[@Usuario-23]

Good morning folks. Today literally im on the water. Fishing and a cup a coffee and watching MR GB. let’s go and don’t forget to drop a like.

[@mr.v2689]

Driving to the lake as we speak also. Good luck out there.

[@Usuario-23]

@@mr.v2689 ty sir. And let’s bring them in the kayak.

[@RealMitchRapp]

brother to brother…. Mike is looking great! Slimming right down and took note of that salad at lunch too… WTG Mike!

[@hankcogburn2600]

This was by far the best video of the year. Tournament fishing excitement, hanging with the crew and the awesome new tournament style. Well done sir. Great video. May all your fish be kickers.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thank you sir, we had a good time, hope we can do it again next year!

[@fishingwithbrian5069]

That looked like a really fun tournament! We need to do that here in the Carolina’s.

[@stephensharples8686]

I've always loved fishing but you sir got me into kayak fishing and I'll always appreciate that👍🏾

[@delvinny98]

wow that was exhausting just watching it !!! Congrats Greg !!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thank you sir! yeah, i slept pretty dang good the following week

[@spencerhansen8956]

"I'm actually not good at fishing Clear Lake". Finishes top 10. Nice job, Greg!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha im still holding true to that statement. Just found a good 50 yd stretch lol

[@Abe_Sinclair]

@1:43 "SEND IT!!" 😂🎉

[@markphilippsjr]

Good morning, GB family. ☕️ cheers!

[@chrisruef9221]

Fun to beat the crew, too. Alden is definitely bitter watching this replay.

[@sneakykiller900]

I always envy your friend group. I usually fish solo and I need to change that just no one wants to buy a kayak lol. Great video as always.

[@TheFishinMortician]

Man I would love that style of tournament! Caught most my large bass this year in the dark or very close too. Thanks for sharing the adventure with us Greg.

[@barrycates7360]

Hands down, prob my favorite video also. Congrats on your 6th place finish. Keep them coming Greg !!!!!!!

[@Leveluptackle]

What a tournament! 95 inches is an outstanding showing, especially on Clear Lake, a lake that seems like it’s tough to pattern. Way to go Greg😎

[@johnstephany4029]

Man…how exciting!!! Great job! Those were monsters 🎣 They fought so well!!!

[@grumpy-dad3701]

What a sunrise. Amazing

[@BobbyOfEarth]

I can hear the mental fatigue in his voice, but then a brilliant recovery to the end. Catching an almost 22"er at 1:30 in the morning, that's crazy man!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

oh man this was an exhausting weekend in general haha. Yeah, but I'm actually surprised there weren't more big fish caught around 12-4 am but i know the wind was howling in certain parts of the lake that night so could've played a role

[@scottszczechowicz5699]

☕️ + Greg fishing = start of a good day😁

[@johnher1164]

Glad u got the og net back in action

[@DitchPickler]

That spot at the 53min mark is so good. Love the footage. Hook eM Hard!

[@surfy4959]

It is alway great to watch your videos. Great quality fish!!!!

[@jaysonelam8321]

Man, You were on’em! Great job.🎉

[@silverado1396]

Greg, you are one of few guys I follow and I love the content. I am glad you have opportunities to fish different bodies of water.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thank you sir!

[@Bassyakker85]

Coffee time 🎉 we ready!!!! 4:50am in Texas

[@quentinrodriguez]

solid showing man. I check your channel daily for the last AOY tourney. goodluck in that too!

[@fishingwithjett5373]

Great job Greg you definitely figured out a great pattern for that area of the lake. I feel you just ran out of time because the winning bag was there. Would have been great if you found that spot a lil sooner on day 1. Congratulations on top 10 finish.

[@johnhill2298]

Definitely a unique format! I was thinking you were going to pull a rabbit out of your hat! Congrats on a very strong finish!!🤙

[@digitalwells]

One of my favorite videos of yours from over the past few years. Perseverance pays off sometimes and that 50ft stretch paid out in dividends

[@chukchansi4272]

I just love your vids. The editing/music is top notch! Great friends, good times. Love it all. I set up my inflatable kayak with a tolling motor. I thought i had a lot of work to do before i was in the water but watching you hook things up is like clock work! Its all worth it though. Even though i enjoy shore fishing, with the yak i can reach places i've always wondered about but couldn't reach from the shore. and not have to deal with the poison oak and prickly bushes. LOL!

[@stacenhartland9777]

Pretty cool tournament set up! Way to stay on it!

[@ShaneJMcNair]

Interesting format... thank you for taking us along 🍺🎣

[@Abe_Sinclair]

I poured a hot cup of coffee over my head while watching this video

[@jerzdev]

Wow, incredibly enjoyable video, enjoyed you culling up, could feel the tension with each hook up. Really cool format, hope to see that idea take off elsewhere for sure. One of your best videos yet!

[@youremomsvilleplayzmc9528]

I had total faith you would finish strong. I liked what you were doing, just wanted you to throw a swimbait out deeper when the bite slowed. Nice work my friend. Looking forward to the next one. ✌🏼

[@stephensturgeon9310]

Good to see you want to get on the water as much as possible! Great tournament video!

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

Well worth the hour watching, congrats on 6th place Greg! 😎🎣🎥👍

[@socalbass758]

Top 10 Nice! Thank you for keeping the audience entertained!!!

[@sandybowers5085]

Congratulations 🍾🎉 Greg! With all those big numbers I think 6th place is awesome 😎 🏆

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you, Sandy!

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

Awesome video I really enjoyed this format and the adventure well done. Always great having a video with the hole gang

[@thenomadicoutdoors]

I love coach! He’s always upset, reminds me of one of my best fishing buddies lol 😂

[@bobbymcdonald2531]

Great video watching from Arkansas caught some good bass over the weekend

[@scottbostic6247]

Greg, man I so enjoyed this. Really proud of you and the way you handled this odd tournament. 6th is nothing to be ashamed of. You were on them and found a pattern whether you saw it or not. Way to go man.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks Scott! Certainly happy with the finish given the pre-fish!

[@N2sushi]

Just with any high pressure lake, the big fish know when people are on the lake and off the lake. Those windows of opportunity get smaller on weekends vs. weekdays. Most of the SoCal lakes are super high pressure, so optimum times to catch big fish are key right after the lake opens and right before the lake closes. Also throwing a lure or presentation that they never seen. Great Job!!! Always fantastic content!!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thank you sir! for sure, most of the big ones definitely hunker down when the sunrises and I can't even imagine fishing in SoCal. Norcal is hard enough for me lately haha

[@sangsaephan3258]

Nice to see a different style format. Congrats on 6th! Those big’n came in clutch. 🍻

[@clutch3shot]

Damn u musta been tired as hell. You never skip the outro/recap lol Great performance greg 👏

[@kue1master]

Looks so fun. Wish I had a group of guys to do something like this.

[@Eric-qw4wv]

the orange net is back!

[@barefootterry3785]

Congrats on a top 10 finish! I don’t like catching catfish, but a good fight is always fun. Those were some huge cats.

[@davidhopper4433]

I would never leave a stretch that is producing quality fish until it stops.

[@chrisclark1326]

Good job Greg , way to stick with it ! Big gold or copper Colorado bladed spinnerbait , black worm with glass bead on Texas fig, black frog and black buzz bait at night do great !

[@TheSprayking]

At all my spots… Richmond park, Vista, and I even tried to buy a house on clipper Lane… lol Good video !

[@frederickwestberry7895]

Awesome video Greg as always really enjoyed watching . See ya on the next video.

[@Mark-dj5qf]

Great job Greg!! Thanks!

[@davidamato3690]

Dude!!! Those fish were slippery on that tire filled pier! Trust me I lost 3 there, minutes before you. I did catch a couple good ones, so I'm sure I spooked them good. Looks like you found some right after. Good job bro!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha nice to chat with you on the lake. That and then the one that came unbuttoned on the spinnerbait probably was all for the best as it made me leave way earlier than I thought I would lol

[@sanfranciscotorguy]

Thanks for sharing your adventures and keeping a positive attitude. Still a very good bag.

[@qooch481]

hold moly thats a big freaking bag, can't believe it was only good for 6th. nice job greg.

[@matt.denney]

If I had 34 hours on Clear Lake I’d be tossing a big glide bait the entire time! Keep up the good work Greg!

[@sstig13]

Congrats on a top ten finish! Been a heck a of a good year for you man!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thank you sir! i can't complain!

[@raffy313]

Good stuff, I was rooting for ya, Greg! Way to knock out that 2nd half of the tourney. Lol, next time show us the results of the rest of the group, man! I was curious how they ended up.

[@bquinn3234]

No Outro with the crew??? The boys must have been exhausted. A really cool tournament format and I think you might have figured a couple of things out at Clear Lake. Keep fishing confidently Greg; don't doubt your abilities sir!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

I'll just say not everyone made it to the finish line lol

[@niknotster25]

Awesome result Greg!

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Congratulations Greg great tournament. To finish in 6th. Was a great finish in that kind of tournament. Great video.🙂🍺

[@alexdockrill]

My heart sank when you showed no boat at the dock 😢 you got me good sir

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha

[@sakelleys]

Morning Greg not bad at all taking the number six spot congratulations🎉

[@EricInouye-is5ui]

Congrats on the finish! Always great watching you and the crew! 🎣

[@granvillej3316]

Greg that was an impressive display of great fishing endurance and perseverance. I actually loved that you can fish that long definitely you had to maintain good time management to make sure you were on the lake at the right time AB’s seeing the fish you were catching you did just that. My question is how did you maintain your battery charge during all those days and did you even have to worry about it? Greg wow absolutely outstanding job thank you for sharing take care and God bless!!!❤

[@guts1005]

Night time fishing is amazing!

[@kennightingale516]

What I have found, fishing nights, is there is a transition period where the fish's eyes have to adjust to night time. During this time I throw plastics, slow. Only a few colors work during this time. Then about an hour after the sundown period, go with your darker colors, black/blue, purples and dark greens in plastics (mix in a little red) and brighter colors in cranks. Thats just what I use in TN. I don't use top water at night for some reason. I'm sure they work but I just haven't used them. Congratulations on a great tourney and season. God bless

[@Eskah.Mof0]

Heck ya! 🎣🦈

[@MarkoMygun]

Well we would have liked to hear an ending Greg lol. And when is the next tournament??? I thought you did great,you found a pattern and came in 6th good job. Can't wait for next coffee time thanks Greg.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Ty! next tournament is the biggest of the year (at least for me). TOC on Lake Berryessa mid October. AOY crowning and will be a dramatic finish no matter what

[@TeddGish-hf7gt]

✌️👍 good work solder, now you've got an area up there you know hold big fish.. add some structure in and around that area so it holds even more and bigger fish.. then you can go back to that area and start winning tournaments left and right money money money, LOL LOL..👍✌️

[@darenhayes7506]

Alright I'm at the end of the video so last thing I'm going to say is out of the whole video I think the biggest fish you had on was that one under the dock that you lost on the spinner bait!! You still did amazing bro 6 is a great job fishing against the numbers are kayaks you went against hands-down best tournament for u of the year!! LFG!!

[@mikejacques8863]

Awesome job! I’m surprised that the format got less than 30 total anglers- you’d think that the ability to Taylor it to your schedule would be appealing

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks mike. same, i think time of year played a part. if this were in May/June it would've been double/triple numbers imo. This time of year is when tournaments tapper off

[@MaineStreamFishing]

1:42 wow I didn’t notice that in the last one… they got spots to pull your yak off and get right back on… never seen that and thats soooo dope

[@sentientslug3259]

Man you have such awesome equipment. love the kayaks and you have awesome tackle.

[@kcpkcp123]

Man that was absolute grind! You definitely earned it, Great job! And Great Video!

[@robcroteau764]

Yelling at my phone for you to fish all night. Buzzbait, wake bait, whopper plopper. I looovve night fisbing!

[@MagnusSentDooM]

That looks like fun! Exhausting but fun as u said! Watching these make me want to start bass fishing. Funny I grew up watching bass masters , Roland Martin, Bill Dance, played n loved bass fishing games but never really targeted bass 🤣. Mainly an ocean fisherman

[@DinkMasterVA]

Thank you for always putting so much time and effort into your videos and fishing ! Congrats on too 10 !

[@WestCoastChris138]

Gregory knows what’s up lol, having a bad day…….eat a snickers lol. I do it all the time bud 😂

[@scottbostic6247]

Yessss! Been waiting on this one.

[@bobbyg6192]

As always, top quality content and another great vid with the crew! I’ve noticed in quite a few of your vids you say I’m not sure if that’s gunna cul or you don’t think the fish is of size. I was thinking maybe you could scribe some lengths into the pole of your net. Like a quick reference guide 14in, 16in, 18in, 20in so you can quickly hold the fish to the net and if it’s not of size, quick release. Prolly save you a little time from taking out your measuring board and then putting it away. I dunno, just a thoughT. Keep up the good work and quality vids!! Been a fan and loyal subscriber for years! 🤙🏾

[@Mourlias7]

9 minutes into video and my stomach hurts!! 5 guys having mexican food the night before is a recipe for disaster🤣🤣😂 Nonetheless another great video with the group!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha "trumpets in the night, they're coming from every room" -mike ensign

[@Fresh_N_Salt_Fishing]

Great episode, well filmed 🤙

[@darenhayes7506]

Very video brother enjoying the coffee at home wishing I was fishing CA Delta says hello!! Last day you should have been throwing Big b only wake BHS waivers big buzz baits!! Or if you want to go the other route and fish low for Biggs punching in the biggest heaviest cover where nobody else wants to cast I've told you this before!!! Hindsight's twenty-twenty you're getting bites on a bigger body crankbait so you figured it could get a bigger bite I'm guessing when you figure it out the bigs we're hitting big shad throw awake Bay or a big jerk Bay or soft plastic swimbait low and slow!!

[@marctownsend8798]

Wish there was a way to double the likes... great video!!!

[@MaineStreamFishing]

24:47 those delta fish just built different…. THICKEMS!!!

[@CatchEmKing]

lets get it!!

[@hawjfamily321]

I spent a weekend there recently and only hooked up with 5 fish total. One was a catfish.

[@607pages]

Great job Greg

[@toddanderson566]

The belly shirts definitely come out to play at night it’s actually prime time for bass to hunt/feed if I’m not mistaken the majority do. I’m 43 been bassin with passion since I was a little ass and gotta say night fishing is amazing personally slayed several of my fattest sallies and produced some of my best overall fishing trips. You should try going out later be otw at 11/12:00 fish till sunrise the bite usually picks up late that’s when I’ve been successful. 🎣 on!

[@FishingWithFred]

Hate to miss a good strike like that but in my head I always say “he didn’t feel the hook,he’ll eat again”

[@Kyang800]

Tell Mike to fish for some Sierra Nevada beer lol

[@bostonbassgod6663]

Greg I wish I had your resilience 🤣

[@garrettschnabel7406]

Someone protect Mike he’s a national treasure!

[@MyBigAzzPimple]

Night time fishing for bass at the Sacramento delta is 🔥🔥you’ll have to use dark jigs..

[@scottszczechowicz5699]

So funny seeing: 31 hours remaining 😂

[@BassRaider]

Awesome video! My buddy Gilbert got 3rd🤙

[@B1GE2]

Greg to fish against the Canadians in 39 hours confirmed 😂

[@mcbassinfaas7285]
