The Ultimate Frog Challenge (2024 edition)

[@MrJamesSnyder]

Thanks for the invite greg had a blast. Hopefully my boats running by the next one 😂

[@jeufuyang6261]

I died laughing at “it’s root beers cousin, they both like to act up” 🤣😂 that was a good 2 day tournament!

[@michaelhomdus4945]

Another great adventure, thanks for bringing us along. You guys did great, considering all the boat problems. I don't think I would have ventured that far with a water pump heating up. Looks like you guys just fell short of making some good money. 🙌

[@pigeonsofusa4262]

🤣😂🤣😂Love it...Kayak mafia stack on the boat...😜

[@tommycapps9903]

Greg whoever you are with you are so helpful and patient! Never arrogant or short no matter the situation! I appreciate that!

[@DirkDigler12inch]

Greg, the next time you need a boat man just hit me up you can literally take my boat. I hate all the engine problems you guys having to fight the wind in the little tin boat. Just take it out and go fish. An win

[@Abe_Sinclair]

Yeah Greg, take Dirk's boat next time!

[@sethblackburn5346]

Don’t do it Dirk! Your boat will start to turn an odd rootbeer color and it will never run right again once greg sets foot in it. Lol

[@evansnipes7473]

Yeah Dirk hates his boat 😂😂

I know , first Root Beer and now this boat too . Greg , you got some bad luck on bass boats, bro . Keep on keep'en on . 👍👌🎣

[@oakland-as-diehard6717]

Props to the 1st minute of the video an acknowledging the life of a boat owner “ Root Beer still in the hospital “ and “ motors down “.. The perfect example of the acronym for BOAT “ Bust Out Another Thousand “.. Makes now being only a kayak owner a bit easier to sleep at night 🤣💯 🚤. Great video as always Greg 🤛🏼

[@BobbyOfEarth]

The bite @21:25, on the end of that island, is the typical delta big bass area. Those dark green Tully's are growing on a root shelf, and depending on the direction of the current and speed of flow, some of the largest bass on the delta will lock into the deeper holes below that shelf, in the current break. I usually motor into position from down current, then flip/pitch a tasty bait... I caught my PB (13.2) on Dec. 29th

[@garymueller6488]

Way to make the best of your situation. Good for you guys.

[@Widgeonwatcher]

Casually rolling a fatty at 29:00 on the BnB counter is epic.

[@danielholmgren7739]

This channel helps my brain for some reason thanks. Some day i will fish all day. : )

[@90Garfield]

Dudes, you gotta take care of the outboard!!! It has to show its pissing indicating cooling water is circulating. Clean off weeds! Replace cooling pump impeller annually or more often depending on hours of use. Trim motor properly. Motors are EXPENSIVE, TAKE CARE OF THEM!!

[@LeonStjames]

ok, dad

[@ButcherIsBlackrock]

knucklehead that doesnt take care of his motor..lol

[@michaelteaby1160]

I’m so glad to see that you are finally throwing the Spo flappin’ Frog! i’ve been commenting for quite a while for you to use it and put the time in with it. I live in Bakersfield California and so far this year I have caught multiple eights, sevens, sixes and fives. Last year a 9 1/2. Believe me that frog is amazing. It catches big! Put the time in with it and I promise you you won’t be let down. There’s a handful of different ways to fish it and they all produce. Good luck and always enjoy your videos. Hope the one day with you.🙏🏼👊🏼😎

[@Jerms84]

Fun tournament, I ‘ll have to get in on this one of these times

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Poor Greg, always getting blamed for the boat jinx. "Are we sinking Dude" 😂 Greg you should test the dragon fly, on your Yak. I have three of them. You guy's did great, in this tournament. Top ten, 7th place. 💯 🎣 😎

[@Casitascrawlers]

The curse of Greg😂 before you guys even started I was thinking she looks a little weathered. I don’t know why but the bas seem to love the black colored frogs.

[@thatfishingnoob]

Glad to see y’all place. That was some sick fishing.

[@jasonmartin9985]

Yes I’ve been waiting for this

[@alexrivero3299]

Thanks for bringing us along. Always enjoy your videos.

[@JeffSlayter-ki3db]

Always a bonus when you can overcome boats issues and cash a check. Great job fellas.....cheers

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

Great video bud congratulations on the finish I enjoy the frog only videos but something about you and boats there always seems to be trouble lol

[@granvillej3316]

There is nothing more exciting than waking up and watching a Greg Blanchard video, but when you share with us another amazing frog only tournament I am blessed! Watching you fish from a Jon boat or full sized bass boat is just another awesomeness I want to see more of! Your a kayak angler and my inspiration to follow your foot steps is because you have opened my eyes to this great outdoor sport! I would love to see you tackle the tournament trail on a bass boat one day and compete on a whole different level like Kristine Fischer! I think you are at that pro angler level you can compete equally on that level and can experience something amazing! If not then I will be satisfied with your kayak tournament just as well! Thank you Greg for sharing another amazing day on the waters tight lines take and God bless!

[@matthewkooyers6599]

Be cool to see you make a jump to the bigger boat tournaments ya'll did really good congrats

[@lizsmith9948]

Glad to watch another winning video on the Delta - I recovered from Covid and was able to make sense of what was going on LOL! Congrats on improving from the previous year and overcoming the boat problems. Things happen, right? It's always great to see you with your buddies on a weekend adventure. Thanks for the share 😊🎣😊

[@maxescamilla4597]

Bottle of Advil is key after a long day. Good job fellas!

[@mattyg5566]

Bad ass! Great stuff as always, Greg!!!

[@TheBookman51]

Gotta try the Lunkerhunt frog. If the Croatian frog did well because of the legs, then the Lunkerhunt will too

[@bigguyinalittleboat7927]

Should be changing the impeller every year and always change it when you buy a used boat.

[@czykrepublic4323]

Even with "frog only," Greg is changing rods every 30 seconds. LOL

[@ButcherIsBlackrock]

Damn right., that’s why we have 30 rods.. 10!of your a kayak guy

[@Azamorafishing]

Bam got some cool points today lol

[@F1Hopeful]

Wow. Very well done!!! My brother and I drove up from socal and fished it. We had a recurring mechanical issue that limited us in terms of where to fish. We still had a ball!!!! We caught little shorts as well as two keepers on Saturday. Sunday we got stuck in the grass smack in the middle of Frank’s right after blast off, second flight. Took us about 45 minutes to get to water deep enough so we could clear the Gordian knot of grass around the prop and😮 move on. Got to fish the Delta finally!!!!!! What a waterway!!!!!! Very cool. We plan on fishing the Big Bass Challenge if work and family allows for it. Nicely done on completing the limit with all of the issues. Our mechanical stuff started acting up once we were far away from launch on Saturday. This had never happened before but of course in a tournament everything happens. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your weekend. Great frog video!!!!!

[@matthewirish5755]

I think this is my favorite tournament you document, Greg. Thanks for taking us along!

[@Xiktil]

Greg, I moved to Sac a year ago. Still learning the delta and stuff. But I have an 18ft tracker TV18. We can roll in that if you need a boat trip

[@garylukas3476]

Geeze Louise !!!! Love it Greg 😮😮

[@DirkDigler12inch]

Wow, just once I want him to go out on a boat that doesn’t break down

[@sandybowers5085]

This was different but definitely a fun one to watch!!! I freaked out a little bit when that otter 🦦 came up to your frog 😮! Congratulations on finishing up in 7th place 🏆 👍🏼💯See you on the next one! 😊

i keep waiting for the GYO coffee mug to come back in stock so i can get one and use it while watching these videos lol

Perfect example although a little boat issue that you don't need a $100k boat to go have some fun fishing a tournament.. Nice job guy's..

Greg thanks for the frog you gave me at UFC.

[@michaelteaby1160]

Sorry about the loss of really nice fish! Me and my partner had that happen once and we horrible. Sometimes there’s just nothing you can do about it. Anyways, good bad boys and keep it up. Always rooting for you.

[@TheFishinMortician]

Hey that went way better than last year!

[@zachturner3443]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@caedenw4]

moral of the story here seems to be: kayak > boat. 😝 at least in the kayak, you can always paddle everywhere if the motor dies on you. lol

[@ButcherIsBlackrock]

absolutely not..kayak limits you so bad...limited to calm days and close by water..cmon dude..lol laughable comment

[@tony56shooter]

Love the vids. keep it up....

Dang...you an them boats. Good job way to hang.

[@michael2one]

Greg, if ill offer up my boat as well. Its 4 years old and in dry storage at orwood. Batteries are charged up. I only take it out once month and starts up every time.

[@brianmcquinn5897]

You are using the Spro Flappin' frog!! I have been meaning to send you some of those to try for ages - buzzbait meets frog! Here's hoping they become your new confidence bait - they are fun!

[@brianmcquinn5897]

Try the white ones next time!

[@tysonc64]

If you need someone next year, I’ll drive from Az for this event!

[@northbaybassanglers1068]

Greg always busting his butt to get us great content. It’s hard to make great videos especially without your original crew!

[@jeremiahcurtis200]

18:50 hog sighting 😂

[@anvilvapered]

Unsolicited advice regarding topwater fishing - if you wait a bit longer to set the hook you'll hook up way more. The fish that miss will come back to hit it a second time. You need to take a second (more like a half second) to think about if the fish hit the lure or not, if you don't think it did just keep the bait there or give it one small jig.

[@RedCloudRoad]

wow you and boats🤣

[@badlyniceness2315]

I just sat down ,but I’m up now…

[@Rigs2Ridges]

I am getting ready to build another kayak & the folks in my life, once they hear the cost, keep saying “why not just buy a boat?” 🙄 Then, you hear Obedie, James & now Alden’s boat (and, whoever he was riding with). This confirms it all…or, it’s just that GB death touch 🤣 jk

[@ChandlerWrites]

I said it on Patreon, but this is another stealth marketing video for the Kayak Manufacturer's Association designed to get fishermen to avoid buying boats...

[@basswarrior9127]

Cool airbnb

[@gregstabryla9945]

Don't know why you need 50-60 pound braid. Never broke off 40, let alone 30#. That stuff cuts the thick stuff and casts farther. I'd like to know why. Thanks

How to destroy an outboard, know it's overheating and keep running it.

Forgot to ask, but what rod you using for frogs these days? In some of the footage the handle looked awfully long to really be comfortable.

Wasn't the last video Lawrence was in where he had an out of control trolling motor on his kayak and he was stuck doing donuts in the middle of a lake?😅

[@sethblackburn5346]

Thats it. Greg is 100% a psy op sent from Big Kayak to make people think boats are too unreliable so they buy kayaks instead.

Hey Greg. I’m a bank fisherman looking to get a kayak. I’m seeing lots of used one for sale but a new one isn’t much more expensive what do you recommend. I also don’t have a truck yet so roof rack it is or a two pick for the trunk. Any recommendations?

I heard on a frog your hookset should be up not side. Maybe that’s not correct, but I wonder if that was why you didn’t get those, or if they just didn’t take it. 36:09
