Fishing will teach you patience and perseverance. Fishing with friends will show you whether or not you can be happy for someone else's success even if you're not doing well! I love to watch you all fish together and help one another figure out patterns and conditions! Another dope video man!🔥🔥🔥🎣🎣💪🏿💪🏿

Same, I've always liked Sierra's beer, but I definitely buy it more often now since they sponsor GB.

I'm typically not an IPA fan but ever since Sierra hooked up Greg and friends I've picked up some Haze and Pale Ale because of the video due to how awesome Sierra Nevada has treated you guys.

sad to see the water level so low, used to go out to oroville all the time but ever since the droughts i haven’t been back

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

if u see fish usually side ways and there isn't a bed there or u see two of them and there just swimming around near rocks and wood but going sideways. It's usually because they're unpacking their eggs to spawn soon.

love ya Greg! also love that Hmong guys are killing it over there as well. Hello from Minnesota!

[@smokin2000]

...its to bad this lake does'nt produce bigger fish...

[@tylerplourde2993]

Instead of adjusting your drag every time you catch a fish why not set it prior to casting so you don't always have to mess with it? You will catch more if you focus on whinding rather than pausing to adjust. Works for me. Get that fish in fast bud

[@ronaldmcdonald3965]

Maybe do a video on full sized/heavy kayak transport, and what you experience/thinking is. Looks like trade off is get full sized truck to carry large kayak in bed vs. pulling a trailer. BTW, I will pick up some Sierra Nevada for doing you a favor.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

For sure, I avoid trailering the kayak at all costs lol

[@ronaldmcdonald3965]

@@GregBlanchardFishing What is your opinion of the necessity to get a Full Sized Truck (RAM/Tundra/F150) vs mid-sized like Tacoma. The maximum bed length of a Tacoma is 6 feet.

Congrats Greg!! I’ve been fishing since I was little but I had always used my dads stuff. I’m starting to get my own gear but I’m not sure on one thing and was hoping you could help me out. I’m looking into getting a top water rod (mainly for a frog) but I’m not sure what to get cause I’m kind of on a budget. And the other thing that I want to be able to use that rod for is punching cause like I said I’m on a budget. In your opinion what might be a good rod and reel setup

First one was just a straight pearl, the second one which worked had a green back which I think looked more like the bait fish in this lake
