Finally bought my graduation present to myself, the Ride 115! The guys over at HOOK1 are awesome, I highly recommend them if you're in the market for a kayak. Took it out this morning for a few hours on Old Hickory and couldn't find a bass to save my life. I tried everything. Didn't want to get skunked so I did what Alphahawk does better than any of us, put on a Crappie Magnet to catch bluegill and caught several. Then I went back after the bass and finally at the end of the few hour trip caught this one on a plastic worm. Not a trophy but a solid 2 pounds, first bass in the kayak!

I'm so glad I bought this thing, it's really the most relaxing way to fish. I'm not particularly interested in catching bluegill but even catching those was a blast for me with this thing.

On a side note, DO NOT buy the Carlisle kayak paddles from Cabelas. They are absolute CRAP. Mine bent and had a crease in it within an hour of paddling, couldn't paddle too hard or far from that moment because I was afraid it was going to break. I'm returning it and headed to HOOK1 after I post this to buy one from them.
