Havent finished the video yet but i want to say how respectful you were with the lady in the beginning. Tournament had just started but you took the time to go to her and waste a few precious minutes of early morning time to talk to her and didnt seem rushed or anything. You are an ambassador of the sport and it shows!! Thank you
“It’s like a small child” how u held the fish had me cracking up 😂
#7 Even with a banana in the boat!!!! Way to go!! Can't wait for day 2! Let's go
Anyone else just like the video before it even starts because you know it's gonna be good?
I particularly liked the flock of fake birds at the beginning.......LOL. You know only a tournament angler understands the emotions and the voices......... great video. Captures the blow by blow feelings, thoughts, triumphs and beat downs of a tournament day on the water. The switch to the LV was a stroke of genius. That fricking thing just catches fish even in the saltwater. Clear Lake known for that bait as you well know.
Thanks Greg. Cannot wait for day two.
"It's like a small child!"
I got a good laugh out of that one.
Except you aren’t allowed to throw them back!! (My son is 3).
@@brianmcquinn5897 😱
Hahahah this one got me too
I LOLed when he said that
Nothing better than waking up and seeing a new vid!😂
Ohhh my LORD!!!! That catfish was epic! But dude, you killed it and we are all rooting for you to win!!
Great effort. And I envy the fellowship, food and brews afterwards
Good times.
The kayak goat!! How nice is that, tournament just began and you appease the nice lady who wants to send you a picture of yourself fishing! Can we all act like this ?
That was exciting! Can't wait to see the final day.
Can't wait for the next video! Looking good so far 👌
Love it! Can't wait for Day 2 video 👍
Great job to all of you! Always looks like a great time!
Great job, Greg! Never give up attitude! Can't wait to see how you finish!
i was waiting for the tournament video. thanks for posting it
“It’s like a small child” 😆😆😆😆 that was great 👍🏽 good job Greg, can’t wait till Fridays vid!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
Great 1st day buddy, Good Luck on day 2!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏
the people that live on this lake are all so nice that I`ve seen so far. Fished in the keys and everyone came out and were super nice.
Great footage Greg! Great way to start this Wednesday morning drinking coffee and watching your video before work. I can’t wait to see the second day of the tournament Friday morning. Have a blessed day-Caroline from Arkansas
Great job Greg!! That LV Ghost Minnow is a killer this time of year.
Love the “inverted net job”! Haha
And you know I love the tourney series videos... good luck on day 2!
watching your tourneys is almost as exciting as fishing one! Good Luck!👍
Your videos!!! You are such a humble fisherman keep up the great work and great videos good luck!!!
The top water bite is addictive!!! It’s always my first bait to cast out in the AM. Looking forward for part 3, keep them coming!
Not a bad start to the tournament after not to good of a practice. Way to go changing things up and adapting. Awesome job Greg!! Thank you sir. I know what I’ll be doing Friday morning.
You have a great chance for the win. Good luck on day 2 Greg
Grinder of a day. Looked at the results online and you did very well and should be proud of your performance. Very impressive and your definitely a force to be reckoned with in the kayak tournament world. Congrats on a very nice finish and may 2021 be just as fruitful
Tight Lines!
Gotta love the "inverted net job". Glad you got a limit and are in the mix. Great job switching it up to something you don't normally throw. Good luck on day 2!
Absolutely loved that man! Way to stick it out there and get on a great bite! Can’t wait for day 2. Wish I was fishing another tournament soon but I think were mostly done for the year unless you like the online stuff, I’m not into the online events though. Good luck for day 2!
Greg my man, very very nicely done. We are still in this like you Always say. “We don’t need a bunch of bites we just need five of the right bites.” New day,day One all over again take what you know and do what you do best my friend. I have a good feeling about this. If you need to turn off the thinking and just go fishing then ayyeee. I hope u know what I mean by that. You got this 🤘🏿👊🏿
Rattle trap is our go to. Great video. Look forward to seeing the video and your results on day two!
Lol at the amount of people that probably said out loud “Don’t do that!” when you stuck your hands in that cats mouth! I know my son and I did!! Great video!!
Been waitin for another tournament vid.
That Catfish catch was awesome! Good stuff dude!
Great day 1! Best luck on day two
Your upload times on your videos are perfect. I can watch before working.
8:55 "oh no sshhiii....oooootttt"...keeping in PG 🤣
🤣
Hahaha that cat was giving you the business Greg!
Let’s see that picture! Another great video.
Good luck bro, I been fishing tournaments for years n did my first online this weekend, didn’t do well, 7th but it was fun!!
Aw man I been wanting for this video
Have fun Greg watching this before school
Love the tourney video.
Good job 👍🏻 I hope you kick some ass on day 2!
Fun and frustrating at the same time but yeah good luck...thanks for the show
“It’s like a small child” ha 🤣 made me laugh so hard. Nice catching 🤙🏽
The LV 500 is deadly in those conditions. Good luck on day 2!
Any other fisherman in a tournament would have just blow that lady off, you sir are a gentleman. Keep it up!!
What up G, man i gotta say its good seeing you crank, lipless, but cranking, thats my $ technique, good stuff bro!
" Its like a small child" 😂😂😂
I know I’m late but great to see you back in Cali brother and glad my internet is restored the bass bite got slow here in Arkansas due to a cold snap but the crappie are still feeding pretty well so I been needing my Greg vids!!
I can't say good luck cause its been done but waiting for the next video patiently... Hope you won but you alrdy know so ill wait to see the result on the next video.... 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Nice job bro! You kept fighting. Awesome cat also
Yes another one
Nice! Get that W!
Wow practice seemed alot ruffer than the actual tourney. Can't wait to see Day 2.
Damian always in the mix 😲
Lipless crankbait highly underrated in grass. Reel and pop. And on the drop they'll crush it. Good stuff
Nice Day!!!!!
Soon as the tournament starts Greg is already laying game down on the locals ;)
Literally was saying don’t put your hand in there and it happened got bit!!! Awesome stuff buddy
Can't wait for the Friday video. What's gonna happen?!? Lol nice job as always
Honestly thought that lady in the beginning was going to be another Karen lol what a sweet woman. Awesome vids man! The tournament vids are my favorite. 😎🎣🤙
She was not only nice but clever....good strategy to getting Blanchard's digits!! She'll be on the lookout for Greg from here on out!
What is a “Karen”?
Greg "Big Cat" Blanchard! Love the videos bud.
What perfect timing I just woke up to go to Clearlake
Looks like you got some SLEEEEEP!!! Striper fall bite is getting better and better! We can hit up the delta on my boat and chase some lmk!
What a way to wake up for school!👌🙏
And you’re totally right on the never give up hope even if you grind it and come out and never get another bite after the first my grandpa always tells me “you can’t catch any fish if your baits not in the water” and it took my a while to figure out it meant never give up but i live by that on the water!
Hi Greg. Way to tough it out. 80 inches. Nice. Oh by the way O’Meara’s Bakery where you visited, just so happens to be owned by my Hollywood High School grad best bud, Mel. That was a surprise!
Thanks 😊
2020: YEAR OF THE POPPER
Good 1st day!!
Lol "in the booty net job"😅 Always rooting for you, G.
Awesome video Greg 7th place not bad considering on how many are fishing this tournament. Good luck to you bro
Lol "It's like a small child". As you drop it overboard. Lol
Great Job Greg hope to meet you one day out on the water.
Nice brother👍👍
Damian always placing somewhere in top 10. Lol he's a damn beast.
That small child took up some valuable time.. lol
Great job awesome video!
It’s a small child! Lol that had me rolling.
I was laughing hard!!! "Like a small child"!!!
Super nice of that lady to snap some photos an share them with you.
I always enjoy a good poop joke first thing in the morning haha
at least you know your knots are good hooking and landing a cat that big haha. Nice job brotha
8:52 the bass probably had your weight instead of the worm haha, great vid!
I guess you’re putting that banana on boats bad luck thing to rest? Nice day of fishing. You always manage to turn it around when it counts. Best of luck on Sunday, tight lines!
Dam that dude Damian Thai has been killing it too
@19:45 BUAHAHHAAH DUDE IT JUST BIT ME LOL
You should have used one of the pictures she took as the thumbnail.
Greg I’m gonna need at least 1-7 more videos posted a week. I need something to watch whilst I eat my pancakes everyday
I get the feeling you won't be doing any catfish noodling anytime soon? You definitely matched the hatch with that lipless (if bass and cats were eating it). As for loosing fish, I've always heard the old timers say "Every fish I loose is a 10 pounder". That makes me the greatest fisherman to never catch a 10 pounder! LOL!!! Great vid! Thanks for posting.
Greg, could you post your go-to GoPro settings in the description? I’m having a hard time with my setup. Also, you’re the man
Good luck Greg...
Lipless cranking in the fall...doesn't get any better!
Not a bad day!
Nice video, per usual. I'm curious on your Curado K settings. Two brakes set, no brakes set? How do you set your dial? I have two brakes on and set my dial to 3, for most lures around 1/2 oz. What's your sweet spot?
The banana curse is real! 🍌🍌🍌🍌
That banana! 😂😂
Dang! Not bad of a day. A lot of hmong fishermen up on that list though. Let's get it!
"Come over here and I'll text it to you." 🤣😁🤣😁 Go get It Greg. Hey what measuring board is that?
You got Catfished! Good ol Clear Lake haha
