" LMAO" Greg's always the designated, guy to climb in the back of "Santas" truck for the cases of beer. 😂 🍺 🎣
THERE goes my favorite fishing buddie Greg Blanchard 😎🤙💯
I love how there is so much footage that you had to split it up into separate videos. Super grateful for your content GB. I literally have been going through all your old videos and watching every single one of them. You're my favorite content creator. Keep it up brother. Much love. Good luck
Yessir! They all ended being right around 40 minutes too. Glad I didn't make it one video lol
Regardless of scores, what a day of fishing!! Future aoy!!!!
Great job grinding out there, it was a tough but fun tournament, glad to be able to meet you at the awards
You did great, and tomorrow you’ll do AWESOME!!!! I don’t think I have ever seen you catch that many fish in one outing‼️Loved the video, of course 😊
GB, what I love the most about your videos aside from the fishing is the friendship you guys have. I’d love to have a group of guys like this with the same passion.
Same! Love to get the entire crew involved
As a competitive angler myself I understand the stress levels and how they can mess you up. Stay cool, stay focused and above all follow your game plan and make sensible adjustments where needed.
Hey Greg, Just wanted to tell you that I stopped at Otisco Lake on my way home from Rochester the other day. I watched your video there and had to try it. The wacky thing that happened was that I saw a guy with his Hobie and said hello, asking him if he ever watched your videos. He said “Greg is my friend”. It was Bailey! ( #bethefish ) l told him that I watched you two guys fish Keuka. He encouraged me to fish tournaments. Nice guy! By the way, I caught a nice 16 1/4 inch largemouth from the bank at the park on my first cast with a green pumpkin bladed jig with sweet beaver trailer. Thanks for showing me Otisco Lake. Worth the stop on my way to Plattsburgh!
Nice! You ran into one of the best kayak anglers around. That place is special for sure.
Good luck Greg! Been looking forward to this one!
Mike is now officially my favorite of your buddies! He wore a Slayer shirt! F'n awesome!
That kind of day on any other day that wasn’t a tournament would have been a great day of catching fish!
Pumped to watch this one. Let’s go Greg.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ll tune in when I get to work sometime. Looking forward to the adventure GB.
16:59 SHARKKKKK
Coffee, in hand 😂 Greg, i know you're frustrated. But you've stayed focused, not hopping around, and concentrating. You're actually fishing smart bro. And of course giving us a nail biter. Three days of it, but it's awesome!! 🎣 🌊 🛶
Coffee drinkers where y’all at!?
We here 🎉
Right here! Have a good Tuesday, fellers and fellettes!
Right here bro!
Let’s get it!
🙋🏾♂️ recently switched to straight espresso idk if this is good or bad
I love how bam is always so subtle but at vip pizza he got a few in him and began to let his ego out, love it.
Good luck!!
Keep your head up, Greg. Good work
Can’t wait for day 2!
Let's go!!!!
Coffee here and there but mainly red bulls and monster!
Well Mr Sir .. deff and exciting video to watch way to keep grinding it out !! makes me want to tie on a chatterbait onto 3 different rods LoL ...
Alright Greg. Maybe it's just me but I'm happy to see that you did pretty damn good. You kept yourself in it. The last 15.50 with the chopo was a professional call and it worked. Good decisions Greg. Can't wait to see the rest.
Thanks Scott! Was really hoping to get "the one" with the low tide on the grass flats but it was a good fish to have
Loving the heady beats
Man, what a cool group of like minded folks.
Hey Greg I just watched your day1 video. I think you had a good day fishing. Well I just wanted to say Hello and Good Luck on day 2 ! Greg go and give them Hell! I'm pulling for you brother. Have fun and be safe! I enjoy your content.
That heat makes em destroy the frog
Perfect time for a video drop I’m just over here at home from work with cellulitis in my leg from a fishing hook stabbing me! Ima real one
You got this 😊
Greg, love your videos and it was cool seeing you in victoria canal a few weeks ago
Thanks for taking us along Greg , all I'm gonna say is I don't think you should have spent so much time catching the Dinks. Good luck.
Wow! That was crazy! All those fish and nothing over 15.50😳
Good luck! Kick some butt…
Love the Slayer shirt on Mike.
Good Morning Greg! Good luck at the WCC and AOY!!
I fished Friday and Saturday from B&W, wind sucked on Friday!!
Hit with a cold and fever. Chickens soup and Greg Blanchard is the remedy.
Get well soon dude!
I hit the delta on Sunday and same.. Most action all year. Nothing over 17" but a solid 5 hours of catching.
To be continued………Noooooooooo I can’t wait!
Shoulda stayed at Rivers End. 100% 🤣
Let's gooooooo!
Good luck greg!!! I hope you take AOY!!!!! YOU BETTER! hahahaha
Come on Blanchard! Need day 2! 😂
Busy day of pulling in fish!
Just wish they grew up a little!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who fishes wearing a Slayer shirt...
❤Lodi
Hey that was probably the most fish in a video you have had in a bit, that was some good feeding fish, sucks they were dinks but it is what it is.
Man, I need more G-Man videos!!!
Crap man, I didn’t expect you to finish outside 20. Top ten was finding the big ones. Where the heck were they? You had the numbers for sure.
I remember G - team outdoors, back in the day of little tournaments at Castaic lagoon
🎉
Made me Google sh!it kit. I made my own kit, but good to know that there are ready-to-go packages available.
Oh damn, that pizza looked good man 👀
🤘
You should come down to SoCal and show us how to catch these pressured bass
Caught more bass in this video than I did all year
holy shit that 99‘
What go pros do you recommend? Do you have problems with yours over heating
Great pizza at VIP me and the wifey use to go there all the time back when we were dating… our go to pizza BBQ CHICKEN!!!!
What what I want to know is, how many beers per person per day on average is consumed on these trips!🎉🍻
Oh man I'd say as a collective group average 12.6/day 🤣
Had a random thought while watching your video. From a strategical perspective do you ever target specific areas where it lends itself to throwing baits that catch bigger fish? Ie targeting areas where you can throw a jig.
You are one of the most under rated content creators out there! Your editing style, the music, intros and outros, etc! I feel like i am a part of ya'lls friend group every time i watch a video. You have inspired me to get into the kayak tourney scene down here in Texas for next year. still have a few things to add to the yak (namely a motor and blackpak) but I am super excited!
also note the bitly link for the rod carrier does not work. could you provide me with an updated link for that?
Thank you sir! You're in one of the best states to do it. Hmm thats strange try this one - bit.ly/32iGt4z
Also perfect timing for the motor if ya go with a Newport as they just gave me a discount code (GREGBLANCHARD10) 10% off entire purchase through their site (bit.ly/45O8QGf). Good luck on the tourney journey!
@@GregBlanchardFishing that link worked!
Newport is definitely on my list to research more. I’d love to eventually have spotlock but for now having something to give my legs a break should work just fine. I’m more of a shallow water power fisherman than offshore so spotlock isn’t a necessity as of yet
I feel like Mike dropped some weight.
Your rod and reel mechanics are very good. I was reading the water in your footage the similar to how I would fish it bait selection, placement etc…
One thing that differs between you and I was the Delta breeze was blowing and usually I throw traps or crank baits to hit the outside side of the trough as you call it. Right wrong indifferent why not try a rattle trap or medium diving crank? Is it because of the treble and dealing with that in a yak, but then again your top water choppo has trebles. Just curious and thank you for sharing and putting forth the effort to film and edit it.
U ever trying fishing at the afterbay?
☕️🎣🤙🏼
Coffee and GB great way to start the day
Greg you got this brother
Thats was alot of dinks on 1 strip
☕️💯
Little fish lie………….LOL.
Must’ve caught about 40 fish. How are you keeping your yak steady with all that wind?
the morning out to the spot was sketchy for sure but the yak is really stable even in that wind partly because I have it so loaded with gear it weights it down. But after that its really not that bad with pedal drive and rudder control.
Back to using the z man chatter over the slobber knocker? confidence thing?
Yeah and wanted something with just a little bitter smaller blade for fishing the trough Vs grass or wood
@@GregBlanchardFishing makes sense. Great vid btw, good luck with aoy.
D bomb bayou flash try it
First to the key!!!!
Why do I feel like having pizza now?
Are you still in the lead for angler of the year
do you guys actually get close to finishing off that many beers in a weekend? lol
Yeah lol 😂
I’m sure it’s already done, but I hope you pulled off AOY. This video has me worried a little bit.
Fishing starts at 11:27
Hey Greg what happened with the kayak giveaway? I was looking forward to winning i really need a pedal drive kayak so i can start doing tournaments
They picked a winner and should be announced soon!
@@GregBlanchardFishing ok
How are you not snagging more. I'd catch a tree in the middle of the Ocean
The delta isn't short of bass.
You should start adding to your videos the weather conditions. Temp, wind speed and gust. Etc…
Curious where the big fish were hiding
Not in that part of the delta lol
@7:28 Greg thinks this dude is super hot!
Not that there's anything wrong with that...😅
🤣🤣🤣
That was a sketchy morning run! Low light in a kayak is bad enough, big water on the Delta in the dark? No thanks!
Find some cover.
20:00 looks like 12.5" to me.....
GREG FOR ANGLER OF THE YEAR 2024
Always wanted to know why do you leave your drain plugs out? There’s always like 1/2 gallon of water on your feet? I leave my plugs in. Am I missing something to there function??
34h place finish that fishing must have like pulling teeth
Good try GREGORY
DELTA kicked you in the 🦷 again
20th? 34th according to the leaderboard
Let get it!!!!
