Wow, just noticed Greg is still under 100k subs. Seems unbelievable based on his great content and how well known he is in the community. If we all got one person to watch, I'm sure they would subscribe. I was hooked from his first video years ago.
Just this week, I had a backlash and after getting the line all straightened out I thought I had a bunch of weeds on the hook. It was heavy. Then, the “weeds” started doing head shakes! 2.44 pound largemouth.
Now you become one of us! I think most people own light weight paddle kayaks, instead of $5000 pedal kayaks with trolling motor. Yes, without pedal, rudder, anchor, it is hard to keep kayaks on position it keeps your hands busy to handle both paddle and rod,
“No pedals” is exactly what I said on my first big fish after making the switch from a Radar to an ATAK. Good stuff, Greg. I look forward to watching more skinny water fishing.
As soon as he said they went to the middle at mid day and caught a dink.... I literally knew you were gonna catch a big in the shade. Love that transition.
Only been watching his videos for about a couple months now. I have learned so much thanks to Greg, because I also fish at the delta. Hopefully one of these days I'll see you on the water! Huge fan!!
I really appreciate this segment on your channel. For a couple of years now, I have lusted after your main setup. But I realize I don't need to drop $5k to go out and have fun, I can do it with just the basics. Excited to see what you get up to in this little kayak!
Thanks Greg, Great update. Myself and my wife love Kayak City, we purchased are Slayer Max 12.5 and they have Awesome Customer service. They personally drove it and delivered it too us from there to where we live in Gardnerville NV. We’re also going to be buying a Slayer Max 10 from them to pair with are 12.5 or we might just get a second 12.5 because we love the one we already have. Natives are great and too me thee best fishing platform from a Kayak. There layout and design are great for fishing. I would love a Titan also but those are some heavy/Beefy little tanks and my back isn’t the greatest, so I’ll most likely stick with the Slayer Max 12.5 & soon to be 10. Thank You Greg for All of your Content and what you bring to the Community and Industry. 😎👍
Greg, the bass cave is looking good. Keep kicking butt. I have a Titian propel 12, love it, very stable, but heavy as crap. Nice to have a selection for the places that you go to.
Awesome stuff Greg, you are solely responsible for my kayak fishing addiction. Thanks for turning me on to frog fishing years ago and that Booyah dart frog
You can never have too many kayaks (currently with five in my navy). For remote areas that require portage , I purchased an extremely rugged Sea Eagle inflatable. The 385fta and 350fx are two I recommend. Enjoy your fleet sir.
I don’t think I’ve seen you fish lake Sonoma yet! I’d love to see your approach to this lake. Super deep, even with the drought, and little to no mats. It’s my home lake and I still find it incredibly challenging at time. Only like an hour and a half away from berryessa, and a similar distance from Clearlake.
Greg, that's awsome. We know you could fish off a floating log, and catch fish. I purchased my 1st kayak. I fish a 1600 acre lake, and wanna start tournamants. Finally off the bank. However my kayak is a 120 PDL. And it's a hybird, so I also have the fitted trolling motor that drops in, where my pedals go. I'm 5ft 7" 148 lbs. So I love my boat. But striping it all down, and setting it up. Some day's, i just want 3 rods a plano, and some soft plastics and my boat with my paddle. Love the falcon. When we research our kayak, everything , look's smaller and lighter on tv, or the vids. Mine bare bones is 65lbs. Some days I just wanna do exactly what this video was about. Stay safe bro..🤟🙏🎣
This is my type of fishing. Love accessing those remote river waters and entering low pressure waters, aggressive river bass spend their whole lives in the gym. If you’re ever in Atlanta area, we got lots to choose from here as far as black bass species and many others, lots of rivers and kayakable only waters. Lots pressure fishing at its greatest.
The falcon 11 reminds me of my first kayak which was a pelican. Small little kayak, but it was a starter that got me into it. Really enjoyed it. Congrats on the new yaks!
Had a feeling that’s what this video would be about but didn’t think you would be unloading 2 kayaks… lol! Gotta love the simplicity of it and the water you can get to. Got your own kayak shop now. Very cool!
awesome combo of kayaks! I just picked up the max10 last week from KayakCity and took it out yesterday to Berryessa for its maiden voyage! Someone beat me to the Orange they had...
This was such an unexpected video but man was it awesome! I've always loved your titan setup and someday would love to have something close, but seeing you make a barebones video like this was just awesome to see.
Been eyeing that Falcon ever since I saw it on the Headwaters channel until it disappeared of the Native site during Covid, but good to see it’s finally available now!
Dude so cool!!! I just got one of the falcon 11’s in grey a couple weeks ago. Been using it for small lakes and rivers around me and it’s been awesome!!! The simplicity of it has been the most rewarding thing. I did add an anchor wizard which has been really beneficial.
I'm having issues with my anchor wizard man- when I'm winding it up it will slip and let like 10 inches or so of line out- always catches again and starts reeling in but- not sure why it's doing this. I'm a little afraid to take it apart for fear there are springs and stuff in there that might come flying out- ever had yours apart?
I’ve never had it apart. I would say contact the manufacturer and see what they say. Try this though, unwind all your line and have someone hold the end and keep tension on the line as you wind it back in. I did have some issues with it not grabbing the first couple times I used it but that was mostly user error. I noticed if I wind it up to fast it will not grab. Also I will frequently when releasing it slowly release it so it doesn’t make so much noise. Hope some of that helps.
Thanks for showing us your latest purchases. Yes, you can't have enough kayaks - I say the same thing about guns and ammo 😂 That big fish was a fantastic way to break in the newest kayak! Keep your videos coming - they're really enjoyable to have my coffee with.
I love fishing the rivers and creeks love your channel dude keep up the good work can't wait to see what you have in store for us next video. Have a blessed day and God bless 🙏
Of course he would upload at 4am west coast.. I just got off work and about to fall asleep. Damn you Greg and your east coast time!! None the less, great content.
Greg I am not near as good of a fisherman as you but I watched your frog only tournament video and this video, and when fishing that frog, if you will wait just a split second longer before setting the hook you will get a lot more of those fish in the boat. As for myself I say, “one two” before I set the hook on them and it seems to work well for me. You are one of my favorite fishermen on RUclips so I mean no disrespect by this comment, I just figured it may help.
Another great video Greg, kayak fishing is taking over man! Shout out to our friend Shane LemMon for winning the Otay tournament yesterday. Keep the videos coming!
I got some awesome private spots that would be perfect testing grounds for your new yaks. Catching bass in deep grass? And I mean 20’+ deep grass on jigs. Then turn around and frog/punch up shallow. All within a couple hours or so for you. Near Camanche/Pardee.
Greg, I started out 'Yak fishing in a small "Paddle-Type" like that Falcon, many years ago (until you talked me into buying my Titan 10.5, that is!). Had to "get back to roots" of creek and shallow lagoon fishing last Summer, so bought a couple of "un-powered" 'Yaks. (Funny, how you "instantly have fishing Buddies", when they know you have more than 3 'Yaks, isn't it?). Lol.....
My old town predator MK is a beast to handle. I’m thinking of get something like this. Great video, can you recommend a phone case that can accept a lanyard?
Greg, love ya man. You and your content ROCK! I apologize for this question, but here goes anyway. You have so much great gear. Is most of it provided by sponsors? Thanks, brother. I’m livin’ the dream vicariously through you.
@@philfoster4298 I am in Savannah Georgia. The dealer here is suppose to have two coming. Suppose to be in today. I put a deposit down so my fingers are crossed.
amazing video, i'm still shopping for a first kayak. Haven't fell in love with anything yet but research tells me i need a 12 foot is as much as i know.
Not sure if this helps, but I'm 5'11" and 175 lbs. I have an Ascend 133x, which is a 13 foot kayak. It's similar to Greg's Titan. The size makes it ridiculously stable and I can stand up almost effortlessly, and moving around it is simple too as long as it's weighted correctly. I don't mind paddling in general (it's tough with these larger kayaks and paddling this thing loaded down with gear takes a LOT of effort), but when I'm fishing I can't stand having to drop my rod and reposition, so a trolling motor with spot lock is a key thing for me personally. With that being said, the trolling motor is also my main way of moving around on the water. If it were to break one day and I still intended to launch it somewhere and fish without the motor, I would not be taking it out on a large body of water. So you can see where the pros and cons for these larger kayaks comes into play. I own twenty-five 3700 and eight 3600 size utility boxes for my tackle, and I was able to build a section underneath the seating that holds eight of those 3700 boxes. In the back section, I can fit the remaining in tackle bags (along with the trolling motor battery and a 48 qt cooler) if I really wanted to. Often time its completely unnecessary, but I like the option should I need it. Basically, I don't think I'd enjoy a smaller sized kayak. The stability usually is vastly different, and I like to stand and fish whenever possible. I took it to my mom's house and practiced flipping and getting back on it in her pool; it was surprisingly much, much easier than I anticipated it would be for its size. Bare in mind that this was when it did not have any gear on it though. I've learned that it comes down so much to what fits you the most, personally. What are your intentions for the boat? Where do you want to fish? What do you want to fish for? How do you intend to upgrade, if you even do at all? How much gear do you have and are you an angler that feels comfortable on the water with one rod, or ten? Do you want to be able to easily haul the kayak around, or is it going to be so large and loaded down that you need a small trailer (or truck bed extender) for it? Usually the larger you go, the more costly the kayak and its accessories will become. And obviously you need to take into account how physically capable that you are; some people just don't have the physical capacity to move a large kayak around. Sorry if that's too much text. I really oversimplified it, honestly. I just think it's important to share your experiences with other people with issues like these. As a fellow angler, I just hope that you find the yak that you'll love and one that will do everything for you that you want and need for it to do. After using my yak and some others, I don't think I'll ever be in a smaller one again. Not by my choice, at least.
@@jamescanady3442 great piece you wrote here. Lots of goodies that helps. I'm 6'4'' 250, so i'm aiming atleast a 12 foot kayak. I would enjoy a peddle kayak or the ability to put one on in the future. Problem is most stores want to sell the ones capable already with it and not seperate. Just trying to save money and slowly add things on my kayak instead of exploding all at once on it. I've already got my roof rack and kayak j hooks. Just waiting/shopping/researching what best fits me. Standing up and fishing sounds ideal and i'll probably be mostly taking it on lakes or bigger rivers occasionally. Not sure if i would get a trolling motor on it but some of these peddle drives are really neat the new one with the paddles that folds under itself in the shallow is really impressive, i think by old town? I would like a fish finder so having the battery storage and built in whole for the transducer would be a plus. I like a dry storage, slides down the sides for attachments, and rubber grip on the bottom is a plus as like i said like standing up to fish when possible.
I was wondering when you going to get ultra light. That's my setup too. The tank with torqeedo and a 60 pounder for small river or a pond. No mid range though. Garage is getting crowded quick. Great vid.
My wife and I just got our Falcon 11s. We love them! I plan on going out this Sunday and hopefully catching some snook and red from it. Where did you get that seat cushion? The seat is comfy stock, but I am always wanting "more" comfort. I am now subbed to your channel and looking forward to more content. Great work!
Now this is my kind of fishing. I do it all the time! It’s an adventure getting into areas that are untouched and very rewarding.
I agree. I don't have a kayak, but I love adventuring and looking for new fishing spots myself
Wow, just noticed Greg is still under 100k subs. Seems unbelievable based on his great content and how well known he is in the community. If we all got one person to watch, I'm sure they would subscribe. I was hooked from his first video years ago.
Awesome adventure, we need more videos Greg!! Id be down to see longer videos, who else? Thanks again Greg for the great content.
Greg. This is my world..small water, paddle, no power.. simple fishing
thanks for sharing..
100,000! coming soon! so excited for you.
Just this week, I had a backlash and after getting the line all straightened out I thought I had a bunch of weeds on the hook. It was heavy. Then, the “weeds” started doing head shakes! 2.44 pound largemouth.

Nothing better than going back to the basics. Bag-o-lures. No extra crap.
Super fun to see the evolution to the next yak. Got you to some fun locations. And that tank at the end!!! Great vid.
Greg, the bass cave is looking good. Keep kicking butt. I have a Titian propel 12, love it, very stable, but heavy as crap. Nice to have a selection for the places that you go to.
I like the mapping that deeper added to the app. It’s a great starter sonar plus can use from the bank.
Awesome stuff Greg, you are solely responsible for my kayak fishing addiction. Thanks for turning me on to frog fishing years ago and that Booyah dart frog
Awesome Greg! Thanks for taking it old school and going simpler for this video. Great stuff as always!!
I love the new additions and the possibilities they bring! Definitely down to see more river trips.
You can never have too many kayaks (currently with five in my navy). For remote areas that require portage , I purchased an extremely rugged Sea Eagle inflatable. The 385fta and 350fx are two I recommend. Enjoy your fleet sir.
About 40lbs, but with 500lb+ capacities. Good portable option for us Squatches. Very happy.
This video is the exact reason i want a kayak along with my boat
I likes the way how you organize your Garage though.
You literally got your kayak where I got my Kayak. Those are some good peeps at kayak city.
I don’t think I’ve seen you fish lake Sonoma yet! I’d love to see your approach to this lake. Super deep, even with the drought, and little to no mats. It’s my home lake and I still find it incredibly challenging at time. Only like an hour and a half away from berryessa, and a similar distance from Clearlake.
Some of the kayak rigs people have nowadays cost as much as a nice used boat! This was a great change of pace! Keep it up Greg
Nice meeting you that day GB! Looks like it was a fun time there :) Glad you were able to get in and out easily in high and low tide :) Cheers!
I’ve had a falcon 11 for a month now and I’m very impressed with it, and I think you will be too.

Nice fleet of boats! I shall call you Admiral Blanchard going forward!
You motivated me to get an inflatable kayak because I live in an apartment where it's impossible to fit a kayak in. Love your videos man keep it up!
right on man! I've lived in my fair share of apartments and unique spaces over the years. Makes kayak storage interesting!

First Kayak for fishing was a tamarack angler 120. Could drag that thing anywhere or even shoulder it.

Love watching your work n knowledge of this sport really helping me out

catching 3 pounders like that in backwaters and creeks is the best. they fight like 5+ lbers and never give up.
You catch more fish on your new kayak than I got on mine that I own for half a year now.

@@CoachWoodwardoutdoors Thanks Coach. I’ve been on waiting lists at two dealers for 3 months now and no news from either one. Good luck to you.
That is the type of fishing that makes me want to buy a kayak. My bass boat has some limitations.
Same place I bought my Native Titan!
Boom! Good Stuff
amazing video, i'm still shopping for a first kayak. Haven't fell in love with anything yet but research tells me i need a 12 foot is as much as i know.
Not sure if this helps, but I'm 5'11" and 175 lbs. I have an Ascend 133x, which is a 13 foot kayak. It's similar to Greg's Titan. The size makes it ridiculously stable and I can stand up almost effortlessly, and moving around it is simple too as long as it's weighted correctly. I don't mind paddling in general (it's tough with these larger kayaks and paddling this thing loaded down with gear takes a LOT of effort), but when I'm fishing I can't stand having to drop my rod and reposition, so a trolling motor with spot lock is a key thing for me personally. With that being said, the trolling motor is also my main way of moving around on the water. If it were to break one day and I still intended to launch it somewhere and fish without the motor, I would not be taking it out on a large body of water. So you can see where the pros and cons for these larger kayaks comes into play.
I own twenty-five 3700 and eight 3600 size utility boxes for my tackle, and I was able to build a section underneath the seating that holds eight of those 3700 boxes. In the back section, I can fit the remaining in tackle bags (along with the trolling motor battery and a 48 qt cooler) if I really wanted to. Often time its completely unnecessary, but I like the option should I need it. Basically, I don't think I'd enjoy a smaller sized kayak. The stability usually is vastly different, and I like to stand and fish whenever possible. I took it to my mom's house and practiced flipping and getting back on it in her pool; it was surprisingly much, much easier than I anticipated it would be for its size. Bare in mind that this was when it did not have any gear on it though.
I've learned that it comes down so much to what fits you the most, personally. What are your intentions for the boat? Where do you want to fish? What do you want to fish for? How do you intend to upgrade, if you even do at all? How much gear do you have and are you an angler that feels comfortable on the water with one rod, or ten? Do you want to be able to easily haul the kayak around, or is it going to be so large and loaded down that you need a small trailer (or truck bed extender) for it? Usually the larger you go, the more costly the kayak and its accessories will become. And obviously you need to take into account how physically capable that you are; some people just don't have the physical capacity to move a large kayak around.
Sorry if that's too much text. I really oversimplified it, honestly. I just think it's important to share your experiences with other people with issues like these. As a fellow angler, I just hope that you find the yak that you'll love and one that will do everything for you that you want and need for it to do. After using my yak and some others, I don't think I'll ever be in a smaller one again. Not by my choice, at least.

Origins of yak fishin there! Love it
@Greg Blanchard you should get the new yakgadget horizontal rod holders for the falcon, I have a pair for my shearwater, and they are clutch.
Get back in the tributaries! Nice fish back there, Greg!

Love your videos! I was wondering, can you stand up on the Falcon 11?
He did in the vid
Greg definitely loves the color orange 🍊
