Jackson Kayak Fishing team members, Drew Gregory and Brooks Beatty, recently landed in the Florida Keys to test out Jackson Kayak’s newest fishing kayak, the Big Tuna.

Here’s what Drew had to say about the boat in the article he posted on Jackson Kayak’s website:

FACE TIME SEATING

We also enjoyed soaking some live and cut bait while in the “face-time seating” position, and getting to hang out and have some good conversation while we waited for the fish to bite.  Brooks even mentioned “I really like how in this boat you get to have a conversation with the person you’re fishing with…..”

TUNA TANK

The “Tuna Tank” (live bait well) also performed very well and I selfishly wanted to use the Big Tuna on days where we split up solo just because it was SO EASY to just put my boat in the water and then dump my bait into and paddle off to catch the fish

TWO PERSON STANDING

The boat was plenty stable with two people and Brooks and I could even both stand and fish from it. I’m not sure everyone could do this, but both being kayak fishing veterans it wasn’t too hard for us.

PADDLING SOLO

The boat solo was a blast to paddle and actually went a lot faster than I thought it would, given its super stable 34-inch beam and 14 ft length.  The stability when using the boat solo is extremely stable as one would imagine with such width.  For anyone who is looking for a great “big guy” solo boat, you definitely need to check this one out.
