That bite at 4 mins😖 the big ones always sound so much different when they hit on top

[@mattdais6473]

Take the hooks off your topwater while pre-fishing!!! Love the vids man!!!!

8:41 Greg showing off the guns

[@80millionvotesmy89]

Greg has the best intro's. Hands down.

[@motherlodebassin5369]

I woulda gone after the mammoth...but I don't tournament fish lol

[@kerrypitt9789]

Mike's "what did I learn," was Spot On!" Well spoken Mike!!

[@kobietinsley5812]

Best kayak content on KZbin when it comes to all around bass fishing, keep it up Greg.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Kobie

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

Ndyakangler a close 2nd!!

[@dysisjoel]

The point you made about getting out there and figuring it out being more valuable than just watching videos is some real talk. I appreciate the authentic side of these tournaments you capture and value your contribution to the kayak fishing community. You have more influence than you know. Big up from a GA angler. Tight lines!

[@毅轩-l4m]

You're right. I like your point of view

[@yueher2524]

When Greg says "Did you see that?" And you can't see it even when he zooms in.

[@chrisnavychris]

EVERYTIME! im like WhAt FiSh!?!?😅😅

[@BobbyOfEarth]

He sees the fish with polarized glasses..

"Nuts to butts" 🤣 Ensign is hilarious. Love you guys when you get together. AND, a bit of "Fantastic Voyage" by Lakeside!? That's a party!

[@marcusgarcia504]

Im thoroughly enjoying watching more and more people drink better beer lolol. Them Hazy's are fire.

[@jaecubed592]

You are blessed to be able to do what you love to do with people you seem to really enjoy. Great season Greg... Tournament videos were really well done this year. Keep up the good work!

[@jamescanady3442]

Did Terrance tie dye his tackle warehouse shirt?! Lmao. Legend.

[@cecapfishing9882]

You've taught me so much over the years, thank you, Greg! I'm certainly twice the fisherman I was in my kayak from before I've started watching your videos! I do agree that going out and fishing is better than watching videos, but there is just so much you wouldn't think by yourself that is common knowledge online! I've certainly learned the theory from you and went to practice it on the water! I have a drop shot tied on all the time now lmao it's a life saver on though days

[@ianhood8081]

I have been fishing for bass almost my entire life. 30+ years, and I've caught them on damn near every lure out there. BUT, I have never, not once, ever caught a single solitary bass on a buzz bait! Even when they hit every other topwater I throw! Keep the footage coming!

[@coreyfrasnelly7364]

The smile on that order gentleman’s face when he’s with you younger guys……he’s living his best life…hits me in the feels Greg 👍🏻

[@kerrypitt9789]

Greg you were doing your best to stay focused and you did a good job! You found them by making a good choice when you needed it. Give yourself a pat on the back! You kept your focus on the goal!

[@turner427]

Thank you for taking us along

[@doster59]

That was fun. I love seeing all the guys together. Thanks for the fishing lessons.

[@travisbruno1988]

Oooh yeah late night show here in NJ. Love that your puttin these vids out so much the more the merrier.

[@sirjustis]

I’m always amazed at how much beer you guys drink, lol.

[@209bassin8]

One of those dudes has some type of affiliation with sierra nevada beer. Think his family owns it or something

[@slaunchs]

Shit that's the only thing I take more then I do lures !

[@Brunnen_Gee]

These guys really aren't that bad. When I was in the military I knew guys who would put away far more than that on a daily basis.

[@mikefurness1598]

And the funny thing is they all drink the same brand. If I was fishing with five or six of my friends would be at least four different brands of beer.

[@209bassin8]

@@mikefurness1598 one of them owns the company bro. Expensive beer too.

[@bigmac183]

It's great that you guys can have fun as "The Fellas" and fish like you guys do keeping fishing alive and interesting. I appreciate the videos and hope of posting myself here in AZ Tight lines yaw!!

[@dthao92]

At 25:50, Mike "Every cast was a backlash, it was cool" lmao

Waiting for your upload.

WHAT 4 pm on Thursday?!!! wooow LETS GO!!!!

[@kumaboyy.7443]

It's all about being out with the boys for the weekend! Nice fricken goldfish 🐠🐠! Thanks, Greg!

[@dpgw81]

I always love your tournament videos because we get to see you hanging with all the boys 🤙

[@RJB1017]

Nice, an afternoon upload… thanks Greg!

[@mitchelrhodes5074]

Still a great time brother! Hanging with you're bros and fishing. Great memories!!!

[@anthonyvespia6662]

You had another great year Greg! It's amazing how fast, a pattern changes. Love Berryessa, and all the beautiful big lakes you fish in Cali. Clearlake is my favorite. Another Awsome vid..🙏🤟🎣

[@lizsmith9948]

THAT was exciting - just like a movie! Glad you managed to find them after a grind. 😊 As always, best of luck!

[@dipster14]

🤣🤣 "oh yea, nuts & butts in here!" Love you guys and the crew. Always thought when the temps drop they move deeper. Seemed like when you had that drop shot it was ON. Same thing with the fish busting deeper.

[@mikewimmer4614]

Solid job. Tough days are had by all but in the end the beer is cold.

[@smokin_sam]

I can badly fish out of a boat without almost losing something or falling in. I commend you on these great kayak vids!

[@Abe_Sinclair]

Heading to TableRock for the State Tournament. Channeling Greg ALL DAY!! WISH ME LUCK!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Get it manggggg

[@chrisnavychris]

With the way practice was going for you i thought forsure you would hit atleast 95in. Im sure its a pain trying to fish a tourney when the weather changes this time of year. What i learned from this video is to be prepared for anything! Thank you for sharing your knowledge to an amatuer! Hope you and yours are well and look forward to the next vid!

[@Hieysk]

Puts it through the scupper hole... CLASSIC!!!!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

[@ACT0080]

Love the videos brother! Fishing in my neck of the woods.

[@jensfishing943]

I like the lengthy format! Good job figuring out the changing bite.

[@madd0g1539]

Greg and the Nasty bass. Lol made Greg curse. Must have been a TANK!

[@mdepeel1]

Thanks for another great video Greg! Gotta get you up to the PNW to enjoy what we have to offer!

[@native2theland223]

Bro that ending on day 1 , was epic very nice, sticking with guns/guts.got yourself a new sub. You just inspire me to wanna take up yake fishing 🎣.

[@danielkinn782]

Damn Daniel. He's a hammer for sure. Great video Greg. You had them around you but they just weren't biting. Way to grind it out.

[@joshhamilton4482]

You guys make me feel pretty fortunate! I live in Alaska and when I go south I feel disappointed when I just catch one or two fish an outing. I have times I catch alot and times I catch a couple but I always throw a dropshot!

[@paulziebell2479]

You can't always dominate...you spent time on the water and hung out with friends. It's still a good time....on to 2022 yab!!!

[@michaelsanchez3659]

You guys have to have a sponsorship with sierra nevada beer at this point!🤣This is the kind of tournament that livescope just excels in. The first cold front in the fall is always a coin flip. It either turns fish on or shuts em down, no in-between. Great vid greg and great tourney season in the books.

[@bsbedingfield]

It seems like Terrance is the beer guy. Like maybe he works for Sierra Nevada.

[@Jrizy.]

“I got the drink away the traffic” I’m making t-shirts right now lolol. 😂

[@ninjarider84]

Your buddy Damian sticks to the middle of the lake with a spoon and slays the hawgs, im gonna need to get that spoon and try this out. I always ride the shorelines by nature.

Man Damian is unbelievable. Always up at the top.

I just started kayak fishing. I want to join your crew 😂 awesome video. Best cali kayakers! Seria nave da! 🍺

[@lmslasher8570]

I cant believe I didn’t see this!! Shame on me!! Good luck greg!! 🎣 🎣 🎣

[@jonathanspadafore7599]

Gotta smash the like button for the grind. Must've been rewarding getting bit toward the end of day one. You can tell you love fishing. Even if that tournament wasnt going on you'd still find that bite like you did. That's why you make the best content on YT in my opinion. Looking forward to you wrecking them on the delta soon

[@Manwhosays]

It's all about hanging out with the Boyz. Awesome times.

[@stacenhartland9777]

Barometric Pressure! Legit top water on that cloudy friday!

[@Murphyrobert01]

Fished Lake George past weekend and man it was tough. Watched your video but hardly any smallies or LM were shallow. Majority 40' to 80' off shore. Drop shot and swim baits were our key lures. Great vids man keep them rolling!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Dang, sounds brutal! thanks man

[@brianshort2101]

Maaaan. You know DT threw a spook all weekend....that's what he does and just having the confidence to throw it all day pays off. Especially in that deep clear 💧 water

[@fishing4charizard]

Yup that was a tough one. I got 7 fish (4 smallies) dragging the drop shot in 15-20 feet of water and that was good enough for 15th. I fished out of putah canyon and had never been to that part of the lake. Reminded me a whole lot of melones and don Pedro.

[@a_j_ramirez]

Thanks for the cameo at the cabins Greg 🤙🏽

[@donaldferris1638]

The last minute was the best info thanks

[@doncoe5070]

I feel your pain man. Been there, done that. Sometimes it’s really frustrating

[@kennightingale516]

I was pulling for you Greg. It can be frustrating and time consuming chasing schooling fish. I have had great luck when schooling bass are busting the top water by throwing a popper where they were and working it aggressively. It makes the bass think there is another feeding frenzy starting and they come back and hit the popper. Just make sure you have sharp hooks.

[@brianmcgee7911]

WOW it’s usually wakings up to His videos. LOL just received your Chinook OS from amazon love it.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Can't beat that PFD, Brian!

That’s how it goes sometimes. The closing action on Day One was lots of fun to watch and exciting, too. When in doubt, throw a senko.

[@raynman67]

Surprised the chatter bait wasn’t in play. Tis the season. Note from captain hindsight 😂 well you gave it your best, that’s fishing !

[@BobbyOfEarth]

A good lesson to tuck away; How pre-fish success can create a strong sense of hope, that, may cloud ones judgement. Greg found the fish that saved day one of the tournament.. at the deep edge of the weed line.

[@mattbarber4199]

Thanks for the videos! Good luck!! Stay safe!

[@NickGoesTrucking]

I'm emailing Netflix and telling them they need to give you a show. Call it Bassin with Blanchard. Hour long episodes of you traveling the country and kayak fishing top fisheries. You can cut me 5% when it happens 😁😁😁😁

Greg, try fishing the dark sleeper swimbait. Guarantee the spotted bass would've bit.

[@sponcho12]

Greg you should try and find a lens or use a lens from an older pair of fishing sunglasses to put over the front of the GoPro camera. Iv done it with my own to be able to see the fish in the water like you would wearing your sunglasses.
