Nice job, how deep was the water and were you fishing on bottom?
That was about 20 feet. The whole river bottom is only about 20 feet deep there until you get to the first of the old dams. There it drops down to 40. The upper portion where I fish is pretty uniform bottom, all rock, the very beginnings of the Appalachian Mountain chain.
What river are you fishing? Enjoy your videos.
flint, it's the Black Warrior River is west-central Alabama.
great show Funbun!!!!!
Tell us more about your mudmotor
What do you want to know? I have an entire playlist on the YouTube channel:

You a YouTube phenomenon!!!
Yeah, it's been a journey with this mud motor. Simple, reliable, durable power for running the river. I put way too much power through that first powerhead. If I build another one I'm either going to build a 460cc motor or start wit ha 196cc racing engine like Box Stock Engine and go from there: Welcome to Boxstockproject.com Race Engines and parts at an affordable cost- A VBODesigns.com Web Site Design!
I think either one would make a good torque build with a Black Mamba Jr. camshaft. Keep the RPM down to 5k, make all the power down low. Anyway I'm happy with the current Champion Power Equipment powerhead in stock configuration because it has a really good rocker arm design that makes it much more fuel efficient.
Honestly gallons-per-hour trumps miles-per-hour.
What makes you so sure it's the beginning and not the end? lolQuote:

Yeah, according to the historic society here, the river bottom changes from sandy to rocky. They count that as the very beginnings of the Appalachian Mountain chain. I figure the historians and geologists know what they're talking about. That's what I based the statement on.
Also more people who through hike the Appalachian Trail start at the southern most point. While most people usually start in Georgia, the Appalachian Trail has been connected to the Pinhoti Trial in Alabama which start at the highest point in the state of Alabama: Mount Cheaha. Again the highest point in Alabama happens only 130 miles away from where the Black Warrior River's fundamentally changes to a structure like the rest of the Appalachian Mountain chain.
Also that the geographic change happens dramatically enough that south of Tuscaloosa are the flood plains of the Black Warrior River, north of town the hills are high enough for military student pilots to practice the Death Star trench run. That change happen right in downtown Tuscaloosa, AL. I may be wrong, but I think that's enough to say it is the very beginning of the Appalachian Mountain chain.
