Thanks for the add. 
Hailing from Snohomish county area, I fished out of back of my buddy's Skeeter for a while until few years ago.  I just bought my first Kayak, Pelican Catch 130 HD.  This thing is heavy, perhaps I should have not overestimated my ability to lift heavy stuff and gone with Hobie passport.   ::)  Waiting on the hitch bed extender and kayak kart before I hit the water. 
I am looking forward to bassin' (smallie preferred but I like largie as well) with some of you.

Pictures will be posted as soon as I get it out on the water.  Let me know if someone out there is interested in trading this for the passport.  I think I need something lighter...although I like how spacious this boat is.

Congrats on the new boat.  Don't get too hung up on weight, get your chart and use the tool.  Then go fishing.  Note:  my boat is 145 pounds EMPTY.  No, I don't throw it over my head and walk great distance.  I also prefer to put in in at a ramp instead of an unimproved launch site with my Boonedox landing gear.  You work around the weight.

When I'm on the water there is no other kayak I would prefer to be in though and that's what counts for me.
Many go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not the fish that they are after. Henry David Thoreau
