Almost a Very COSTLY day on the Delta

[@christopherfrohardt2392]

Thanks for the videos Greg. Helped motivate me to get back into my passion of Bass Fishing! My 5 year old twin girls are also loving Bass Fishing and are already upgrading fishing poles!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Awesome to hear! Would love to send you guys the prize package to try your luck with. Email me ([e-mail]) your shipping address and I will get it to you asap! Tight lines, -Greg

[@rogergadbois5711]

Congrats!!! Hope you and the girls have fun fishing. 🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@llllll-ux2lz]

Congrats on the package good luck 🍀

[@vincefauriaful]

Just started to get into fishing, found a great spot in the yak, got my “new” anchor system all dialed in, dropped anchor and started fishing, then my anchor was gone... forgot to tie it to the yak 😂

[@davidbeaver1350]

Did that in my John boat

[@maxwellhoward3388]

Talking to a kid about what gear I was using while getting in my yak, went to sit down, missed the seat, rolled into the water in front of the sheriff and everyone at the launch. 🤣🤣🤣. Good luck in Tx, looking forward to the footy!

[@xdsmile3]

Love how there’s still good peoples in the world. Glad they return your items! Bless their heart.

[@Snap-Time]

I think we can all appreciate the gentleman who returned the first lost GoPro to you! More people need to be like him.

[@MrPiptoe]

Glad you got your stuff back and it’s always good to see that we still have some good people in the world.

[@OhKee12]

Best part of waking up - is Greg’s videos, then coffee.

[@douglasbryant4940]

I always forget something in the truck. Just get scatter brained when get to the water. Fished Brannan Island Memorial day weekend. Got into the stripers. Didn't get bit on the whopper plopped. I thought for sure it would be the best bait.

[@davidbeaver1350]

It's cause we're already fishing in our head and the check list don't hey checked. Apparently

[@anonfishing2941]

Nothing beats a top water blowup, especially when you aren't expecting it. GB leaving stuff behind, then decides give stuff away. Humble. Keep up the good stuff. 🎣🎣

[@jamesburgess85]

After a disappointing venture to a rd side creek/pond I left all my Rods along side of the rd the other day... got busy tieing my kayak down and just jumped in my truck and headed to the next spot... got there and realized what I'd done. Raced back and was relieved to find them all right where i left them. Proceeded on to my next spot and had the best day of fishing ive ever had! thanks for the great content. I've received more info and inspiration from your chanel than any other on youtube. Be blessed!

[@gregfukumitsu2712]

Lol. Thought I was the only guys to make those “bonehead” mistakes. At least you found your gear. 😆

[@tommylao2321]

Almost got my ass beat for leaving my brother’s brand new rod at the ramp when I was a kid.

[@bassfishingwithrandy]

A world with no GREG is not a world worth living.....

[@Triberius]

😆I can't say that, I'm a Greg too....

[@justinstotler8305]

My youngest boy is obsessed with your channel now he has me turned on to it as well. We’re fishing a tournament on the 27th of this month and he’s ready, hasn’t stopped talking about it. Keep up the good work, I’m sure there is other young men watching the channel and need a cool guy to look up to. Keep grinding!

[@sportmod11p63]

Ive been a boat guy for years but you and your channel have really opened my eyes to kayak fishing….Truely a great guy with great content. Thanks for all your hard work to bring joy to all of us!

[@dwightcloud2590]

Have been enjoying your videos for a couple of years and since I am 66 I can relate to forgetting stuff. Fishing in North Florida is nothing like the Bass Factory in California but is still fun. I really like the way you are honest about your mistakes and don’t try to cover them up. Thanks for the hours of entertainment and education. Dwight.

[@joecantrell522]

Another great video, Greg! I was fishing on my birthday last year and the bass started schooling around me. I grabbed a rod and pulled out a plopper, cut the other bait off and tied on the plopper - but never fished the knot because I got distracted trying to catch up with the school, turned the rod around and cast the bait off. Watched a fish eat it. Reeled in, tied on the crank bait I had on before, cast it out and caught a nice fish and the school left. I was moving to a new spot and saw the school start up again. I headed over and found my plopper on the way - never caught up to that school again.

[@garyscoop2138]

It’s nice to still have people out there in the community to return anything you lost, good luck in Texas

[@2NB0833]

Love your honesty when you do mess up and that you don’t edit them out. We’ve all been there but don’t admit our mistakes. Best KZbin fishing channel, keep them coming and good luck in Texas!

[@forwardmotiononline]

My most bone headed move was after a tournament one time I leaned 4 of my St Croix rods against the tailgate of my truck, then spaced they were there and backed my truck and trailer down to load my kayak. As I was loading everything up I realized I was missing 4 rods. At that moment my heart sank. I remembered I had leaned them against the back of my truck. I was sure I ran them over. 4 high end St Croix rods destroyed. I was sick! I ran up to where I was parked to find all 4 rods unscathed. They fell perfectly backwards and my truck straddled them. I have no clue how they didn’t fall to the side and get destroyed, but I was thanking my luck stars. Never a good feeling making a bonehead move, but I’m sure most have at some point if they have been fishing long. Love your content! Look forward to each new release. Thanks for sharing with all of us your ups and downs.

[@fishingwithzawi226]

Greg leaving stuff behind seems so calm cool and collected I know for sure I would be freaking out 😂

[@nelsoncha1134]

From pliers to tackle bag and rods I'm always forgetting something. Glad to see you found everything.

[@normevans1846]

Greg, God blessed you to receive your property back. Not to mention it was a blessing, that the Gopro was found by someone that was truly honest and upstanding.

[@dlars10]

What a straight up amazing person that guy was for finding your GoPro and holding onto it in the hopes he found you. Wish you the best on your Texas tournament.

[@CO_Yak_Fishing]

Greg I’ve drove an hour to lake, unloaded kayak, mounted trolling motor, and went to put in rods and realized I left all of them at home. Boater next to me saw my frustration and lent me a casting and spinning setup. Over the years of watching you I have seen you do many honest acts of kindness. Good karma definitely come back around your way.

[@cjballard87]

Greg!!! Local Texan here, im so excited the time has come for u to come down and fish some lakes near me! Everyone has bone head moments. I think its awesome u went back out and finished fishing strong. Keep up the awesome videos and I look forward to see the Texas fishing.

[@alexrugg4797]

I forgot a tackle bag on the boat ramp once, made somebody very happy that day. Good luck in Texas Greg, were pulling for ya

[@BusyBeeLiving]

I hear yah on left and lost gear. Earlier this year my eight year old wanted to get her own tackle box and gear. After trip number two she lost her pliers and unfortunately we fished three lakes that day went back to all and they were gone ☹️. Then a few days later my fish grabbers fell out of my pocket while unhooking a fish and didn’t realize they were gone until I hooked a pike and needed them. Good and bad I lost the pike but walked about a half mile back and found them. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. I always like to think someone that needed it found it and it makes me feel better about it. Thanks for sharing such real and entertaining videos!

[@gabrielt.3492]

Praise God you didn’t loose your GoPro and net. Thanks for the videos. They are encouraging. Blessings!

[@imalwaysbored1111]

Forgot my net in my truck bed. Came back, it was gone. Lesson learned. Got to love Cali. A man's net is worth more than money hahaha. Good luck in Texas! We're rooting for you bud!

[@209bassin8]

Man the sound the reel makes when pulling them out of the weeds on the punch bite is intoxicating

[@weasel1139]

We all forget something! It's natural, you want to get on the water ASAP! I have left the battery for my Garmin, net, two of my best rods leaning against my truck only to realize once I wanted to throw a crankbait.... Ugh!!! At least you are honest enough to show you are just like all of us! Love your videos and feel I am you in reverse..... Born and raised in Sacramento, CA fishing the Delta, Clear Lake, Folsom, Berryessa..... 5 years ago moved to Rochester, NY area fishing the canals and finger lakes.... Your videos make me miss home on the Delta and NorCal but love when you come back to Waterloo, NY Area because you show me new places to fish! :) Take Care and keep showing the truth we all know is out on the water.

[@jeremyduncan9165]

Left my mojo swimbait rod with a brand new Shimano on a dock at Table Rock Lake and thought it flew out of the truck. Got it back a year later from the people that owned the cabins. It was behind the counter when I went to check in. So thankful that there’s still honest people out there. Awesome give away too!!

[@chococivicmw]

That's a matter if someone fish from bank , kayak or boat watch your videos in the morning it's all ways a good way to start A-day 👍🏾 Good job Greg and good luck in Texas.

[@jjurgens22]

We all have those days man! Still the best kayak fishing content on KZbin! Tight lines!

[@Mosey410]

Your not alone man ,I’ve left nets and pliers behind and even been lucky enough to find it the next day. Glad you got your camera back both times

[@chinglingming992]

I always wake up at 4am just to watch your videos. Watching your videos before I’m about to go fishing gets me hyped up! Keep it going🙏

[@samuelbradbury418]

Since I was a child I’ve made bonehead mistakes lol. I seem to loose a rod and reel every couple years always in different fashions lol. Glad you found your net and we’re able to recover your go pros!!

[@jerrydwinell6902]

Really appreciate you authenticity. I’ve left the remote to my Xi3 in the truck before; not even realizing until I’ve launched, deployed and ready to go. Embarrassing paddle back and long walk back to the truck to retrieve. Your videos are part of my weekend routine. Thanks for keeping them coming!

[@gsaucelureco]

Choppo for the win! At least the gentleman was nice enough to return the GoPro. Good luck in Texas

[@vanssells6818]

Glad it all worked out! I’ve forgot paddle, trolling motor steering rod, poles…you name it I’ve forgot it at least once.

[@WPShogs]

Props to the people returning your GoPro. New to fishing and your videos are great. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into them!

[@bradytremarki8678]

The days that start off like that seem to turn into good days with a lot of fish 😂😂😂

[@LukeLookingUp]

That happens to all of us forgetting stuff at times. Glad you got everything back. Good luck in Texas

[@ryanstebbins2490]

Awesome to see there are such kind people still out there! Those Striper got me hungry for fish tacos too!

[@robertwillis4707]

Good video Greg! looked like a lot of fun! Hey we have all had those bone head days, that I promise! Thanks for the opportunity on the drawing!

[@sylvestervue4587]

Greg you the man!! Left my soul at the lake one time, bc it was one of the best fishing days of my life.

[@tonyhellinger7227]

Glad you got everything back and still had a good day on the water. My biggest boneheaded move wasn’t fishing, but I was going hunting and we drove an hour and a half to the camp and realized I forgot my gun!! Hard to hunt without it!!

[@ethanjett7084]

Great video!! I once left all my rods at the ramp while leaving, drove 30 minutes then realized, luckily all rods was still there!!

[@rudymiller6468]

Never a bad day fishing, just some more expensive than others. Still killing it sir.

[@dredayy795]

Refreshing to see that someone else out there sees the passion and joy you share with so many and made sure to return your GoPro!!! #Blessing

[@jamesmeyer7034]

What goes around, comes around. You always treat people well and you got your GoPro back. Not surprising to those that watch regularly.

[@k0re7]

Man, you got lucky getting your stuff back. Good vibes. I always forget stuff, it happens.

[@joshstirling2213]

That strike at the boat was insane! Thanks for showing your faults as well as your triumphs! Great day on the water! 👊🏻

[@carolbattles1111]

So happy that you found your net & Go Pro Greg! Also, so great of someone to get your information last time when they found your GoPro & return it to you! Need to put some reflective tape on it so you can see it in the dark. Definitely your lucky day! Thanks so much for your giveaways! Safe travels to Texas! Tight lines at the tournament! I remember getting to the lake with our tubes & finding out that I forgot to put the fins in the truck! Thankfully, our son had brought his. “Got” to watch our son have a banner day on the water. 🤪

[@lizsmith9948]

Greg, best of luck in Texas! It's a pleasure watching your videos while having my morning coffee. We just had a tournament on the Delta on June 12 -- it was tough! Here are my bonehead moments: (1) forgetting my buggywhips at a friend's house and having to borrow a baitcaster for the day. I was trying not to backlash during crucial moments - hah! (2) Falling into Berryessa in November. I had just parked the trailer and didn't want to keep my husband waiting since the other anglers had already blasted off. Instead of waiting for the Ranger to come alongside horizontally to the dock, I put my boot on the bow. I instantly went into the water, but my right hand grabbed the trolling motor. I edged my way to the back of the boat since we have a ladder. HOWEVER, the ladder is on the OTHER side of the engine - yikes! My husband eventually pulled my sopping butt out of the water and we fished the remainder of the tournament. I wasn't going to ruin his day by quitting and going home. In fact, he won Big Fish that day, plus we saved a mud hen that was tangled in fishing line. Cool :)

[@HouseHusbandAdv]

I’m a ‘KZbin educated’ kayak fisherman (second year of fishing ever) and theres always a lesson learned, thank you and glad it all worked out. PS thanks to your Cayuga videos I had my best tournament ever...7th and 2nd in NYKBF and KAoCNY plus BB..off shore grassy patches with a soft plastic jerk bait on an under spin 👍🏼

[@BackWaterYakin]

When I was younger before I had a kayak I left every pole and all my gear in the back of my pickup after a fishing trip woke up next morning to finally put it away and it was all gone lol learned my lesson.

[@isaiahcheng8923]

Wow, happy you were able to obtain your belongings back. Similar case that happened with me was when I was kayak fishing as well. I was paddling just across the other side of the lake when I accidentally hit my $150 spinning set up out of the water. It sunk in 60 ft deep water. Never saw that combo again sadly. But I didn't let that stop me fishing that day. Thanks for all the content, I love it all!

[@naplesluck]

Left my net numerous times on the bank while trout fishing. Also left quite a few pairs of pliers on the creek or lake. Left my scissors on the bank the other day and didn't feel like walking back so I went and got a new pair lol. Good luck in Texas Greg.

[@hippiebarefoot]

I donated my baitcaster to the Hudson River when I missed my rod holder, ended up being a short day. Nice to see you were able to get your gear back!

[@petermark5323]

Greg, you're too generous. I was in hurry to pack my boat and escape the mosquitoes at dusk that I left my rod rack at the ramp. Luckily, I remembered to grab my rods. Thanks for the videos. I watch every one.

[@juniorstandafer5279]

Wow there is still some good people out there! Glad you got it back! I once took off from the dock in my Jon boat and didn’t realize that I was still tied off to the dock lol!

[@paulpadilla7300]

Hey Greg glad you got your stuff back that shows that there are good people out there includes you!!

[@pinesbaby894]

O my gosh, drinking my morning coffee before work watching your videos and this one Greg, makes me feel better on So MANY Levels!!! I sometimes wonder if I’m losing my mind, yeah launched for a Arkansas River tournament yesterday and forgot my paddle! Had to go back and get it for obvious safety reason. I’m going to have to go get me a Choppo now that was amazing footage. Thank you Sir😎

[@JeremiahVA]

Greg, thanks for the content bro. I recently bought my Native Titan 12 and am trying to learn this bass fishing game.

[@Texarican1]

Least see which of many bonehead things I have left behind sitting on the truck. #1. Drone. Got family on the boat and and decided to leave the drone case on the bed of the truck. #2 fish finder. Kayak fully loaded and lights connected, forgot the fish finder on the floor next to launch. Luckily realized 50ft from launch that it wasn’t there. #3 not fish related. Left my Scotty Cameron putter on number 2, 5, and 15 all in one day after making triple bogies. Subconsciously I wanted to lose it since it didn’t work for me that day. Great video sir. I wish you look in the tournament can’t wait for the tournament video. Be safe.

[@timbrakel1894]

I can relate. Last time out I was weighing a bass and it flopped while on the scale and I lost my grip and it fell back into the water with the scale still attached. Glad to see an honest person getting your camera back to you.

[@shimanoy302]

Speed bump is part of life but is always how you adjust n get back up. Keep grinding.

[@ladyvolfan05]

Hey Greg! You’re the one who inspired me to go fishing in my kayak 😂 first trip with my gear and everything just two weeks ago. My line got stuck on a branch and I leaned over too far and dumped my whole kayak, lost a few baits but got my two poles back😂. But lost my phone! Boneheaded moments happen but they make some good stories! Good luck on the water!

[@kongvue4868]

Man kayak fishing seems so fun and so different from just fishing from shore! love your content glad you were able to get your items back

[@legiox3434]

glad you got your go pro back, it's nice to find out there still are honest people in this world! Good luck in texas.

[@paulheels]

Luuuuckyyyyy!! Those low ass bridges always get me, nothing like the freak of realizing about 5’ too far your about to tear up every rod!

[@jamesschnell4919]

My bone headed move. I went to visit my brother in Tennessee and we decide to rent a boat to go fishing on Kentucky Lake. Launch the boat and cruise several miles from the launch and all of a sudden start having troubles keeping the boat on plane. We're taking on water! We had to get the bilge going and beach the boat so we didn't sink it. Turns out we put the plug into the live well hole vs where the drain plug should've been! Never caught a darn fish that day either haha! Good times and memories.

[@danhixon7806]

Bro your not alone I'm guilty of leaving my net behind on there watery and having to go back and look for it lol thankfully i bought a floating net like yours and was able to find it. Also left 3 rods in back of the truck and took off on the water and was lucky enough to come back to them still in there. We all slip up from time to time. Thank you for continuing to share your experiences on the water.

[@pablopicaso5512]

What a lucky man to get your misplaced stuff back. Good content. Keep it up.

[@kaywimbley6294]

Easily my favorite fishing channel on KZbin! Thx for the inspiration and entertainment :)

[@rahsaanmorgan3189]

I like watching your videos because I just starting fishing and there are almost no fishing youtubers from California so watching your channel give me ideas on how to in cali. My bone head move is, I was fishing for crappie and caught around 12-15 slabs and had them on a stringer. I was packing up my gear and walk a little over a mile to my car and when I get my I realized I forgot the fish, I live in fresno and it was around 105 degrees and I walk all way back to my golden crispies. Love you channel.

[@veilside180sx]

I think i’ve left nets & go pro’s behind. The worst leave behind was taking a group of Scouts on a rafting trip. I was taking care of loading up another trailer at the take-out. The Scouts told me all the rods had been loaded in the other trailer. Made the 4 hr drive home only to find out they had left 25 rods (all of which were mine) at the take-out. Thankfully a fabulous and honest shuttle driver had grabbed all of them & I was able to get them all back.

[@thatdudedyll5092]

Get home from a great day on the water just to see another great upload from the man himself. Have a good one in the lone star! 🤠🥃

[@ornametalsmith]

Another great video, Greg! We’ve all had bonehead days….thanks for sharing some of yours. LOVED the part of losing the GoPro, the first time……and the incredible experience of having it returned by a local! Can’t wait for your next vid to drop!

[@clay5725]

I once spent all day installing my landing gear to the kayak. By all day, I mean every-tool-in-the-garage all day. Got it done, took the kayak to a near-by lake to give it a test. When I loaded back up to drive home, left the wheels at the ramp. I feel you bro

[@spencerhansen8956]

Me and a buddy were kayak fishing earlier this year. He caught a big bass, weighed it, and then released his scale into the lake instead of the fish. D'OH! Love the videos, Greg!

[@ryancubberly8238]

My favorite youtube fisherman, I look forward to your videos every week. Thanks Greg!

[@marlincarpenter8425]

I can relate to be so excited about getting on to the water. I've left the plug out on my boat before. Lost a favorite rod off the side of the boat because I didn't strap it down. This was one of the funnest videos to watch of yours. I love topwater fishing. One comment, when it gets tough on the water, downsize your bait in those deep clear lakes. Good luck in Texas.

[@alanglowacki6266]

We all leave stuff behind, especially as we get older. Keep up the great work on the videos and good luck in Texas.

[@jenniferellis6593]

Love watching your videos, Greg. Yes, I to have forgotten things or even misplaced things. You are not alone. I am glad you were able to find your net. I am glad your Gpro was where you left it. Good Luck at Texas.

[@davidjhomrich]

Thanks for being transparent Greg! Lost my floating net two weeks ago in some choppy water, went back to find it, and it had blown out of sight… Never found it. And that’s just one of many boneheaded moments for me! This video encourages me for sure

[@sthaooutdoors2971]

Good luck in Texas my good sir! Always enjoy watching you fish. And as always, “ thank you sir “

[@captsuicide3106]

Wow how lucky you got, really nice of that guy to bring your GoPro back to you. I’m so worried I will forget stuff at the truck , I’ve been lucky so far. But I have made it to the lake without my peddle drive before.

[@palmettolife1370]

Great video. Would love to have your luck. Every time I slip up it cost me… phones, Bluetooth remotes, fishing gear, my pride. LOL!

[@ricardo.perezz]

I had a close call with my GoPro once. I suction mounted the GoPro on my boat. After a while it came off and plopped into the water, I dove in for it and luckily I was able to catch it before it got too deep. I would’ve been very bummed out if I would’ve lost it. I’m glad you found your gear!

[@kenappleby8481]

Crazy that you had a mishap of two items in one day. Super awesome you were able to recover both though. Also awesome that you got the GoPro returned from previous occasion of leaving it in the road - good Samaritan! I've left my cell phone on the rolled up part of my truck bed next to the back window and luckily found it 15 miles later still sitting there. Good luck in Texas!

[@mickkhang7389]

Full sendd!!!! I once put my rods and reels in the kayak, got home I couldn't find em the next kayak trip I took some other rods and reels . Got in the middle of the lake found my other setups in the kayak.

[@thomasvang1241]

That was some good memory and remembering where your things went. If it was me then I would've forgotten super bad and probably would have lost some money.

[@kamenfaiz]

Love fishing in the delta. So many places and different kinds of fish.

[@derickbryant964]

Glad you got those back. I’ve tried to leave my paddle in the car but didn’t make it far!! Thanks for the great videos. A bit different than our Florida lakes but fun to watch!!

[@PiperFishing]

Glad you got that GoPro back, what a good guy to recognize you and give it back! I've made it out of the water a couple times while night fishing, only to find out I forget my headlamp\flashlight. Yeah, that sucks. Good luck in Texas!

[@cedmondsII]

We all have those days sometimes, but way to stay positive. Great video!!

[@dakamp]

Launched out of Paradise Point with my kayak this morning to fish the delta for the First time. Referenced some of your old tournament videos in the area for spots to fish around Disappointment Slough. With that and other things I learned from you I managed to land an absolute monster. Just under 24” and had to of been around 10 pounds. My little spring scale bottomed out at 8lb quickly with this girl on her. Would love to send you the pictures and videos of her she was super impressive. Love your videos and you’re definitely a huge inspiration for me kayak fishing as I just started fishing this year.
