Thats the kind of squad I want behind me. Hats off to all the guys there and not there ( obie).

[@michaelsanchez3659]

The sierra crew starting the year off right!

[@robertrichardson7233]

We need a uncensored channel just for the guys at the house before and really see your personality and all the guys

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha, basically the same but a lot more cursing and fart jokes

[@davidjhomrich]

Is this the best overall friend group performance in the history of tournament kayak bass fishing?! I think so… Congrats to all you dudes!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks man, pretty epic! Though, last year, Alden, Obedie and Dutch did a 1-2-3 at the delta. close call

[@jeremyjones-ww2rx]

Hey Greg. I just want to say that I am a huge fan of yours and you have changed my life. I have been watching your videos during a very hard time in my life and I just wanted to say that if it wasn’t for you and your friends I don’t think I would have been able to keep fishing as a passion of mine through the dark times. I don’t know if you read these but if you do just know that my passion of fishing is still here. My passion in the idea of kayak fishing is growing huge. I am hoping to get my first kayak and start tournament fishing in it soon. Thank you so very much. You have saved my life.

[@youremomsvilleplayzmc9528]

Well done Greg. Looks like the boys had a great time. See you in the next adventure.

[@jeffahrens6246]

Congrats, Nice finish for all on a tough bite.

[@jaecubed592]

Awesome finishes for the dark horse crew. Nice job.

[@FanOfLiberty1776]

I’m not used to seeing you so far from shore, Greg!! I gotta admit, it’s a nice change 👍

[@stevenyoung2878]

Congratulations to y’all doing what y’all do best snappin necks and cashin check. But at the end a group of friends enjoying fishing….that’s what it’s all about.

[@rickysilva8897]

Dope all the boys did good! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👊🏾😊

[@michaelhomdus4945]

I just typed up all my comments and they dissapeared, so im doing it again. Greg this was a great video. I was so happy to see all of the team placed. Everyone had their own obstacles to overcome and push through. Everyone being the best they can and fighting for first place, and at the end of the day, you all sat togeather and enjoyed each others company and remensased about the day. This was a great picture of brotherhood. My hat off to the whole team. Do it again in 2023. Fish on ☺

[@lizsmith9948]

Congrats on 4th Place!!! Your dropshot technique with the flat worm has me vindicated! Boy, the suspense - I was screaming for the fish to stay on!!! Great job! 🎣🎣🎣

Congrats for y’all to go 3, 4, 5 in that big of a tournament

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Congratulations Greg and all the guys on a very good start this year.🙂 I've always wondered Greg why you don't throw a lipless crank bait? And troll one behind you when you move from spot to spot? I've caught many bass trolling when I move from spot to spot over the years.🙂🍺👍

[@cobbs]

If you're referring to trolling during tournaments, that's not allowed. But for fun fishing, yeah, when I'm making a big move, I almost always troll something. Caught a 15lb striper trolling an A-rig last summer.

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Oh I didn't know that you couldn't troll in a tournament. 🙂👍

[@ryanbowers5799]

Loving that juicy little thing! Hope it sticks around

[@kerrypitt9789]

The Dark Horsemen of the Rectangular table! You guys just being in the moment, are fun to watch Greg José Cifuentes won the Classic by fishing the deep water, using a finess rig and not moving his boat for each day. Youve already fished this but dont let anything hurry you along!

[@Suhdude13]

Such an awesome video and awesome placements!!

[@brucepreston3927]

I have never seen anyone else use a ned jig, but I decided to try one the other day because of your videos and I ended up catch two 5 pounders and a 6 pounder! I'm glad your tournament turned out good even though the fishing was tough, and I'm looking forward to the next!

[@bassinbilliards6279]

Terrance was on the right path. I guarantee color is key and he could've killed it.

[@BassRaider]

Heck yeah house limits!!

[@dreddy5187]

Not bad at all. Group of 6 friends all finishing top 21 in a group of 120+ fisherman

[@rdgsupafli]

I cannot wait to be back out on the lake it’s been over a year finally getting my boat worked on down in the Bay Area had to drive it there 4 hrs just waiting for the call to go back and pick it up!

[@maddmannziggy89]

Love these videos!! This group is epic!!

[@guts1005]

Greg, you should try the roboworm live shad bait or Yamamoto small fluke on a drop shot It works like wonder. The moment i seen that first bass you caught during the tourney spit out the small white bait fish. It would of been game on.

[@MarkoMygun]

Great job guy's, great way to start the season one question though where was Ob????

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Marko! Unfortunately O couldn't make this one

[@GetSomeFuker]

Great job TeAm!

[@icws2553]

Whenever you get the chance, try launching from enterprise or string town & fish the south fork.

[@nathanblake3608]

What a day and a grind of a day for you dude!! I have been wondering what type of pants do you wear for cold water and weather for the yak? Do you have any videos doing an overview of the clothing you use?

[@mikejacques8863]

I was waiting to see what was going to go on with the 9 mm ammo- figured if somebody had the skunk they’d just start shooting at the fish

[@kristysepulvado2002]

"How do you get this information"............"i think you told me" 😆 😆 GREAT 😁 VIDEO KEEP GRINDING

[@bhfishin]

That big shallow fish was most likely a salmon, I actually caught one out there up shallow a week before this tournament

[@robertdominguez4131]

Mike has got to be one of the strangest people on the internet. I guess we all have friends like him.

[@mikem8502]

I know the Fantanista is supposed to be a high end rod but is there any chance you’re not feeling bites because of the rod or were the fish just that finicky?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

i think it was just the bite,really light for at least the fish i was catching which I think we're glued to the bottom and would just suck it in.

[@WolfPitOutdoors]

Badge holder link please. I need that.

[@GymRat339]

The “shark” was probably a big salmon or trout chasing bait. See it a lot this time of year. They get up to 15 pounds there so definitely was probably that

[@veritas2145]

There are salmon on that lake?

[@brianherrera316]

Greg, I just saw a nice video. forgive me for not knowing how to message you direct. This is as direct as I know. I just watched a video for the Bass hole on the Delta. Delta Tackle shop. They are hosting a Swap meet April 1,2023. Might you have time to check it out? If your fishing in the area around that time. It would be awesome to have a meet and greet with you if your not busy. They said on the video that anyone can have a booth. Let your boys know if they already don't know to attend. I would be around to stop in and introduce myself to you and share my likes of your fishing places and experiences. Anyways, this is probably the longest comment. We the fishing community just love all that you show us and teach us here online. Peace Bro. Brian

How much does it cost to enter? And do top finishers get paid? Love video

60 and then you can add side pots totaling up to 160 i think. top 10% of field so payouts will depend on how many sign up
