Fall Bass Fishing Clear Lake, CA (Benefit Tournament)

[@AlexanderBronskyFishing]

Greg is a breath of fresh air. Too many youtubers trying to be like the googan squad with all the challenges, vlogs, and bullshit. Just give me the fishing, and greg delivers!

[@MrHardcoregamerLP]

Honestly agree so so much

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you sir! I've done some "challenges" in the past but they've always annoyed me. I just want to fish and catch them on whatever they want that day.

Now only if the fishin was a good as Damian tao.. hahaha 100% kidding man gregs one heck of a fisherman and awesome KZbiner

Love seeing keto becoming more and more popular. It's saved my life. 125 lbs down and counting!

[@michaelsanchez3659]

Man, this video just stood out to me with the sheer number of small video cuts to cover as much as possible and make the video as smooth as possible! The editing does not go unnoticed!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Michael!

[@BobbyOfEarth]

I fished tournaments for 15 years here in No. Cal. (won a Basscat boat in 2000 at Clearlake) and I'm glad to see the days of our egos standing at the weigh tanks, stressing the fish, are becoming a thing of the past. Using a uniform measuring board and photos, is a unique way to score a bass tournament while protecting the fishery. Good job guys..

[@a_j_ramirez]

Good hangin out this past weekend. Anytime I’m cookin you’re always welcome my dude.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

You too, AJ! Super generous of you to cook for us all that weekend and damn, so good! I think that breakfast burrito saved my life on tourney day after not getting a bite all morning lol. see ya at the next one man

[@JiG.ADDiCT]

Gotta Love them Glide Bait Fish, they hit those glides so different from any other lure 🤙🏽

[@valenor916]

Dude no lie your videos are like therapy bro. I look forward to every upload, thank you!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you sir! I know the feeling and watch a lot of YT fishing as a way to relax

[@jamescanady3442]

So this was a bit of a deja-vu, but I was scrolling through one of my external hard drives, trying to pick out a movie or show to put on while I start cleaning the house a bit. Everything was a turn off and just discouraged me. I was scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and got the idea that maybe, just maaaaaaaaybe, Greg or NDYakAngler would have a new upload. I checked my phone and here it was. Perfect way to start this off.

[@brucepreston3927]

I really believe you have one of the best bass fishing channels on youtube! I love the way you edit your videos and the way you explain everything! I get tired of watching everyone else do those stupid walmart challenges and stuff...Your videos are very clean and straight forward with no clickbait crap...Thank you!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Bruce. Means a lot. Trying to just show what happens each day without getting too crazy.

[@jensfishing943]

So many good Greg quotes…. It’s like a Christmas miracle…. I’m a crank baiter…. I know, I know your all yelling at me for forgetting the net….. Fun PM drop surprise. We watched it after dinner. Great content Greg 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jcann9632]

Well done👍🍻 4th aint half bad considering the small gap between 1st and 4th. Good to see you using your popularity to bring a bit more attention to these smaller events. Wow🤯 Family ran event and a young man at that!🤯🤯 A fathers dream. Friggin AWESOME!!🤘🤘

[@steflau-chen737]

Great video! This is only the 2nd fishing video I have ever watched. I enjoyed watching it and learned a ton! Thanks for covering my friend, Dean, and the tournament. My daughter also has food allergies and this is a great cause.. So cool. I loved learning about how you used the technology, seeing what types of gear you used, and what it was like to catch fish that way and measure them for the tournament.

[@shermanthefisherman5535]

Glad to see some tournaments out there for charities. Good deal. Let me know if there are any on the Delta and I will join the fun.

[@nomadhomad3685]

Good ol Clearlake. Been thinking of making the drive south for some bass action and give the Humboldt Red Tails a break lol

[@timlawrence7246]

That stretch of water has produced a few 30lb limits for me. Just found they were feeding in packs coming in and out of their. Put the spot lock on and chuck and wind for 6 hours. Off the hook spots there. With the same weather you had. 🤘🏻

[@coltmcmahan3559]

The best fishing content on KZbin! Keep doing your thing.

[@ryanstebbins2490]

Glad you got the skunk outta your boat and found them! Although, In-and-Out Burger sounds pretty good right now!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

yes indeed!

[@BassandFurious]

just subbed to Dean. man what a day, a good crankbait bite is pretty insane!! nice work!

[@colemangeater2536]

Good to see young kids getting into fishing! I hope my daughter does when she is old enough.. awesome video

[@snopuncx15]

Best fishing KZbinr out there, love watching your videos. Keep it up! I watch you on primetime instead of the NFL game!

[@CarolinaAnglingCo]

That was a killer video! And what a tournament! You did pretty darn good Greg! I enjoyed every second of it.

[@kobietinsley5812]

Time and time again my favorite kayak fisherman. Everything top to bottom love the vids good job Greg👍🏾👏🏾🔥

[@joshhamilton4482]

I remember my first crank bait bass. It was southern California, crystal clear water in January. I caught a 3 1/2 pounder at the beginning of the morning and didn't get another on until 3 ish and it jumped and threw the hook. I didn't know about the dropping the rod into the water back then.

[@joel9318]

“This is how the professional’s do it “ bro you are the professional’s ! LOL

[@MrEbmanii]

love that slow motion on the bass jumps! haha. scares me that you're gonna lose it every time. Great content, loved seeing the grind to find what they were biting on and after finding that crushin them!

[@stacenhartland9777]

Nice bag Greg! Awesome on the youngster brining it all together!

[@F1Hopeful]

Thanks Greg. The CRANKERATOR!!!!!

[@Manwhosays]

Calm and collective in the tournament. Nice work.

[@BASSnBEER]

Love the Berkley Frittside.... Won a B.A.S.S NATION event on Cherokee Lake here in East TN with that crankbait....

[@christophermay4986]

Awesome work Greg, glad you figured out the right and went work, way to finish strong, love the vids please keepem coming, I always learn something form'em 👍

[@DK_FISH]

Wish there was more drone shots at the house(darn neighbors haha) That Airbnb had an amazing view🔥

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha, "Get that thing out of the air". fun times man!

[@RaymondPoston]

I love your positive attitude during a tournament. That alone makes all the difference in success or failure. Keep it up my friend. I'd love top go fishing with you someday.

[@weasel1139]

'Oh look there's grass over here..." I am talking to my screen..... "Greg, Pay attention!" seems whenever you are distracted a monster attacks your lure. Happens to all of us, I swear. :)

[@myy29]

i enjoy this BassCast more than any other fishing podcast and its now in my top three thing to watch on ALL media. your talent for presenting this content is undeniable. please keep it up. I recently bought a kayak and returned to bass fishing after a long time of power boat and salt water fishing, all based on watching you fish. Tight lines! Your Fan in Florida.

[@TimHaunFishing]

That cat was HUGE! And watching those birds eat the bait in person must of been wild. "It's a Christmas miracle, minus the miracle." XD

[@adamjohnson5243]

Amazing video brother. Always great content. Ordered some shirts and they arrived pretty quick, love them. I appreciate your time and knowledge behind fishing. Thank you Greg.

[@mitchelrhodes5074]

I'll say it again and again you are the best guy and bass fisherman to watch on KZbin!! Thanks for sharing another great video 👊

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Mitchel!

[@hawjfamily321]

Awesome editing. Gosh I wish I could be fishing right now.

[@scottsime5197]

Glad to see another clear lake tournament not another video of just topwater frog bites. Something different..good day catching them.

Sneaking in a night video!! 🔥 🎣 🔥🎣 lovin it!!!

[@kentcarmack5879]

I love that on the west coast fishing with 20 pound test is like fishing with rope. Back in 95 i was fishing a pro am at folsom lake with 6 pound test. I was in high-school and we placed top 5 on just fish i caught. Was a fun weekend

[@Hi-im6yd]

Love the videos. Definitely keeps me inspired to keep pushing through. Thank u

[@Trentwebbfishing]

Fritz side 7 ain’t no joke. One of my favorite cranks. Get a plug knocker and save your baits.

[@lizsmith9948]

That one bass scared me when you mentioned there's grass LOL! Glad you didn't get skunked after so many hours on the water. Yeah, I was looking for your net during practice 😂 Good luck!

[@officialeleclan]

#4 man great job and lots of fun, appreciate you bringing us along!

[@theswampernation6265]

Shine glide has a place in my heart forever it started my insane addiction for swimbaits. It can catch numbers and biggs has its flaws tho compared to a 200$ Bait the swim is pretty close tho never thought i would be a guy to drop money on a bait but man that shine glide has opened my eyes to targeting bigger fish i now own way to many expensive baits but they all get bit when the cheaper ones dont! keep throwing that glide around grass in the summer you will be surprised! keep up the killer content Greg!

[@xmarkedx]

Lol same but my gateway drug was the ol s waiver....I never imagined I would be dumb enough to throw 150 dollar chad shads now 🤦‍♂️

[@stoneysdead689]

Dome of the inexpensive ones are good baits imo- the shine glide, the arashi glide, the sneaky pete or pistol pete, the gantarel, and the s-waver 168 and 200- all good baits imo. Now the big wide gliding open water baits I agree- you just about have to spend some money here, but I don't fish this style. I fish smaller cover glides like the ones I listed- tighter action but more responsive.

[@OptimizedOutdoors]

Long day of work and my phone dings.... BUT IT ISN'T BUSINESS!!!! IT'S GREG BLANCHARD!!!!!!!

[@MY-kv9cu]

Another great tournament video! Just a bit of constructive criticism but I actually prefer the old style tournament total inches caught format - the one in the corner when you get an upgrade or cull. It was a little larger, had better contrast, and was easier to read. Thanks for all the awesome content you consistently put out. Your new videos are always a highlight of my day.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks man, great feedback and will look into it. new editing software as of late so need to see what works/doesn't

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Great stuff !love the tourneys, I find myself more nervous for you landing those fish then I am catching my own! Wish you would of thrown that glide a few times in your cranking stretch when they were chewing(you may of off video) but I know how hard it is to put a crankbait down when it heats up. That pad you guys stayed at was so sweet BTW..great job thx

[@igustikarunia7498]

Less talk more fishing, that he is love it so much,.... keep fish Greg. thanks for show...

[@jessedenning9214]

Clean deck and lost fish or bring net and land more fish. Never a tough choice for me. I always bring a net. Good luck on the tournament.

[@MikesFishingAdventures]

Love to see young kids organizing these kinds of event especially in California !!

[@crxkingsir]

Knew right away u would place top 5. Congrats

[@Nick-mc2hy]

Grab some beer you say? I wonder what kind Greg will pick…said no one ever. 😆 🍻

[@chrisruef9221]

Love it when they're chasing.

[@andrewboyce7268]

What a good crankbait bite, don't get many of those in my lakes.

[@sirjustis]

Congratulations!!! 4th is a nice place to be :) it always makes me happy to see you discover the pattern.

[@kentkerrigan2164]

Would be cool to get a video of you dissecting a super cold water winter fishing spot. Where I live some lakes are frozen some are not and about to get into the kayak stuff would be interested to see how you do it.

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg, you're such a great angler. I enjoy watching how you can figure out a lake, and change your baits, for the bite that's on. I very much enjoy, my 120 pdl and torqueedo. But those 2 kayaks, i believe are the best of there fleet. Thanks for another great adventure vid you put together..🎣🤟🙏

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks Anthony! great setup you got, tight lines man

[@anthonysadventures6012]

"I'm a crank baiter" he said. 😂. surprising even to yourself? I love those flat side crank baits this time of year all along those rocky banks. lose a few here and there but makes those bass angry. so looking forward to hitting a few of those tourneys 2022, seems so lonely hitting these lakes in the South Bay looking like im the only kayak out there sometimes. still catching the quality ones though

[@arls9430]

So cool Greg! Lipped them in.

[@Brunnen_Gee]

Ha, I've had cranks wedge in there like that before. I've caught one where it was in there so tight it was the only thing holding the fish. No hooks were set, just the crank jammed in there like that.

[@traviskrotje4202]

Dude your videos are such high quality! No BS, just pack as much quality content into every video. One question tho, what is the rope you keep adjusting on the right side of your kayak... Anchor trolley?

[@dudefish1635]

Greg, I use and catch a lot of fish on the frittside 5 & 7 here in Bama. The hooks that come on those baits are super sharp but I lost a lot of fish on them. I upgraded mine to size 4 triple grips and my catch rate went up tremendously.

Plenty of room in the front storage for a net. I use my net to mostly keep things from rolling around inside the boat. And still never have it out when I need it.

[@kirk.818]

This channel and a hand full of others really deliver on the fishing aspect of the videos I don’t want that googan squad cooperate bs I just wanna watch someone who thinks and likes fishing the way I do. Not enough Greg’s in the fishing community on KZbin

[@w_xyooj24]

Greg you inspired me so much on kayak fishing I dont have one yet but soon ill be able to get one

[@stoneysdead689]

Man throwing that glide looked so fun I went and bought one. I already had it in the gizzard shad pattern but I wanted a blue gill pattern so a nabbed another one. For a 20 dollar glide they flat get the job done huh? They're not great for fishing open water flats but if you're targeting something like a dock or some grass- perfect.

[@ninjarider84]

When Greg is kicking the net out of the way at the end of the video 🤣🤣🤣🤣 been there done that

[@Mr1BIGGEE]

Fish will often bite when you are not ready and out of position. It happens a lot when you take your hand off the handle and pop the bait with your right wrist. Fun times for sure.

Nice! Can you give us a tutorial of how you are so confidently handling those trebles without using the pliers lol. I play thru all the nightmares in my head when removing a treble, so I can never do what you did (left hand holding the fish at its front/gill and right hand removing the treble)
