Hands down my favorite content on KZbin right now. You're humble, love the tournaments, the pre-fish, the struggles and the success. Keep the fantastic content coming!

[@joshkeith6084]

Hands down my favorite fisherman on the tube man and I'm not just saying that because frankly you don't know me lol. You're humble, respectful and seem to be a genuine person. Great ambassador to the sport GB. Mad props from Norman, OK!

[@adamcawthon]

100% agree.

[@agiantcub8it542]

Definitely agree just found him. I love stand up guys that are fun to watch. Bonus that he’s from NorCal!! Philosophy D and Matt from Fisherman’s Life as well as Taku on the Outdoor Chef Life. All from NorCal and super chill fishing content. Appreciate the content and really reallllly good editing!!! Hope your channel blows up like Fisherman’s Life!!!

[@vibesdasher]

and he doesn't spoil if we wins or not in the title

[@curtismajeskie3419]

I totally agree, I just started getting into watching these types of videos, started with 1rod1reel, then youtube started having me watch milliken fishing, the bam greg blanchard. Love the yak, hate your luck tho. Bad prefishing but usually at least 1 good day at tournies. Never fished one before but if I do I am praying for the Blanchard luck!

[@joegoodman9309]

Congratulations! Great video. Thanks for sending our Merch out so quickly. My boys loved the shirts we got!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

You bet Joe, Thanks for the business! Glad they like them!

[@jesseperez889]

Always a treat to watch your videos, thanks Greg!!!

[@absolutedion7318]

Nice video. I have been catching up on your videos. I love them. Keep them coming. I fish from a boat when i'm not in the streams, but watching how much fun you have in the yak makes me want to yak fish one day. Now i just have to convince the wife that fishing from a yak is different from a boat. Wish me luck

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha, Good look man!

[@wgb925]

Hell of a job! Great video! Congratulations Greg!

[@bmiller8255]

Great finish Greg!! 3rd is not bad. Your definitely a consistent fisherman. Keep it up and good luck on the next one.

[@deonnawilliams4903]

[@briansiphavong1]

Nice Greg! Congrats on the 3rd place finish. Watching both of your videos makes me want to take that trip up north and give Clear Lake a go.

[@seanmanson2125]

Congrats Greg and mike! #beastmode 🤙🏼

[@grhodes3536]

Thanks good video. Froging and punching was working for me too last week.

[@bbowen4629]

Wish I could fish with you. I could learn alot, I'm looking to get into kayak fishing. I have learned alot from your videos. Thank you for such quality videos.

[@F1Hopeful]

Excellent. Congratulations and a thousand thank you’s for sharing!!! Made my Friday morning Greg. Hope you wrecked them at the Hobie Tourney. I won’t cheat and look for results. Stay healthy!!

[@georgebrewster7861]

Congrats on the 3rd place finish. Lot of people would of got spun out but you kept your head in the game and never gave up and finished strong. WTG. Tight Lines.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks George!

[@richardlovett5187]

Hey Greg CONGRATULATIONS on your third place finish keep up the great work you really make me want to get a kayak but i am pushing 300 lbs so that is out but i love your videos.

[@ayybeefishinnatx2680]

So damn close bro!!! Congrats though!! Keep up the sick videos. Enjoy starting the day off with one of your videos. don’t get to finish them right away bc or work. But I do finish them when I get off. Thanks.! Cant wait for the next.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

[@OldLadyAngler]

Well done. Congrats.

[@alexpark3420]

What a freaking series. Best hour I’ve spent in a long time, huge congrats brother

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks for tuning in Alex!

[@firefighter8788]

Can’t wait for the next one. Been waiting on KZbin just to see the finish.

[@agiantcub8it542]

I’ve been wanting to try a frog. New to the Delta. All the videos I’ve watched say you’re supposed to pause for a second or two to help with the hook up. Noticed a few misses there. Hope you get your big’n!!! Tight lines man!

[@timisoutdoors]

Motivation for me to get my butt out there tomorrow morning. Great job, as always, Greg!

[@matto5830]

Congrats! Great tournament. Love the frog bite.

[@Henfishitydog]

Yow! Congrats to Mike on the big bag and big finish!

[@cc-ty3gg]

Awesome video...thats some good fishing, staying positive is definitely a good thing...be well, look forward to the next one..

[@tommycapps9903]

[@jeffw3776]

Great job Greg! As usual I learned a lot. Sooooooo close. Thanks Again

[@derekblanchard4]

Soild tournament Greg...fun watching your tourney videos, thanks for a great vid... Tightlines bro...

[@maxescamilla4597]

Great job Greg! Man I could feel the frustration losing those fish but you hung in and ended up in a good position. Way to grind it out! 👊

[@citylimitsbassin]

Man your videos are addicting GB, best tuber i sub to by far.

[@charlieswimbait707]

Ensign with the massive day two bag!! 😳

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Friggin Mike catchin a 24"" fish!

[@joshua6381]

That smoke is helping out with that top water bite !🐸

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha thats the truth!

[@jorgesanchez8658]

Been looking forward to this! Greg you have great quality videos with plenty of great info on fishing!

[@kilotango7164]

That was badass bro. 3rd place is amazing. Big bass.

[@kilotango7164]

Would it have been within the rules to have added a treble hook to the end of the frog? Just wondering

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

@@kilotango7164 Thanks man! Yep, as long as there are no more than 3 hooks per CA law

[@garyschmidt8360]

Good job man congratulations!

[@dashermike3207]

Nice Greg! You did great! I will take 3rd any day!

[@garylukas3476]

Obie the younder slayer. Madnificent his boy doing pretty well this year !!

[@sonnycalzone7784]

That older gentleman is cool AF bass lifer !!!

[@edgarashford2283]

Better luck next time Greg, 👍👌🎣.

[@dacks14]

We are getting caught up on your Tourny Videos, The wife and I like your style. She just bought a Native Slayer and might join up the KBF. keep it up and good hooking

[@JenkinsB]

Dark Horse Crew representing! Where the F was Mike E anyway?!?!

[@anthonyruffin3619]

Great video as always couldn’t wait to see day 2 Man U made a run at it good fishing

[@kikstand2011]

Congrats! Great tourney!

[@aarondavis8224]

Love the tournament vids. I cant wait for my new Yak to get here so I can try my luck.

[@TL-il1mx]

Wow Greg, this was an awesome tournament series to watch. Thanks for sharing. Haven't seen u use a teckel sprinker frog in awhile, they kill down here in Florida.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks man! I got a few but left them back home, I bet those could've done some damage though during this tournament! Apparently there was a good buzzbait bite at times!

[@LillyLegacyWWOD]

Dude, you are trying to give me a heart attack not netting those fish lol

[@justFLfishing]

Open those hooks up when you are fishing open water like that. It will increase the hook up ratio on those frog fish a whole lot.

[@ronwallace7563]

Congrats man!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Ron!

[@shawnnaylor482]

congrats!!!!

[@fishingwithjett5373]

Great job! You'll get the next one.

[@yeahman1756]

Bro i hit bass big mouth like the ones you caught @1:15 on the next lake "indian valley reservoir" all day back to back.. Come out during end of feb to april... HOT CAKES!

[@Charactermatters650]

Thanks Man - great to watch from back east - I always enjoy your vids - kayak guys are a different bread (Just watching Mike E and his Sponge Bob square bill, love cameo, was gold). Time to get back out on my Old Town PDF. Good inspiration for a boomer like me.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Jim!

[@TheJacobb46]

I have to come to Cali to fish clear lake this place is a fish factory 😎 amazing job dad keep it up

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Come on out, it's worth it!!

[@zachharris1021]

Love watching you videos Greg, been following your for many years now. You inspired me to go out and buy a kayak. If you don’t mind me asking where did you launch at? I’m thinking about hitting Clearlake next weekend.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Zach, Lake county park

[@30minforasn]

Just curious. If your not a born lefty why not use a left hand retrieve? Seems so awkward throwing with the right hand then switching to the left hand. So why not just use a left hand retrieve rod?

[@AM-we6en]

Hey Greg, I was wondering if you know of any kayak only launch spots along the delta?? I’m trying to avoid bigger ramp traffic. Thanks for another entertaining video.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

tiki lagoon usually doesn't have a lot of boat traffic

[@GhostTownBluesBand1]

what phone tether are you using there boss!? I'm loving your content. I got a johnny boat bass 100 and am hooked with fishing

[@basswhisperer5251]

Hey Greg idk if you ever fished Eastman lake, Eastman is low rn but idk if you want to to fish it went there a couple days ago and caught some bass there are also some tanks too but it’s hard to catch them biting off dropshot and senkos Texas rigged

[@pelagicprincesses6123]

Going to win in it one year!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

one of these years (maybe lol)

[@bankmaster5104]

12:34 always a struggle when you get a big one lol

[@stephenlukovich9648]

Gotta sharpen the pad crasher hooks specially after a few big fish

[@dylanschannel6275]

Congrats Greg! Those biggins were chewing on those baits.

[@fishingpro950]

Great Video! Regarts from Germany

[@fidangyang1995]

Hold your reels like a ball. Basically, palm your reels when u set the hook. You'll have more power n control of your rod/reel when u set the hook. Also, next time when a bass blows up on your frog don't set the hook right away. Instead reel in your line until u feel tension from the fish then set the hook. You'll miss less fish on the frog with this technique.

[@vanillagorilla8197]

NICE JOB FROM N.Y

[@shaadupp1]

Dig ur vids been watching for a bit. No disrespect or anything just think u using a right handed reel for ur frogging is hurting ur hook set. Thanks for all the content look forward to watching what u put out next.

[@newmennium]

Great content, thought you might win this one!!

[@davidmelendez4729]

It’s gotta be tough to chum up with your competitors. I think it’s a bad idea for personal success. I’m impressed at how you’re able to manage that aspect of fishing. I definitely struggle with the social part of it all. One thing is for sure it’s a hindrance I my success. On the other side of the coin it’s crucial to learning to see other styles of fishing. Live and learn...

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

It's definitely a fine balance but posting videos is the bigger challenge when it comes to tournament competition. Either way I love posting and sharing content so that won't change fishing local stuff or big national events

[@davidmelendez4729]

Greg Blanchard that seems so seamless as well. Amazing work! Best to you in the future. You’ve been an inspiration and I appreciate the footage. #quechingon/whatabadass

[@pureexile9625]

Set the hook on those weeds lol I’ve been there

[@Thumpaholic]

25:05 = deer in the backyard

[@qaibthai8996]

it's a spiritual frog.... make no mistake.

[@manuelespinoza2443]

Men you're good 👍

[@stevenlee5049]

You should try a whopper plopper its how i caught my 8 pounder there! But love the vids man keep it up👍🏻

[@fishing_gimiks_az]

...hook em' hard....good luck...

[@paufishing3782]

Just finished watching day one! Saving this one for later. Keep it up man, you’re one of the only kayak you tubers I consistently watch.

[@timisoutdoors]

Agreed!

[@cheenoulee7455]

Check out NDYakAngler. You won’t be disappointed

[@agiantcub8it542]

Cheenou Lee totally agree. He’s 💯. I found RoKKiT Kit he’s out of Australia. His trolling is cool to watch as well as spear fishing on islands off his local coast.

[@stevenlee5049]

You should try a whopper plopper its how i caught my 8 pounder there! But love the vids man keep it up👍🏻

[@lorenzotunek7795]

You have me watching this like its the superbowl.."stay on you da** fish"

[@timisoutdoors]

Right!?

[@YakNZakFishing]

"I almost didn't bring the frog" Crazy guy lol. Glad you did!! Congrats on the finish brotha!!

[@Negative--10-90]

Came for the fishing, stayed for the hook sets!! Great videos

[@Bowhunt]

Congrats Greg! You’re so consistent, love watching you put the beat down on these tournaments

[@TODDWOODS]

Greg, Awesome content!!! after watching your second video looks like youre using a snell knot. But your punch hook is way too small. 4/0vor 5/0 should do the trick. Also I heard you ran into my buddy Timmy D. JM2C

[@glenndaugherity6187]

I know it’s a video but I myself have always thought you fish to fast during a tournament especially early in the morning. But that happens to a lot of guys. The excitement is the killer. You did awesome Greg great job !!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Glenn!

[@OhKee12]

Sierra Pale Ale, is the Kayak Fisherman’s White Claw equivalent. 🤣🤣

[@adamcawthon]

White Claw tastes like youre drinking hair spray while someone yells the name of a fruit from a different room.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha come on now!

[@MtnStew_]

I've been waiting for this for a few days now. Just enough time to watch before work.

[@colinsutton7396]

So close Mike!!!!!!!! Ur time is coming!!! Congrats Greg. Always Looking forward to the next one!!!

[@BassXman]

Man, Greg, what a wild ride that was, I felt every loss and every gain you had on this tourney man, keep up the great work!

[@Spacecadet0730]

Nice placement man! Mike crushed it the second day

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Nice to see O.

[@joaquinpasillas3736]

Vids are more entertaining than Netflix

[@poststalone1496]

You let mike beat you? Lmao great finish. I don’t know how well you know him, but I’d love to see a collaboration with Damien Thao. I used to only fish for trout but some of his videos of catching 10+ younders at the local ponds motivated me to get into bass fishing.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Mike pulled out a 97'' bag on day 2 that stinker haha. That'd be epic, I need Damian to teach me how to catch the giants he seemingly always gets!

[@gerlor9425]

I second the collaboration with Damian

[@vangboi91]

Congrats greg & mike!

[@TheSilverstonedwolf]

I use a slx dc with the matching rod in 7'2 heavy fast action. I used to use a 7'6 heavy moderate fast. From hookspit literally called the punch haha. But my punch game at caddo weak

[@HookEmHeavy707]

Jherv! #8

[@YFZMoto]

Man those are some Seat Breaking Hook Sets LOL your going to need to Double up you seat straps. Great Day of fishing again you never disappoint.

[@KOPPESCHAAR1]

I am a very simple man.. I see a Greg video and I click.

[@fishingwithbdawg3620]

Man 3rd place is in the money great job.

[@vhaanlen1]

The people’s champ makes an appearance

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Man if I lived close to you guys I think I would fit right in with all you guys drinking and cutting up and fishing fun. It looks like you have a really great time getting together like you all do. The beginning of the video was making me thirsty for those beers you all always are drinking. 😂🙂

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha, that was a beer and fishing filled weekend no doubt

[@samuelwarden6285]

I've been waiting for this one all week. After the way day 1 went I was excited for day 2. That definitely looked like a really fun bite you were on. I know if I got on a bite like that just fun fishing it would be for sure. 👊👍

[@NubsDaShooter]

You were on the bigs ones I wish I could catch em like you ✊🏿

[@blacksheepfishing1064]

did any one else see the doe in the back ground at 25:07 it was straying right at him
