The Bass (and Catfish) Factory

[@josephvillalobos09]

I have been watching all your old videos to pass the time while waiting for your new content. I have to say, you're probably my favorite content creator on KZbin. I appreciate the videos. Keep it up

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you sir! Plannin on it

[@hankcogburn2600]

A couple of those bass would’ve been my PB.

[@nicknackdaddyack]

That’s all I can afford is paddle only kayak lol! Tons of fun.

[@robbiewilliams7098]

Your right about paddle only fishing. Wind is your biggest challenge.

[@gumby0078]

Paddle kayak fishing is great for the casual fisherman. As I got into tournaments, I realized I needed a pedal.

[@robbiewilliams7098]

I did a few tournaments and realized I couldn't cover enough water on big lakes

[@elizabethsumpter9129]

👍👍 Cool to see you in an inflatable paddle kayak.

[@fisherfolk777]

Love how your talking like the snoring folks turn to gremlins at night so y’all lock em up lol 😂

[@dontnonowuno9953]

I've seen you slam so many good ones at clear lake on the black and yellow popping frog over the years in the tulies/grass its weird not seeing you even throw it now.Glad you got on a few good ones👍

[@got2coachemall]

Paddle gang! My first YAB season I qualified for the TOC and made top 21 at camanche with just a paddle yak lol. Kinda miss the paddle days but man being able to stand and fish is worth it on those 7-8 hour tournament days.

[@stevebaker8138]

Greg on the top of the pump there’s 2 tabs that you can press in that will allow you to use a larger canister on the pump. It takes half the time and then you can fine tune the psi with the smaller canister. You won’t need an electric pump!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Ah, that would help. Appreciate it

[@josephcastiglione2161]

I know I’m only one of the 125k followers. But thanks for being honest & encouraging. Cheers to all the Sierra clan. 😎👍

[@gkhin1990]

Mad props for being an ambidextrous fisherman!

[@aaron45LB]

Yo greg, get an electric pump and a Jackery power bank 300 (or any power bank with a DC outlet).You can take it everywhere and inflate closer to the water. It will make your inflatable experience much better.

[@AlfredMorganFishing]

Greg you just tossed dinner back 😂

[@mattbarber4199]

The kayaks do make a difference! Enjoy the video, and thanks for taking me with you!!

[@BigGuyIn_aLittleBoat]

Love inflatable kayaks. Put a motor on one and it's fun as hell.

[@shaunhenderson2071]

Yes sir! An electric pump is a must! Good video GB!!

[@tristenboyd2824]

And love how you keep catch the fish 😂

[@youremomsvilleplayzmc9528]

Nice job cycling through baits and eventually figuring it out. Enjoy the trip!

[@clutch3shot]

Damn they looked like those winter NY bass. Crazy for them to be built like that in late summer.

[@dragons502]

Good morning Greg! Another good entertaining video.👍

[@ronwallace7563]

When you hook into a BIG catfish, in that rig you instantly just become an overgrown bobber! Thanks for posting!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

😂

[@RobertWhitaker-pd9pk]

Always entertaining. Love the dialogue. It lets us know what you’re thinking.

[@surfy4959]

Great video… you make fishing so easy!😂

[@valenor916]

Still have yet to get my yak out there on Clearlake but man it looks fun! Thanks for sharing GB!

[@joshguthrie8142]

Man after my own heart Greg…. Frog’s are not working right now, “well let me just throw a frog in there” hahahaha great video as always sir.

[@Tupadre0507]

I want to learn the knot you tie on lures. It seems a lot faster than the knot I tie and obviously works well. Do you have a video that shows it?

[@YaveWYA]

"Time for a slay ride" hahaha the view from the rear camer was funny bro

[@donkukawski8609]

Beautiful lake, beautiful morning, relaxed fishing nothing better. Fat little footballs were a plus.

[@jacquezghardy]

Lol the look back and smile as he pulled out the drop shot

[@SlothySeconds]

The reason your lakes might always seem on and off might be your focus on power fishing techniques. Up north on the great lakes region it's either you can catch them on anything and power fish or you are going to have a spinning rod in your hands all day long. having a deeper arsenal of finesse presentations might bridge that gap for you of always being able to catch fish even on the toughest days. Especially with how much pressure bass get these days i find myself reaching for my ultra light spinning tackle more and more to consistently catch fish in practice and tournament. Even downsizing your power presentations is key, Mini max chatter baits, downsized spinner baits, crank baits, single hook swimbaits. 😄 Keep killing it this year Greg your tournament results speak for themselves.

[@BassRaider]

Always love the Clearlake videos. Can’t wait for part 2!

[@Longboard-Dude]

Mr. Greg . . . "Time for a sleigh ride" made me chuckle 😆. Cool to see you add another kayak to your quiver 🤙. When I saw you manually inflating that inflatable kayak I was thinking how nice it would be to have an electric pump . . . but heck, great way for you to maintain those 18" pythons 😜. Was really hoping the frog bite would be on behind your Airbnb 🤥. "Thanks" for another wonderfully edited video and looking forward to Part 2 of this trip and to see you fish with Mr. Justin; it is always great to see you with your crew / member(s) of your crew 👊.

[@adamcawthon]

I've followed you for years! I've watched all the way back to your Dallas days. You got me into kayak fishing and 2 weeks ago... I won my 1st tournament!!! Love your content Greg! Can't wait to fish against you now!

[@86kamehameha]

being a fishermen, do you ever eat any of the fishes you catch? obviously not the bass but like other fishes. haha how about a catch and cook video? that would be different and fun to watch. haha another cool video.

[@squiglesmcgee304]

no it wouldn't

[@DiscoverBassAdventure]

I just bought the NRS KUDA as well! Demo’s it on the river and it was super stable. It’s great light rig for those quick trips!

[@2up2down45]

Gotta be one of the best channels to watch!!

[@robertweiss2391]

Hey Greg, I dont comment very often at all, I was compelled to say something this morning, I really enjoy everything about your videos, your part of the reason I Kayak fish (Native Propel 12) and purchased a Native brand. I enjoy the aspect of you bringing us along on your bass adventures. Lived up in Shasta Co. from 82' to 89' and Shasta lake is an awesome fishery. when I saw your Vids there it was so cool, I lived in Hidden Valley, super close to Jones Valley. I currently reside in NJ and again, saw your vids on fishing Lake George and also the finger lakes so this year made a trip up there to fish and so glad I did. Thanks for your contribution to the sport of bass fishing and how open you are with the knowledge of the sport to all. Ive been fishing since I was a young boy, now Im 59 going on 35 LOL. The sport keeps me young and I love it. Being a fan, if I could ever partake in a trip with you on the eastern side of the country, I now I would enjoy it immensely, as corny as it may sound. I know we share in the challenge and the puzzle solving that comes with finding and catching Ole' Moss Back Lol. Good Luck in all your endeavors, thanks again Greg, Tight Lines my friend. Bob Weiss

[@Frewsfishn]

Greg you really put that smile on my face when I watch your videos, I am trying everything I can to try and meet all my favorite KZbin fisherman and I gotta say you are high on the list! Hit me back if you see this I’d love to pick your brain and just talk about the differences between Florida and Cali!

[@jerrythao5281]

I really got into kayak fishing because of you but paddling lol. Great videos and great vibes

[@CatchEmKing]

We here now!!! Yessirrr CATCHEM KING IN THE BUILDING

[@kevinpetrarca1136]

I just bought one of those nrs inflatable kayaks for the same reason. Not much out there about them. Keep the videos coming and let me know what you think about the new kayak

[@sandybowers5085]

Always love coming along with you on your adventures 👍🏼

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks for always tuning in!

[@TheFishinMortician]

Nice to see Clear Lake back in action!

[@Bubbles36DD]

Love the inflatable content. I have 2, super stable and even have low and high seat position. I would ask if you put a skeg in, as that kelps with tracking when paddling.

[@dougmcfee8351]

What do you have?

[@bobbyhogan9207]

We sure would be interested in a full walkthrough and thoughts on the NRS Kuda 😃 I have been considering getting one. As always, thanks for taking us along. Love watching the videos with the morning coffee. I have a hard time commenting on the TV where I watch the full video. Plus it gives me the opportunity to like the videos twice 😊 👊😎

[@MarkoMygun]

Clearlake is awesome I lived there for 8 years back in the early 2000s. Loved it I had a bass boat had a lot of great days of fishing. Thanks for the video Greg can't wait for the next.

[@thatfishingnoob]

Man, it was cool seeing you on a basic yak and steering/correcting with your paddle. Good stuff GB, thanks for keeping it real.

[@hawkbearbrown]

"Welcome bayk..." - first time I've heard that Western upstate NY accent so clearly. :)

[@KenWoodFishing]

I wouldn't have even tried it once before buying an electric pump! 😂

[@uqox]

Wow!!! Loved this! That inflatable looks amazing and tough. Very, very interesting. That looks great for some of the larger lakes near me that don't have heavy currents.

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg that inflatable is so sweet to have. Really Looking forward to this tournament. It's Clearlake, and I'm hoping you'll do great. Hoping you'll pull away for that AOY this year. 💯 🛶 🎣

[@jeufuyang6261]

It was an honor to meet you at kings island marina launch. Thanks for taking the time to take a picture. As always amazing content, and good luck on your upcoming tournament. Tight lines!

[@markphilippsjr]

I'm jealous.......

[@Califishing24]

Saw the whole crew at Pardee. But I was on the other side fishing trout. So mad I didn't get a pic with the whole crew.

[@jeufuyang6261]

Their was a few other kayaks launching. As I was walking by to pay for launch, I saw his black truck and a kayak with those strips, I’m thinking the whole time like man that looks exactly like Greg’s kayak and his truck. I look inside the truck as he’s about to go park and I’m like damn that’s actually Greg! He came out the truck shook hands and got a quick pic. Didn’t wanna hold him up to long as I know we are ready to get to our spots and start fishing. Made my trip well worth it.

[@dannyvineoutdoors]

At 06:50 I'm sorry but I gotta be that guy. 😂 "They're biting". Not "Their biting" I saw your video posted, made coffee immediately and sat on my incliner instead of my normal run! 😂

[@tylerbezaire9453]

Coffee drinkers united again ❤

[@Agile47509chicken]

Cheers dude, have a good Thursday

[@danmecha]

Thanks to your encouragement on an old video of yours about left and right handed few years ago baitcastingI now can use right hand reels also. Not perfect but I can cast then switch over quickly. Still need work but thanks bro! Be cool to see you collaborate with the bigger channels

[@gurufishing5371]

This is the beginning of Greg’s new hit show on HGTV. Highlighting fishing destinations and good airbnbs to drink Sierra Nevadas at.

[@Spacecadet0730]

I'd watch that probably lol

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

I'm down lol

[@Thumpaholic]

I love how he said!!! Dude they're biting! I-dnt-care wat they R!! My fave😊

[@bassinbilliards6279]

I've had days on that lake with an underspin with completely different colors than anybody else and slayed them. I did it in Aug during the yak a bass tournament I was not part of. I only went back because the bite was soo good and most kayaker where struggling at rattlesnake with 2-5 fish and I think I landed 27 that day on the swimbait alone. Plus I did know the areas from past weekends haha.

[@cadenpennekamp2507]

Good morning Greg always happy when I get this noti in the morning

[@buddyhackleman7093]

I have 2 paddle kayaks to fish. Would love to get a slayer 12. Saving up for one but, love that inflatable kayak you got it was nice. Love your fishing videos been following you for 3 years now, thank you for always showing what you fish and how you fish. Shows me some things that I haven’t tried time to time.

[@TheAverageAngler]

I booked the air and b Looks great.

[@danielkinn782]

We need to have a poll of what does Greg do for a living. With his personality and how he conducts himself...im guess either a School teacher or hes in some sort of IT.

[@davidsalazar8699]

I love watching your videos after I get off school I tried clear like for the first time like 2 weeks ago but it was pretty tough I caught one good one but I might next year with my Jon boat and try and fish other area

[@johnhill2298]

Great content as always! Looking forward to part two! 🤙

[@davebonham798]

Another great video, cheers!

[@theboss_hoss660]

Wonder how much extra time Greg takes to setup the camera to get those awesome action shots getting settled in the BnB's. Wouldn't be the same without them!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

It's not too bad 😅

[@Nicktk87]

Every time I think of Clearlake all I see are the whitecaps lol

[@scottcameron3559]

Good times,living the life

[@Spacecadet0730]

Do you still have the Rage Menace in your rotation anymore? It's been a staple for me when i first discovered it on your channel a few years ago. You used to use it a lot. I enjoyed this video!

[@kennychao4143]

I was there last month and the weeds was crazy. I caught a few nice bass but it was tuff.

[@cliftoncrosson5877]

Using a paddle is hard some days but it's awesome to see even the professionals get back to basics.

[@fash0cs]

so so jealous man very cool!

[@mx45774]

Catfish catch and cook?

[@afryhover]

Best "catfish" channel on KZbin!!! 😂😂👍👍

[@perfectleveladventurefishi619]

Dude we gotta get you on a good creek in the east. lov the work

[@dne3142]

Hey Greg, you should bring that inflatable to NY! That would be perfect for the little lake I wanna bring you to lol, and then for cayuga, I suggest using the native lol

[@GilbertRodrigues-f9m]

great videos at this time don't own a kayak but looking can you tell me where you bought your lure covers unable to find them like to check them out. thanks

[@barrycates7360]

Yeppers, that manual pumping is for the birds. Save that for "coach" Lol 😂

[@wmweekendwarrior1166]

Good Stuff

[@kdeal5522]

Hey Greg, would you consider doing an up close and slower video showing that 3 tag end Jimmy Houston knot you use

[@cameronpascarella6896]

Sweaty palms watching that catfish near the kayak

[@bumblebeeyaj9375]

Those Catfish would of make some delicious dinner

[@vision._]

the outro of you just pumping the hell out of the blow up lmaoo

[@drhambone1598]

Soda bay is the safest area around clear lake

[@mattmercad0]

Dude I’ve been lookin for that otra vez and can’t get it anywhere in tx.

[@semoyakfishingdude3677]

Hello. Love your content and vids…. What foot wear are you wearing? Thanks

[@neiljohnsen276]

Whenever I hook a catfish, i get so excited... and then it never jumps...wah..wah..wahhh.!

[@tristenboyd2824]

What pound test you using because ik id have them fish in a lot faster than that with a jig

[@krisbeasley6649]

Oh man…. I just spent two days out there by Redbud. Absolutely brutal. I bite and I didn’t even land it. I threw everything except the kitchen sink. I cruised that whole east side. Water temps were as high as 90 degrees and visibility with the algae bloom was maybe 3”. That lake kicked my @$$. I hate Clearlake 😂.

[@mwithnoname2085]

Does clear lake have hard bottom where you were catching them on a jig?

[@robertxiong1303]

I have an older model of that inflatable. I use a foot pump, which is much easier than the hand pump it came it.

[@KONGMYANG89]

You should get a electric air pump. When is the next tournaments

[@Usuario-23]

Let’s go GB.

[@lbarcelow_fishing]

25:35 did a fish eat the bladed jig as you were pulling it out of the water?

[@jerrywarner8810]

Question: why do you fish with both left and right handed reels?

[@sakelleys]

Good morning Greg

[@lizsmith9948]

Boy, do we understand catfish and the fight they give! Glad you eventually got the bass to bite 😊 Thanks for sharing another well-edited video, especially since we have a Clearlake tournament this Saturday. Good tips! 👍

[@waynegutschmidt7586]

Do you ever eat the fish. Another great video.

[@flyslinger2]

Meow! Here kitty kitty kitty!

[@MaineStreamFishing]

I almost got a inflatable kayak… the blow up part sucks even if you have a electric one. Time lost fishing. But that thing looks sweet i can’t lie
