Adapt & Overcome — Terry Colley on Kayak Fishing, Tournaments & Refusing to Quit

Some anglers make excuses. Terry Colley makes adjustments.

Kayak Fishing Safety — What Most Anglers Are Getting Dangerously Wrong | Alex Perz!

Kayak fishing is growing fast — and so are the dangerous mistakes. No life jacket. Overloaded hulls. Sloppy wiring that fails when it matters most. North Georgia kayak angler and "The Measuring Board" host Alex Perz joins From Paddles to Props to have the safety conversation most anglers are avoiding. We cover why so many anglers still aren't wearing life jackets, the real dangers of overloading a kayak, rigging and wiring mistakes that can fail catastrophically, and what a truly safe kayak setup looks like. This isn't a lecture — it's a real conversation from someone who loves this sport and wants to protect it.
