What made you change from the torqeedo to the Newport?
since you are upgrading I'll bet Harbor Freight has some replacement wheels, maybe something pneumatic? tight lines
Could you tell me what kind of Battery 🔋 Box that was used for you new Newport Vessels drive setup? I didn’t know if it’s a Custom made one or if it’s from Newport Vessels? Thanks Greg. And love how good your Native Titan turned out.
Hey Greg I’m looking to upgrade from my entry level kayak and appreciate your feedback on the three kayaks you have. My question is why did you pick 10/10.5 version and not 12/12.5? Was it a transportability based decision?
What a good guy that’s awesome usually when I get to the mechanic he says I needed new Johnson rods it was a little extra than the estimate sorry! He’s an honest good dude
Have you ever been in a titan 12? I'd like to know if it's more stable than the 10.5 because I'm 6'3" 200 pounds.
Nice video buddy! When you coming back to Texas for a bit?
Sorry but I didn’t see the cart that you use to load n unload in ur description.
If anyone’s interested in an NRS chinook PFD (s/m) brand new with tags hit me up! Got one for sale that I never got to use
You’ll look like Greg on the water which means you’ll fish like Greg..right? Lol
Greg, do you use a leash on rods not being used? why or why not? Trying to decide if it’s worth the hassle
What Marina or boat ramp did you use at New Melones
how did you like the new motor? I see you managed to get some orange on there!! ha! looks good man.
It's weird seeing your kayak…. clean. Lol!
Great video! Thanks for sharing the kayak rigging stuff … appreciate all your content 👍
My husband says you ain't a real fisherman until you go noodling! LOL!!! Just kidding. He and my kids love watching your channel. Keep on fishing!
Let’s go Stockton is my hometown never fished for bass there though need to go one day.
I don’t understand how you don’t have more subs. You have the best fishing channel on here.
Pump, pause, Pump, pause, pump pump, pause on that bladebait. Let it go to the bottom, get a lure knocker for snags. Fish the ledges and deep points, it works it just takes some patience and rhythm.
Greg, hell yes!!! Drop that blade bait down on their heads and watch the magic happen. Greatest fishing lure known to mankind in the winter. This will make those cold winter days warmer hauling in those slobadonkasaurases, along with a free IPA. Tight lines, sir and don't forget you need to get to ND/MN and fish with the NDYakAnlgler this Spring. Your fanbase demand it.
When Hobie converts you to their PA 12 , that video will be awesome, lol.
Sign on the dotted line, 😄
That's awesome that you've been so impressed with the Slayer Max 10..because I've been looking at my brand new one sitting on saw horses in my garage for the past 3 weeks..ponds are iced over. So can't wait to get out there. How do you like those NRS boots Greg?
I went from Kayak to Bass Boat. I don’t regret getting rid of my Hobie one bit.
Man, I need a fidget spinner for my kayak!
Very cool of Greg to give a shout-out to the wizard for his skills
hey greg! love the videos, would the titan kayak be suitable for cartop transport?
Switch kayak challenge. Greg on the Wilderness and Wizard on the Titan.
You keep getting bites swimming that jig back to the yak. Second video that occurred.
I'm glad you did that breakdown between the Titan 10.5 and the slayer max. I've been wanting that for a while now
Do you make those shirts how can I get one
Thanks Greg I saw that kayak question on the last video. I have to say that I made my new kayak selection off of watching your channel and studying your set up. Where your electronics are , net placement , paddle placement etc. Mine is a 22 Native Slayer propel 12.5 with the Newport vessels 180 ( 60 amp hr lithium 24 v). Still learning my set up but very satisfied with it so far
Greg, why'd you go from a torqeedo to the nk 180s?
