Dude this is like watching the super bowl....🔥🔥....I’ve missed this👍🏻

[@devinhoyt7586]

Way better

[@newmennium]

That "explosion" sounded like a transformer going out.

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

A last-minute relocation, your pre-fish pattern falls apart, and you still pulled it out. You say you're not the most talented fisherman, but you're doing something right. Congrats on the win!

[@oneandonlyrohto]

VIDEOS LIKE THIS IS WHY IM STARTING KAYAK BASS FISHING!! 💯💯 THANK YOU GREG & AND GREAT WORK MAN!🙏🙏🏆🏆 FISH ON BRO!🎣🎣

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Watching Greg, last summer I finally received my kayak, I've saved over a year for her. But fishing all your life, and then kayak fishing is practice, practice, practice. I will enter my 1st ever 3 tournamants this summer. And watched Greg pre-fish, and continue setting up my vessel this winter. Can't wait for another 8 weeks..thanks Greg, your passing down so many tips, knowledge and much more. Be safe bro..

[@ramonvargas5599]

Thank you Greg for keeping me in touch with the Antioch Delta. Through you I now live in Tulsa Oklahoma. What better way to live on the Delta through a brother in bass fisherman. Thank you

[@F1Hopeful]

One of the, if not THE best video yet. I heard the voices too!!!! Been there and I cannot tell you how many tournaments have been won or salvaged in the last few minutes. Don’t quit until the fat lady sings. Pre-rig the Senkos for tournaments Greg!!!!!!! Well done!! Congratulations!!

[@TheFishingExperience916]

Does anyone else use videos on KZbin to do some prefishing before they go out to do some fishing.....🤔

[@Abe_Sinclair]

When I first started fishing, I would YT search the exact conditions I was going to fish, and I watch whatever came up.. Worked actually very well, about 75% of the time.

[@Kaleena43]

Humble, smart, hard working, adaptable, & competitive. What else could you want in a tourney fisher. Great work as always and keep improving!

[@jeffojeda8821]

It’s always great that you post your accessories on your videos. As a beginner with kayaking and bass finding it helps a lot. Keep the great videos coming!

[@skittles7001]

You’re a great fisherman, best NY rep out there! Your hard work and dedication is awesome!

[@absolutedion7318]

I watched this one twice. I love a late afternoon kicker. well done and congrats

[@tonylopez7649]

Congratulations Greg, very entertaining, you not only keep your fish pegged, you also keep your audience pegged. Your final hours of tournament fishing are very dramatic! Keep up the good work.

[@OldLadyAngler]

Woohoo. Well done Greg. Way to stick it out and keep grinding. Congrats.

[@Eric-qw4wv]

I love the echo off the covered boat slips at @16:40!

[@RyanTriesFishing]

Another win! Great job Greg!! Keep fishing hard! 🎣🤛🏻

[@GalaxyRods]

Congrats on your win! Way to stay focused. Its so easy to get discouraged when you know they are there and the dinks keep biting. You did the right thing and talked yourself down. I could hear the frustration in your voice...your mental game is strong!! Congrats.

[@sw3atyy3ti22]

So glad tournamnets are back man . The mayfly hatch down here in Georgia has been wild. Topwater is going offffff

[@johnburgess6572]

Senko for the money !!! The deal was the Senko !!!

[@andrewhoeft2710]

Ha.... atta boy, Greg!! Way to hang in there. Congrats 👍😎

[@fishingforadream9340]

When final results came in I was looking for your name, then BOOOMMMM!!!! By an inch and a half baby!!!! I jumped off the sofa like I won the lottery, great job out there brother!

[@riceypooie7428]

Senkos are like the god bait of bass fishing

[@edgarashford9438]

Congratulations Greg on your tournament win. I think you did a excellent job fishing hard, 👍👌.

[@garyseunization]

I don’t fish for bass but I enjoy watching your vids. Good win. Congrats.

[@206fireblade5]

Grats on the win. Good job sticking it out. If you feel there are fry guarders around the old beds, try a buzzbait or swimbait. Anything that disturbs the fry will normally get whacked by whatever is guarding.

[@greg94yj]

Awesome tournament my man!! Was watching with my 7 year old and when the results scrolled up and you were in first place he jump up and cheered. Good job Greg.

[@SMF89]

Congratulations Greg, and great job fishing the moment and finishing strong. Those last 2 hours are absolutely critical. You handled that well.

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Awesome job, Greg! The delta is like that, so many factors, tidal changes, time of year, so much cover, structure, miles of water!Love it!!

[@timhunt3070]

Congrats on a job well done. You figured the fish out and took home the W. Man I was sweating bullets just watching you trying to get number five.

[@ricklawrence3406]

Way to go Greg 👏!!! Your amazing,way to not give up....

[@FishingwithFishgall]

Dude, that video was so awesome... You went into with just no confidence. And it goes to show that if you don't give up, anything can happen. 5 keepers with 2 big cull fish was awesome bro. Love the tournament vids Greg

[@keithpowell2786]

Hey brother you smoked them, your hard work and determination paid off. CONGRATULATIONS

[@sackinemwithsam6798]

great to see you're doing well, and back on the tournament grind!! Never sleep on GREG BLANCHARD!!

[@YFZMoto]

Congrats Greg I had a feeling you were going to Limit out and you never give up that's what it's all about. Love the Tournament Videos it just shows what it takes to compete in these things and even limit out nothing is a given from one day to the next. Again Congrats to your Perseverance to make it Happen.

[@fishing_gimiks_az]

CONGRATS!!! PERSISTENCE ALWAYS PAYS OFF...

[@greatamericansurvival]

Congrats on the win man way to grind it out to the very end. That was very cool. I miss fishing the delta. Here in Georgia we have some great places to fish but the delta is always crazy what you might catch.

[@e.cabanjr7511]

Congratulations! I enjoyed watching your video. Your determination and persistence shined brightly. A well-deserved win.

[@donkukawski8609]

Congratulations Greg!..Awesome win and video. Gotta feel good to fill the bag.

[@finnhilden6151]

This channel is the best on KZbin, it’s the only one I can watch

[@Rapapapapapa1]

Congrats Greg, what a great job! Game plans always change but sometimes you find what works, Stay Safe and Healthy, Fish On!

[@friendlyneighborhoodspider9416]

It’s so crazy you actually follow the rules such a good man!

[@GunnFishTV]

That's why I love tournament fishing....the ups and downs, decision making, lost fish , patterns failing etc....but it's all worth it when everything comes together. Congrats on the W!!!

[@collinlamkin2322]

Awesome job, Greg! You really stuck it out and it paid off.

[@824rmrock]

Giving up is not in your mindset. Love your attitude and professionalism. Congratulations on the win.

[@bmiller8255]

I just knew at the beginning it was “The good, the bad, and the ugly” but of course if anyone can knock it out of the park with a win it’s you Greg. Stop selling yourself short. Your definitely a great stick that many are worried about when they see you enter a tournament. Great job Sir!!!

[@jeffw3776]

Congrats to THE BEST KAYAK FISHING GUY

[@stevenvalenti3722]
