Perfect time for toilet views, just enough time for the legs to fall asleep. 😂

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Mikes singing always makes people feel better!

They’re the three best friends that anyone could have!! They’re the three best friends that anyone could have!!

[@ninjarider84]

"Are there fish with teeth here" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the look on Greg's face

[@BareBassin]

Your kayaking tournaments and tournament practices are my favorite thing on KZbin right now, has been for probably 2 years keep it up man!

[@Flordiakayakbass]

100 agree

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you sir

[@chuatyvang3817]

saw that this video was 55 minutes. was thinking its going to take me a few days to watch it all.. but couldnt stop and watched it all in one sitting.

[@miraclefred]

You get a two-fer, letting Mike man the camera, the commentary is all star.

[@richdagsher2931]

Couple things #1 Mike is ballin with all of the Gamma line! #2 I love that no matter how long you’ve been fishing, going to a new lake, especially a legendary one, turns us into kids again!

[@jessemcdole7621]

Been lookin foreword to this vid all week. Love to see Mike he cracks me up

[@MrHardcoregamerLP]

What a great group of friends you got Greg. Big ups for Terrance shipping out the yaks and supporting you guys even if he isn’t fishing this time! (Also, now that I’m done with the vid, I’m SO HYPED for the tourney vid)

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

A great (and diverse) bunch for sure!

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg is my favorite angler. Watching this kid in college fish out of a $400 little kayak. His passion and how he's become, a top ten angler in Cali. And that is not easy. And all the good times, great friends. When Greg is all business, and gets on a bite, watch out!! Amazing what he's brought to our sport and a Amazing mentor..🎣 🙏

[@CasualBassGuy]

Yoooooooo LOL. Mike said I had to check my Terrence hahahahhhahaha that’s so funy

[@stewdumplings7847]

The fact you dont use forward sonar is a huge plus as a viewer. Tons of respect for you guys are still fisherman and not video game bait testers.

[@The_Mortgage_Angler]

That's awesome you shipped kayaks through Sierra Nevada. I will definetly support that beer more. Good meeting you out there bud.

[@JOSHOOD.]

Everyone needs a Terrence in their life; fishing cheerleader, beard of wisdom, and a beer supplier/hookup.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Terence is the man!

[@SwaggyMutts]

These "vlog" style videos are my favorite. And no matter how long they are it's never enough 😂 hope Terrence is feeling better

[@JamesKahil]

Best thing about vlogging, in 10 years you’ll be able to look back at these & enjoy the memories! Glad y’all had a good time bro!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

So true. We already look back at some from a few years ago and have a good laugh

[@chrisinsley5880]

Super Cool video! And props to Sierra Nevada for helping out with the logistics.......great beer by the way!

[@benbjamun2129]

Man you live a cool life w cool friends. Cheers!

[@thatsaltlife2524]

This is the longest freshwater video I've willingly watched. Your editing and camera angles are on point. Keep up the grind!

[@oshaypeace4687]

Welcome to my home state Greg! I have never fished those mid and upper state lakes..... I fish mostly the Santee-Cooper lakes, Cooper river and the Santee river. Good Luck!

[@bigmac183]

Hats off to Terrance for coordinating the shipping of the kayaks. I've been in the beverage business for 23yrs and I'm sure big red and big blue would not ship anything personal. Hats off Terrance!! Good luck guys!!

[@NickGoesTrucking]

Idk if ive ever been this hyped for a blanchard tourney video! I hope it's a lengthy one! Go get em guys

[@BobbyOfEarth]

Greg's shadow @ 45:45 and 46:35.. is pointing North, to the warmest water on the lake.. good call.

[@lizsmith9948]

I laughed when you said you liked black in trucks. My first Suburban was black; my Tahoe was a dark blue with metallic flake; and my current Rav4 is black. It was interesting to see how you transported your kayak and equipment. I've always wondered how pros did it with tournaments that weren't local! Nice to see Terrence feeling better - nothing more of a drag than being sick during a fishing adventure. Carry on! 😊

[@tlashley]

Good lord! Mike shitting his pants and saying “ had to check my Terrence” 😂😂😂 You’re gonna have to put a GoPro in Mikes Hobie so we can all keep laughing! Good stuff as always Greg!

[@alexmay3659]

I'm just about 2 minutes into this video and I got to scream it... SLAYER!!! Lol. Love the videos! Keep em coming...

[@mikeensign1616]

Slayer woooooooooo🤘🏾

[@hohman698]

By far one of my favorite videos you’ve made. And that’s not just because you are in my hometown. Thanks for the great videos!

[@reidbosco275]

Chevy came in clutch

[@BiggLess76]

Bro! You guys are fishing my home lake. I live 6 miles away from the Pearl Mill boat ramp that you guys launched from! Awesome!!

[@yakingvet]

i was glad to see you cash a check man! that lake was tough.

[@bryanhenry7551]

Best of luck with the tournament gents. Hopefully you guys kill it

You have a good life Greg. Fishing and friends. Doesn’t get much better than that.

[@moneybagskt3807]

Been away for the last few weeks snowboarding I’m so stoked to relax and watch while I get ready for some fishing! It’s so cool to see you in and around my area one of these days I’ll run into you!💯 now I gotta watch these tournament videos🔥💪🏼

Paused the video half way through just to say, this is bad ass GB! Living vicariously as usual. Thanks for sharing!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you!

[@rafabonati7757]

I am only halfway through the video and I can say that this is a great one. Documenting this epic journey was fantastic.

[@dennisadams7369]

It was great meeting you there during practice. Thanks for taking the time out to say hey.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Good to chat with ya man!

[@hawjfamily321]

What an amazing video. I loved all of it. Everything from the mike commentary to the Terrance badge. Lol. Great editing Greg.

[@sirgoul5609]

Again you guys brought me to this kind of fishing … it’s not that easy to learn and it’s not that big thing over here in Europe but it’s worth it. Thx for sharing all of this and all the best for the tournament

[@travisbruno1988]

Thanks for everything you do for your KZbin family Greg and friends. Your channel is one of my favorites its great seeing the reality and fun involved with the kayak tourney life. God Bless all you guys im always rooting for you guys to win and stay safe doing it. Tight lines🎣🐟

[@Fishy-Nick]

These tournament vlogs are so incredible and my favorite videos to watch! Keep up the amazing work!

[@omarmunoz9469]

Has a local kayak angler of SC, I think it’s awesome seeing you breaking down our local lake! Keep up the good work.

[@mitchelrhodes5074]

Absolutely the best video ever brother. Keep it up!!!

Terence I feel for you man. I live in the philippines stomach ailments are common here always carry the Imodium. I miss Bass fishing. Great video.

[@MarcoGarcia-re3mk]

Love these vlog style vids

[@jensfishing943]

What an epic journey. Greg and his crew are at it again. You guys are all so great together. It’s fun to watch. An hour went by like nothing.

[@Fishingbayarea]

what?!?!? sierra nevada and kayak together. greg’s dream comes true.

[@woodvibes1869]

Awesome video man! Been watching since the start of the channel! The videos are such good quality I really like the addition of the human element showing the behind the scenes stuff.

[@scottkessler9602]

I’m glad you did the Chevy walk through with all of the gear in it. I would not have thought that you could fit 7 foot rods in the front cab!!!

[@paulmudd9809]

I've been a follower for a long time Greg, that's so awesome of Chevy to hook you guys up with a half ton duramax! The Carolina's are beautiful country, I say this for everyone, we can't wait for the next video!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Paul! We had a great time and it was some really beautiful scenery. Going up through the rockies was cool when we went to Mills River

[@proambass8027]

Man what a life!!! Great video man, loved it.

[@dangerfield85]

Ice out here in the next few weeks and this is usually the time I devour an absolute ton of your videos gearing up for bass opener.

[@lowellknapp]

Really enjoyed this video. Glad Mike and Terence were able to join you. Great seeing the whole experience. I won’t lie… I’m more than a little envious! Can’t wait for the tourney video.

[@thatfishingnoob]

Man those J’s look sick lol. Great longer video sir. Thanks for taking us on the adventure with you and the crew. It’s like we’re with there with y’all lol. Glad day two went better for you. Hopefully that pattern held for tournament days.

[@dbolt2w]

Good luck in the tournament greg hopefully you slay em’!

[@mdepeel1]

What a video! You and Mike are a blast to watch (Terence too)! Looking forward to seeing you on stage in the next video 👍

[@BASSnBEER]

Ready to see that tournament vid......Had a couple local guys walk the stage as well!!!! That was bad ass them shipping the yaks and stuff for you guys!!!

[@jaecubed592]

Been waiting for this since the last video.... Time to make a coffee and some eggs and enjoy the video.

[@B1GE2]

You guys make me excited to go fishing.

[@freeagentangler5159]

Greg, your videos are outstanding. I love you you are able to add music to each part of your video that really shows the mood of that moment. Mike did an awesome job as well in capturing the right angles and frames. Top notch video that was so entertaining, it felt like 20 minutes instead of 55.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Luis! appreciate it sir

[@oldguyriders]

Interesting video portraying the back scenes of being a professional fisherman. Must be a thankless job having to drink beer every single night, I don’t know how you do it.

[@mcdrmtt]

This long form video was awesome. SO MUCH CONTENT. SO MUCH TO ENJOY!

Great job down there, dude! 👊

Always enjoy seeing you guys in your natural habitat. Your friends are hilarious. This trip is pretty awesome, looks like a lot of things had to come together to make it work. Can't wait for the tourney video.

I would try lizard baits. And definitely spinner baits.
