Waking up to Greg videos is the only alarm needed 😂

[@davelerner8461]

What a great day Greg, some nice ones! What I really appreciate is your obvious respect for mother nature and the fish themselves!

[@northbaybassanglers1068]

I would love to see you pick apart spring lake here in Santa Rosa. Once held a “world record bass”

[@tyler6368]

thatd be awesome, love that little lake

[@mr.fatbasstard_--_]

Pick it apart? It's barely bigger than the swim Lagoon pee pond. Her fish did not count as a WR. I'm not saying that that whole deal was fair...it's just the way it is.

Wow, I was having a really hard evening I woke up and see another Greg fishing video uploaded. I had to watch and my stress is completely gone fishing does make your worries and stress go away. I was just imagining what the feeling is when you’re actually out there doing it yourself. Thanks Greg for an awesome fishing adventure and bringing us along❤❤❤❤!

Great video! Nice mix of fishing and beautiful Spring nature. I like that you do not put loud music on your vids. Don't come for the music...😁

so you come to complain? There is a scroll bar and a mute button at the bottom of every video.

[@valenor916]

Seriously love seeing those alerts on my phone that you've uploaded again. Thanks for sharing GB!

Always blessed to see a new drop from GB leggo yeee

What a beautiful lake!!! AND a great day of fishing 🎣 Thanks Greg!!! Awesome video, awesome channel! 😊👍🏼💯

[@chmurdock]

Days like this are why we fish. Video got me so pumped!

[@scottbostic6247]

What have I said. Gonna be a fun year for Greg. So glad to see it. Thank you for the video Greg.

[@Casitascrawlers]

Another good day out loos like spring has sprung it’s been along week already & it’s only Wednesday but tomorrow is Thursday then I’m off just gotta renew my license & off to our local lake now 92% full but it was nice to get home from work & watch thanks for taking us along.

[@FishingwithRick625]

Man these videos are getting me through the winter months up here in Canada! Can’t wait to get back on the water rippin lips !

[@TheFishinMortician]

Nice day of fishing, lots of options! Very nice Greg.

[@stephensturgeon9310]

Awesome trip! Always amazes me how the wildlife doesn’t seem bothered by getting close with a yak! Great video!

[@johnzeetee6747]

Beautiful lake; great vid and nice bass

[@Kykayakbasser]

That's one healthy little lake! It would be hard for me not to go back soon! Nice content Greg!

[@jerrythao5281]

2 more months until MN opener!!! Watching your videos is teaching me so much and makes me itch to get out and fish more lol

[@funnyturtles8954]

i am so jealous you're out there catching fish. As always another great video Greg

[@HUNT-FISH-REPEAT]

Nice video, you had another good day. You on a roll. The only fish I've been catching this year so far is flipping and Texas rig soft plastics.

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Beautiful lake there. I would definitely return to fish there again Greg.🙂🍺👍

[@anthonyvespia6662]

What a day Greg. You'd never know that lake was pressured. Really healthy fish, even the smaller guy's. Epic trip bro! 💯 🛶 🎣

[@dalezindler2509]

Great video, I thought I had seen you on the lake. I was in the boat coming out of the creek as you went back. Want a great little lake.

[@MrFishingohio]

Glad you can use the drone again!

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

Definitely some quality fish there!😮👍

[@thatfishingnoob]

Woooohoooo. Morning everyone. Good stuff GB.

[@letsdothis223]

You need to do more places like this, that one area with the stumps and buggy whips looks a lot like we fish in South Jersey. Love the scenery. Really fishy.

[@timisoutdoors]

Wow! What an amazing Day, Greg. I totally agree. These are the ones that keep us coming back!!! Well...I'd go back anyway, but yeah! LOL

[@Henryjholmesjr]

Great day for you Greg 🔥👍🏾

[@johnshaft5613]

I used to regularly drive by that lake, and almost never saw anyone fishing it. I always wondered how it would fish. Thanks for sharing Greg!

Where is it I need new spots

is this lake Hennessey?

man I love that little lake. like you said its perfect for kayaks. perfect place for larger baits too especially this time of the year! don't sleep on it greg that place holds some bigs!

[@edwarddomingo7281]

what lake is it ?

[@fugisgonefishin]

@@edwarddomingo7281 that’s not how it works bud.

no worries i gotcha, just looked like a spot by me so i was just curious 🧐

[@limpingfisherman1509]

That sure is a sweet looking lake.

[@devincampbell572]

killing it greg

[@lizsmith9948]

Happy first day of Spring, March 20! 💐 Sorry, but I couldn't help yelling, "Net, where's the net???" LOL Very nice to see you hook some quality bass 👍 The clouds looked ominous - fortunately you didn't get drenched! Could you share the name of the lake, so we can add it to our list of places to visit? Merci beaucoup for taking us along 😊

[@Bassfishertv]

I fish this lake almost twice a week I wish I saw you there, glad you caught some fish!!

[@steezymichael3921]

What lake?

[@collinspear2595]

For a smaller lake it sure had a bunch of different habitats. (Trees, deep rocks, grass, etc.) Is a solid lake by the looks of it.

[@Fishingmissions827]

So true

[@blongyang5547]

Looks like lake Hennessy

[@surfy4959]

It looks like you are catching bigger bass. Great job out there.

[@normrobertson8920]

I love that place Greg! It does get a fair bit of pressure, but the 5 mph speed limit helps. Bigger average grade of fish and a lot of varied terrain as well. Great spring fishery. I fish it at least 3 times a year.

[@MossDaleMonster]

What place is it?

[@davewoolsey1005]

I love that place and fish there regularly. I have only been skunked once…because I missed both bites. She gets pressure but there are still good fish to be had.

[@steezymichael3921]

What lake?

[@colbymyers6278]

Nice! Im sure a mag draft or Huddleston would also crush right now

[@raffy313]

Great fishing, love to see when the bite's on for you! Hey Greg, you're the one who turned me on to Bl8nkt spinnerbaits and buzzbaits.I purchased one of each a couple years ago and have loved them. Recently I went back to their website to place another order, and noticed they no longer have them available. Did something happen where they stopped making them?

[@littlebobbyjr306]

Thanks Greg for the insight to the lake you fished, it was Lake Natomas

[@NitroZ18175]

😂 thats not lake natomas

[@greghicks9401]

Great day on the water....

[@davidtanner6834]

Great content as usual. Also we appreciate the excellent wildlife shots: Gods creation.

[@thedarkmittetoast7967]

no frogs on these mats or around trees ? what a chance to fish ... here in France, we have to wait until July to bass fishing, because predator fishing is closed and when it will be open, it will also be bass spawn, and we are not allow fishing during bass spawn, so we can only fishing bass for 6 month in a year ... that's not a lot Nice place, nice fishing 👍

[@fryeguy9939]

Greg. That's your idea of a small lake ?? Looks pretty good size to me... Probably because of where I live it's considered small... Looks like a beautiful lake with plenty of cover... Great editing Greg !!

[@Tyreelaserweld]

Love this body of water

[@mattyg5566]

Sticks do bite!... and so do rocks, reeds and docks.

[@joehadaway5018]

Surprised you didnt have a frog tied on! Glad you got into some good ones

[@brucemillard8950]

Looks like frog fishing paradise

[@jonmartin6451]

I’ve caught some monster bass off of that big rock over the years. Should of kept that secret 😊😮

awesome video, making it happen no matter the lake. I noticed that your Titan X has a good amount of water standing in the floor, should I be worried about that being a larger guy looking at purchasing the 12.5?

[@josephvillalobos09]

$$ Thanks for the video GB. Loved it as always

[@FishJunkie]

That lake low-key resembles Lake Santa Margarita near San Luis Obispo.

[@TheShon42073]

Way better when the coontail starts growing

[@iflanzy]

I was fishing on a stream in Maine that looked very similar to your spot at 14:30 and I was telling my dad that this is THE fishiest spot I have seen in a long time. Over the 3 hours we spent in the fishiest of all fishing spots, I caught about 50 4" perch on my underspin and not a single bass bite. Not that great. Lost a lot of keitech tails that day.

[@leodeanda4294]

Would love to see you fish down Southern California

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Ehh..not that great down here.Mabe Casitas

[@dennisbybee1683]

I fish Casitas lake quite often I’ve caught some huge bass here especially now the spring bite can be awesome now using spinner baits and cranking like a crazy man yup

[@51ddb]

Where were you Greg? Looks familiar. Some really nice fish.

[@fishing.with.murphy]

You should come up to Trinity Lake trophy small mouth lake with monster smallies and large mouth.

[@tailhookmd2546]

Sticks bite… and they fight… LOL!!! heck yeh they do… Stickus Americanus should be classified as a game fish! At least when I fish!!

[@Fjb.trumpwon]

Almost time for a weighted belly hook and swim baits . We toss them in the lily's and weeds . They love it

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

Should have cut your Choppo off and flipping with that you had braid on it ive had to do that as a co angler with Greg hackney

Greg, have you ever done any fishing in Florida?

Hello Greg, could you let us know what swimbaits and jig heads you are using on your a rig ?

All I can say to this is... there's a reason there's no good spots anymore...and let us not forget, there are still a lot of harvesters out there. They don't give a crap about sustainability. They just want meat. I care about the environments that I fish in. Don't take it the wrong way...
