What I love about Greg and his content is his pure and mature demeanor. Never riding trends or screaming at our faces. Not so serious to the point where it becomes dull. Just a honest man who loves to share his enjoyment and experiences. Safe to say I'm not getting off this roller coaster anytime soon. Thanks for always looking out for us Greg.

[@anthonyvespia6662]

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. 🙏 😎 🎣

Love that you give stuff away every so often! Within just the past month alone, I got my first Nativewatercraft kayak because of you, and fished my first Kayak Bass tournament because of you... And I'm hooked for life. An NK180 would look really good on the back of my new Slayer Max 10!!! Thanks for all you do to influence the kayak bass fishing community! You're awesome Greg!!

It’s always a treat seeing the new things you and The Wizard come up with. The balance between form and function is spot on, and I’m sure the kayak manufacturers themselves are watching this taking notes. Also glad to see the junk drawer back 👍

[@shanehoosier1825]

Seeing this build come to life was extremely inspiring. I love modifying my kayak almost as much as I do fishing. I absolutely love the possibilities that 3d printing has added to the game! There is nothing like fishing from a new rig! Wish you the best of luck in this awesome build!

[@scotthafner9525]

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
