Awesome video as always.

[@g-mane7497]

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

[@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.

Enjoying some Sierra Nevada & popcorn watching Greg's premiere on the big screen with the wife and kid

[@michaelsanchez3659]

The sierra crew starting the year off right!

[@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

[@robertrichardson7233]

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

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

[@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 ☺

I feel like this year is your year Greg, you moving out of your comfort zone, fishing deep, trying new thing. This will be your best tournament year, just throwing it out there.

[@FanOfLiberty1776]

[@alexalcaraz1286]

I just want to say thank you bro. Because of your last few videos I decided to try the Ned jig in my local lake/pond because the bite has been super tough!! I hadn’t caught a bass this year!! Today I decided to give it a try , after a long rainy weekend and second cast , “boom boom” !! Keep the great videos and the tips coming !!

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg Epic weekend. Loved seeing all you guys together. Happy for Santa being out on the water again, and place well out of 121 kayaks. And you're having a solid tournament season so far Greg!! 😎 🎣 🌊

Awesome job Greg. Hopefully you guys continue it all year. Stoked for all!!!

[@schwonce]

I truly love these videos. So motivating. Thank you so much. Keep it up Greg and the Dark Horse Division!

[@Suhdude13]

Such an awesome video and awesome placements!!

[@mattymccoy_]

Greg if you see this, you are awesome! My name is Matthew and I am saving up for a kayak. Thank you for all your awesome videos, I hope to reach my goal soon and get a kayak one day.

[@f3600]

Ive been watching greg video since 2021 and i just bought my first kayak. Dont give up ! ;)

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Matthew! Keep working and saving, it'll be well worth it.

[@JohnNguyen4]

Glad to see the Dark horse crew place top 21! Awesome

[@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. 🙂👍

[@sandybowers5085]

Great job Greg!!! Love your videos!!!

[@Frewsfishn]

That’s awesome brother, I just got 4th as well in my local Kayak tournament . Love everything you guys are, it’s an awesome brotherhood , keep reeln!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks man and congrats!

[@poststalone1496]

I have to net everything too, proceeds to flip first fish 🤣

[@Mark-dj5qf]

Nice event! Congrats on top 5 !!!

[@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

[@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!

[@moorebassin319]

Missed fish are always heartbreaking 🤕

[@devinhoyt1700]

Love the new style of video your doin, with the premiere and live chat room! Boomin! 🍻 good luck this season!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks man! fun to do with tournament vids esp if the results are good lol

[@andreaespinosa4914]

Nice video Greg. Looking great as always.

[@bassinbilliards6279]

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

[@maddmannziggy89]

Love these videos!! This group is epic!!

[@patriotmadness6231]

Great video

[@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!

[@coryszalayfishing]

9PM?! i cant wait that long man!! lol

[@haleyshepard9508]

I'd bet money that wake was a catfish not a bass. Glad the crew all had a good tournament, there are a lot more good times to come this year.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

coulda been, it was really big

[@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!

[@brianherrera316]

Excited, GO GB!

[@Kyle-zj5tl]

Mikes flannel is 🔥🔥🔥

[@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?

[@LunkerHunter]

Great to see everyone kill it!

[@andybrotonsfishing]

bravo les gars

[@JeremysFishing]

Atta boy Mike!

[@predwards8941]

“Greg’s back. It’s 3 years ago Greg” 🤣

[@icws2553]

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

[@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.

[@BassRaider]

Heck yeah house limits!!

[@kristysepulvado2002]

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

[@dreddy5187]

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