GREG,,,,YOU ROCK !! ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE DELTA...BUT SHE'S STILL BEAUTIFUL. TIGHT LINES !!

[@gabescoffield]

Fishing personified!! One day bad the next great. You can never really predict the success you will have

[@gabescoffield]

Love you Greg keep giving NY anglers a BIG name! Up the Empire State!!!

Good morning Greg! When that toad welled up, I was helping from the couch lol. Congrats!

TOAD!!!!!!!! Hell yeah now I’m going fishing tomorrow

[@surfy4959]

Nice toad!!! Great video! Miss the Delta.

[@ohellz510]

Friday's inspiration, LFG! Nothing like GB in the am.

[@robertxiong1303]

I think this was the day i bumped in to you out there. Glad to see the big fish you caught. Awesome job! Hope to seeya again soon

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

yessir! good to meet you man, hope ya got on some fish

[@devdewboy]

In-N-Out is a treat for success not only for skunks. Come to think of it, anytime we're able to get on the water is a success!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

yessir! fishing can be tough sometimes but always enjoy the time out there

[@fun6243]

Do u ever go over the drop (the steep drops that are in the delta) and drop a jig? You gotta find a nice drop and jig somthing that will move up and down not side to side. You can bait the jig as well. I find it a nice switch when it's warm you never know what you'll pick up from bass, big catfish, even sturgeon. Have a blast.

[@lizsmith9948]

YEEHAW I'm so glad you brought your net this time for your PB fish. What a monster toad! Congrats Gregg 👍👍👍 As always, thanks for showcasing the Delta. I continue taking notes on lures and techniques to he!p get fish into the boat. Continue to have fun and stay safe out there. 😊

[@kerrypitt9789]

Greg I've looked at charts for the Delta and the different things that may affect the fishing! You have a spider web of waterways to deal with and i can see it will be a challenge at least at times. I think maintaining your focus is what has to be done, just as you found that female after sorting through those little fish. I hope your tournament goes well and you find those big females.

[@sandybowers5085]

I’ve never seen a bass that big 😱Great video as always, Greg!

[@gabescoffield]

YES!!!! So happy for you Greg! You are too good of a fisherman to NOT put that biggen in the yak 😆 nice job bro!

[@the_reel_cam2919]

Great opening. I loved that hookset montage.

Thanks for another great video Greg,just seeing you land that big one AWESOME.

[@FishingThePNW]

Never seen a small bass hit so hard that it makes the braid screech before you even set the hook lol

[@jeufuyang6261]

Was just out there today, where I was at had so much debris! Wish it was cleaner water like where u fished at. Guess need to find a new launch. Great catch! Hoping I land on a biggin soon as well

[@michaelhomdus4945]

Another great fishing day Greg. That big fish was killer,,, I'll get my chance, just gotta keep my eyes open. Thanks for another great video.

[@darenhayes7506]

Lovei this video...your all around literally where I live...it's good to see you take care of the fish!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you sir! For sure, trying to improve in getting bigger class fish back in the water asap

As always great video your commentary on your videos sets you apart from the rest love it

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg what a fish bro!! I thought it was another 13" fish, until it started to fight near the boat. That was awesome, good luck in the tournament. Love the Delta Tournaments. 💯 🎣 🛶 🌊

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha thanks man, right there with ya - I thought it was like a 3-4 pounders until I went to grab it out of the net haha

[@Rodrig1]

Nice tank Greg!

Thanks Greg, nice fish!

Great day pre fishing, Greg! It looks like you found my spot! 😂

haha funny thing is I've fish here probably half a dozen times and never really did good until now lol

i wish there were big ones like that where i live, great video Greg!!

Nice one Greg.

[@HawkFishingandOutdoors]

Hell yeah dude, nice tank on the spinnerbait!

[@ron2893]

Good practice and video

[@WestCoastChris138]

Gregory, throw the swim jig around all those tule’s, it’ll slay!!

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

Greg ur videos have made me realize how similar the California delta and the Delaware river are I swear I been experiencing the exact same thing here it seems as if all the big fish just disappeared. I haven't seen a fish over 5lbs this year and not even other people have even yak fisherman I've ran into that have literally wondered same thing but. I think sooner or later they have to come by.

[@adammead8197]

Great day of work bud! Good luck in tourney

The scupper holes?

Lmao "intrusive thoughts" " I wanna throw it at the camera" lmao * throws it at the camera 😂 26:06

Didn’t retie after that 7 Younder! And lost the magic Spinnerbait… dang it! Beautiful Delta monster bass!

[@markphilippsjr]

LFG!!!

[@BobbyOfEarth]

The potential for Giant Florida strain Largemouth, on the Delta is phenomenal. Caught a lot of big bass on blades, but my POB is an 11.4 oz. toady. Caught it fluttering a 5/8 oz. Rod Strainer spinnerbait, on a riprap bank at the back of a large marina, 3 miles north east of Buckley Cove. hint...

[@DonBeighey]

Greg... where about did you launch 🤘

[@mx45774]

Come to Minnesota

[@DonScoralleJr]

Holy smokes... Geez Louise! Greg, beam me up.....

[@Bloodshotistic]

Not too sure of the tournament rules but if you can bring a casting net for the shad as baitfish maybe after the tournament so that you can get some lunkers, that would go crazy!! ❤❤

[@jamesfaudeck540]

Hey Greg, would you mind sharing with me the exact drop-shot worm that you were using the color looks awesome! Thanks again for the vids keep them coming

[@JeremysFishing]

White spinnerbait it is!

[@KONGMYANG89]

Where did you launch at greg. I think I know where that at but not too sure if it’s true. When you went under the bridge we was just on the shore a week ago on shore. We couldn’t go over the bridge so we fish right by the bridge

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

tiki

[@wsonphan80]

Thanks for another banger Greg! Man the Delta has always been tough for me, everywhere looks good to cast! By the way, what knot do you tie? I notice there are two tag ends from you cutting through a loop.

[@PiperFishing]

Gregs one of those guys that catches the winning fish on practice day.

[@sergiomoreno5343]

Greg can you please make a video fishing Eastman Lake.

[@rodneyhaymon1628]

Do you have a blue gill colored spinner bait or bladed jig? I would try that this time of year.

[@MrUCL]

Greg did you re-tie after you caught that 7.5 lb bass. If you didn't and broke off on the next fish that would be bad tournament day. I felt the pain in practice.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

negative and you can bet I retied a whole ton during the tournament!

[@MrUCL]

@GregBlanchardFishing Awesome and thank you for answering

[@K6SUD]

Beautiful bass!! Hey what tide app do you use?? Thx!

no app but like to browse willyweather.com and search tides

Always retie after a big fish... Line stretch, and micro-abrasions of the line.

[@johnnyfountaine]

I cant be the only one who saw the ginormous fish in the water at the left front of the kayak at 22:09???

[@kenestra123]

Do all Native kayaks take in that much water? Might preorder the Titan X, thats why I am asking. Seems there is a good amount that your feet are sloshing around in. Nice action video!

[@bigkat650]

Giant for sure, and it does probably edge out your Otisco largemouth... barely. (The Otisco reaction was WAY better though!)

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha for sure. It's all relative. That Otisco fish is probably 1 in 10,000 where a fish like this on the Delta is 1 in 500 (well maybe more like 1000 this year atleast)

[@bigkat650]

@@GregBlanchardFishing I’ve lived my entire life in the finger lakes area and I’ve never heard of a large mouth that big. We get big brown ones as you well know, but largies over 6 are exceptionally rare, and your reaction to that fish tells that same story.

[@TheDarkHorse949]

Would you be willing to share your knot? Thank you for the inspiration! Im a 55 yo female and I set up a great fishing kayak and I’m going for it!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Awesome! I use the Jimmy houston knot for all straight fluorocarbon applications. I snell my punch rig setup and I use a palomar knot for the drop shot rig.

[@TheDarkHorse949]

@@GregBlanchardFishing ok awesome, I know the palomar , but the other two I will look up and learn. On your videos I always like to the notes to see what line you rig with. Things are starting to make more sense by the day. I come from a fly fishing background so moving into the kayak and the equipment heavy, bass world is both overwhelming and very exciting. I like a challenge. Thank you so much. I live on Lake Murray SC. Hope to see you here competing at some point. Kelly

[@SethVenableFishing]

Good Luck Out there Kelly! It’s an exciting sport! Lake Murray is a Beautiful lake! What an awesome place to learn!

[@TheDarkHorse949]

@@SethVenableFishing Thank you so much. I’ve been in this lake before it had only a handful of homes. My father was a professional angler in the 80’s and as crazy as it sounds, i wasn’t into fishing as a kid, I was into skiing and kneeboarding. In my twenties, I took up fly fishing and was always up in western NC. The rivers are a bit dangerous for me alone at my age, so I decided because of Greg’s inspiration to go for it in the kayak. I’m looking forward to learning these techniques. Happy 4th of July 😊

[@SethVenableFishing]

@@TheDarkHorse949 Happy 4th to you! Fly fishing is something I haven’t spent much time doing… I bet it would be a blast up in the mountains of the Carolinas though! Enjoy the journey of this new kayaking experience!

[@jodyrhea]

i have good luck when i let that spinner bait stall and fall sometimes...also mix up cadence..

[@themallard1515]

Just curious, and I’m sure you’ve answered this many times. But what kind of trolling motor thrust does your kayak have? What battery are you using? And how much run time do you typically get from it? thanks

[@stevehogan8829]

This is my first time watchingi your video's. Great video but wow I'm surprised at the water you're carrying in that kayak. I fish an OldTown 120 so maybe it's just because that is a larger yak. I fish saltwater on the swFL coast.

[@lukepousson6487]

Does that kayak regularly hold that much water in the bottom or is that because of how much equipment is on it?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

If you keep the scuppers in it's a dry ride. I jam around with my motor which kicks up water so I just leave them out and its always draining although it looks like theres a lot more water in there than at least what I notice - maybe i'm used to it

[@ourtimeourspeed]

Hey Greg, first time on the delta coMing up soon. Do I want to be on the delta in high tide, low tide, or a low to high transition? Not trying to get stranded brotha I appreciate any tips!

[@recoil8994]

How fast do you think you could go if you used your motor and pedals at the same time

[@SuperKyang]

What size hook are you using for your dropshot setup, if you don’t mind me asking

[@glennsowacke9752]

What hook and size r you using on your dropshot
