I didn't really have 46 minutes to watch Greg fish this morning but I did it anyway.

[@Abe_Sinclair]

With Blanchard vids, Theres ALWAYS time!

[@joeburrow7691]

Same here man. I made time for Greg. No homo

[@kpnitrl38]

Greg is too cool man. Got to support our bass dude.

[@kobe34081]

Well when there is an ad every 3 1/2 minutes, its pretty hard to stay on his awesome videos.

[@kpnitrl38]

Martin S... That was kinda out of the ordinary for him.. I was a little surprised myself. But I'm a avid watcher.

[@toddwalker5102]

Dammmmm I absolutely about shit when I noticed 46 mins. That's gonna be a bomb vid man. Ur gonna kill em. Like always great videos

[@poststalone1496]

Trying to make me late to work I see 😂. I’ll have to watch half on lunch today.

[@samuelwarden6285]

Wow when that fish jumped in between your leg to get out of the boat I started laughing. Sorry i just couldn't help myself. That is a really good idea with the net though. Im glad Mike told you about that cause it definatly helped. Another great vid as always. 👊👍

[@CasualBassGuy]

Get you a dang 4”-5” swimbait tied on! Great vid

[@deonnawilliams4903]

A guy once told me 3,4 and 5. All you’ll ever need. Unless your targeted the bigger bass than you upgrade.

[@chrisbrown8748]

Sweet I love when Greg drops these longer videos🤟

[@maddmannziggy89]

His videos are always the best! I enjoy watching with my daughter cause I know he is always gonna catch fish and no foul language for the little one! Much respect for this guy! Thanks for the great videos! Like I’ve said before if your ever in Iowa hit me up and I will take you out fishing!

[@mikem8502]

Same, my son watches fishing videos and I always try to point him in the direction of Greg. Family friendly language and he’s a positive role model.

[@ralffflames8976]

Love the longer style videos.... keep em coming my guy...

[@kadenwheat1524]

i love watching this dude

[@Eric-qw4wv]

persistence, perseverance, and performance. you deliver yet again! good job.

[@maibhawj]

Love waking up to Greg’s video

[@MNBassYaking]

Awesome job there!

[@Titus1004]

Awesome vid! Enjoyed every minute of it!

[@bobseaver7807]

Great video Greg.. keep em coming. 👍

[@kcoutdooractivities1338]

Just got my Titan 12, can’t wait to go camping and fishing. Good stuff, thank you for sharing.

[@hempseedaddict]

This was a treat to watch, started at 5:15 this morning and just finished at 10:30....took in bits and pieces as I could in my work day ;-)

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Conditions were tough but you kept grinding it out! Respectful finish! Can't give up! Great vid, Greg!

[@anthonyreeder8283]

Always enjoy the video man. Keep it ups

[@kpnitrl38]

Man, definitely a grind.. Dink after dink. Good job Greg.

[@randyrhyne139]

Damn bro, one kicker could have done the job! I busted out laughing when the second fish jumped out under your leg. We have all been there but couldn't hold the laugh in. Great vid as always.

[@deonnawilliams4903]

I love Greg, I can’t lie tho I busted out laughing too. Love his grind

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

LOL! those spots are fiesty.

[@freeagentangler5159]

I enjoy the behind the scene coverage bro, thank you and keep up the great videos.

[@leftlanechampion]

Another banger!

[@spencerwall3404]

Man that was rough fishing, but you made it work! Can't wait for your Clear Lake tournament vid.

[@demolition_fishing]

What a grind! Like they net idea:) Great job!

[@CommonSenseFishing209]

Ha that rock wall your at is right across from where I got my 10lber on your first fish. When you look to the right and you see the shore with the boulders on the point. That's it!!

[@InocenteSandoval]

35:10 that is an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing that and give my thanks to Mike also

[@dustinwhite5508]

Great job man, that was a tough fish, my jaw dropped watching those fish keep jumping out of the kayak. Keep up the good work, can’t wait for the next video.

[@bmiller8255]

Thanks for a really full video. Loved the long one. I would definitely have to bleep out some words after those fish jumped out. Thank you Sir!!

[@jaysonelam8321]

I was holding my breath every time you measured a fish!😮 Good job fishing hard.

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Enjoyed the vid, Greg! Thank you! Better luck next time!

[@andrewfultz7472]

Watched this vid in 3 parts over yesterday and today. Thankful that I saved some for today, helped heal the heart after a tough day on the water. Thanks Greg! You're the GOAT, keep that Positive Mental Attitude (P.M.A.)!!

[@javierl.xaviman8086]

Great video Greg, It Is wonderful the walk trought the challenge, thanks for share and wait for more long videos!! "Free the futures bass captures"

[@raymondbiller4922]

Every video of yours i watch i pick up on something new. I thought i was a decent kayak fisherman but amazing how much i learn on these videos of yours! My wife also credits you for my popper spending spree/addiction this summer (6th sense for me though!)

[@dannyvelazquez3951]

Watched it all from beginning to end. You are the only KZbinr I watch every second of every video. 👍

[@F1Hopeful]

Tournament fishing.....nothing like it!!! Thanks for sharing Greg. That was the perfect way to start my week. The entire measuring thing I am not entirely in favor of. In the Plastic Navy tournament trail we had live wells. That helped in that the old rocket-launched bass rarely occurred. However my brother did have a six pounder come flying out of the live well the moment he placed it there. He still had the net in his other hand and quick thinking averted the disaster of loosing that fish. He netted it!!! For the second time!!!! Take care bud!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks Angel! I hear ya. It's crazy to think back when we did 3 fish limit kayak tournaments someone could catch THREE 14 inch bass for 42'' that maybe go 4 pounds and someone else could catch TWO bass at 20' for 40'' that are probably 9-10 pounds total and still lose to the first guy!

[@anotsostealth]

Its always those small ones that like to flip like that! As always, pulled for ya all the way to the end! Tons of support for what you do and how you do it!

[@curlyjr22]

😂 that second fish that jumped!!!

[@cecapfishing9882]

Woow 46min Congratulations, Greg!

[@alceja3522]

Damn I’m gonna have to watch this 46 minute video on my 82” Samsung

[@mellowroot714]

Stuck working long hours the last 2 months, I fish vicariously through you for now. Can't wait to knock the cobwebs off the yak.

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

Awesome video bud we all have days like that for sure all you can do is keep grinding

[@clipzcasual]

Your skill and dive bypass your views and subscribers ten fold. Love your content bro. Your an inspiration!!

[@KarlitoPR]

Theirs a huge pond where I live that I don’t even think Greg Blanchard can pull 5 fish out of. I’m challenging you Greg, don’t be afraid of a challenge😂😂😂 All love bro

[@JohnSattoCH]

Love it! 👍👊

[@OhKee12]

What’s better than 45 minutes of Greg? 60 minutes of Greg. 💪🎣

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

LOL! oh man, ill try an hour video one of these days

[@OhKee12]

Greg Blanchard 60 minutes of unedited fishing challenge. 🤣

[@NellysfishingAdventures]

Congrats to Alden, and you did good for a tough lake good job man

[@hen_17]

Yeass 46 mins of amazing content!! Let's goo!!

[@fishhubbd]

Really nice content Sir!!!

[@looney3574]

I don’t know about anyone else but I really did enjoy this video! I like the way you stay up beat even when all looks lost! I have a saying that I catch myself saying often “ Well if that’s the worst thing that happens today I’m still alright!”

[@woodlandstexasoutdoors728]

Greg you really inspired me to never give up in a tournament. I have given up before after a few bad things. But you always stay positive and keep fishing. Thank you.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks man! I will say that most tournaments (if not all) that I do well in I catch a key fish in the last hour! gotta treat every hour the same!

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Dam That's a tuff lake. Good luck on your next tournament Greg. 🙂

[@brucepreston3927]

That place is beautiful, I really need to take a fishing trip to California!! If only it wasn't 2200 miles!!!

[@dennissastini3312]

Never been in a kayak something very enjoyable about watching your videos the quiet and very good commentary love the fact of showing all the different baits And truly get an awesome vibe from you seem like a person I could talk with just nice guy keep up the videos I’m from the Bay Area so that helps seeing the same places I’ve been to and some I’ve always wondered about 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks for the feedback Dennis! thanks for watching

[@BobbyOfEarth]

Without much cover for holding fish on McClure, but boat traffic often creates one of the best mid day patterns ..once the mudline forms. I typically follow the contour of the shoreline/cliffs with a rip bait or spinnerbait (w/trailer hook) and quickly work thru the mudline.. Good way to fill out a limit..

[@FlyezBassing]

Great video brotha! Love the grind. Keep it going.

[@CommonSenseFishing209]

After 1030 or 11 you should have fished 35 to 60 ft deep!!! Big spots and largies!!!

[@tombabcock1072]

You worked hard, not a bad showing at all. Good luck next tourney.

[@shake-n-bakebassin]

Great job brotha!! Way to make it happen when things switched up on you!!

[@georgebrewster7861]

What a grind. Way to have the piece of mind to abandon your spots and go look for new water. You salvaged the day and big props to you. Hope you have a better tourney the next one. Tight Lines!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks George! I knew it'd be a tough one, happy to have caught what i did honestly

[@CommonSenseFishing209]

Greg that lake this time of year you want to be either right on shore or off 40 to 80 ft deep with drop shots we stick 3lb spots or so usually in that range. Plus i got a 10.6 on a jig up by horseshoe. 8lber at barrets. An 8.5 at mcclure poimt. They are there. Go deep!!

[@jeffw3776]

Way to push through..good job. Thanks for sharing. GoPro issues, catching a 3 lb rock. Nice

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Jeff! Yep, some interesting moments today

[@bassfury9241]

Watching ur videos bro had helped me on new lakes I never fish thanks man love ur videos and you got to try a dark and tan beer for me 😃

[@cecapfishing9882]

I had to watch it though the day, in 7 parts I felt like I was there with you! Your level of fishing is just too damn high! I wish I could have a torqeedo here in Brazil

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks for coming along!

[@benjaminbuchanan8381]

The “leg trick” and the “net trick” what a crazy batch of fish!! Lol

[@omarmunoz9469]

🔥🔥🔥

[@jeffniebanck6387]

laughed out loud when the 2nd one jumped off the board! (sorry) and when” hooked a rock,caught one on a bare hook” had no problem with 46 minutes. loved it. 👍

[@Hugofgarza1984]

Love all your videos bro..but the tourney videos are the best. So exiting.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks man, they're my favorite to create

[@polychris5961]

Greg, you’re a monster. Tough day on the stick and you still managed to grind out a respectable finish. That’s commendable bro. Big congrats!! And GL having to do it all over again next weekend LOL. Least you’ll have some experience going in

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Chris! After these touranments I swear I sleep like 12 hours LOL! Ah, yes, back to the sun this weekend lol

[@agent47yt55]

Its awesome to see you almost reach 100k!! It would be awesome if you did a meet and greet at the oasis marina!

[@mr.f1x332]

We need more videos with Obedie!!

[@timothyperiard7048]

LOL... That happened to me a few times last year in tournaments and it hurts for sure especially when it is a big bass. Your right death grip for sure. Nice rock bass...lol . Still good finish considering. Congrats to Alden.

[@kerrypitt9789]

Greg ghat is the morning wind. In Canyon Lakes and rivers, as the air heats up it begins to move and will create a wind for a few hours.

[@fish_guru20]

Loved this video 46 mins we need these my an my 2 yr old son woke up an watched all he could say is another fishy another fish lol watch 20 mins an drank coffee...just finished the end an its 11 38 pm great video bro like always love the content bro

[@roboneb]

When I saw this was 46 minutes long I had to get strapped in and grab the popcorn!

[@donfoddrill2697]

I gotta tell ya, you are the Best ! You work your butt off especially this tournament with camera problems and fish jumping out of the yak. Great vid. Keep it up and keep it real. Like seeing the truth and you bring it !

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Don!

[@yingyang803]

Didn't have time to prefish for yakabass this weekend but this is all the prefish I need

[@BravoBassin]

ya always sucks when they jump off the board back into the water I have had that happen with few big fish. And ya totally agree once you have a limit you fish more relaxed and with more confidence . great video though keep them coming.

[@Cwtosh]

Love the videos man! You should come on out to Tennessee this upcoming year and fish a tourney with our local trail on Kentucky lake or pickwick.

[@Craqked]

I watched about 20 min of the video looked at the time realizing it was 46 min long lol 😂 out west camping is the greatest!! Greg if u don’t already U should try Bow hunting!...

[@frederickwestberry7895]

That was an awesome video bro . sorry I laughed when that second fish jumped out of the kayak and back into the water. If it was me I probably would have thrown my rod and reel in the water with the net😂😂😂

[@craignash4736]

Hey Greg. Just one big one , would have been the difference. Great fishin !!! Craig

[@Znate80]

Dinks are what McClure is known for. It is one of my home lakes.

[@dylanschannel6275]

Good fishing there. It was frustrating watching you pull in those smaller fish but congrats to dark horse for taking 1st!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Aldie gettin' it done!

[@romebranson3266]

My hats off to you brother. I can’t fish when it’s that hot

[@greghammett7894]

I take my photos vertically in one of the leg slots. I put my right leg over the edge of my kayak then snap the photo. They have much higher to jump to get out of the kayak, haven't lost any off the board since I started doing that. You can rotate your photos after.

[@aprildinatale8163]

You haven’t hit lake Tulloch yet! That’s an awesome lake in that area you’ve been in. I for sure recommend hitting Tulloch!

[@petecampa]

I was there this Saturday and my nephew pulled up a rock also, that was a 1st ...then you did that...tough bite out there...

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

rocks were bitin' pretty good tho

[@92sadventure71]

😂😂 those two fish that jumped out during measurement, mind you it was back to back; made me laugh hard Greg. I feel bad but it was hilarious. Like what you said man, theres nothing to lose, and with that mindset you just have to hakuna matata the day. I still think its a good day catching a limit on tournaments; definitely your objectives second would be culling and winning. This longer videos on tournament day is good! Makes it feel more like we are actually fishing with you. Good luck on the next one! ✌🏼

[@newjayadventures]

Thanks for showing me how to use the net for keeping my fish inside the yak.

[@SundayViewFishing]

Crazy how low the water is at this lake now!!!

[@tylermeadows8618]

New subscriber! This lake is right in my backyard but I’ve never fished there

[@G30vang]

Sheeesh this is a long one!

[@deonnawilliams4903]

Greg my Man, 46 min yasss just want to come through showing the love and support. Way to grind it out to very end my friend, tough tough body of water. No worries you always take every fishing trip as a lesson learn though I know. So we’ll regroup take what we learned and come back and put together a nice bag and hopefully come away with the W. Nice work All is good thought Dark Horse in the buildin, silent but deadly guy is right. Notice that Alden didn’t start out with the best boat/ gear but he made it work and has sense upgraded himself so so much. I’ve notice you are the guy give everybody a run for their money during tournament derby. Well done and Congrats Alden believe me I see you. #DarkHorse Mike missed you on this one but Happy Birthday to your son Andy. Did I mention 46 min🤙🏿

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks DeOnna! back there this weekend so maybe a little revenge is in order (or at least catching 1 fish over 16 inches! lol)

[@deonnawilliams4903]

Haha... Greg no doubt in my mind if they are there, you’ll catch em.

[@ronalvey103]

2 escape artists in a row….that was funny.

[@clutch3shot]

Sweet vid greg 👍 Lighten up that dropshot weight. 1/8 and 1/16 are my favs

[@brandonsherrell4611]

The red bass on blue gill shirt is sick

[@Abe_Sinclair]

Im going to watch this twice.

[@robertscott2448]

I'm a new sub and I love your content and your tournament videos keep up the great work

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks man

[@YFZMoto]

Love the Video you can't win them All But You Sure Can Try and only a few inches off the W is not bad.

[@donniewakemup8729]

I was actually going to ask you, a couple videos ago, if you had ever had a fish escape while you're trying to measure it. Man, that had to be disheartening, brother, 2 in a row. Thank goodness they weren't 20"+ fish. Love the tournament videos, man. Dunno why, but it's more fun to watch it when there's something on the line. Keep up the cool content.
