Changes on the California Delta (Big fish of the year)

Continuing to fish the California Delta (not because of the bite) but because we have a big tournament here coming up and the practice/experience is much needed on a seemingly stingy Delta 2023.

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

[@tylerbezaire9453]

Braided violin time ❤ love a punch bite.

[@chrisr1321]

7 on a blade!! Couldn’t ask for anything better!! Good job Greg!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you sir! gotta love a blade bite😎

[@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

[@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.

[@valerieneal2747]

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

Great catch 🐟 From Georgia 😎

Fresh Coffee, fresh GB video, this morning is good indeed! Fun as always Greg!

[@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.

[@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. 😊

Gotta get on the fluke game for sure

May your lines stay tight on tournament days, GB.

[@Jerms84]

White spinnerbait it is!

[@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

[@christucker3160]

Nice one Greg.

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

[@HawkFishingandOutdoors]

Hell yeah dude, nice tank on the spinnerbait!

[@leoncioluquin44]

Good morning guys.........coffee and donuts..

[@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.

[@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...

Damn, that one that broke you off looked like you swung on something serious! I could here your mind saying why TF did I not re-tie. Beautiful fish. Good luck on tournament day.

[@markphilippsjr]

LFG!!!

[@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???

[@msorsky1]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@xNevlosx]

I know you like throwing a Senko, and you should keep throwing it but, you really should through a 7 inch instead and you'll see more of those big bass.

[@chasinggorditas1387]

☕️ 😎

[@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.

[@the.johngarcia]

Can you make a video of your current rod setups, your favorite lures/baits?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Coming on up! Did one recently and will go live on the channel 7/11 though I try to list/link all relative gear in the description

[@the.johngarcia]

@GregBlanchardFishing me and my father in law love watching your videos, you inspired me to go out and get a kayak to do some delta and lake fishing too! Keep up the amazing work!

[@ArizonaPondPickles]

Every video I've seen weighed on water the scale bounces, no wonder they don't count it on records.

[@DonBeighey]

Greg... where about did you launch 🤘

[@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

[@jodyrhea]

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

[@bobbyswain7049]

Nice fish.....Im still wondering what the holes in the bottom of the yak are for....seems to let a lot of water in.....Nicely done sir

[@actually3641]

The scupper holes?

[@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

[@KMY1989]

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

[@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!

[@gabescoffield]

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

[@appalachiaanglerMD]

Sierra Nevada sponsor you yet? 😂❤

[@rodneyhaymon1628]

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

[@casiokids91]

This past year here in Cali has been my worst year of fishing…

[@stevec69]

honestly....i thot that fish was way bigger than 7.something pounds dude

[@nathanellis914]

Isn't it hot af there right now? How can you wear that rain gear and not sweat to death?

[@jeffpost7508]

Sea Lions is why there’s not as many big ones. Plain and simple!!!

[@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
