dude, that was epic. just noticed the vid is 50 min long. seemed only half that length. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. well done, brother.
You know it's a giant when Greg looks around behind him after he gets it!
Greg’s tournament videos are the best reality tv out there
I felt like I was setting the hook
Top level production man and congratulations on a nice bag
That fight at 19:00! I literally yelled out "LET'S GOOO" when you netted him.
Watched every single minute and enjoyed it very much. Only channel I watch every single minute of every single video.
I called in sick from work to watch this video. Had my popcorn and drink ready!
They way you slow down the video before a bite never gets old. Top notch sir 👌
Hands down best tourney video I have seen of yours.
Sooooo glad you had your net in place for most of your tournament. Nothing like having the bass jump out while you're measuring it. Heartbreaking! I was screaming like a girl when the bass unbuttoned on the frog! Still the best entertainment while having my coffee 💖
That look at 19:13 was a “get you some” look 👀 👊🏻
I normally don’t get excited for CZcams videos. But ever since I found this channel, I’ve binge watched from beginning to end. I’m so ready for this haha
It’s so hard for me to wrap my head around how many giants are caught in tournaments like this and how well you do each time as well. Those are monster fish. Crazy how much of a 1/4” difference makes.
Each time update that you edited in added to this feeling of an impending doom of the tournament ending lol.
Highly compelling edit. Tight on action with regular status and contest updates so easy to follow the heat of battle. A great day on the water helps as well.
Upcoming big fisher CZcamsr, calling it now! Awesome videos man
What Mike said is true, your editing skills have improved. I been watching for a while and I had a feeling your channel would grow. Good job out there with the decisions being made. 30-45 minutes with no bites always makes you rethink your decisions. But when it pays off you feel good. Keep it up.
43:15 bro that hookset though! Almost fell out of your hands!
I just found out that the top 20% from the first 3 tournaments of my trail will qualify for the West Coast Championships! I hope to do well and qualify so that I can hopefully get to meet you and also get the chance to fish Clear Lake for the first time! Keep up the great work Greg. You are an inspiration to a lot of us!
Nice that Bass came back for seconds 🤘
I’ve been watching for a long time, and this was one of your best (videos and tournaments). Great stuff!
Agreed.
I don't always watch 50 minute CZcams videos, but when I do...they are Greg Blanchard videos.
Great job! That frog bite was sick! Makes me want to go right now and throw one.
Gotta be one of the craziest frog vids I’ve seen this year!!!
I never thought I'd watch a 50 minute episode, wow that was fun!
Still stunned. Best kayak bass fishing tournament video EVER. Period. No argument. Sealed and delivered. Awesome work. If that isn’t exciting……I’m afraid you are getting colder with each minute that passes. Excellent work Greg. Thank you so very much. That one can be watched over and over. Be safe and great luck to you and your efforts.
You gotta start throwing a weightless stick bait (senko) into those pockets to follow up when they miss your frog. Just have it rigged and reeled up and ready to cast immediately after you get your frog back in.
I've been saying that for so long lol...he does so good but I feel like it would catch him so many more fish!
Of all the people I watch on CZcams. Your one that I genuinely root for and hope to see win! Happy fishing and God bless you man 🤙
The more i watch you the more you are becoming my favorite CZcams fishermen.. Just quality videos and quality fishing.. None of the run around you see on here a lot. Would love to fish with you any day. Thank you for another awesome video. 🎣🇺🇸🎣
First fish"oh gawd I got one...oh golly,dropping the motor and he just sucked it up !"....pretty sure it was a good sign lol great job as usual,definitely one of your best videos ever my friend
that monstah at 10:04 is probably the best fish I've ever seen you catch
Man that cull on the 17.75 about took your rod out of your hand. What an epic day for you sir. I'm subscribing I've watched like 6 or 7 videos now and like the channel. You have influenced me to get back on the fresh water. Been on a redfish kick for 6 months now.
Man got me replaying 3x it dope!!!Smashing them on top water!
Nice work Mr. Greg!! Next time you're on a frog bite you gotta sing "I kissed a frog and I liked it, the taste of it's Bass Pro chapstick." 🤣
I swear every time you reach for something else on your kayak while your bait is in the water you get a bite! What a day on the water. Clear Lake is something special! Once again Greg,, great video
Hey grey you are spoiling us with these longer videos, thank you. Epic tournament..hands down the best fishing CZcamsr
I believe if this is the past Sunday, I'm pretty sure I saw him cruising by my place in his yack! Can't wait
You must not read my comments it's cool can't read them all right...lol... Tight lines no matter what.... I'm always pulling for you
You must not read my comments it's cool can't read them all right...lol... Tight lines no matter what.... I'm always pulling for you
One of the best fishing CZcamsrs if not the best!!! Keep it up
As soon as you say need a kicker. I knew the next fish was gonna be a 20+. Man cant wait to see the last part and the result from the tournament....tight lines and big mamas all day
Ya was super enjoying watching this two day event. All of the on the water decisions that make or break your tournament. Great fishing and editing and ya. Excellent video dude.
Not only am I addicted to fishing, I’m also addicted to watching your channel!!! Great video!!!
Love clear lake ...your lucky just to be there fishing 🎣 ... Doing well is just a bonus ...
Bro. Man. Favorite video this year by far and all the rest have been fantastic keep it up
This lake is unreal. I can't believe how good it's fishing in the toughest time of the year. Our lakes in NC are absolute garbage compared to this. It's like they haven't seen a bait in years or something. Great vid. Amazing fishery.
Your keeping us on our toes with this 6pm premier! All a fun time with the boys. Great work Greg! Summer smoke from the fires is just the new normal now. 🤦🏻♂️.
Best fishing I’ve seen anyone do in a while!
The anticipation!! Stop teasing us Greg and show us already!! Rooting for you man! Big fan love the channel! We need more Frog Only tournaments!!
Great stuff Greg. Thanks again for taking us fishing with ya. Awesome video
Dang!!! What an Epic day Greg!!! Couldn’t ask for anything better. Congratulations!! Couldn’t quite see your place at the end though, maybe I’m just getting to old...lol. Thank you sir!!
You can’t have an epic video without Greg slaying them on top….and of course Mike burping 😂
Greg, Congrats bro. Well deserved. You fish hard, stick to your decision's, and you never give up. You may have to add a sewing kit in your front cargo for on water repairIs. I Always say how much you mentor, as you fish. This is my 1st season, on my 120 PDL that I love. Been on the bank all my life. Wish I would've known how awsome kayak fishing was 10 years ago. Especially with, the new 1103. Like a little kid again, besides the therapy, and serenity. I can now explore, the 2600 acre lake, I fish, and try other lakes. Next year my yak will be tournament ready, and I cant wait to meet new friends, anglers, and great people. Congrats to Alden. You're one of the best anglers, on both sides of the globe. God bless, good luck, in the next one. Be safe bro. 🙏🤟🎣
this whole video had me on the edge of the toilet waiting for that next big bite! Great video man! Love a good top water bite! 👊🏼
Wow man you did freaking awesome! And as you’ve said before…..”Never leave fish to find fish”. Paid off man
I have to say Greg, it's not often that my adrenaline kicks in while watching someone else fish but this video was just awesome. Epic top water action.
Congrats Greg!
There has to be at least one tutorial on CZcams on how to set the hook on a frog. Your casting is dead on and your video editing is amazing. Thank you for the video.
Hey Greg. Love your videos.👍🏻👍🏻. Try doing the Bobby Barrack 7 second rule when those fish swirl on your top water lure. Pick up the backup senko rod and cast right back in there immediately! You won’t get every single fish that misses the top water, but you’ll definitely get some of them. Good luck!☘️👍🏻👍🏻. Patrick
Congrats Greg Blanchard. Your channel is always entertaining. I wish you all the best.
Thanks for being awesome Greg. Those blowups were sick. Tight lines bro.
That was absolutely some of the best frog fishing I have ever seen. That lake is amazing. Those casts after you took the jacket off and the immediate strikes. Phenomenal!
Man I love seeing your channel. I am a bass boat fisher, but love this kayak fishing so much! Thanks for sharing!!!
Awesome! Can't wait! Good luck man!
Greg: “please be 18, please be 18”😂😂
It's like Tinder...
That frog rod took a pounding! Watching you swing into fish that hard and not have the rod explode makes me really want to pick one up 🤔
This vid had me riveted to my phone the whole way through! I felt your pain on every lost fish & your joy on every pinned fish. What an epic 2 days of fishing. Can't wait for part 3 🎣
Another dope video with great shots and plenty of drama. I was waiting for the buzz bait the entire video. Great job finishing in the top 10!
You sounded like Ricky Bobby at one point… “please be 18”
Great video as usual!
Lmao nice
That kicker look "Blue steel" @19:09
What a day. No frog bite like that here in Virginia. Definitely jealous! Great job as always.
yo i was the guy on your previous video that hopes you will win some prize for this tournament and damn holy shittt ! you smoked it thats more fish caught for me in a year lol
The adrenaline on him at 19:10 when he landed that fish was intense I felt my heart jump 🤣
Great video Greg!!!
How you gonna do us like this Greg🤣 anticipation is killing me lmao
Catch’em Greg !!! Good luck
Congrats on your placing 3rd and another great video brother thanks for taking us along!!✌
Bro im 20 minutes in and you are killin it already 86+"
Out of all your tournament videos this one takes the cake. Top water bigs & top ranked You crushed it! The 1st place coming soon👏🏻👏🏻
Great video Greg. It's been really cool to see your channel grow and you fish! Thanks for helping decide on a good kayak to get by answering my questions on Patreon. You are awesome my man!
Killer dude! That was fun to watch. I was saving this one for a few days🤣. Gotta watch the finale next!🤙🤙🎣🎣
You make New York and the Finger Lakes proud. Awesome video, he's not lying your editing is phenomenal. I've learned a lot about bass fishing from watching, please keep the content coming.
Fire video brother!! Best in the game in my book. Keep up the great work sir!!
That was good stuff, Greg. I was excited the whole time, groaning when you missed a hookset or a fish threw the hook, cheering when you netted a big girl. Fantastic job, how you dissect the mental game, and how you went to work on your limits.
Always I mean always a great video. I got so pumped when I seen a 50 min video. I remember when u started making them longer great fishing man an video work
Favorite fishing channel on CZcams hands down! Keep killing it man! ✊🏽
This video had my adrenaline pumping. Great job G 👍🎣
Greg so epic, good on you for third, way to sling it.
Hey Greg, I know I've said this before, but you can catch 80% of those fish that strike and miss on the top water by following up instantly with a weightless senko. I've done this like 50 times over the years and they almost always go after the senko after they miss a top water. They hit the top water cause they are hungry and so if they miss, they will still look to see if they injured the "prey" they just hit, which means they are still looking to eat. Just give it a try, I promise it will work.
Nice video Greg. The second day was so cold, I was shivering.
19:10. The face of pure testosterone. Catching that kicker fish after asking for one on day 1. Haha. Love the vids!
What a great video... wasn't even me and I was all nerved up that you wouldn't lose any of those fish on the second day. LOL Your game has def. improved over the years!
Love the b-roll stuff and the action at the house!
As always i love to watch your vids, go for it. Yor're one of the YT people who got me to kayak fishing
It’s always nice to smoke a little ganja before watching your videos, cheers brotha!
You are killing it! You are such a an inspiration to me. I finally got a myself a pedal kayak and I am going to start the Florida Series in November! I don’t have a trolling motor any nav lights cause college life but I’m so excited to start doing these. Hope to make it to the trail and maybe see you and compete with you (Tho you’ll probably smoke me haha) Keep up the amazing and inspirational videos bro!!!
Sasshhhhhiiiiiiii … that lil homie is what I came to see ‘ that boy had big Dreams !💪💪🔥🔥👀❤️❤️❤️
Congrats on your placing, that was bad ass! So many dudes would love to be in your shoes🤟🏽
