I was at the stop light yesterday and saw this pickup truck with a kayak sticking out the back. Dude driving looked familiar. Greg Blanchard himself! Felt like I had spotted a movie star. Actually, in my book, I did.
Watching Greg Blanchard at my favorite fishing spot after Bible study; couldn’t have been a better experience for me this morning. Thank you for motivating me to keep pursuing this sport, the positivity that this community brings is overwhelming. Be blessed.☕️
Well said and you have your priorities correct. Amen! Greg has such a great channel. When I was heavy into fishing videos I had a ton of people I watched...that list is down to 2. Greg and Brandon Miller. Anyways have a blessed day!
Honestly i'm not even a kayak fisherman, I mostly boat fish, but almost everybody I have met or talked to in this community has been great...Also the comment section of Greg's channel is the only place on youtube that I have never seen anyone argue or be ugly to each other and I love it! It's all positivity and people trying to help each other...I wish more places were like that
@@brucepreston3927 Basically for the past 4 years all I fish is my 1.5 acre pond. Lol I love fishing but that isn't even why I continue to watch these videos. Greg has class... he keeps all the curse words out of his video...he has great cinematography... And I love the camaraderie with his group of friends. It's almost like watching Little House on the prairie. Lol but honestly this is just a great all around channel.
I loved this video as I do all of them! But the music 🎶 was so awesome 👏🏼 especially that little Irish number 😊Best of luck to all the the guys❣️❣️❣️👋🏼
Clearlake is my favorite lake ,I lived there for 8 years early 2000s. Had a bass boat it was AWESOME. Good luck guy's, can't wait for next video. And yes I do have my coffee.
Laid up after ankle surgery and can’t sleep. Booms, GB drops a clear lake video!! Thanks GB I needed a pick me up this morning. 5am here let’s see some sick bassin!!
Seeing your boat in all that grass and knowing how scared of snakes you are i can't believe how you just jumped in it in the dark. I once was fishing late one evening and had this little one man wooden boat. It had the bait box behind the seat and then an area just big enough to put a tackle box between the bait box and the back of the boat. Well after taking a break i was about to get back in the boat and i just noticed something out of the corner of my eye move. It was enough to make me look closer. Sure as can be a snake had gotten into the boat on top of the tackle box. Man just the idea of thinking about being in that boat and reaching back to get a piece of tackle with that snake being curled up on it. I still shiver when i think about it.
Greg with full moon, Black buzz bait over grass beds on flats close to deep water at night. also, black spinner bait with single nickel Colorado blade "the thumpier" the better, good luck.
I have always wanted to go to Clear Lake myself...I have heard so many stories about it, but it would take me at least a week to drive there with my boat so I don't know if I will be going anytime soon😢
Coffee's on as well as my 3 dogs snoozing by the TV. When I heard you say 34 hours, I immediately envisioned the Iron Man - yikes! I admire your tenacity because I'm A wimp 😂 Each time you hooked a catfish, I booed and wrinkled my nose at the slime LOL However, I was glad that the bass eventually hit, plus there were keepers 👍
Greg, we are collecting can tabs for my son's elementary class. If you collect them from just one of your group trips, I'll bet we could fill a drinking glass lol. I'll pay for the shipping!! Think about it!!
I only mention because it’s when you start off 15:26 But I find when you push the scupper plugs in more from the near the middle on both sides it seals up nicely and I don’t get water in like that anymore. Was a big deal for me because the water is getting colder and would shorten my season. But with motor you’ll probably get splash over still. Let me know if notice a difference.
Morning, that's nuts man. I catch em on a chatterbait all the time smh. I'm hoping it's a bass then your like ffs 😂. That lake looks amazing. Yall seem like some good folks. 👍
Greg, this is really awesome, because it's so different and it's Clearlake. "FYI" Not sure when Damian fished. But he caught a 9.5, two 4 to 5 pounders, and a 6.5. So there out there, go get em Greg!! 🎣 🛶 🌊
I agree with Mike on the traffic ordeal. Catching big cats like that have to be every bit as fun as catching a bass but doesn't really help your cause. Is old man Mike loosing weight cause he's kinda getting that Bill Murray look going on?
Quite the cat fight! I’m looking forward to your on-the-water reviews of the Titan X! I’m close to putting in an order but want to hear your thoughts on both the 10.5 & 12.5. I will be patient.
I’m probably close to your size and am leaning towards the 10.5. I don’t care about any slight speed difference and don’t carry an abundance of gear. There’ll be plenty of storage in the 10.5 for me. Thanks for the response and I’ll look forward to your reviews of both lengths. Right now my OT Salty is fine.
thanks man, fantasistas are mainly for my 7'5'' and 7'6'' applications like jigs, punching, etc. Big thing with the winchs' are for mostly moving baits like chatterbaits, crankbaits, and some topwater. The winchs have more of that parabolic bend that really keeps the fish pinned and lets them at those moving baits better too
Omg…Dutch it’s good to see I’m not the only one with baits I don’t throw. I’m sick of the whopper plopper knock off Greg please any other bait this video.
how bad were the mosquitos. everytime ive been to clear lake they are out on the water in full force as soon as you stop they surround you and at night forget about going out at night
Thread fin shad die off, happens every fall. Some years low Oxagen will kill thousands of fish. The shad school so thick they deplete the already low Oxagen. I have seen huge rafts of giant crappy. bigger than a football field. Talk about Stink!
@@dne3142 I thought so. Standard bar food (burgers, salads, wings, etc). Pretty tasty and nice atmosphere (especially in the summer when the back deck is open).
agreed with the other comments, wolfies is solid. they'll also let you launch a kayak there if you call in advance and park in the way back. burger and beer after a day of fishing cant beat it
Coffee crew, ASSEMBLE!

You should read that thing a little closer. It's one giant contradiction of physically impossible stories that never happened.
@@colingordon5950 you ok over there?
Awww look at Aldy Waldy cuddling that pillow.
Damn!! Mike is getting in to shape!!
I thought the same thing.. His face is slimmer... 👍👍
I loved this video as I do all of them! But the music 🎶 was so awesome 👏🏼 especially that little Irish number 😊Best of luck to all the the guys❣️❣️❣️👋🏼

I started watching for the fishing, but stayed for the banter from the crew. Love the comradery.
this crew is something else😂
Santa crackin the beer close up was a great take!
Laid up after ankle surgery and can’t sleep. Booms, GB drops a clear lake video!! Thanks GB I needed a pick me up this morning. 5am here let’s see some sick bassin!!
Mike looking skinny man! Salads even 😂
Terrace showing up and cracking one for the camera is my kinda guy👌🏼 that’s one badass old man

Clear lake at night is amazing!
Super loud walking baits get it done!
Hopefully Greg finds some tanks at night.
You guys have a great crew if I lived in you all's area I would love to fish and drink with you guys.🙂👍🍺
Dutch with the shades was great 😂
someone noticed haha
This was an awesome video, can’t wait too see the footage of the tournament !!!
Tweaker thieves are off the hook in Clear Lake!
Great video. Cant wait to see the night fishing!
It was cool seeing Coaches place.
BTW, The fact that Mike is well organized does not make him OCD! 😅
haha, maybe more so that he put his signature on everything he owns😂
Mikey, we see the progress and the diet man. Keep at it man. Looking slimmer everytime you're on GB videos.
GB, you really do a great job of videography. A+ cheers ☕️
Mike is looking ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kayak parking + food and drinks right on the water = AWESOME
I know right! I wish I had somewhere like that to go right on the water!
Laid up after knee surgery nice to live vicariously. Thanks
It’s great to watch your videos with great fishing, great friends and descriptive on tackles. Best luck on your tournament!
I’m at Clearlake until Saturday, Airbnb in the keys… totally fan girling because you’re here also!!!! Good luck Greg!!!
Just got home from work nothing beats Greg dropping a video right on time!
Caught my first "PB" just under 6lb at night so I have a taste for it! Sounds like a fun tourney set up! Tight lines.
Awesome coffee and watching Greg. Happy Friday y’all.
Good luck to all of you!!!
Go to Shag, Lubo, Jenson, Henderson and drag a jig. This time of year you'll get on em.
So exciting! Can‘t wait to see your next video 😄
So rad!
“I’m a collector”…😂😂😂😂
I feel ya Dutch!! Hate spending $40 on a bait to lose it in 5 casts!! 😂😂😂
We should do an iron horse bass cave Greg TV cribs addition 😂
Aldo clutching that pillow so tight has me rolling 🤣
Who else started river dancing at 30:00 😂🙋🏽♂️
Greg with full moon, Black buzz bait over grass beds on flats close to deep water at night. also, black spinner bait with single nickel Colorado blade "the thumpier" the better, good luck.
Wow! Awesome, still haven’t been to clear lake fishing myself. Love to make it there one day.
I have always wanted to go to Clear Lake myself...I have heard so many stories about it, but it would take me at least a week to drive there with my boat so I don't know if I will be going anytime soon😢
Welcome to Greg's Kayak Shop 🤣
FIRST TO THE KEY!!!!!!!!!
AOY baby. Let’s go Greg!!!!!

"theres some wedding dresses if you'd like..... Actually i would like to purchase one" 🤣 you guys are the best !! love the videos
Shortest length in pre-fish has to wear a wedding dress first day of tourney 🤣😂🤣
I love watching your videos, I wish I had friends like the dark horse
Greg, we are collecting can tabs for my son's elementary class. If you collect them from just one of your group trips, I'll bet we could fill a drinking glass lol. I'll pay for the shipping!! Think about it!!
fishing version of 24 hours of le mans love it!👍
Night fishing in a catfish nest. Oh boy, hang on. Good luck, guys.
Awana washer and drier - got the same ones haha. Been going for 8 years now.
I Need GB to submit his fitness account 😂 I watching him talk about his day on the couch like “I never realized dude is jacked” 😂
There are definitely some sketchy folks around Clear Lake for those that aren't familiar with the area.
Agree with all the comments great fishing crew good luck guys tight lines baby! Let’s go!
Man I wish I knew about this one. My best friend lives in the keys. Could have camped on the dock 😂
Oh mike has trimmed down some

I f’ing love Mike and I don’t even know the dude 😂

Good Morning Fellas

What an exciting different tournament. Best of luck to all of you! Avoid the catfish so as not to chew up your fishing time.🤣
Night fishing is absolutely amazing. My savage gear wake snake has smaasshhed! 6lb pb on it at like 1:30am
You know a lake is serious about their fisheries when they have kayak-ramps
Yall better be careful you'll wind up growing old together
Lol.
What you putting on your camera? Is it some kind of heat shield?
Awesome video….last year you rocked the Fantasista, this year has been all Winxh rods. Any preference on those?
thanks man, fantasistas are mainly for my 7'5'' and 7'6'' applications like jigs, punching, etc. Big thing with the winchs' are for mostly moving baits like chatterbaits, crankbaits, and some topwater. The winchs have more of that parabolic bend that really keeps the fish pinned and lets them at those moving baits better too
lets get it gb
Omg…Dutch it’s good to see I’m not the only one with baits I don’t throw. I’m sick of the whopper plopper knock off Greg please any other bait this video.
Lol. I thought I was the only one who had that dream. I can never find all my gear.
Is there any place in Newsome land that doesn't have criminals?
how bad were the mosquitos. everytime ive been to clear lake they are out on the water in full force as soon as you stop they surround you and at night forget about going out at night
Man catfish would have been some good eating
Man I wish I knew what the rod transport systems use is the red big sleeve with the straps
Rod Carrier - bit.ly/32iGt4z
Greg… fish fry with all them kitties brotha. Have you ever thought about it? 🤔
Mike looks like he is losing weight.
Just curious, any reason you don't plug those scupper holes?
Im forcasting some naps..and 104.5 inches to win
I live at Clearlake and I've caught more catfish on bass lures than actual bass. Pisses me off
Night time
Gold Colorado blade with red, purple, black, or blue skirt
Black and blue need rig
Ole monster worm
Chatter bait gold blade
First fish is a 8lber. Not too bad haha
hahah
Hey bro , what shoes and pant do you use for winter time ? I’m trying to be comfortable, I hate get my feet wet
Here kitty kitty
So jealous. Your in my backyard but I was out of town during the tourney. Sorry I missed it.
Thread fin shad die off, happens every fall. Some years low Oxagen will kill thousands of fish. The shad school so thick they deplete the already low Oxagen. I have seen huge rafts of giant crappy. bigger than a football field. Talk about Stink!
Looks like fish until you drop.
I never see you use a Texas rigged senko or worm. Is there a specific reason?
☕
why did you bring both kayaks?
Man, are there any restaurants like that on cayuga Lake? I wanna pull my kayak up after a long day and get some grub that's so cool!
Wolfies has a dock right on the wtaer
@@mattseifert are they good food?
@@dne3142 I thought so. Standard bar food (burgers, salads, wings, etc). Pretty tasty and nice atmosphere (especially in the summer when the back deck is open).
@@mattseifert sweet! Thank you! I'll definitely check that out!
agreed with the other comments, wolfies is solid. they'll also let you launch a kayak there if you call in advance and park in the way back. burger and beer after a day of fishing cant beat it
Yo what kayak rack is that orange yak sittin on?
Greg any information on the kayak give away?
