I finally retired my Kayak (New beginnings)

[@timothyperiard7048]

Wow Greg! That new Kayak is awesome. The wizard did an awesome job as always. I wish I had a wizard here in New York. Love the new rig! I could use that motor as i am not getting any younger. Lol. Love the videos as always. Keep up the great work.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Yo Tim! LOL. You've been selected as the winner for the Newport motor. Send me an email at [e-mail] and we'll confirm your identity and get that motor out to ya ASAP. Congrats man! -Greg

When I saw your title, I said, no way… greg is going to a BOAT?!? No way. What was I thinking. He would never. I’m so glad you are sticking to your roots as a kayak fisherman. You have influenced the whole kayak community whether you know it or not. Continue to do big things greg! Love the content everytime

[@davidjhomrich]

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!!

[@1hotahi964]

Sold the bass boat when I retired 5 years ago. Now after 5 years your new Titan has solidified a new Titan vs bass boat! Amazing setup!!

[@varmintmark]

Damn! That is one clean rig! Awesome to see there are guys out there that still take pride in their work!!!

[@tkl7437]

I’m really glad Greg didn’t make us wake and just make a video on buying and delivering the new kayaks to the wizzard 😂

You think he bought these?

Not the only one intrigued ... I'm new to kayaking and vids like this one really help my vision of what I want/need ... ahhhhh ... someday...

[@johnkent9019]

Thanks for sharing your first fish on your new boat! You are livin the life!

[@joshandrews441]

Greg has changed the way so many people look at kayak fishing. As a kayak angler myself, I love watching the work and the engineering that these guys put into making their kayaks the best they can be

[@phillipknopp2749]

It was really cool to see the use of the CNC and 3D printer to mod out the kayak. Love the build and engineering that went into it!

[@joshscassero8279]

What an amazing new boat. Good luck continuing to slay them. We will all be watching.

[@MadVuDu]

I do like build videos. It’s been four years? Time flies. Thanks for the great content!

[@greatamericansurvival]

The Wizard comes through. Wow, As always a great looking kayak. I miss my Native, gonna have to get another one.

[@r3d3y3]

Inspiring….will no doubt change the game for all other kayak anglers out there. Definitely has for me. Thanks for sharing!

[@PhilLeshh]

Newport did a great job on that kayak. Congrats, Greg!

[@jelleyman1]

Man, as someone who has barely had time to fish this year, let alone take the kayak out, I'm happily jealous of your new boat. Can't wait to see all the new content with the new boat. Congrats.

[@poggyvang1123]

Wonderful craftsmanship on setting up the yak.

[@tlkmad1]

That is an amazing kayak and work done by Romel. Looking forward to more videos.

[@TheEpikFailz]

Been running the same kayak for three years and now this video is making me want to get another one and build it up!

[@Krazy_Shortz]

This is soooo CLEAN that it's NASTY 🙌, LOVE the color combination specially the red accent 😍 can't wait to test drive one of this. right now I'm shopping for my first Fishing Kayak!!!! Great Build. can't wait for more videos, be save 😀!!!!

[@Marko-goes-fishing]

Been watching your videos for a few years now. Thanks for your hard work!

[@LastRODbender]

There goes that new kayak smell! Great fishing! Mine stayed fresh for two weeks.

[@saraalisonplatizky5085]

Honestly it’s so awesome that you have a garage full of kayaks. Maybe one day I can get on your level!!! Loving the videos!

That Newport unit sure would be sweet on the back of my bonafide. Romel and Greg, keep up the great work guys! Beers at the Porthole next time you're out my way!

[@robsperuta1206]

Hey Greg love seeing the new yaks much deserved, also love seeing the wizard and his creative ideas and hope the Newport vessel motor works flawless for you.

[@RogerBankerFishmiser]

Wow, what an awesome setup! The Wizard's work just keeps getting better and better. That motor would make my tiny Pelican fly! lol.

Fantastic looking setup for sure! It doesn't get much better.....best of luck in 2023!

Awesome setup Greg! The Wizard is one heck of a kayak builder. Now time to get the new boat slimmed. Can not wait to see it on the Delta

[@TheLmv88]

Couldn't wait to watch this Greg! Hope that boat catches some awesome out there!

[@EthanGoodbrod]

Taking the time to show all of the details involved in your kayak are extremely helpful. Keith a new peddle drive kayak on the way (finally!!!) it opened up a lot of options!!! And it would be sick to have the ability to motor around on the bigger lakes! Thanks for taking the time to showcase and educate everyone Greg!

[@mikev890]

Love the way the wizard builds your yaks. Big fan. Just got a slayer max 10 and loving it.

[@fishforlife2984]

Wow what a yak ! With all the comforts for an enjoyable fishing experience !

Been super fortunate that my schedule the past couple of weeks has allowed me go on a fishing binge and it has been amazing. In between each fishing trip, your videos have been holding me down and keeping me both excited and engaged with learning more about how I can improve. Keep it up. Your passion for fishing is extremely contagious.

Oh yea big man! New and improved kayak. I am fairly new to the channel, you have inspired me to save up for a native kayak and rig up somewhat the same set up you got. That motor would be a huge deal for me and for my new hobby that I will be getting very into here soon. So hyped for new vids coming out! (Entry) lol

I’m working on getting the slayer 12.5 and I feel like that Newport would be the best combo for the tournament fishing I have around my area. Thanks for always setting it up right Greg

[@mikejacques8863]

This is by far the best channel I subscribe to on KZbin, the way that you work through situations- whether it’s fishing or logistics is so helpful to people just entering the sport. You’re such an honest and positive person that it on those tough skunk days it’s always but be back of head how you can put a positive spin and as you always say- it can turn around in an instant. Thanks for all your hard work- I love the tech builds- you both have given me a ton of ideas for my own project. Thank you again Greg- keep on ripping tips and posting vids

[@The94accord]

I'm surprised as much as you travel and fish that you don't have a trailer for your kayak. After getting my big boat with a trailer it is amazing not having to set the boat up everytime I load and unload.

[@jeremystewart9698]

I love seeing all that can be done to any fishing rig. This kayak is amazing with all the functional upgrades along side the personalized details. Even better yet “it will fish!”
