[@cobbs]

dude, that was epic. just noticed the vid is 50 min long. seemed only half that length. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. well done, brother.

[@MY-kv9cu]

You know it's a giant when Greg looks around behind him after he gets it!

[@Rohit1890]

That fight at 19:00! I literally yelled out "LET'S GOOO" when you netted him.

[@DiamondHead2010]

Greg’s tournament videos are the best reality tv out there I felt like I was setting the hook Top level production man and congratulations on a nice bag

[@eddiefason3783]

Hands down best tourney video I have seen of yours.

[@thatfishingnoob]

It’s so hard for me to wrap my head around how many giants are caught in tournaments like this and how well you do each time as well. Those are monster fish. Crazy how much of a 1/4” difference makes. Each time update that you edited in added to this feeling of an impending doom of the tournament ending lol.

[@bradsillasen1972]

Highly compelling edit. Tight on action with regular status and contest updates so easy to follow the heat of battle. A great day on the water helps as well.

[@iccecold82]

Hey grey you are spoiling us with these longer videos, thank you. Epic tournament..hands down the best fishing KZbinr

[@jschang29]

What Mike said is true, your editing skills have improved. I been watching for a while and I had a feeling your channel would grow. Good job out there with the decisions being made. 30-45 minutes with no bites always makes you rethink your decisions. But when it pays off you feel good. Keep it up.

[@dannyvelazquez3951]

Watched every single minute and enjoyed it very much. Only channel I watch every single minute of every single video.

[@mkardachamp2981]

I normally don’t get excited for KZbin videos. But ever since I found this channel, I’ve binge watched from beginning to end. I’m so ready for this haha

[@lizsmith9948]

Sooooo glad you had your net in place for most of your tournament. Nothing like having the bass jump out while you're measuring it. Heartbreaking! I was screaming like a girl when the bass unbuttoned on the frog! Still the best entertainment while having my coffee 💖

[@freeagentangler5159]

I called in sick from work to watch this video. Had my popcorn and drink ready!

[@jerrynguyen5777]

Upcoming big fisher KZbinr, calling it now! Awesome videos man

[@richardbrown986]

They way you slow down the video before a bite never gets old. Top notch sir 👌

[@mburke1211]

I’ve been watching for a long time, and this was one of your best (videos and tournaments). Great stuff!

[@foxpaws42]

Agreed.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

That look at 19:13 was a “get you some” look 👀 👊🏻

[@niknotster25]

This vid had me riveted to my phone the whole way through! I felt your pain on every lost fish & your joy on every pinned fish. What an epic 2 days of fishing. Can't wait for part 3 🎣

[@F1Hopeful]

Still stunned. Best kayak bass fishing tournament video EVER. Period. No argument. Sealed and delivered. Awesome work. If that isn’t exciting……I’m afraid you are getting colder with each minute that passes. Excellent work Greg. Thank you so very much. That one can be watched over and over. Be safe and great luck to you and your efforts.

[@vincentlis3468]

Gotta be one of the craziest frog vids I’ve seen this year!!!

[@justgregnow]

I never thought I'd watch a 50 minute episode, wow that was fun!

[@drewsims262]

How you gonna do us like this Greg🤣 anticipation is killing me lmao

[@IRATE209]

Out of all your tournament videos this one takes the cake. Top water bigs & top ranked You crushed it! The 1st place coming soon👏🏻👏🏻

[@blay7263]

I don't always watch 50 minute KZbin videos, but when I do...they are Greg Blanchard videos.

[@Daawwaa]

Awesome! Can't wait! Good luck man!

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

The more i watch you the more you are becoming my favorite KZbin fishermen.. Just quality videos and quality fishing.. None of the run around you see on here a lot. Would love to fish with you any day. Thank you for another awesome video. 🎣🇺🇸🎣

[@APFishingAdventures]

The anticipation!! Stop teasing us Greg and show us already!! Rooting for you man! Big fan love the channel! We need more Frog Only tournaments!!

[@stevemakoskijr8074]

Nice work Mr. Greg!! Next time you're on a frog bite you gotta sing "I kissed a frog and I liked it, the taste of it's Bass Pro chapstick." 🤣

[@jccullen6408]

Nice that Bass came back for seconds 🤘

[@abadventures2018]

Of all the people I watch on KZbin. Your one that I genuinely root for and hope to see win! Happy fishing and God bless you man 🤙

[@robertdiehl1281]

Ya was super enjoying watching this two day event. All of the on the water decisions that make or break your tournament. Great fishing and editing and ya. Excellent video dude.

[@willgray6220]

Great video Greg. It's been really cool to see your channel grow and you fish! Thanks for helping decide on a good kayak to get by answering my questions on Patreon. You are awesome my man!

[@mikeryan925]

Your keeping us on our toes with this 6pm premier! All a fun time with the boys. Great work Greg! Summer smoke from the fires is just the new normal now. 🤦🏻‍♂️.

[@datruthhurts3984]

[@vuexiong6087]

[@kumaboyy.7443]

[@chucknduck8739]

[@b72ant]

[@snopuncx15]

[@williamwelle]

I swear every time you reach for something else on your kayak while your bait is in the water you get a bite! What a day on the water. Clear Lake is something special! Once again Greg,, great video

[@CALIBEAR]

Another dope video with great shots and plenty of drama. I was waiting for the buzz bait the entire video. Great job finishing in the top 10!

[@johnolivas9984]

Congrats! Nice showing across the board!

[@jmsoto8875]

[@hungrydad7537]

I was awe struck fishing this tournament weekend and watching and learning from Gregg what I did completely wrong! Thanks for the vids !

[@jamesniggemeyerfishing3432]

That was an awesome video Greg!

[@Totallytorched]

Love the b-roll stuff and the action at the house!

[@shawnmcintyre3160]

Love clear lake ...your lucky just to be there fishing 🎣 ... Doing well is just a bonus ...

[@Kevo_973]

50 minutes of greatness always a banger !

[@ThePerfectComboFishing]

That was absolutely some of the best frog fishing I have ever seen. That lake is amazing. Those casts after you took the jacket off and the immediate strikes. Phenomenal!

[@jamesgbriley4471]

Great job Greg, thanks for taking me along for the ride!

[@samuthmonychann9319]

Bro good job I was rooting for you so bad!!!!! Cant wait for more content keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍

[@michaelace4739]

Brother you was killing it. So Awesome, this video is the Bomb💣

[@JohnSmith-kz1ll]

Man that cull on the 17.75 about took your rod out of your hand. What an epic day for you sir. I'm subscribing I've watched like 6 or 7 videos now and like the channel. You have influenced me to get back on the fresh water. Been on a redfish kick for 6 months now.

[@sirgoul5609]

As always i love to watch your vids, go for it. Yor're one of the YT people who got me to kayak fishing

[@andrewjacobson4587]

That was good stuff, Greg. I was excited the whole time, groaning when you missed a hookset or a fish threw the hook, cheering when you netted a big girl. Fantastic job, how you dissect the mental game, and how you went to work on your limits.

[@kristopherreyes8638]

Great content was rooting for you the whole time 🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@jtk49]

Congrats Greg!

[@BassRaider]

Killer dude! That was fun to watch. I was saving this one for a few days🤣. Gotta watch the finale next!🤙🤙🎣🎣

[@Mourlias7]

You can’t have an epic video without Greg slaying them on top….and of course Mike burping 😂

[@erickg3508]

Man I love seeing your channel. I am a bass boat fisher, but love this kayak fishing so much! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@AlwaysApproved]

murdered it. way to go man congrats

[@noblebassin2428]

What a banger. Great job on the fishing and the edits. Wow man. You’ve came along way. Keep it up.

[@mrblueskynm3968]

OhmyGAWD Another GIANT!!! Can't wait to see more vids like that!

[@CXANGLING]

I just found out that the top 20% from the first 3 tournaments of my trail will qualify for the West Coast Championships! I hope to do well and qualify so that I can hopefully get to meet you and also get the chance to fish Clear Lake for the first time! Keep up the great work Greg. You are an inspiration to a lot of us!

[@MrJohnnyb74]

Good video and very nice fishing! Loved the one that you caught that chased the skipping frog!

[@toddwalker5102]
