Hobie B.O.S California Delta (Tournament Day 1)

[@colinveith3721]

Love the determination! I'm actually yelling at the screen while watching! You, Mr Blanchard, are the final nail in cable TVs "coffin" at my house. Turned in all cable equipment today!

[@joegoodman9309]

Looking forward to day two! My boys (two 11 yr olds) and I appreciate your always positive attitude towards fishing. Best of luck!

[@pedrocrespomira4693]

Good luck for tomorow Greg , hope you dont miss so many fishes. You are an awsome angler , i dont miss any of your videos . Best of luck from Portugal.

[@jonk.4384]

You're my favorite KZbin fisherman Greg. Keep up the great content!

[@catchofthedave8681]

Great vid greg. My 3 favorite punch baits: netbait paca slim craw (if you want something that flutters down lots of action), Reaction Innovation Sweet Beaver (my absolute go to), and Yum Bad Momma (picked that up from you). I will also throw a Gambler bb cricket or a why not if the vegetation is super thick and matted. I think you coulda missed an opportunity where that tide was going out through the choke point where you had to lay your rods down to go under that bridge. In my experience bass always sit right on the outside of where that current blows through looking for bait and anything else to be pushed through. Ive had some of my best days ever fishing spots like that. --but you made it happen on the punch bite anyways...who knows there coulda just been dinkers sitting by that current. Awesome Vid! I love how composed you stay during a tourney. I fished a yak tourney a month ago and I lost a big right at the boat, then another i forgot the identifier in the pic.....It just messed the whole rest of my day up. I was in a bad mood, it compounded and came out in my overall effort and I did poorly the rest of day. I need to be more like you when I fish, just shrug it off and keep fishing hard.

[@KokoB1883]

Right! You know the bass were staged there and he blew right thru it! Shows the difference in fishing knowledge!

[@2575bike]

Greg ..I cant believe the boat traffic looks dangerous to me stay cool ,stay hydrated.. fish slow, good luck on the second day....

[@shawnpoteat6997]

Good job you amaze me at the fish you catch in a yak. Stay safe out there and thank you for taking time to film these tournament vids.

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Wow, tough day, lost those 3 in the morning, but you came back, enjoyed the vid, Thanks, Greg!

[@roderunnr450]

Loved the video. Been watching your content for more than 2 years. Makes me want to go fish everytime. Please refrain from saying omg in your videos.

[@cjh033]

He does so well to keep things PG when loses a good fish, lol!

[@TheSilverstonedwolf]

I usually have no other words except a long sad "noooooooooooooooooooo" :(

[@yengyang7075]

Think I’ll be using every bad word in the book!

[@KenWoodFishing]

I've heard him cuss exactly one time in the past six years or so. Haha.

[@derekschulz7813]

You stay so calm and collected on tournament days! I would be raging so hard on the missed fish and pleasure boaters.

[@jorgesanchez8658]

Gotta love those dog days of the summer on the water! Dude you rock! I know you’re going to come out swinging again.

[@j0nathan512]

The slow motion on the fish with the full bladder 🤣

[@missionfishing91]

the thunder in the day 2 teaser is chilling lol

[@vibesdasher]

I love how greg doesn't spoil if he does good or not in tournys like a lot of other creators. Like they still have good content but it's annoying ash when they're like "Winning 25k on _ lake" instead of titles like his. Keep up the great vids like usual!

[@Austin_Torres]

Great video Greg I think you had a lot short strikes due to the long trailer on the chatter bait. I’m surprised you didn’t use the worm more. Great video man I love the way you ended the video with the trailer for the thunderstorm coming. Can’t wait to see it.

[@DNaruo]

Great vid showing the difficulties that we face on the delta all the time. Also just bought one of the hoodies! Hope to see you out there.

[@TheJacobb46]

Awesome video as always buddy and that blue shirt is straight fire buddy

[@JustBankOnIt]

Hope day 2 went better Greg! From the day two trailer I'm wondering. Always enjoy you content either way!

[@peterratliff1592]

Can’t wait to see the adjustments you made for day 2

[@sstig13]

Hated seeing you loose those good ones man! That is so hard to deal with in a tournament it can really mess with your head. I kept saying to my screen just relax Greg you got this you seemed a little anxious out there. You still put together a limit and culled up. I couldn’t deal with all that recreational traffic though....ugh.... can’t wait for part 2.

[@tulsabassprofessor5009]

Love that Denali lithium your throwing bro I’m a huge Denali fan!

[@byronbrush9030]

76k already...your channel is growing like crazy.

[@poststalone1496]

Hope you’re safe from all the fires. It literally looks like fog there’s so much smoke in my area. Glad the fires will never reach me. Those freaking Chads wakeboarding that close to you can go to hell. Btw

[@jackmanfamsquad]

Happens on the time on delta

[@FishingWithFred]

It's been "foggy" here the last few days as well. Stay safe everyone. What a year

[@deonnawilliams4903]

Greg Grinding Blanchard. You right Anything can happen. We’re with you and I’m about to click on Day 2 super excited to see how we do. OKAY YeeTaDee... Obie in 3rd lets go boys top 10, if not for the win.

[@ADKMuskyFoolonFly63]

Hey Greg, thanks again for yet another fun video. Nice fish under those pads. Great perseverance on your part as always. Question about your boats. I know you love the Native line and of course they make great boats. Have you ever tried a Hobie PA12 or 14? I am not a Hobie rep. I do use a Hobie outback. I was just curious what drives your choice in boats to Native and why would you choose Native over Hobie? Not a criticism just in question to learn from how you choose your kayaks. Thanks, Scott

[@j.c.4438]

I have a question...on those fish where you try to set the hook with your chatterbait but somehow the hook doesn't catch their mouth (ie. 14:06), why don't you quickly transition and throw your punch set up in that same area? I know I've been taught this and I've come up with some great results. Just thought I would pick your brain.

[@datruthhurts3984]

I could feel the heat coming off that water!good grind brutha

[@connorlenderman7593]

Im over here studying for my first day of PT school tomorrow, but I have to watch some Greg Blanchard!!

[@L0rd0fTh3N3rdz]

Greg "Butterfingers" Blanchard. Man, rough go. Between the missed hooksets amd giant loud boats you had a lot working against you. Well done on the placement still.

[@BobbyOfEarth]

That sure looks like Victoria cannel, ..we've done very well in there with blk/blu Senco's, early in the morning ..before the afternoon traffic.

[@edgarashford2283]

At least you gave yourself chance to win this tournament. Good luck, 👍👌🎣.

[@TAStormChasing]

Getting the yak ready as I type. Thanks for the uploads.

[@daltonjoe9443]

You already know I had to get me a mondo on bass fishing shirt, sticker and a royal blue mondo tee 🤟🏼 your prediction for day one was a pound of ass well, the knowledge💡

[@stevekirst865]

You need to win to come to Knoxville TN! Get on it!

[@FishingWithAlexS]

Holy smokes! First place went off! The random cast helped you a lot! You should give blade runner’s underspin a chance during the higher tide. Pair it with white 4” keitech and work the islands! Big ones seem to hit it well! Could possibly be something different they do not see often. I catch them bouncing off structures. GL brotha!

[@F1Hopeful]

Excellent as usual. Conditions looked brutal. Thanks Greg. Can’t wait to see day 2. Looks like the end of the world was closing in!!!!

[@calhoyt4217]

Can you do a video on how you have you fish finder set up on the yak.

[@rodneylloyd8696]

Ok greg im a huge fan also i fished on the pro circuit for years i would like to offer some advice on your hookset please pull up not sideways on your hookset the kayak is small so it moves toward any force reducing the hookset you have to unlearn the side arm hookset

[@AVHobbies2011]

Keep it up Greg! Will be rooting for you!

[@LeenWithMe]

That was probably the first time I seen in your videos, you did seem to be fishing a little faster than usual. But glad you survived and Good Luck!!

[@joubert45]

You should try a weightless, its a great technique that you can throw anywhere

[@Abe_Sinclair]

Im up too and about to go fishing with a guide on Table Rock... No big deal...

[@matthewbobhottie3099]

Hey greg just got into fishing the delta. I usually fish clear lake and lake Berryessa just wondering what boat launch do you usually use. I launched out of Lodi yogi bear but not too much luck. Thanks.

[@BassRaider]

Nice dude. Can’t wait for the next one!🤙👊

[@coachlance1420]

Chatter bait was Big fish bait when I saw earlier today. # awesome.

[@coachlance1420]

I retract that statement 15.73 on the punch bite was the biggest. Great job GB handled it well hope you did great day 2.

[@BassNinja]

Good job still have a good running hopefully you can catch those fish you marked on practice.

[@FishingWithFred]

8 mins in...let's go G! You got this. Stay humble

[@lesmyers4834]

What is that tunnel? Got to be safe out there!😜

[@cindyharding574]

Hey Greg...how shallow can you cruise in your kayak before pulling up the peddle prop?

[@1davejames1]

Greg what type of fish measuring plank is that? I like how the orange shows up good. Do you have a link for that?

[@The.Tattooed.Angler]

It’s an Orange Ketch board, can find them at www.ketchproducts.com

[@JenkinsB]

just gonna sneak this in.... yeetadee!!!!!!! OB with the day 1 slay!!!

[@dandorris8531]

Keeping my 🤞lets go ASIAN POWER. Love your videos especially Kayak fishing.

[@tapeglue8315]

I like the idea of human powered only tournaments. It adds a physical fitness requirement to the tournament. Are there some tourneys that have 3 classifications - motor, pedal, paddle? Each has an aspect that requires a slightly different skill set.

[@jeffniebanck6387]

good luck greg! keep grinding!

[@darylgranger9484]

I’m telling you, the 208 senko on the Delta is hard to beat, try it

[@OptimizedOutdoors]

Stay hydrated in that heat! I really want to join a tournament now!!!

[@NFFishing1]

They don’t allow you to use your torqueedo? Awesome video!

[@sacpig6839]

OMG!! Word of the day!!! Man that's some bad luck in the beginning.

[@andyfishinguy]

Just got home from work; right on time!

[@richhenderson6990]

Can’t wait for the day 2 video. It should be electric.

[@vangboi91]

Woot been waiting!!!

[@Munkman]

oh shit, thats right, day 2 was when we got that thunderstorm... oh man, that was some risky stuff going out there. hope youre staying safe from this smoke

[@Usuario-23]

I always love those random cast 🎣 #fishon Nice Greg

[@mbarthelette1621]

I have to ask. How do you get your kayak on top of your racks? And how do you take it down?

[@Gage_Jackson_20]

What is the thing that you use to keep your phone attached to a bungee? It looks really handy especially for the kyack!

[@dillonwhitten781]

Hey Greg what’s up with some p.t an fishing recently broke my femur (plate from knee2hip&about20screws) can’t even load my yak man !!!I go 2 times week here in Redding but would enjoy going fishing next time ur up this way maybe you can fix my leg 2😂 but really !!! Cheers 🍻

[@alexmilbaugh1645]

Perfect for a last video of the day before bed

[@gotem358]

Waiting on update.. wish i was able to hit them tourney's...

[@FRANKRICECOLD209]

That first fish on the Chatterbait what's the landing violation lol

[@caliyak_fishing]

where's that little bridge you went under? give me the area or near by marina. thanks

[@peterratliff1592]

Pullin for ya Greg!!

[@christophermuniz1544]

Wow those boaters where jerks! A few of those were way too close. Texas has a 50ft law.

[@bigkat650]

Get it tomorrow Greg!

[@joshuapowell8547]

OBD IS KILLING IT LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@michaelconcato1675]

Use a trailer hook

[@ilyachernyak932]

Finally out i woke up early for this

[@zacharyspriggs4225]

Man! Those spots will really make or break your day.

[@ronnasonjr4857]

Go Get Em Greg! Tight Lines tomorrow!

[@FishingWithFred]

What does GYO stand for? Was looking at you sweet near gear and was wondering

[@BuffDaddy]

Did Greg ever happen to mention what size/weight he likes to use for his chatter bait?

[@YFZMoto]

Man to bad you could not include Wake Boarders in your bag Limit you would have Killed it :) Crazy traffic out there stay safe.

[@cheethoe]

What hook do you use for your punch setup?

[@mattbarber4199]

Good luck keep ur head up!!

[@doster59]

Good luck on day 2.

[@fishingwithbdawg3620]

You got this

[@westley87]

how are you liking the Irod genesis compared to your other punching stick

[@1iving2di3]

Good fishing and good luck.

[@ralffflames8976]

Why did you shy away from the weightless sanko??

[@TheStovall28]

Hey greg can you make another live video that would be awesome im your biggest fan

[@addisonpennekamp8533]

Thank bro I was waiting

[@addisonpennekamp8533]

Thanks*

[@colebingham625]

I am a relatively new angular and I am interested in getting a spinning rod and a casting rod. would you be able to offer any insight in what the action of the rods should be? I am bass fishing.

[@AidanSmitfishing]

7’0 medium fast spinning rod and a 7’0-7’3 medium heavy fast action casting rod

[@gregoryrappaport9180]

Obie with the juice!!! Can you explain “punching” for us undereducated anglers please??? Looks so simple. Is the reel different? You just toss that bait all over, wait for (a tug?) something, then YANK UP and reel her in? Seriously?

[@cliffordfarley30]

When it’s already in the 80s and it’s not even 7 am...omg.

[@bigbodybenz8681]

Where do you launch for the delta

[@carl3500]

Where did you launch from?

[@NOturtle]

You fishing Dardanelle?

[@steveflan17]

Does anyone know what he attaches his phone to?

[@joshua6381]

Where's the chappo?

[@gotem358]

Great Job...
