How I caught 50 big bass (where, when and how)

[@tuboutdoorfishing9175]

Thank you Greg Blanchard. I’m a truck driver and at heart a outdoorsman. After seeing your three days in Shasta lake my sons and I went out on the 30th and Jaden caught the biggest spot of his life. Thank you for the motivation to get everyone out and just to remember that time is short and make great memories with the ones you love. Again thank you 🙏

[@Greenliight]

Awesome man! He really does get you out and inspired to go fishing, cool father son memory

[@tuboutdoorfishing9175]

Yeah, he does and it’s great for the heart and soul just to be out here on the water. Happy New Year’s. May all your wishes and blessings come true.

[@ericstanley8003]

Great year of nice bass. Love your videos. I would love to see you do a video on protecting your equipment and kayak when traveling.

[@leepechin2764]

Happy New Year Greg, best wishes for continued success!

[@leepechin2764]

A somewhat interesting comparison to me from years past, seemed like New York was hot and our California delta was not!!!

[@Jqfvcdty]

Hey Greg, thanks for all the great videos over the years. I started watching you 4 years ago when I was in 9th grade and decided to get a kayak because of your content, and I’ve just grown to love the sport so much and i thank you for introducing me. I just won angler of the year of the bass fishing club as a freshman at UNC out of 50 anglers despite having less gear and less tackle and your videos really helped me in doing that watching you use all these different baits and how you use them. Keep up all the great content and best of luck in this coming year!

[@markdebiak8096]

As a Veteran and Kayak fisherman, it always makes me smile a little bigger when I see People dedicating time to help or promote Veteran groups that help with Veterans mental help like Heroes on the Water. So thank you for that. And yes I absolutely bought the Abu Garcia Tact reel because of your video. You have come a long way for sure. I still remember the video when "young" Greg used his Grandpaps old lures to fish with 😎

[@tjzreptilez]

Have met you a few times on the water, always just as stand up as you come across online. You’ve given so many of us confidence to go out and try new things and catch em!

[@ronwallace7563]

Brother, you have taught me so much about yak fishing AND bass fishing over the years. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all the work that you do. Keep up the great work!

[@showtimefishing24711]

Been watching u for probably 4 or 5 years now. Still consistently the best kayak tournament channel, and now just the best overall fishing content on KZbin. Keep up the good work brother.

[@chrisnavychris]

I just spent the first day of 2025 chasing my dream on the st. John's river in my new titan x that I've worked very hard for. Yes it's a great feeling to wake up and drink coffee to a new gb vid...but there is no greater feeling than coming home from a 10 hour shift building fences to watch your new video...I appreciate your love for this hobby and finding out about you on yt 6 years ago. Its givin me motivation In life I never knew I had. Thanks bro🤙 P.s. #5 was my favorite.

[@whoopiniron14]

By far my favorite yak bass fishing content. Love seeing you figure out “the pattern” each time out.

[@delvinny98]

Hey GB what a great way to wrap up another year of kayak and bass fishing !!! HappY New Year to you and your fishing friends !!! I like to wish you all the success in 2025 and keep those great videos coming .

[@alikaaeto4439]

Happy New Year, Greg! It’s an honor to be apart of this kayak fishing community you have created, and I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your videos. You’ve inspired me and taught me so much over the last few years. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful new year.

[@pantherswrestling14]

GB… the best in the biz. Happy New Year! Would love to see videos where you break down your research before going to new lakes- your thought process when viewing contour maps, how/why you choose certain spots to fish, choosing your rigs/lures for the day, etc. Sending love from Connecticut.

[@funkymojo111]

Like I told Matt & Tim, "We know how to hunt, teach us how to track."

[@kylenorman7487]

I love the transition into the overall fishing lifestyle man, 7 years ago my New Year’s resolution was to get back into fishing and your videos have been with me during the entire journey. I hope your success continues, keep living the dream!

[@techtiger38]

Blanchard is the dude!!! I like how he shows the lure and we get to see where he is throwing so we get a mental image.

[@funkymojo111]

Oh yeah, I'm scanning the background like an FBI agent looking for clues. But I am not an FBI agent.

[@techtiger38]

@funkymojo111 Paw used to say "sometimes you gotta eat that chicken."

[@PatrickAdolph]

A VERY HAPPY 2025 to all! Too MUCH appreciation and gratitude to GB for being a stalwart in the fishing community. Terrific job showcasing the great outdoors as well as cultivating adventure, culture, and community, that's needed more than ever. The kind hearted nature of everyone and laughs constantly on display are just the cherry on top of this amazing channel. "We all are the change that we wish to see in this world." Blessings to all and RIP LIP!

[@stazzibass]

I recently purchased a kayak largely due to the enthusiasm you show for the sport. Keep the great content coming as its very inspiring to see you catching these large bass. Thanks for all you do for the sport.

[@alanbelow9709]

Watching your videos and seeing how you make it easy to catch at times has inspired and helped me to learn and improve my skills at catching bass in my local area. I have purchased some of the lures that you mentioned in your videos. Due to your adventure about fishing, I have purchased my first kayak from old town with the minkota drive system. But due to the information you have provided from your video I have gained a lot of confidence and technique, and Thank you for that. I will definitely try to compete locally, but there are not many local tournaments here for kayak clubs or fishing.

[@michaelmusket9109]

You’re one of the last standing KZbinrs I still watch regularly, it’s nice to see someone still so down to earth

[@ronnasonjr4857]

Thank you Sir! Thanks for taking us all along. Love the format and the tourney vids with the guys! Love your group of characters as you all are just real guys! Best of luck in the new year and tight lines!

[@victormartinez3438]

Thanks for all the great content. Love the channel. I’ve been watching daily since I discovered the channel about a month ago. Watching all your new content and trying to catch up on all the old videos. Watching your channel has actually got me back into fishing. I went fishing for the first time in 15 years last weekend. The latest OG challenge videos at Lake Shasta were awesome. Looking forward to all the new content and seeing you and the crew at the ISE. Thanks again!

[@kellymoore4517]

Happy new year GB, great content last season, the variety of fisheries you frequent showcases your ability to breakdown a body of water. Were learning from you.

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Nobody is more consistent on KZbin then GB with great fishing content.Cheers to a DD in 25 my man!

[@colingordon5950]

This channel makes me happy. Nothing better than kayak fishing and some laughs.

[@randl2000]

Hey Greg looking forward to meeting the O.G. Crew at ISE! Thanks for all the content over the years and keep it going!!

[@chriswilson2417]

Amazing job gGreg! Been watching since the beginning and don’t plan on stopping! Great to see a local guy as dedicated as you! Keep killing it!

[@danielheckman3894]

Your willingness to expand the channel in terms of production and content without going premium is a real gift to me. I appreciate all the hard work that goes in to make the videos possible!

[@thecrookedcrank]

I’ve analyzed over half of your videos since February to learn how a pro fishes. Big O and Santa create a community that I feel welcome to even though I’m not there. Planning to be at the event just to hear how yall present yourselves as the best crew out there. I believe that I can be pro because of you. I appreciate you!

[@chanceyang6309]

Watching you and the guys has legitimately made me a better fisherman. I managed to catch a new pbs using some new techniques this past year. Happy new years and cheers to some 10 younders!

[@nathaniel6026]

My wife and I always love watching your videos and it’s so much fun seeing our hometown when you’re back home in New York!!!

[@isaiahherrera872]

started kayak fishing in 2024 and watching your vids has helped me improve so much in a short amount of time. and thanks for sharing not just the highs but the lows to let a new angler know even the best fishermen have tough days too. love the content good luck in 2025

[@anthonynoe532]

GB, you set the standard for kayak fishing. Always look forward to watch your content. Keep up the excellent videos. I’ve learned so much from this channel.

[@OneMoreCasst]

I like watching your videos and I can tell that you are a truthful angler with utmost integrity. All anglers should have integrity like you.

[@MaristaRey]

So grateful for finding this channel, Greg you are awesome! Keep up the grinding :D

[@wendellgray3859]

You set the bar for the rest of the KZbin kayak fisherman . Love the channel keep the videos coming!

[@thatoaklandfan_6.621]

I genuinely get the itch to take my kayak out or hit the bank when I watch your videos. Thanks for the great content. The OG show has definitely been fun to watch

[@craigcote8236]

I put my kids to bed every night watching your videos and the top 50 fish is not a good way to put kids to bed. We are more excited now than when we woke up on Christmas. Keep up the good work!

[@fishingwithjett5373]

Your channel in my opinion is tops in the KZbin fishing world. Nearly 3 yrs ago your channel helped to inspire me to become a part of the KZbin fishing world. I've enjoyed doing it as well Happy New Year Greg👍🏾

[@matthewcarr8327]

So glad I found your channel this year. Easily one of my favorite KZbinrs now! Keep up the amazing work

[@mattbender6374]

Greg I look forward to each of your videos, I’m 45 and have been bass fishing since I was 13, you have taught me some new tactics and to be confident in where a yak can go! Please keep up the great work! 😊

[@phillipkwong5062]

Thank you for producing such great videos, GB! Your commentary and style always keeps me engaged while teaching me new fishing techniques or retrieves. Excited to see you at the Fishing Expo!

[@MTWasks]

Best fishing content editing on KZbin. Looking forward to the day you're over 1M subscribers. Keep it going!

[@dson051]

Greg. Love your vids. I appreciate you showing you catching, but also showing how you caught them as well as what you could have done better. It truly reflects the "why" kayak fishing is so awesome. Additionally, the comradery you have with the Black Horse guys is another true value that makes kayak fishing so special. I try to do the same over here on the east coast in the salt but have been getting more into bass trails we have here as of late and have been learning from your vids a lot. Thanks for what you do.b

[@christopherfrohardt2392]

Love these videos. Enjoy how real and honest this channel is. I like the full breakdowns of what you were using and your approach.

[@Addi--]

I always appreciate the consistent uploads. You're the only kayak bass fishing channel I watch every week. Keep up the good work! Cheers to 2025!

[@kenjixiong5674]

I love your KZbin content, GB. Your videos taught me so much about fishing out on the California Delta.

[@gregsmith1741]

The best fishing channel on KZbin. The OG challenge takes it up another level. Thank you for your work on making great videos!

[@KEZFishing]

Greg, you are the reason I bought my very first kayak and it so happen to be a native also because of you. I hope that you have a very successful 2025 on your tournament circuit this year! Keep dropping bangers!

[@bruceyano193]

Greg, thank you for your efforts and time. I'm not a bass fisherman, more steelhead and salmon up in the Northwest. I grew up as a child fishing striped bass at Frank's tract and the beaches. I appreciate your content, the commentary, your friends, and style. I'm always enjoying the competition win or lose but always a positive attitude and lessons learned. Have a great 2025, good luck, big fish, and be safe!

[@contactosrs]

Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos, best way to spend the morning is drinking coffee and watching these lol

[@chrundlethegreat7062]

My son was born mid summer and GB and the crew kept me and the little dude entertained and amped up for next fishing season. Can't wait for all this years content and to take the little dude fishing for the fist time! Tight Lines GB!

[@nathankershaw638]

I've been watching for quite a while now and have never been disappointed with the content or quality. Keep doing you, Greg. 🙏

[@Lunkerswithleroy]

Thanks Greg, I have really enjoyed watching your channel. I am a 60 year old retired Navy Submariner and an Avid Bass Angler. The way you handle yourself and your content is TopShelf!!! Looking forward to many more episodes. Respectfully Leroy

[@marlincarpenter8425]

Been watching you and the fellas all year. The 18th is my 50+ birthday and will be there. Ill also have some plastics for you. Thanks for the videos.

[@kk5fe]

Not like I haven’t said this before…. But your channel is by far the best kayak fishing channel ever. You are the reason I have not one but two Native Kayaks. Oh and the 4th is my birthday. So there is that. 😊

[@stacenhartland9777]

Sweet, some Finger Lakes Baits in the mix! Thxs to the whole gang for the awesome year and Greg as always your an inspiration all aspects. Thxs

[@funkymojo111]

Thanks Greg! By far one of the most educational videos from you yet. I like that you put the bait used in the corner. There was so much info in these clips: location to shore, water conditions, season, etc. ☕ +🍽+vid= happy learner.

[@S28-l3b]

Cheers to another great year. This coming spring is my first full bass spawn season with all my equipment. Thanks to GB and OG I have a foothold of where to go and what to throw.

[@Ivegonefishin411]

So... Another year in the books! Let me just say from all of us. Thank you for what you do, letting all of us tag along. It's been great watching you and your group of friends throughout this past year. Hopefully with luck, it'll be another good year for you and the crew. I wish I could be there at this event to grab tickets for the free kayak drawing. Unfortunately, I am in New York. Cheers to the new year to all!

[@BootseyJ209]

[@bigalfishing4956]

I have been inspired by your videos to get back into kayak fishing. Another great year. Also love it when you have OB on.

[@shanecruce5031]

Greg, been following you since around 7K subs. Love the content, especially tournaments. I started tournament fishing myself in 2024 and learned a ton from you, mostly offshore jig and dropshot techniques. Qualified for the USA Bassin national tournament which was huge for my first year. Looking forward to more 2025 videos and tournament wins!

[@lcacnav01]

Hey Greg, what a great ending to the year watching you and friends catching so many fish at Shasta!!! I live a few hours north in Oregon and i drool at the thought of fishing that lake. I really like when you and your darkhorse team get together, reminds me of my buddies from the military! Anyway, keep up the great vids, we all learn from them, cant wait to see the next ones!

So cool that you can collaborate with others and gift someone a dream. I hope it goes to somebody as there 1st kayak. What a blessing that would be!! I wish I wasn't so far away. Good luck to everyone involved in the raffle!!

[@douglasporterfield8681]

After watching you punch those big bass in CA the pat few years I decided I have to learn this technique. Gal I did! Even here in CO the bass will bury in the cattails and under mats. Whacked a ton of fish this past year punching and looking forward to watching and learning more from GB and the crew in 2025.🎣🎣🎣👍

[@Asch_ArmyVet75]

Hey Greg, my wife and I absolutely love watching your videos with you and the guys, they are great, it just always puts a smile on our faces when we watch your videos. My wife and I are really looking forward to attending the ISE this year here in Sacramento and yes, we both have put in our raffle tickets. Hopefully, we might possibly win the Native Titan X. My wife has started getting into kayak fishing with me. Since I am a veteran and she’s a first responder we both just completed the last HOW (Heroes On the Water) tournament. She had a blast so this would be great for her to have a good Kayak to compete in with me, either way we’re both are really looking forward to going to the ISE, seeing you and the guys and just having a great time. Also, looking forward to the new year and new videos. Thanks again for great content. Keep up the great work. 👍
