Fishing Kayaks vs Bass Boats: Anglers React to LOADED Kayaks

Bass Fishing January 4, 2026 4 views

Fishing kayaks vs. bass boat anglers, what could go wrong!? We set up shop at the Big Bass Bash tournament in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, to get live reactions from boat anglers on what they thought of our fully decked out fishing kayaks. We’re sure you might be thinking, “just buy a boat,” but some of the reactions from these boat owners might surprise you.
