Congratulations! Thanks for videos.

Went out for a little bit today, 55 degrees but felt way cooler on the bank, skunked but I got to try out my new toys Shimano poison adrena and scorpion dc. 🔥

[@DoubleBogeyBass]

I was one of the 76 blanks unfortunately. It was tough out there, good job finding them Greg!

Spinnerbait #1!!!!

[@MrFishingOhio]

Good way to start Sunday!

[@fishing4life292]

Greg’s going for AOY this year

[@anthonyvespia6662]

I believe he's got !st, 4th and that was 3rd place. He's definitely on pace for AOY. But then there's Damian, who can be dangerous at any point in the end the Lol. I've Learnt so much on my kayak set-up, bait's fishing from these two. 💯 🌊 🎣

[@Fishwithblake]

Hey i normally don’t make comments like this but I just started making some KZbin fishing videos and would love some feedback. I just uploaded a video about an hour ago and would love an honest opinion! Thank you!

[@chrisruef9221]

Aldon is competitively bitter. I enjoy that.

[@BassRaider]

Very nice!👏👏

[@chrisnelsonfishing]

Impressive adjustment to the spinnerbait not to mention rattlesnake ramp is pretty much untouched water since the ramp was just barely in the water and completely out of the water a week prior. Good call to head North.

[@Noblesteed17]

Are live scopes legal in kayak fishing Congrats Greg always a pleasure to watch and hear your thoughts

[@fatfitnessvang299]

Would love to have a hobie kayak but too broke. One day hopefully

[@FishingWithFred]

Ol spinner bait making a comeback in the world

[@andrewboyce7268]

It never left man

[@corefishing1]

What to expect in Greg’s video: Practice: I have no idea what I’m doing, fishing is tough. Tournament: I hope I catch a limit, then proceeds to put a beat down on the bass. Lol

[@AVHobbies2011]

Congrats on 3rd!!

[@JBfishing619]

Way to grind it out for 3rd place 👏

[@l0yalties]

Well done! Your videos rock! Are the GYO sun hoodies going to get restocked for the 2023 season?? I would love to order some merch!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you! Hope to get a restock on May!

👍💖 Congrats

[@yakventures9544]

You always pull it together on tournament day. Love your content. Best kayak fishing channel. Thx Greg

[@liarliar1408]

You went third because your lure of choice will catch medium size fish. Bust out them lunker punker or big hammer if you want 5lber n up. Once you have your limit n have them hours to upgrade, should of tried them big lures. Deep drop with rocky structure I would gone with a deep diving crank bait. You cover low n spinner is medium range unless you want to top your rod high for just below the water action also covers your ranges. All about knowing where they like to hang out n how deep is the bite. Enjoying your videos. Saw on TV this past weekend about another tourney where the winner just go in the middle of the lake and dropped straight down n just bounce backing his lure like he's fishing for Sacramento river salmon. He found the technique that no one else has tried. Something to think about.

[@tyleralloutdoor243]

It’s funny you said you didn’t look at TourneyX. I never look. Keep my mind on what I’m doing. As always another awesome video

[@bigmac183]

Spinner bait!!! Great Content!! Swugohasayoh!! I know the spelling is bad been years for me LOL

[@danielkinn782]

Cmon Greg...Stinger hooks! Use em on spinnerbaits! Great video! Nice job grinding em out!

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Bass usually get the bait when you have a swimbait trailer on.Stingers are really only needed when your burning them without that trailer,usually for small mouth.

[@danielkinn782]

@@dontnonowuno9953 I think otherwise. But ok

[@dontnonowuno9953]

@@danielkinn782 I should of said,"in my experience".. obviously whatever works best for you 👍

Bro. My bad for all the hate comments. You didn't fraud me. My anger was thrown at the wrong person. Much love brother. Keep fishing 🎣

[@jasoncramer83]

Awesome finish!!! You really put it together in the tournaments.

[@youremomsvilleplayzmc9528]

Love to see how you are always problem solving and mixing things up. Great decision to change areas and go with what was working. AOY is a real possibility if you can keep it up! Excited to go along with you and the gang for the journey! You and Coach did a great job…keep it up! Go Team Sierra!

[@liltoasty]

Don’t sleep on the Carolina Rig. Just like you discovered the jig works a couple of years ago so does the Carolina rig.

[@liltoasty]

You can use the poor man’s version by using a TX rig with stopper at top and bottom of weight. Just slide it up.

[@chrisnavychris]

Congrats dood! I'm glad your not on the east coast dominating tourneys😅 jk. Strong fishing though!🎣💯

[@steve5642]

Thanks and congratulations Greg! This was an prime example of capitalizing on a tough prefish, and quickly identifying and committing to a pattern. You knew you needed cleaner water and you found it, then you worked your seasonal patterns and let the bass tell you the rest. These are true virtual on the water lessons, and I learned a lot here... stay on your game man. 👍🏽🎣

[@lafawnduh1543]

@10:40 a trailer hook might have gotten that fish on the spinner. I put them on buzzbaits as well.

[@derekschulz7813]

Man you have such a good way of building the tension in your tournament vids! Still fish all the time, but Greg is one of the very few fishing youtubers I still consistently watch.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you sir! I love making tournament vids - always seems to be eventful one way or another

[@tjsportsfishing4194]

Can the next video be at Berryessa please

[@stevec69]

whats up w only spotted footballs at folsom? weird also thank you for finally using a spinnerbait....its heaps better than half the stuff ur inclined towards like that trout swimbait or the chandelier

[@wgb925]

Great job Greg! Nice finish Dutch and congrats to Terence for winning the Derby!!

Congrats! That was some great work, and your decision making showed your experience. Maybe some luck, but don’t sell yourself short.

This is really cool to watch Greg. I’m glad you made it in the top three. The amount of skills you have gained, and acquired over the years is truly showing. I’d like to say I appreciate the fact that you still record and document everything. Keep up the great work Greg, see you on the next location.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Austin! Being out here in California for the past 6 years has been a huge learning experience

[@bryanreed8408]

Never fish a tournament but you all make it look fun

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Love em'. Can't beat the rush of catching a big fish on tournament day

[@FullTimeFishing]

Greg thank you for being the inspiration for my channel. Your content, dedication, and advice through the years is much appreciated. I’m finally getting more consistent with my channel and it’s really paying off. Thank you!

[@raynman67]

Every fish is a giant 😅

[@joekocher2604]

Good stuff man! Could I ask why you chose the native slayer max say over a hobie? I'm really on the fence here I like the instant reverse on the native personally. Just seeing your thoughts on that.

[@TheDarkHorse949]

You fishing all fluorocarbon or Braid with leader in your abu baitcaster with that jig?

[@encapsulationsdownunder]

Greg! Got anymore orange mondo long sleeve hoodies left???

[@willoughby7540]

That unintentional look back at 13:54 with a smirk right before you set the hook on that giant was amazing lol.

Good job! You obviously made the right choice fishing new water. Another great video. Thanks.

[@ronwallace7563]

Doesn't it feel great when a decision pays off? That change of plans and doing something different.....and then it works out....is a HUGE confidence boost for me and makes me "listen" a little more to my gut when I'm fishing.

[@lizsmith9948]

We were cheering you on and happy for your 3rd Place finish! So glad your tournament day was a BIG improvement to your practice day. Watching your videos helps me become a better angler, thank you 😊

[@Paul-zv7uy]

You don't use a trailer hook on your spinnerbaits?

[@ThePigZebra]

The fact that there’s no spoilers or click bait in the title make Greg’s videos so much more enjoyable
