Man O just brings that joy to everyone around! His personality is contagious.

[@maxwellhoward3388]

Greg, I really appreciate your interaction with that fan. He was such a nice guy and you were so kind as well.

[@mikem8502]

Bout time to get some love for big O. Dude is an absolute gem!

[@terrymitchell7714]

Still the best fishing show on KZbin, time for Root Beer to get some much needed love.

[@kensJAMZ]

O man always got good energy. wish I had fishing friend like him, always positive and chuckling around. It's nice to watch these videos where these are just your average everyday fishermen, no fancy boats, just enjoying some time fishing. Fish with what you got & enjoy the moments! Keep it up greg, I'll watch you over any day over "googan squads"

[@jonkeating5639]

We can't get O a boat sponsor? Rootbeer is a trooper, but her days are done. What executive wouldn't want O as a spokesperson. Dudes energy is unreal.

[@db9818]

That ain’t his only boat man 😂

[@AlmadenJeff]

Greg just needs to move on a better boat. That Ranger is worn down and appears to need an overhaul, and the outboard rebuilt.

[@jonkeating5639]

@@db9818 it's the only one I've seen him use on the channel. Why use it at all if you have another boat?

[@travisbruno1988]

Time flys dont it. I remember this tournament last year. Thanks Greg we appreciate you guys

[@pimperatze]

Other boat is still in the shop. Both boats are down now

[@Longboard-Dude]

Mr. Greg . . . So WONDERFUL to see Mr. Obedie again . . . his enthusiasm is so infectious 🤙. I don’t know what was more suspenseful . . . waiting for a big top water frog hit or wondering if Root Beer would get you and Mr. Obedie back to the launch. Loved your guys’ “half glass full” outlook especially Mr. Obedie’s comment . . . “Root Beer saying you guys are passing the fish” 😂. Mr. Obedie did a vid with Brian Latimer a few months back (Mr. Brian visited the Delta from back East) and Mr. Obedie used his “nice” boat. The next time you and Mr. Obedie go out, maybe you could request that you two use his other boat 😜. Great to see Mr. Obedie again and “Thanks” for another enjoyable vid.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha yessir, great to kick it with O again and enjoy a couple days out on the water. Some obstacles for sure but we still had a blast. Can't give up on rootbeer tho, one of these days she'll take us to the top! Haha

[@KrisRochettee]

@gregblanchard kept the voice camio in the vid! You guys are so much dang fun! It was so nice meeting you guys. Can't wait for some revenge next year!

[@cameroncardoza5626]

Was a messed up tournament indeed!! 😢 Blew my lower unit as well! Bite was horrible! Great to see 👀 you guys in my old boat! We'll get her back in the winners circle again!! Tight lines from the San Joaquin Bassmasters! 🎣

[@OptimizedOutdoors]

As long as you're on the water fishing, that's all that matters. I miss my old trolling motor boat. That thing made more memories than any other boat/kayak I've ever been in. Great tournament guys and awesome video as always.

[@maddmannziggy89]

Any video with the G-Man and the big O make my day and make me smile. We need to get O a new killer boat!! He definitely deserves it!

[@channel2drew983]

The joy laughter to just be on the water with O glad y’all get out n do this keep it going

[@mattbarber4199]

At least you guys were safe!! Trolling does make it slow, but u guys make it look fun! Thanks for letting us go with you!!

[@mikejacques8863]

Greg says “We were planning on going south today” Rootbeer: “Hold my beer, this shit is going south fr’real”

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

🤣🤣🤣

[@MarkoMygun]

Oh well hey you guys got to spend time together and have some fun. I agree O needs to spend some of that Podcast money on the boat. I remember him saying something about a new boat ??? You landed one though GB

[@Lethal1160]

O is really always seeming to love life, regardless of the situation. Seems like a great guy

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

O's the man! No bad days on the water with him (and rootbeer too🤣)

[@Lethal1160]

@@GregBlanchardFishing buddy the legend of root beer is gonna live on, gotta get her a new motor and she will run like a stallion

[@jessj4150]

O’s head and heart is in the right place. His life is in order has his priorities squared away outlook on life is so aloha. The world needs more people like him.

[@scottszczechowicz5699]

O needs to spend some coin on the boat..😁

[@northbaybassanglers1068]

Lol he has another boat. Riding root beer till the bow falls off

[@northbaybassanglers1068]

Yeah O needs that boat sponsorship! Running it outta fuel the day before probably jacked it up

[@northbaybassanglers1068]

You have to put together a GB & O blooper reel! Catch board and root beer mayhem 😂

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Well boys, it went sideways. I still enjoyed it. You guys will be back with "Root beer" for sure, with revenge. Greg caught some big boys in a frog only Tournament, not too long ago, on the Delta. You're both great anglers, and the Delta has been tough lately. Especially throwing just a frog all day. Plus that's O's home lake! 😎 🌊🎣

[@billywilliams3527]

Love it when you guys get together, so much comradery, respect and fun! AND I LOVE YOU ROOTBEER!

[@paulziebell2479]

The dynamic duo is back...slayin bass frog style!!! Nice vid!!!

[@JoeKirkFishing]

Look forward to this video every year! Keep it up guys!

[@Kaiu]

We love to see O!!! Always such a pleasant energy to be around! Tough tounry tho!

[@sdka4488]

For real. Ranger or Skeeter, are you listening ?😂

[@tommypv2]

Dang. Great reality TV. Entertaining even when your adventures take a turn.

[@PBandJellicles]

Obie talkin bout root beer dying he goes, “keepaka keepaka keepaka keepaka”! Try and say that 5 times fast. 😂

[@lizsmith9948]

Sorry that you & O had such a challenging time, but at least you caught a bass 😊 I think the Delta makes victims of us all: we finally got the lower end of our Ranger repaired, but still waiting for the prop after some rocks attacked us. 🙄🙄🙄 Better luck next time - stay safe 🎣🎣🎣

[@travismaxwell9115]

O that guy that knows EVERYONE.😂😅😅

[@Longshot3531]

Those old school buzz toads look deadly! Great video from the boys as always!

[@tharodfather7647]

Love your Vids Greg.. O is a plus, love his attitude

[@kwy1980]

O needs a motor sponsor! Come on Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki!

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Root beer has not been a bad boat! You got to get her fixed, she is a classic! 😂

[@tdot4670]

I love O lmao yall together iconic duo

[@valenor916]

Root beer noooooooooo!!! Haha GB your state of the art graphics for that O story of getting stranded was straight comical 🤣

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

That one took a minute but totally worth it lol

[@MickeyMauz1]

I envy you for having Mr Williams as your friend. And can't spell Root without an O. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@jaydog909]

It was great to do you guys. It was a tough tournament. We only caught one keeper in two days.

[@robertavila4810]

Great video Greg and O always positive no matter what

[@tmkayakfishing8236]

Out of gas! Lol, Sounds like Root Beer. That boat keeps ya on your toes, that for sure. Lol Good Times!

[@kerrypitt9789]

If you are going to have trouble, Obadie will lighten the burden! You two make a good pair! Greg, those bass are truly Delta Bass! Difficult as all get out. Do you think you would ever consider boat fishing full time? As much as I like the idea, I am more of a solitary fisherman and kayaks would suit me. How about you,?

[@fishing_life_ca]

I love that boat vintage carpet LOL

[@thatfishingnoob]

5th!! Dang it lol. YESSSS I was just talking with some folk on a kayak fishing group about you and fishing with O again lol.

[@bigkat650]

Man, tough one. Poor ol’ Root beer has performance issues around Greg 😂. It’s all good though, the love and energy makes up for it.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

😂😂😂

[@meldyang_kayak]

We all need a friend like O

[@chukchansi4272]

Rootbeer! An oldie but goodie!

[@sharkmize3597]

New video series GB. Rootbeer rebuild! I know O could get stuff sent his way.

[@JoseTores226]

Is it just me or do I wait for the root beer meltdown every time lol😊

[@deanrogers7373]

Memory's love it good friends havingfun

[@GaryzillaOutdoors]

Tough day but at least you had good company! Sometimes if this fish aren't biting the person you're fishing with can make it an overall positive experience. Also, have you ever tried the scumfrog? It's been my go to frog this year!

[@donkswampey3874]

Entertaining video as always fellas. Can we start a gofundme to get that man a new boat haha. She’s a classic but it’s time to move on 😂

[@ImThinking3]

Hiccups happen, but this was still entertaining! Glad to see O again!

[@markphilippsjr]

The boys are getting some celebrity status, well deserved at that.!

[@jimichill916]

Someone hook the boys up with a new boat! Free promo! And they deserve a new Root Beer! Lol

[@chanceyang6309]

The O.G duo is BACK

[@markwalker6896]

I think Rootbeer is jealous sharing o.

[@ds-zd9qz]

everyone needs a friend like O.

[@SuperBee039]

Poor Greg at the front of the boat…you can get that close to the money spots in a kayak…but driving that boat in that close…sheesh! Especially with someone trying to fish from the back! Always spectacular videos…these two are the best duo!

[@PRIZM_LOCK]

Sad to see O getting back boated hahaha

[@markphilippsjr]

Checking GB for bananas.😂

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

It's ALWAYS a gr8 day with O!!!

[@1RiceCrispy1]

Love the gear list in your description for every video!

You win some, you lose some but in the end its all about that adventure!

Looks like a lot of fun

[@afryhover]

"Stuff happens", if it were easy everyone would do it. Challenges make memories. Keep up the good fishing and thanks for all the entertainment 👍👍

Dude....I'm 4 min into this video and O is BS with everyone...lmao! He should run for mayor!!!! "O For Mayor"!!!!

[@pdfahie]

Very few people can sport a backwards hat and make it truly work. Big O is one of those people 😏

[@mattdgguy]

Maybe you should sage smudge Root beer and get rid of the bad juju

[@charles7878]

O is the man

[@johnolivas9984]

What an adventure!

[@shockervids]

That's fishing. Expect the unexpected.

[@dylanmcmurrey510]

Bro, that knob as a gear shifter in your truck is so strange lol

[@cheerstofishing]

It would an absolute honor to fish with you two. What a squad.

[@dylanschannel6275]

Boat: Bust Out Another Thousand😂

[@dd214fishing]

Nice video time to go shopping

[@ctgilcrest]

Root Beers more consistent than the frog bite.

[@kevinsinvegas]

GB start a go fund me for O and rootbeer! Or a boat fund. Rootbeer might need to become fish habitat.

[@Jerms84]

O, so that’s what they look like 😂

[@ctgilcrest]

Maybe A&W or Mugg Root Beer will sponsor Root Beer for a delta makeover .

[@FishingFanatik]

O needs a boat sponsorship Greg. Come on man hook your boy up.

[@JustGuam]

Great video! You and O are a great duo! From someone looking from outside the box, I feel like you're fishing a little to aggressive with the frogs. Slow it down a bit

[@deanrogers7373]

Been there go rootbeer 😅

[@scottcameron3559]

My boat is 24 years old I feel you rootbeer,duct tape zip ties and super glue

[@stevegrenot5289]

NO mater what .It is good to see the video.

[@Johnnyboy_.]

Easy bronco bill 😂😂

[@KamerenB]

Rootbeer is holding on strong. 😅

[@maxwellhoward3388]

Greg buy rootbeer a new motor as birthday gift.

[@andrewhouseknecht7815]

Hey Greg I think you should check out the Launch Frog by Scum Frog I have had the best hookup ratio by far compared to other frogs. Usually, I hook 8/10 fish with it. Maybe worth a shot

[@aziffel4063]

His gas gauge doesn’t work, he just goes off of memory

[@luster5497]

Hey Greg, How come you didn’t downsize to smaller frogs??

[@morganvanschuyver]

O needs to give root beer some love Greg. 💲

[@FishingwithFishgall]

Obedie W. Is the man

[@jonwalker4489]

With motorcycles we gift a small bell to other bikers to ward off gremlins/ bad luck. You should gift him one to put on root beer.
