LOL I'm always amazed you guys can wake up on time to fish the tournaments with all the beer you guys go through.
Early tournament mornings are not our most presentable moments 😂
Your videos are so much fun to watch. Obviously I’m here for the fishing, but Mike’s house tours, Santa skinny dipping or losing a boot, and Coach saying he’s selling all his stuff and quitting at like 75% of the tournaments is what makes your tournament videos so entertaining. I’ve watched your channel religiously for so long I feel like I know the whole crew and I love every minute of it. Keep up the great work and keep making great memories with your dudes!
Thank you sir! Hahah those are all great memories. Definitely fortunate to fish with these fellas
Santa's such a legend. What a crew
Mike and Santa are def my favorite LOL
Mike’s tour of the cabin was hilarious….especially his reference to “Antwan” from “In Living Color”!😂
He's a great tour guide😂
The "In Living Color" reference had me rollin...gave me flashbacks.
"Terence's boot, the dry one". Hilarious!!!
😂😂
easily the best crew on tv, all great individual personalities
Santa still leading sorry Greg I’m pulling for Santa!! What a great group of guys!!
Greg with the high set of emotions in both days just building itself up you pulled yourself through to still accomplish your goals of getting a really good bag. Definitely a nail biter to the end clutching the end of our seats with every fish retrieve. I think all of us fans wanted to see you win at the top every time cause you have the skill set to be among the best anglers out there. We’re always going to be pulling for you and seeing you reach those elite status levels, but you have an amazing crew next to you and help keep all of you grounded, so until the next one take care God bless.
Thank you sir! Happy to just get the limit and whatever the results the weekends and time spent with this crew can't be beat
You are an absolutely awesome group! The best thing is, you rock the prevailing situation as only men and anglers can... I would bet you all served!
Best fishing videos on UA-cam!! This group is so fun to watch! I wish these lakes had giants!
I just enjoyed a Hazy Little Thing at the airport while watching the video. Cheers, Greg (and Beer Santa)
Awesome!! Safe travels
Hard to find buddies that love the ups and downs of fishing. You guys are blessed. I always watch in envy. Great job guys.
It was nice meeting you n the crew at lake tulloch 🤙🏻
Thanks so much for not cutting out the issues. I am still new and it’s good to see I am not alone.
OMG Greg I'm yelling at you through my TV. I watched a video on dropshot once teaching how to set the hook. Thanks for the video.
One of the best things about Greg I'd he takes advice well and willing to always get better.
Nice to see you guys well and alive, life is good, keep posting, out of all the bass fishing channel, I only watch this one.
The cabin tour...umm epic? nah lol. Dude you were stressing me out with all your issues. Amazing job keeping your cool.
Man, I said before and I will say it again... we ride through the ups and downs with ya'!!! Keep taking us along for the ride...
Greg you guys are the greatest of friends and that is so awesome! I wish I could be hanging out with you all. I think I would fit right in.😁🍻👍
Congratulations on 5th place, Greg! This was definitely an emotional roller coaster 🎢 but you stayed the course and got a decent bag! Love your videos so much. You and your crew are the best!😊
Thank you Sandy! It was a wild one but overall a great weekend
Thanks for taking us with you!! Keep your family close!! Life can change on a dime. I lost my brother fisherman. He moved to Florida, and my fishing friends don't hardly fish anymore!! Memories are all we have! Keep your fishing family close!! Have a blessed week!
It is really difficult to fish intensely, concentrated, and slow. Great video as always!
Great video definitely could feel the highs and lows. As a hobie guy, Santa could have kept his bare foot comfortable if he and Greg switched kayaks - Santa wouldn't have had to put his foot outside the yak!
Haha probably should've just helped him get his boot back on😂
Best fishing content on yt
Solid crew right there always entertaining.
Caught the “in living color” reference mike nice😂
Greg, I also had a problem with keeping fish buttoned on the drop shot and wacky rigged worm. Moved to an Owner Finesse Sniper Neko hook in 1/0 and it definitely helped put fish in the kayak. Good luck
5th place you are always in the top 10 🔥
Never met yall and still somehow feel part of the gang watching these videos. Always great content Greg!! Keep it up
Thank you sir!
It's always a pleasure watching The Wild Bunch fishing these tournaments. It really is a pleasure seeing that there's a lot more to fishing tournaments then winning I'd like to make one suggestion though on you losing a lot of fish I would pay a lot closer attention to the gauge wire of hook that you're using. I would go to a medium gauge or light gauge wire hook especially the vmc Finesse Style hooks really penetrate to fish a lot quicker than your medium or heavy gauge wire hooks I think that's what the problem is. I went through that issue a lot of years ago. The other thing is I never had any confidence in those little dropshot hooks, Martens never really used them either.
I know it wasn’t funny for you but just had to laugh because now I know losing fish is not just me. You stuck it out and got a respectable finish. Awesome and thank you!
The frustration of losing fish in a tournament is hard to come back from, you handle it pretty well. Nice video
Slow mo net job stopped my heart for a second.
Getting five is the first step to winning! Good job on keeping your composure and getting 5. As always great video.
Once again, a blast to watch! Good luck on the next one!
LOL Greg - I managed to get my husband to follow suit - he's now dropping F bombs along with me when a fish comes off. Guess I turned him to the Dark Side 😉
Kudos to Santa for tying for AOY - very exciting!
You had your share of problems, but we were happy to see that you made it to No. 5. Mike is an absolute hoot as the cabin guide. My husband actually rode the Pony Express route in Nevada on horseback and drinking that nasty cowboy coffee you had. I'm telling you, so you won't feel alone 😂
Can't wait to see your next video. It's a learning experience 😊🎣😊
Haha that's amazing😂 oh boy, not sure how he had coffee like that but it was definitely better than nothing. Happy fishing!
Those graphs are def in the way.
I think so too. He ends up holding the rods at a weird angle and the fights seem to pop off more often. This boat is rigged different than his other boat.
Are arms are looking swoll. Is it all from fishing? 😂😂 Love the videos as always, can’t wait for the next one! Cheers!
Great Chappelle call back Mike!
Man I gotta give this lake a try it looks very tough but very rewarding good vid Greg👍
You know, I laughed through so many parts of that video because if you tournament fish, you’ve been there. Nothing goes right. You tangle the line with anything capable of tangling, you loose fish, you go through a stint when all you catch is embryos, you fret., you complain and whine, you talk to yourself AND answer your own rhetorical questions. And then….you spin out. Been there. The demons win.
You didn’t. Good for you Greg. Great video. Every fish you lost I felt the pain.
Good luck guys rest of this year. Quite the crew.
It's always exciting when one of your videos is there in the morning. I'm headed to the lake now, thanks for the inspiration. Going to throw the drop shot!
Thank you sir! Hope you got on em!
😂 you’re looking like me out there GB with those nooby mistakes. C’mon now haha.
Glad to know you’re still human man. Great adventure out there.
Fun with the buddies, can't beat that!
😎🎣🎥👍
Yessir!
Greg you have really inspired me with fishing and I make sure when I tell people why I got into kayak fishing I mention your channel! Thank you for great content
To still get 6th place is awesome you know how it is you just gotta keep fishing. 👍
The cooking portion of this video had me busting my Lord😅
I was laughing editing that portion😂😂
I guarantee the first little fish of the day that you let go, had a massive headache from bonking off the side of the boat 😂😂😂
These fish fight so hard and your drag isn’t even on hahaha
Another killer video congrats fellas Greg we all have times like this maybe try a different hook but drop shot for me always seams to lose fish
Amazing how it only takes one fish to make or break your mental state for the day!
Haha you said it
Love your content thanks for bringing me along while im stuck at work
Yessir, thanks for tuning in
Bigger bait bigger fish right bud? Drop the 4” sanko and start throwing a bait that rules out the babys
After surviving the cabin. Fishing should be a breeze lol.
Good luck on championship Sunday boys!!!
I know you can catch a lot of fish with a drop shot, but I truly hate fishing with them! I always get them hung up on everything or the fish pops off...Great video, I love watching your tournament videos!
Good job Greg,5th and tough conditions and a few mistakes no bad. Hey on your drop shot rig ,try going to a bigger hook 🪝, I think you would have better hook ups and no lost fish. Just sayin ,it's worth a try. Thanks for the video bro can't wait for the next one.
Rigging up for my last fishin mission in Alabama. Heading back for many delta missions. All made better while watching a Greg Blanchard vid!
Love you guys. 👍
It’s like a wooden tent 😂
Makes me want to vlog my tournaments again haha
You should man!
@@GregBlanchardFishing inspiring me bud! Doing a great job! 👏
I think getting those (big)fish comes down to having the least amount of things that could go wrong with your set up, for me I don't like to run braid on my spinning set ups. The leader knot can knock fish off even if you use a really slim knot and I also feel that braid is less forgiving and the stretch with fluro/mono helps keep those fish pinned better. Just my suggestion on how to keep more fish from popping off and, I understand that some people have better luck the other way but this change has really helped me in my fishing.
Also love the vids keep it up 👍!!
It happens Greg you focused and got that limit good for you
Hey Mike, your air force is showing ;)
mikes tour of the cabin had me dyin lol..
It's obvious why you broke off. Then I'm seeing a difference in your hook sets. Some are rather weak.
I'm still a fan......Good luck in future events.
Hey Greg: Watching this one, here's what I saw/concluded: On fish#5, your gentle rod sweep stuck the drop shot very well. That's the technique for drop shot. i.e. Don't jerk the hook out of their mouths.
Ahh pickle flavored coffee
Greg ❤
Hey Gregg. I really hope that you read this. Ive written the same thing in the past. Ive been a really long time sub and have watched you fish alot. I really respect you and enjoy the content.
Anyhow Gregg im still picking on your drag. As soon as you get a fish that even comes close to being scoreable you start fiddling with youur drag. When your backing it off so much no matter how much the rods bent the fish are now handling you instead of you handling it. Also i know for sure on 4 fish you lost when you bent forward to net the fish your rod went down at the same time instead of up and back. Please forgive me for being critical of your fishing but im just trying to let you know what ive noticed. Much respect and will be looking forward to the next video.
Beefie hook on that Gillie
Should have checked on that big later in the day.. before they are locked on beds theyll show up in afternoon a lot
Good call
You got 5 places out of the top 10. That's freaking great Greg. Thank you again for another one
Nice vid! Stop fishing scared! I know senkos are money. Would love to see you win on a hollow body someday thanks for vid !
It's the pale ale causing the rookie mistakes 😆
This was kinda like my morning at don Pedro lost 5 and around 10:30 was able to pull 5 more by 3:30 good chatting with you buddy see u at McClure
Greg loft that net up when the fish is over it, get aggressive man… you had me yelling lift lift lift!!!’at 27:20
A cabin with no heat, made out of 2x4s😂
😂😂
Screaming RETIE! After hanging up on the dock with light line. Slow down just a bit... lol
Haha rookie mistake!
@GregBlanchardFishing everyone dose, love the content bro!
Hey Greg I think it might help to try one of the non-ultra realistic gilly colors. Those super realistic colors are like printed on top of the plastic and I think it makes them harder then the "normal" colors so you might get a better hookset with those otherwise maybe try an Geecrack bellows gill which has the same profile but is much softer.
Greg I feel as though you've been fighting the fish harder this year than years past and I think it's causing them to come off
Agreed, I think my mechanics are just really off lately kinda getting in my head
Man it's that spinning rod my landing rate increase alot when I went to bait casters only to much flex in spinning rods
Your trout setting those bass.
I think one thing that will help you not lose fish is to set the drag once to 80% of the breaking strength of the weakest link in your line and just leave it be. You’re adding too many variables mid fight and between fights. You’re losing the connection in your head between how much tension there will be at any given moment meaning inconsistencies. Hope that helps
Cool!
😅🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼 You guys are awesome!!!
Greg, I've watched you long enough to notice, you've never lost fish in a tournament, that much. Something's not right, with grabbing your net, and maybe two graphs in the center.Just a thought, and good job staying focused bro. 🛶 🎣 😎
Try kayak fishing try said.
It'll be fun they said
😂😂
lake T lip rippers, letsss goooo
Sorry Greg, I am afraid you got spun out a bit in this event. You still got your five and 5th was a good finish. You could have won this one for sure! Great video, loved the accommodations!🤣😂 Always enjoy your friends too!
You called it! Def felt like I was just "off" all weekend. On to the next!
Where did you get the ketch board holder that hooks on to the sidekick railing? Keep up the good videos.
You look like Glen from the walking dead
23:06 Maybe it's the EWG hook? Could you do a nose pin with a dropshot hook?
I've had horrible hook up with those Gillies as well
Hey Greg, just wanna ask which bolts/screws you use to secure the graphs on that captains bridge?
Maybe try new drop shot hooks, there is a famous drop shot hook that sucks bad and the company sells them as drop shot the bite gap sucks on them. I like the Owner Masquito lite hooks great bite gap. And for thick T-rig drop shot I go with a cover shot hook also great bite gap. Hooks are everything in drop shot in my opinion next is reel,rod,line.
What if you upsized your drop shot hook one or maybe two sizes just to give you a little bit more margin of error if the line goes slack for a second I’ve got some pretty small fish on some pretty big hooks so I don’t think it would affect anything but landing ratio
You coming out to NY for EKF Great Sacandaga next week?
I wish! Week after I'll be in town
Use bigger dropshot hook for gilly just nose hook it
Have you considered using a stiffer rod for your drop shot combo? Just looking at it from the video, it seems that your hook set is a bit too soft and your hooks are not actually penetrating the fishes mouth as it should. That said, this video is highly entertaining and informative. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
