Good morning sir.

Mornin everyone

[@billpugh1548]

Hey I was wondering what brand life jacket do you have? 2:59

[@gabescoffield]

PERFECT example of why you ALWAYS should have a jig combo with you! It seems to come in clutch for me every time the bite dies

[@danramzinski2957]

Greg your one heck of a fisherman. Love the way you document these tournaments as you go. I feel like I’m fishing the tournament with you. Awesome!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Dan! I still have so much to learn but thats one thing about this sport thats cool, ya never stop learning and every day is different.

[@MaineStreamFishing]

My favorite series you do brother! I learn the most from this because its in my state and i try everything you are lol

[@607pages]

Nice work on the video and catching fish. Thanks for taking us along.

[@mattbarber4199]

That's awesome! U always have a positive attitude that makes a difference! That's why u are fun to watch! Thanks for the excitement!!

[@donfoddrill2697]

I love it when you get on a jig bite. Almost as much as when I do 😂. Awesome

[@adammead8197]

Dude.. well done bud. Love the debrief. Cheers

[@johnengel4968]

Good morning! Just woke up and hooked the boat up. A little pre fish GB video always sets the mood! 🎉🎉

[@scottbostic6247]

That's what I said. It is so cool to get excited from his videos. Next thing I know, I'm loading up and have a plan in place. 😂😅😂.

[@BubbaBassAnglers]

Great showing man! Glad to meet you in person. THANK YOU so much for your kind words. We busted our hump from October of last year til this first event to make it one of our best. More to come! Thanks for your support Greg!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

You as well, Torrence! You guys crushed it with this event. Hope ya come back next year

[@MarkoMygun]

Good job Greg,hey that was a REDICULOUS tournament. Kayak and bass boat tournaments on the same day sorry but that was stupid. They should have had them on different days. But you placed in the top 25 in a REDICULOUS Tournament good job man and thanks for taking us along.

[@shaynewhitehorn8389]

My timing today, was impeccable. Great way to start the morning!

[@dantecarpino7500]

Thanks for bringing us along!

[@brandonmarling7968]

Thanks Greg , like always a great video, Have a great and blessed day Sir.

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg, you really fished a great tournament. There were big numbers, healthy bass caught. That was a total mentor day for us, from one of the best anglers out there. Today i think that livescope may have given you some info. I'm a season or two away from that. But you should treat yourself bro. Great to watch epic, fun, day. 🎣 🌊 🛶

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Shoot!Just needed a practice giant to crack that top ten..nice adjustments with the jig brutha👊

[@oakland-as-diehard6717]

Previous video talks about how losing the black / chartreuse square bill might have been a good thing. Proceeds to catch his early fish on a black/chartreuse square bill. 🤷🏼‍♂🤣. Sometimes that’s how it works. Great video

[@bobbyhogan9207]

Thanks for taking us fishing with you 😎 I am sure that the Cally swing will do you better 👊

[@Cam-NORTHBRANCHOUTDOORS]

I live about a hour and a half south of Cayuga... my favorite finger lake by far, seems to fish the best!

[@maddmannziggy89]

The G-Man never disappoints!!! Up until your videos I thought New York was only good for smallies!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha, smallies are definitely plentiful in NY as well. Saved the brown one for the last trip

[@TimothyFishing35]

Watching this while waiting for the ramp to open before I fish! I always keeping me excited to fish Greg! Great video!!

[@sandybowers5085]

Another great video, Greg! Thanks so much for taking us along on your adventures!! Great tournament!!! See you soon!!!👍🏼❤️

[@KDGFishing]

Man I've been working some long hours and I jumped back into your content on tournament day. Lucky me. Thanks for producing these high quality videos. 🤙🏻

[@Abe_Sinclair]

You know Greg has a good fish on when he is whispering! 😂

[@brucepreston3927]

I'm excited to see how this turns out! I love the early morning uploads!

[@joshwhite8055]

That 17.25 One leg Larry was a nice upgrade 👍

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

Tournament day, you got to love this, the excitement is off the hook!😎🎣

[@funnyturtles8954]

Greg, you fish for me in spirit

[@scottbostic6247]

Excellent showing Greg. 21st isn't 1st but nothing to be ashamed of. I think it was a good call going to your jig when you did. The things you teach me by doing it is awesome. Much gratitude. It helps me so much when I see your video's. I need that excitement that you bring to get me out on the water as much as fish these days and for that, I'm also grateful. Keep up the awesome fishing and videos.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks, Scott! fish on

[@tmkayakfishing8236]

Thanks for your effort. Thought you where going to end up in top ten for sure.

[@bquinn3234]

Way to go Greg, top 25 is nothing to hang your head on. Especially when considering you haven't been fishing east coast waters all that much. Thanks for the vid this AM.

[@chrissutton8354]

Perfect I'm over here watching old videos😂

[@AdamdangA]

Thanks for the kind words about EKF! Thanks for the support!!

[@KenWoodFishing]

Good seeing you again, bud! Great job out there. Appreciate you! 👊

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

You too, Ken! Awesome event, hope you guys come back next year

[@knightfishing]

Heading out in 30 minutes, got just enough time to watch this before I go 💪

[@SethVenableFishing]

Can’t beat Greg’s tournament videos!!

[@brooksrf231]

Morning videos are the best, great job bro🤙🏾

[@TDLEE28-125]

Man what a tournament a lot of big fish...good job Greg

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Congratulations Greg on a very nice tournament/day. You definitely did verygood considering all the people in that tournament. Good luck on your next tournament Greg.🙂🍺

[@alvinyang1709]

Always a good morning when Greg uploads a new video! ❤

[@Suhdude13]

Such a good video. Good stuff Greg.

[@JeremyTheOtter]

I’m so excited to watch this right nowz

[@Trev520]

Great content as always man 👍🏻 I’m a UK lure angler and after years of slowly upgrading my sonar from traditional, adding down scope , side imaging, trying 3D and most recently upgrading to a Lowrance Active Target system (live scope) I can honestly say it’s a game changer. It’s not useable in every situation but it will undoubtedly put more fish on your boat and your tournaments will be won by those with it. Keep up with the times and ignore those that don’t like change! 😎

[@michaelm2945]

Nice job on switching up to the jig when it was necessary, I startled my wife with a "FK YES!" when you landed that 16.50 cull 😂

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

😂😂😂

[@BobbyOfEarth]

every tournament unlocks another piece of the puzzle...

[@lizsmith9948]

WOW! As always, I was yelling at the TV (as if you could hear me LOL) It was amazing that you were able to cull with quality bass - lots of excited screaming in TV Land 😂 Many thanks for showing us how to adapt to challenging conditions. That's helpful in becoming an experienced angler. Continue enjoying your time back home 😊

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha I was excited too until I checked the leaderboard LOL. Nah, it was a fun event and a great day of fishing. Can't ask for anything else.

[@MrMarvinjjr]

“ You not no perch” lol 😂

[@BEtheFish]

Great video and great tournament, homie! Was good seeing you.

[@audin3]

Nice adjustment to the jig! The fish were holding super tight to the bottom all day

[@ron2893]

Congratulations on a respectable finish

[@Jutenas]

Love your videos! Thanks!

[@davidwilliams1805]

Great video and good job Greg! Keep doing what you do buddy. Love the content! #GregBlanchard rocks!

[@predwards8941]

Finally getting off the water and can sit down and enjoy this….hope y’all had a solid weekend gang!

[@gavinmceachern1808]

Great job mixing it up. Excellent content again.

[@brendanreich1782]

An awesome Greg video on my last day of being 20.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Happy birthday Brendan!

[@brendanreich1782]

@@GregBlanchardFishing thanks man. And today was one of the most memorable birthdays yet

[@JbairdIG]

Let's go Greg sincerely "The Dayton Metro Smallmouth Slayer"🙏🙌🔥🐟.

[@youremomsvilleplayzmc9528]

Great event and well done! Best of luck on your trip! Travel safe

[@feelgoodfishingwithhenko251]

Thanx for the desent info during the recap. ..well done

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

Always a great day when you wake up to a new video from Greg nice work bud please don’t go to livescope I hate that people spend more time looking at the graph then fishing

[@fishingwithbdawg3620]

Good stuff man. I was wondering the while time if mayby a chatter bait would have worked. Who knows. Still great job

[@surfy4959]

Great job! Always enjoy watching your videos…

[@thcollect3544]

Come fish in MN, that be a video to watch. 💯

[@callingallbassmorgan339]

That ain’t no perch! GB getting it done.😎

[@F1Hopeful]

Excelente!!!! Any idea of where the top five fished?? Sight? Coves? Looked as though you were in a main lake shoreline. Good Job Greg! Thanks so much for sharing your New York fishing adventures!!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Angel and it was a great trip! I believe most of the top guys fished up north around the bridges and some nearby areas. Crazy thing is anywhere up north this time of year can hold some huge largemouth

[@F1Hopeful]

@@GregBlanchardFishing Amazing. Very well done. I’m familiar with the area as in my motorsports days I raced at Watkins Glen and travelled the surrounds. That entire area is beautiful. Quite a contrast to Southern California. Yuk. Stay well sir.

[@FailRonHubbard]

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks! You gave me some tips on getting pics of fish on a ketch board. Today I had my PB bag 76.75 inches with big fish! Appreciate the advice! A small bag in comparison to some of yours. But my lakes pale in comparison.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Hell yeah, congrats Joey. It's all relative to the body of water and that day of fishing. You did great

[@vladimirofsvalbard9477]

So Glenn became a professional fisherman? Interesting!

[@kirkmackenzie4425]

Great job sir. What was the crankbait with the orange belly? Good luck always, and thank you.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Kirk! Yep, it was a berkley squarebull in the firetail green craw

[@scottnorthshorekayak]

Putting this on the 55” screen😁👍

[@jaecubed592]

Well done sir!

[@justdoitmang1]

Hands down, my favorite yak fisherman. Love your videos. I have my og friend Clint for telling me about you! I'm based in San Diego if you're ever in town please hit me up!

[@johnolivas9984]

Nice showing! Way to adjust!

[@bjheff14]

Yo Greg, just got to fish Kentucky Lake and got skunked. I had hits and follows but no takers. I threw everything at these jokers.... Anyway, keep up the great work....🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Dang man, not sure whatsup with that lake but hopefully it gets on the rebound soon.

[@OPMDS1]

Hey Greg! Good to see you! I've noticed in your tournament videos you sometimes don't know if a fish will keep or not. Instead of taking the time to get the yellow board out have you considered using the pole already in your hand with a small 12" marking on it just to check before pulling the board out? May save some time and headaches! Good luck and see you next time :)

[@jkell411]

I've commented before on this, but Greg needs to put some 12-14" markings right on the side of his kayak as a quick reference for fish size. Put a couple marks right on the inside of the boat where you bring the fish up to so you can quickly measure it up. Super easy and convenient.

[@daniellemoyer7137]

Greggg add it to the tournament playlist!! 😊

[@puvlea83]

Been getting more confidence in the kayak managing 2 rods. Always get the bite when I'm tied up messing around with birdsnests. And getting the lines twisted. I'll either snap off from setting the hook too hard. Or not penetrate and lose the fish when it's pulling me. So many frustrating days, but when I do catch a good one, all the frustration melts away. Had a planned trip today, but 50+km winds is keeping me outta the kayak. Damn. Time for a greg video.

[@blackwolffishing4183]

You and B lat got to make a kayak video together great work Greg on your videos brother

[@Sgt6217]

20:40 standard way to fish a football jig?

[@brendanlee8287]

awesome to watch. were you in the north east region of the lake. I am heading up there this week if you have any suggestions on where to fish. Thanks

[@ifightfishcalifornia831]

Thank you Sir!

[@lonestarfishing8102]

Is that the 705 Dobnys cb 👀 love that rob for shallow cranking

[@richardgagnon71]

Living in the Northeast US, was surprised you focused on largemouth, but understand that fishing offshore is difficult in a kayak where the smallmouth reside.

[@federicoreveles8716]

Good video and Greg where’s your dolly?

[@nataliedeyton6829]

What’s the ruff estimate of weight of a 21 inch fish ? I have never measured a bass I just weigh them

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Really depends on how fat the fish is which usually coincides with time of year. In the spring, in general, a 21'' fish should be around 6 pounds

[@Allen.kiperjr]

Where did you get that tether lesh for your phone that's awesome

[@donkukawski8609]

Rogue fishing makes a good one.

[@Rodrig1]

Your bag in New York could’ve placed you in the top 10 in California.🤙😎

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha that is true

[@flyslinger2]

“You’re no perch!” Please don’t go livescope. You will loose me.

[@JbairdIG]

It seems that a perch style bait would have caught a giant.

[@Carsonhunts]

Why do u not use any Shimano brand reels

[@rccreative304]

crazy im from sac moved out east and headed to cayuga next month any tips looking for smallmouth

[@SlothySeconds]

2:53 Jump scare. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@CannonPulliam]

What rod where you using on your football jig?

[@GeovaniMeira]

top da pescaria

[@joshuapogue4849]

why do you hit your fish tracker when you catch one?

[@BromanderData]

Greg, what is the lanyard thing that you have your phone connected to? I don't fish while kayaking but I almost never use my phone because I don't want to drop it.

[@mikem8502]

Did you start using Dobyns again or are those rods you just kept in NY?

[@IowaLayoutman]

Killing me Greg. Swim that jig....a lot of ways to fish a jig. Dragging is just one. Question: Your prefishing was done under cloudy conditions. With the tournament being bright and sunny it's my experience that the fish will relate tighter to cover the brighter the day. Did you slow down in your 2 good areas and fish all of the shallow laydowns seen on the bank?

[@brianrasmussen2282]

How you go from the delta to new york?

[@garysims4491]

ez lots of airlines
