    Greg Blancard - New World Record holder: the number of times anyone has stood and sat down while fighting one fish in freshwater: 12! (count for yourself starting at 28:22) Congrats on the finish - I can never wait to check TourneyX, but not the same as actually watching you do it! Your consistency this year has been really really impressive!

    Greg, I have been watching your videos for a couple of months. Really appreciate the way you put them together. I am a 70 yr old kayak(Diablo Amigo) bass fisherman. My dad is 94 and has probably retired from fishing from his kick boat. He loves to see the fish pics I send him. I am seriously thinking of rigging up my kayak with GoPro so I can put some video on a private UA-cam channel just for him. I notice that you use a chesty and one on the back of your boat. Please advise me on which GoPros to get and the gear needed to run them.

      Ha! Yeah he has a UA-cam channel. I don’t think he’s posted in months though. He doesn’t talk much in his videos which is probably why he doesn’t have too many subscribers, and most of these channels have as much to do w personality than the actual fishing. The dude definitely knows his stuff though. He and Greg have been going back and forth for a few years now. Good friendly rivalry between them. He talked about how he and Greg had set up a collab, but timing didn’t work out. I’d def like to see that done though.

    Man Greg, I grew up in a small town near by called Ione. I lived there till 50. Moved to Idaho after retiring. I stopped fishing around 16 and restarted right after retiring but here in the new state. Never fished Comanche living there only used it for recreational boating. Make me want to haul my yak back to Cali and do what I missed out on. Congrats on the finish.

    Greg, fantastic year of tournaments. Seems like you were consistently a threat in almost every one of them. You have developed a knack for finding fish even when the bite is not ideal and it's made a big difference in results. I was yelling at my screen this morning though when you kept focusing on the 7lber that was just not about to bite anything. I was like, F- the 23" fish... catch three 16-17" fish. Because of course 1. you could hear me, and 2. I would have been lucky to foul hook a perch all day. Hope to see you raise your game this winter and expand your arsenal so you are ready for 2021.

I was tearing them up on the 4 in roboworm in sexy shad in the pockets and crawling a 3.8 Keitec easy shiner in pro blue on top of the humps...congrats on the top 5 finish.
