Ok, so earlier on I thanked the person who orginally made this rack but since then I've modified it a little. This rack has worked flawlessly on 6 trip with no signs of wear and tear.
The little beauty holding the catfish is may daughter, that was her first fish every caught 100% on her own. It fought valiently but at last she prevailed.

Nathan good job for bringing your child to go fishing. Sometimes when you bring your child to go fishing and you don't catch any fish, then you see her catch a fish, it makes you feel happier than catching that fish yourself. This is one reason why I bring my children to go fishing. Besides fishing on a jetski, you can have more conversations with them. Btw, let your daughter know she did a good job. Nice Catch!

Thanks Alan. Yeah she's my fishing partner. Her twin has no interest in getting up at 4 am while this one got upset with me because I wouldn't let her go this past Sunday due to she get's really cranky getting up that early, looks like this at times . I love the conversation we have the bonding time is priceless. She was reallt ticked this weekend when I caught 10 fish and my catfish was about twice the size of the one she caught.
Man am I glad I cought this jetski fishing bug, great times with my kids and hopefully will get to hook up with some of you next summer for some saltwater fishing.

Anytime next year, if you come to LA let me know ahead of time. I'll be waiting for you to guide you to different fishing areas on the ocean if you want me to. If you think I am qualified to do so. Tomorrow I will try my first time to go to lake fishing. I hope I can catch some bass or striper.

Nice setup, Nathan!

Very cool.Nice pics.

What lake is that?

Alan, I would love to come over and fish with you. Thanks for the offer, next summer I'll be there; already informed my wife of my weekend plans.
HS thanks, it was fun to build and even more fun to use.
Hobiefish that's Lake Pleasant about 45 minutes northeast of Phoenix.

are you using the rope to hold things in place, if so wouldnt bungees work better?

That's what the ropes are for. I haven't had any issues and the rope was lying around.
