Greg, I'm speechless about that beautiful boat. You deserve everything you've fished your heart out for. That kayak is just in her own league, and very well deserved. I could type a book here. The wizard and his talents are just unmatched, with his technology. Loved the Gyo symbol, because it's special to you. Seeing that was touching to me. I've watched 7 year's of your vids, and still do. Seeing you fish so hard, and climb up to that big stage has been awsome, and that's where you are. Through good and bad, you continue to find time to mentor us. I'm in my 3rd season in my kayak. And from a simple knot, bait or color change, setups, tides, and all the little thing's learned, have come from you. Your passion, love and respect to our fish, fisheries, your friends, and respect to other anglers, is what this sport stands for. And the laughs with all the guy's, is a true bond. So god bless bro, good luck with her, stay safe my friend. Can't wait to see you and her perform in the next tourney. I'd love to see your retired baby, hung up in the bass cave. 🙏 😎 🎣

Greg, great new kayak! I've been following u for 2 years now and u inspired me to get a kayak. I bought a used 2017 13.5 with trailer. It was the only thing in my budget at the time. Titan Native copper one. I'm a avid bass fisherman from the past in the lower Michigan/Ohio area. My tournament days are done due to my health and age. I'm 58 now and love to take my kayak to the upper peninsula of Michigan where I enjoy pike fishing. I do not go to far with the kayak on the rivers due to my diabetes health condition. Pedal driving that long seems to slow down with time. I enjoy watching ur videos and wish u the best luck for the 2022 season tournament's! I will be cheering u on from the east side of the country wishing I was there in California. Thanx for the videos and helpful info that I learned from u. Scott

Greg, you are always on the cutting edge of kayak fishing. I have been a subscriber for a couple of years. You got me into kayak fishing. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. Had me sidelined for a year or so. But watching you on KZfaq help get me through the treatments and surgeries. I think I have watched every single video you have made. You're a great fisherman! BTW what are you going to do with your old kayak? Might be a good thing to donate or give it away to a disabled vet or first responder...just a thought. Keep going, I'll be here with you all the way!
