, and do a spot and stalk redfish video. I know you have caught reds before, but hunting them down in a foot of water is killer. Now that you live in TX too, that is what I would do.

Christopher ortega - 7 years ago

Good kayak Jon I loved the ascends they're great in the salt water for the reds and trouts

Yeah put a bunch of Dongles on there so it weighs 166lbs., that will make it easier to cartop on the Thaiyota! If not, buy a new trailer and pull it with your PORCHE. You'll need power poles, gotta have a $120 crate!, down/side scan/lake mapper/chart plotting fish finder, LED lighting for the "night bite". Better get it wrapped with all your logo's, don't forget the jersey, the more you can emulate that 21' fiberglass boat-the better.

Elcurtano - 7 years ago

Fish finder and an anchor trolley set up and your ready to rock. It's a different thrill from a yak man. Good luck.

hey man check out the products at yakattack they have a lot of different mounting solutions for cameras and other stuff that are low profile and don't add a bunch of bulk to your kayak, also their blackpak is a great removable storage option if you decide a regular milk crate does not work out for you. their customer service is top notch if its ever needed also.

Hey Jon invest in some towers with round bars that raise the kayak up a little bit off the car, then put foam covers the full length of the bars. Always switch from ratchets to sinching straps. These tips will prevent you from destroying the hull if the kayak.

Jon, I have an Ascend FS12T. You want to know what you will need, I can help you. 1st thing, get yourself an anchor trolly. I have 2 zooka tubes on mine, so I can troll while I paddle. I have a yakattac black pak for storing my gear and the most important thing a Good PFD...because I always have jet skis and boats flying by me.

Yakin with Jack - 7 years ago

My first kayak was a sun dolphin 10 ft kayak (not made for fishing ). But as soon a I caught my first fish I was hooked for life now I started my own YouTube channel to share my journey with everybody. If you ever come down to Pensacola Florida around the fall I am out you on some big bull reds forks the kayak guaranteed

STEVE - 7 years ago

Get a nonslip mat for the roof and then just hook the ratchet straps directly to the rails. Avoid running the straps through the doors because it'll mess up the gaskets. Otherwise, make sure you use tethers for your gear (I use paracord), esp get a dry bag for your phone in case you take a spill. The NRS Chinook is an awesome fishing PFD, pricey but well built and worth it to have the organization.

I have had an Ascend fs12t for over a year and I love it. People will dog ascend because of the price tag and they want to feel better about their expensive yak but feel good about the rig you got. I would look into an anchor trolley, anchor, milk crate, and fish finder.

Hey man I've been trying to paint mine and it's a pain to get it to stick but my uncle has told me a method. Go buy some TSP and wash the yak real good with it then hit it with some sand paper to rough up the surface followed by another TSP wash. Then spray it with a plastic adhering primer and then your paint. If you just start spraying it'll just flake off.

You should definitely take the kayak and do some marsh fishing in Galveston or Corpus Christi for redfish. Or take it in the canals at night and hit dock lights. It would make a sick video. By the way you should have bought a hobie, just saying.

Tony Noon - 7 years ago

Don't stand on that kayak: Seriously. Make sure you leash everything that you don't want to lose to the kayak. It's not a matter of if, with a kayak, it is a matter of when. you will roll. Practice self-resue. Climbing onto the yak in an emergency is much easier if you do it before it is actually an emergency. ALWAYS wear a life jacket. Get a fishing one designed for a yak, and you will find it actually will make fishing easier. I hate not having it when I am bank fishing. look at yak gear for rails and the cell block to have a remove-able fish finder and transducer arm for that boat. the nice thing about that is you can take it with you when you expand to a new boat, or add a rail to the little bass boat you have and use it on that as well. Put gorilla tape on the keel of that kayak. the plastic is very thin there and can wear through quickly dragging it over dirt, sand, and concrete.

to start with rig up a anchor trolley and get a folding anchor, for my fish finder ive used a gramin striker 4 its small inexpensive and has gps. its a great fishfinder for your first rig, for tackle storage you can either buy nice system of use a milk create and put a lid on it either works as long as you have a lid. remember to get paddle leash and if you want rod leashes or floats, take the hold rig to flip thing seriously you wont regret it. (you could aslo ask kayakbassintv or Robert Field they would be happy to help.)

Quick advice to JON, be sure you to use an efficient paddle stroke, this will save arm strength.
Your power is in the push not the pull, in other words push the end of the paddle that is out of the water and rotate your waist, and do not death grip the paddle shaft, I hope this helps you some, your videos have helped me and I would love to return the favor.
I teach a kayaking 101 class at REI so I am giving you real advice that will make your new yak a better experience, hope this helps.
P.S. please do another crazy fishing challenge, my friends and I love this vids

I got the same kayak man, it is extremely buoyant and I love it so much. You can stand on it and it is fairly light and has a lot more room than you'd think. Only thing is if you leave it out in the rain the water leaks through the black foot rests on the side and through some of the cracks to the bottom of the kayak and you have to open the back hole and drain it out, but if you keep the kayak upside down with the plugs out you'll be good ! Great kayak IMO

Cristian Painter - 7 years ago

I've fished out of a kayak for the last 4 years and here's some key things I learned. Wear a life jacket and wear a tackle vest over the life jacket (might make you somewhat bulky, but it works). Put everything you need to fish within the tackle vest and you'll have everything you need very close and convenient-like. Put in rod holders if it doesn't have them. Rod holders for storing on the back and fishing rod holders on the front. Of course a fish finder would be nice (don't have one on mine, but I'd love to have that capability). Other than that have fun with your new craft. I can't wait to see the content you'll be pumping out from motivation of having your own water mobility.

Also please don't forget to register your new boat with your state (mostly overlooked by most kayakers until they meet the game warden).

Awesome video there Jon! I recently just purchased a fishing kayak from Pelican and I have had it for about 3-4 months. So far it has been a total game changer for me! It allows you to get into places you would never think about getting into on an aluminum or fiber glass! On top of that, it saves me quite a bit of cash! I noticed you were curious on what kind of gear you could possibly add to your yak. I would recommend a few ram mounts, maybe a pole holder somewhere in front of you? I also bought an awesome crate that has pole holders and a area for storage!... https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GHYA7LA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1505278939&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=kayak+fishing+crate&dpPl=1&dpID=41vxtKp5OoL&ref=plSrch
All my gear is able to detach from my kayak which makes it a breeze when it comes to transportation! So far kayak fishing has been and awesome experience for me, and I hope it is the same for you! Once again, nice vid man and keep kicking that ass!!

You should built a kayak crate. That's what I use and it holds all my tackle. I mounted rod holders on the back so I can carry up to five rods if I want to. I just strap it down and when loading my kayak back in my truck I just unstrap it and put it in the cab.

Jace - 7 years ago

First thing you need that I didn't see in your cart, PFD. A comfortable one that you'll wear all day kayak fishing. Also for a youtuber, you should look into camera mounting options.. Chest mounts will do fine if you dont plan to do alot of kayaking vids, but 1 or 2 spots for camera would be great. Also that is a decent kayak, the seat is good and it looks wide enough for you to stand in for bass fishing.. just that wide kayaks takes more effort to paddle.. enjoy it!

Your about to go kayak crazy

Wa Cha Xiong - 7 years ago

Bro, im a Yak fisher, and what u should get is a fish finder, crate to carry gear and a type of anchor, cuz wind is your worst enemy. you can get the mini power pole or the anchor wizard. the anchor wizard is cheap but hecka does the job, its like 150 bucks compared to the mini power pole which is in the higher hundreds

Hey Jon, I'm 15 and me and my buddy fish off our kayaks almost ever day and go on some insane trips with them. Was wondering if you maybe wanted to set up a trip and we could go fish for giant bowfin and big bass off the kayaks.

Use gear tracs for mounting multiple things like a transducer arm and fishfinder by Ram mounts. The tracs are the best

Promeric Solutions - 7 years ago

Hey Jon I bought my first one this year as well make sure you have your plugs correct for bottom of you have them some do some don't! I would consider storage and some type of anchor system so you can stay in one spot also when I went it was frustrating on paddle placement after catching a fish so I bought clip mounts to go in front of me for that other wise enjoy man gets me into places real boats can't go and I love it!

The ascends are pretty awesome yaks, I wouldn't spray paint it(won't stick well) but some decals will look sick. Watch some Robert Field and go to your Local ACK for kayak advice and accessories

VA Bass Fishing - 7 years ago

I can't find myself buying a Favorite Rod until y'all find a way to make them the same consistently. Every video it feels like its "New and Improved". I wan't a finished product not a prototype. I feel like thats what they are still. A new design once a year is one thing, but there seems to be a change monthly. Just my 2 cents. Love the videos though.

You bought that kayak like 5 days ago saw it on your car on sunday and now you post a vid??

dave parsons - 7 years ago

Ascend kayaks are the absolute best for the price. I recommend that you should buy the FS12T sit on top it is a literal bass boat. You can stand on the nose and fish. Extremely comfortable and the 12 foot yaks are so so so much more stable when standing then the 10ft's. still it's awesome you bought something you like rather than going for a 3500$ hobie like everyone else.

Robert Biddle - 7 years ago

dave parsons 100% agree! I have the 128T w/yak power and I love it! No need to buy a Hobie just so I can say I own a Hobie.

AJ Harmon Outdoors - 7 years ago

Great Kayak for the money! Worst mistake I made when starting out kayaking was buying a low end kayak. You did not make that mistake!
