How does it handle? How long is it? How much and where you get it?

Not sure how it is regulated. All I know is if it rains you can tell in the flint

Yeah I watch the water level at Brownsboro (Hwy 72) online, it can go up 10 feet in a day and be back to normal 2 days later. I've been duck hunting down below Clouds Cove and seen it rise a foot an hour I think it is not regulated at all. I've been on most parts of it and there are no controls in place anyhere ... no dams ... nothing. I do notice that the water level all the way up to 431 is drastically effected by the Tennessee River level and I've seen it back flow at Clouds cove all the way up to Little Cove Rd Flint River at Brownsboro The Big Tuna is really cool in that its can be rigged as a tandem (2 seater) or you can take the seats out and re-rig one more toward the center for a single person. I opted for it instead of the Coosa because I wanted the larger capacity to carry gear with. With two people it takes a little getting used to but then it handles pretty well once you figure it out ... basically the one in front just paddles and alternates sides with each stroke. The one in back controls all steering and watches the one in front and paddles on the opposite side they are taking their stroke. Just by myself this boat handles fantastic. It can run fast, turn pretty tight, and I've never had any balance issues with it. Standing up on it is not the most stable but once you get the hang of it it aint hard to do. It is a little heavy ... close to 100 lbs rigged up. I bought a PWC trailer and stripped it down then set it up for my boat. A buddy of mine has one and we can stack them together on the trailer easily. I've modded mine quite a bit. It has an anchor trolley on the left side and a track on the right side for my fish finder. I think I gave $1500 for it (without rudder) at Caney Fork Outdoors . I don't need the rudder since I don't go into big water ... just Flint so far. I probably have $2000 in it with the mods, $2200 with the trailer.

Good looking setup, Rocket.
The Flint and Paint Rock are free-flowing to the Tennessee. Gorgeous in some places, affected by chemical runoff from ag fields in some, but still quite nice.

Thursday's catch flint river walker to OP 1100-1615  Friday's catch flint river walker to OP 1030-1550  Bottom pic, top left fish? Those are some cool looking rigs. I have never fished from a kayak. Only motored boats, flat bottoms, and canoes.

That's what I thought, too. Or a bigger bass in a silver disco suit.
