Kayak TOURNAMENT on Lake Fork (B.A.S.S. Nation Kayak Series Stop #2)

[@georgiayakangler5357]

Just getting out of the high school bass tournament world (boat captain for my son) and back into kayak tournament fishing. So many bad examples out there for the kids coming up related to honesty and integrity. I appreciate you demonstrating both here and setting a good example. Keep up the good work and great content.

[@johnnychingas3822]

Greg you are human

[@jasonyoung1999]

Kudos to you for having integrity. You won in my book 👏.

[@michaelgrant6474]

Honesty goes along way! My hats off to you for that! Great video! Tough conditions but good fish! Can’t wait till the next video!

[@Gnash-Gaming]

Integrity is everything. Mad respect because 20” fish would have made a lot of folks ignore the rules

[@xiong677]

“ I did not mike long that fish I promise you” - Greg Blanchard lololol

[@dylanschannel6275]

HUEcantRAP lol

[@timhenderson2795]

Exact comment I was gonna make

[@Justin.Hawkins]

So much respect that you showed the whole catch. It was obvious that it was unintentional, some days you win some days you lose. I'll also add that I love that whether you tear them up or you don't, you are candid about your thought process, you'll get em next time Greg, tight lines and stay safe.

[@adamcawthon]

Man, you're AWESOME! I love watching your talent as a fisherman, but I sincerely appreciate your humility. You dont edit out foul hooks, broken props and down the scorecard tournaments. You share it all: good and bad. As a new kayak fisherman, I really appreciate it, and you have a loyal subscriber because of it. Adam

[@robertcoggins5527]

Greg props to you integrity that kinda sportsmanship is awesome gives me hope for our twist country state of affairs in this crazy times

[@abombinable5nake]

I know several people have said this already, but I certainly respect the integrity, my man. Best wishes for your future fishes.

[@ninjarider84]

True sportsman Greg, this is why I watch you work.

[@Abe_Sinclair]

What a rollercoaster of emotion that bed fish saga was.... I laughed, I cried. I cried again.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha, so did i

[@mattyg5566]

What I love about your channel is the reality aspect when it comes to fishing. Thanks for all the hard work and keeping it real, Greg. Respect! "People will learn more from your failures than they will from your successes"- Unknown.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks Matty! appreciate it man

[@OhKee12]

I had a frog you could of used and some gear for bed fishing, including the Big Bites Special. Nice video. It was a tough day for sure. I had 1 fish by almost 11 also. I see my name in the top 10, finally made it in your video 😂😂😂.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

you're always up in the liked comments tho lol

[@OhKee12]

Greg Blanchard been here for 3-4 years took me long enough lol.

[@murphysdad2]

Sorry you didn't have a winning day, but this video is a winner. I learn as much from you when you don't catch fish as when you do. Listening to your thought process is absolutely the best! Your honesty puts you way above the pack. There is always the next tournament.

[@danielstafford9004]

Seeing this honesty make me so happy. What a great person you are for the sport of fishing. Good job overall get em next time

[@jeffniebanck6387]

Tough one! Props for the honesty! Ordering my extra prop today!

[@edwardmarcellais3671]

I found your channel a short time ago and find myself returning for more videos to watch. Your my kind of fisherman to watch.

[@fishingwitheddie1535]

It’s funny how in a Jacob wheeler video who is a professional bass fisherman who also puts videos on KZbin I think I saw your kayak when he was driving down the lake and I was like hey that’s Greg Funny that one of the two of my favorite fishing KZbin or’s are the same place at the same time

[@robertdiehl1281]

Greg...boy do I know the feeln’. When it starts to go south, it can be so hard to shake. Extreme challenge to anyone’s patience. Appreciate you keeping it clean no tantrums and you kept on fishing. Great video dude. Winning will come back around.

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

Tough Tourney, Greg. Glad you're one of the "Good Guys", when it comes to Honesty and Integrity. (I fish in "Stump-Laden" lakes all the time... Haven't broke a prop yet, as I don't "clip-down" the drive at the back. Maybe I'm just Lucky?).

[@brianelevated]

You won in my books just for your honesty. Keep making great videos

[@bassburglar4053]

Fishing wouldn't be so addicting if we didn't have days like this!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

so true, Matt!

[@mrbojangles6156]

Greg. Thanks for bringing integrity to a sport that doesn’t always have a lot of it. You’re the man.

[@9oneJuan]

Love that you drink Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. My hometown beer! Love it

[@TeamShoopmanPowerFishing]

Greg, it's good to see integrity on the water. Character goes a long way. Love the channel. I look forward to seeing you out there next season!

[@user-maxim_79]

No bed fishing equipment ? A hook and a senko!

[@SP_The_Ned_Master]

Props for calling director alot of people wouldnt have done that man your a literal poster MAN for what your supposed to do in tournaments #BlanchardBigguns

[@kennythao9558]

Ahh nothing better than a little entertainment in the morning from Greg the man himself!

[@thatfishingnoob]

Dude this video isn't that old but man it's wild to see how much you've grown over the years. I'm hoping to fish Fork next month.

[@nrgreenresourcesonsulting]

Tough tourneys are tough, even tougher when a fish gets denied, but it's how you carry yourself and how honorable you are when people aren't looking that defines character. Its also important that all of us in the competitive kayak work follow your example if we are to take this to the level that we want this to go.

[@Funwithhighnotes]

Welcome to Fork, where hearts are broken every day! lol. We have a place on Fork. It’s a battle to catch em. The Florida strain bass are nowhere near as aggressive as other strains. That coupled with pressure and an abundance of natural forage to eat, it’s tough figuring out what artificial lure will trick them on any given day. Yes, tons of water snakes. Every shoreline is full of them. Also, the fish you were seeing jumping were probably turtles. The lake is loaded with them and it took me a while to decipher surface movements. Sorry the trip wasn’t what you’d hoped but glad you made it down here!

[@timothybest4064]

Even when you have bad luck it’s still fun to watch...thx Greg

[@aaronspangler3482]

This dude is the goat man because of this guy I really picked up fishing as my hobby

[@mattbarber4199]

Glad you made it back safe, wind doesn't help as well, i hope u think about your go to lures, chatter bait helps u alot, plus you fish with it alot, good luck!

[@NOturtle]

Greg, glad you finally posted it. Yeah man it was a challenge on that lake. The area you fished on tournament day gets hammered so much. I stayed away from that area. You really did need a frog. Appreciate your honesty on that bedding female. Good luck the rest of the year! Tight lines

[@haihan7377]

Do you use “side view” on your finder often in the CA deltas? If so, is it THAT MUCH MORE advantages? Does it justify the cost and battery life, especially on a yak. T.I.A

[@witt2007]

I work for U-Haul. I just wanted to say Thanks! for using our pickups!! :)

[@jeffw3776]

Greg that was awesome. My wife who never fishes loved your honesty on that big fish.Seriously, you are one super guy.would love to meet sometime. Good luck next time.

[@NickGoesTrucking]

Greg if you don't mind, what do you edit with? Would love a video just showing your editing setup and process. Your skills are top notch!

[@scaleapp294]

Just a brutal day but also glad to see the honesty

[@mattw210]

Makes you a winner In my book my friend. Tough day but we all have them. Excellent sportsmanship and an inspiration to us kayak anglers. Keep it up brother.

[@jamesmcfarland4986]

It’s a super tough lake with a lot of big bass. Especially when I was there this past October the weather was insane and a lot of pressure. Love the tournament videos.

[@shawnnaylor482]

I love your honesty.

[@juanchaves2971]

Great video- Very relate-able! Anybody who has fished tournaments has had those days. I fished my but off in one tournament and after 4 hours of no bites, on a day when everyone was struggling like crazy-I got a huge 4 pounder that would have put me in the top three- Except he flopped out of my boat before I was able to record him....Ill never forget that moment!!!! Thanks for the great video very cool...

[@christianzuniga9000]

You know your in Texas when u drop shot a brush hog 😂

[@iamcris1]

Greg, I totally felt your pain. I fished that tournament. I pre-fished from Wednesday to the day of the tournament. Great video! I wished my video had turned out as good as yours. It was a big lake and location location location was key. You inched me out on the scoreboard. I am on the scoreboard right behind you. "Cristian Astorga." I fished out of a Native Titan. If you ever wanna fish Texas, hit me up!" Great video again!

[@jordanspalding6446]

You’re honesty is great! A win in my book. Most wouldn’t even think to second guess that snag. Good man

[@Caletalley]

Tough run. Great attitude as always. Better luck in the next one!

[@charlesfitzgerald3201]

Good job ,Thanks for bringing us along , honesty is always the best policy , but you’ll be ready the next time Lake fork comes up on your list , cool video 👍

[@yakoobjunior9631]

Your honesty is going to pay off soon friend 👍🏼

[@VitaminDeeTV]

That was a little tough to watch. But, that's the reality of fishing. Some days are better than others! regardless, Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next video! -D

[@SouthernSaint86]

Sup dude! Love your channel. I'm in your neck of the woods and we fish a lot of the same holes

[@VitaminDeeTV]

@@SouthernSaint86 That’s awesome, brother! I guess we have the same taste in fishing. Haha 🤙

[@musthate885]

Man, everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. The good thing is you got to experience a great fishery like Lake Fork. Hopefully you had a good time. I enjoy that you show the good times fishing and the not so good times. I know were on Stay At Home here in California, so hopefully you will be able to get on the water some time soon. Stay safe

[@rodneyhaymon3092]

Thats how lake fork goes man. I have fished that lake many times and it's either win or loose.

[@mikefurness1598]

Kudos to you for reporting that fish the way you did. I know there are some Anglers out there that would not do that. Fortunately for most of us in the plastic boat fleet I think most of us would do as you did and take our Lickin!

[@Dylan_Miller]

Hey man still enjoyed the video. Part of what’s fun to watch in these videos is your decision making and how you approach tough fishing. Sure it doesn’t alway work out, but like you said that’s fishing. Keep it up man!

[@benadams4942]

You have strong ethics, Greg. I respect that. It pays off in the long run.

[@russmorgan3563]

Greg. Love your videos. If you can remember please tell us what month you are fishing the body of water.

[@JoshuaCantuFishing]

Sup G, nothing but respect bro, good call, thanks for taking us along, looking forward to the next vid...

[@kevinsandells9933]

I would of used a brush hog for the top water if I didn't have a frog. Thanks for the honesty on the fouled hooked bass. You the man. Dont think to many people would of done that. You should get fisherman of the year for that.

[@joshchoi738]

Mad respect for not cheating man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Eric-qw4wv]

really appreciate the REALITY of fishing. Gotta have faith and keep hope alive. Attitude is everything. You'll get 'em next time. At least you are out, fishing, instead of "shelter-in-place".

[@davidmann9467]

Love the effort and attitude out there. Sometimes that's all you can control!

[@samuelwarden6285]

Dang Greg it sucks that you had such bad luck. I'm glad you kept being so optimistic about it though. Oh and that was awesome of you to be honest about that fish. 👊👍

[@jacksullivan1091]

I got a kayak on Christmas and was wondering what tips you have for fishing off them and what I should buy for the best results while fishing

[@bbrylinsky]

Tough day! But thanks for sharing, always enjoy your videos!

[@crowejr77]

Greg, really great call on the foul hooked fish. I know that's tough but really appreciate you doing the right thing. Can't wait for the next episode. 513

[@matteoiuri2948]

you are onestly guy...respect for you!! from italy.

[@ThisIsNotAbe]

Fork is a tough lake! At least you got out there and gave it your all!

[@TheGreatCampingAdventure]

Great video!! You a great man many out there would of just submitted the fish and not said anything. I love your honesty and glad to see good people still exist!!!

[@daviddura1172]

ok this will date me (I'm 70 Y O ) back in 1979 we went out to Lake Fork when it was still filling up, incredible amount of old growth forest that was flooded ....and small purpose built stock tanks full of florida bass that were growing up and flooded as it filled up.... TPWL did an incredible job of creating a Bass Paradise......their present paradise is Naconishe with incredible sized fish.....

[@marshall2294]

How can anyone dislike this video? Greatest lesson of all imo >> honesty

[@daveneal5727]

Never fun to have a bad tourney. But very nice to see you let TD know how fish was caught. I’m sure there are more than a few folks that would have sent it in without saying a word.

[@richardlovett5187]

Hey Greg I'm sure you will get a win next time and i just want to tell that because of you that i will start fighting local tournaments because of you thanks for the inspiration.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thats awesome Richard. let us know how you do

[@keithpinkerton2933]

Welcome to Lake Fork TX. Great fishery but can be a challenge to unlock

[@davidlaramore9345]

The first time I went to Fork I thought I would be reeling in #10 every cast. Boy was I wrong. It's still fishing. Nice vid!

[@judchappell3073]

Are you fishing the tournament again this weekend at Lake Fork? I have a place a Lake Fork Marina and am looking forward to meeting some of the guys in person that I follow on social media and KZbin.

[@pingeye8]

Hey Greg. Enjoying the videos. What cold weather/wet weather suit are you wearing? Thanks.

[@shawnking6270]

Love the honesty!! Would love to go fishing with you here in AZ

[@BassRaider]

I was excited for this one. Man we’ve all had those days! Then you hook up to a giant and it’s foul hooked. Frikin typical right! Thanks for grinding and working hard to give us great content Greg!

[@joshuafoster9945]

I live 20 minutes from Lake Fork!! Best Bass Fishing in Texas Hands Down!! If any of you have yet to experience it you’re missing out!!

[@megawatch8625]

Chips and Dip on deck...Pressing Play right ..Now 😎

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

We have those days bud just have to stay on the grind awesome video

[@smashjm16]

Solid video, great trip. Tough fishing but still jealous, keep at it

[@BrianHillmanFishing]

The bite definitely changed on tournament day unless you were targeting bed fish. The stagers pushed back a little after the sun came out and all the boats arrived. I had to throw a Tx rigged baby brush hog in California 420 as well to catch all my 15 inchers in the afternoon! lol

[@sstig13]

Lake Fork can be brutal man. I have a kayak tournament there tomorrow we are having to do things weird with the virus thing going on. No meetings in person, drive through style pay in for entry fees and weigh in and payouts will not be together either. I’ve still never put a limit together on that lake and it seems crazy being one the most famous lakes in Texas. So hoping for some bites out there tomorrow.... stay safe and healthy sir. When this virus stuff finally comes to an end it would great to have you come back to fish another event in Texas and maybe I’ll get to meet you.

[@christophersawczyk]

Much respect! I hope you had safe travels home.

[@Kast2Katch]

Your videos are great! It’s be awesome to bring you to good ol TN and take you on a river float!

[@nickcosta88]

Let’s get it Greg...🎣🎣🎣...Can’t wait for 🐸 season on the Delta....

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Way to grind man. Good luck at the next one.

[@derekblanchard4]

Thanks for another great video Greg, Keep your head up it happens to all of us but at least you got the stink out of the yak.... Tight lines brother

[@johnnysaechao6218]

Derek Blanchard u guys brothers by any chance? Just wondering

[@derekblanchard4]

Lol, not that I'm aware of, but you never know maybe somewhere along the lifeline.

[@ichabod13]

Top 100! Still a good experience and props to you for the honesty.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha, half glass full I like it!

[@ethancampbell3742]

What kind of Kayak do you like to run in tournaments? I’m looking to buy a kayak soon.

[@bmalone0688]

Cool video. You were in the right spot just a tough break. The pocket that MDJ won his round in MLF was right behind you at some points which I'm sure you knew.

[@mc_bassin_lhc]

Did that prop hit a submerged tree that caused it to break?? Also your honesty is amazing!! Loved how you handled that and called the director immediately!! Kudos to you man, awesome video and it looked like a great experience!! Hats off to ya 😎🙏🏼🎣

[@leochang3686]

Thanks for the trip!!! I think a burrito would be the ticket next tourney. Peace to you

[@Frewsfishn]

No pressure but you need to win my friend! You're good ja hear

[@devinhoyt2270]

Your brush hog is my top bed bait besides a tube on a half ounce weight man, bedded bass love a brush hog never seen a hog on a drop shot though great idear

[@larryjones5295]

Greg I don't know if you remember our prior conversations about Lake Fork Maybe last year, I fished fork for 10 years at a little caney they love 10 inch power worms black and blue fleck keep that in mind next time you go good luck.

[@kendawg44]

most would have just took a pic and kept it rolling. tough move, need more honest ppl like you in this world.

[@Adventures101.]

Props to you big time for being honest that was cool
