I've been averaging 100" of Smallies here in TN fishing some Local TNKATT kayak tournaments won 4 in a row, Big smallies!!!!! The place your fishing in this video is absolutely Beautiful!!!
Greg, when you switch to a different lure, can you take 10 sec and just explain and show how you are working it. For example with the jig, was it a very slow retrieve on the bottom or bouncing off the bottom or dead stick? I very rarely get to use a jig, so I am always looking to learn how to work different baits. Thanks. Love the videos. Learned a lot.
Boy, I wish Rayburn would be that mirror calm. We’ve just had rain and wind, then wind and rain. The spring has been ruined by the high winds. There’s that old saying, “The wind is your friend!”, but not the hurricane-like ones we’ve had. Good luck 🍀 on the tournament. You’ll do well.
Man the place looks pretty awesome!! Don't think many people get how much work goes into these posts. It's allot, appreciate the effort, fun to watch and makes me wanna get out on the water!! Good luck in the tourney!
much appreciated Mike! Glad some folks like yourself realize that and for sure. Lots of work to get a video out but to me it's fun to do and I always enjoy the feedback!
Lake George was a an awesome tournament, was a pleasure meeting and talking with you. You killed the May NY State Challenge. Cant wait to see the tournament day footage!!
Thats a Lake Trout! Always wanted to catch one of those! Will be going up to the Adirondacks in 10 days fishing for an entire week! Can't wait, awesome video!
Greg...I was born in Albany, and lived up in Lake George area for awhile. Beautiful country there, and yes..."The Water is Clear"! Good luck in your tourney.
GREGGGGG. Man, you've got me both nostalgic and bummed that I'm not there casting right beside you! Lake George is one of the most beautiful and best producing lakes in that area. Looks like you've got a good game plan. Have a great tournament day! Also, that was a lake trout you caught. A pretty nice one too!
Awesome lake trout. If your ever up this way again hit up around shelving rock. I’ve landed Monster bass right off those rocks and around the island across from it. Looked like you got pretty close a few times. I kept yelling at my tv telling you to go that way lol. Glad to see our lake getting some national attention from the angling community.
Awesome fish Greg! I used to hang out a lot at lake George during the summers when I lived in the Albany NY area as it was only a little over an hour away. Did not fish it much back than but a great place to hang out. I did not have a Kayak back then but looking at it now I should head up there someday. I hope you do well in the tournament! Good Luck!
Love the video Greg! That was Hilarious squeeze in the kayak into the room, but brother I don’t blame you one bit! LOL very anxious to see how you did on tournament day. You are slaying them with the jig. God bless!
Another great video bud! That weekend was the best bite I've had in a while, came back to Jersey and garbage fishing lol. Up north more, I hit all mine on a perch pattern jerkbait and red ruckus.
I really do enjoy watching you fish...you gotta going on man...you should have no problem winning the tournament with the way you fish...go get em..be rooting for ya..
Hope you did good. Can’t wait for the upload. There’s an island called Bass Island over there I saw. Hopefully it treated you well!! And I finally ordered a few jigs through your tag Buddy, Thanks Greg!!
The cap falling off of the thumb bar is a known issue on the curado k. It has happened to a bunch of my friends. Man you cracked em on a jig! Nicely done!
Great vid! Might I suggest a coffee-press? With a little kettle to boil water you never have to endure no coffee, or worse, bad coffee. I use an Aerobie Aeropress. About the size of a soft plastics satchel when nested together.
I did the tourney as well but hit the northern end by Ticonderoga but the islands you were at were an option. Lol evidently a better option congrats man.
Greg...my house was literally behind you when you set off from Rogers park beach. Gonna be getting a pedal,kayak this spring. Can not get over the hogs you caught all within a mile or two in either direction. What size weight were you using on those two piece jig baits? Great videos !
I had a few of the clutch bar buttons pop off on my Curados; I lost a couple of them too. I live around the corner from the Canadian Shimano service center and the techs there had a bunch of clutch bar buttons on hand. Apparently, the epoxy used to adhere the button to the clutch bar assembly wasn't doing the job. Nevertheless, the tech I deal with had all of my Curados fixed in a matter of 15 minutes. Great service and I haven't had a problem with my reels since. Hope you're able to get your Curado sorted too. Thanks for all the amazing content.
Great Video Greg. I would have thought you might have tried a few other lures and not bet the whole tournament on one bait. Also, a lot of the guys in Texas don't land their fish during pre fish days. They let them shake off in hopes they might bite again on tournament day. Can't wait to see the next video. Best of luck.
Thanks Larry! I probably didn't showcase it enough but I tried the dropshot, jerkbait, senko and some other baits during prefish. Just everytime I picked up that jig I got a bite so I was near sold on it
That was a pretty good day. Alot better then my lake. My lake sucks! I fished for 4hrs. Last Sunday and caught 1- small bass and a giant flathead catfish. The catfish was hiding in the shade behind a cypress tree. In about 1-2 ft. Of water. It gave me a great fight. It must have weighed about 30-35 #s and was about 4ft. Long. 🙂
Doing my first KBF tourney in Texas.....I don’t have a fish finder, however, you have any advice for me on where I should fish a lake I’ve never been on?
Whenever I click on your links to see what baits your using it goes to Fish USA but always says error 404 and has a pic of Chad Hoover, any ideas?? I love your channel btw! Best fishing kayak videos around, keep up the great work Greg 👍
Jeez Greg, you seem to be hitting all the spots I am... But it seems to be right after I leave, I was up at George during memorial day weekend. DAMNIT GREG I was at the same hotel 😂
The slayer looks pretty sick man, I am thinking about getting a Slayer 12xc, mostly because I can’t afford a pedal drive lol. How would you say yours paddles?
Same thing happen to my curado k last week really letting me down , but yo yoing a red lipless on wind blown points you will def out fish everyone , spro aruka shad 75 is my fav but your lv could work to if it’s deep enough
Ah, I didn't! We had check in there after the tournament but I had a pretty long drive home working on little to no sleep so I passed on the beer ( very tough decision).
That was a Lake Trout Greg,.
I've been averaging 100" of Smallies here in TN fishing some Local TNKATT kayak tournaments won 4 in a row, Big smallies!!!!! The place your fishing in this video is absolutely Beautiful!!!
BASS n BEER !! You need to get him on those big brown ones y’all be on up there!
You caught a lake trout on a bass jig!!!! Dude that's crazy awesome. Good luck bro

I very rarely get to use a jig, so I am always looking to learn how to work different baits. Thanks. Love the videos. Learned a lot.
I will keep that in mind for sure. Trying to incorporate more education type content throughout these video so thats great feedback!
I actually think is a great idea!
I guess it is kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good site to watch new series online ?
@Callum Brandon flixportal :P
@Julio London Thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it!
12:30 - Greg, a great way to narrate pre fish was to show us on maps where you were and where the fish are.👍🏼
Hype for this tournament footage, those bass were gorgeous!
Boy, I wish Rayburn would be that mirror calm. We’ve just had rain and wind, then wind and rain. The spring has been ruined by the high winds. There’s that old saying, “The wind is your friend!”, but not the hurricane-like ones we’ve had. Good luck 🍀 on the tournament. You’ll do well.
Love the color of the water in Lake George.
Big ol lake trout. And your NY fishing is still blowing my mind.
blowing my mind too! such a fantastic month of fishing in this state
Man the place looks pretty awesome!! Don't think many people get how much work goes into these posts. It's allot, appreciate the effort, fun to watch and makes me wanna get out on the water!! Good luck in the tourney!

You’re the man Greg. It’s cool to watch you and feel like I’m there and I love how you go off on your own adventures. Truly an inspiration
Lake George was a an awesome tournament, was a pleasure meeting and talking with you.
You killed the May NY State Challenge. Cant wait to see the tournament day footage!!
Great to meet you as well! Fun times up there. I hope they do the tournament there again next year
@@GregBlanchardFishing Great meeting you! It such an awesome lake, after watching your video I am going back tomorrow to hit those spots!! Lol
Thats a Lake Trout! Always wanted to catch one of those! Will be going up to the Adirondacks in 10 days fishing for an entire week! Can't wait, awesome video!
What a beautiful area of the country!! That jig was working well for you. Can't wait to see tournament footage!
Big ol lake trout !!!!
Greg you are my favorite channel!
🙋🏼♂️
Never a bad video
Greg...I was born in Albany, and lived up in Lake George area for awhile. Beautiful country there, and yes..."The Water is Clear"! Good luck in your tourney.
Man some nice fish. Can’t wait to see the tournament video. That’s some clear water
Don't know what it is about Greg's channel, but I always enjoy all his vids.
kendawg44 he’s like the Keanu Reeves of fishing. Even when there’s action he stays cool and relaxed lol
I fished the KBF trail series at lake george and also did great on a finesse jig. Beautiful lake.
you and kickintheirbasstv are straight killing it right now
Need to get a 12 like him! lol
GREGGGGG. Man, you've got me both nostalgic and bummed that I'm not there casting right beside you! Lake George is one of the most beautiful and best producing lakes in that area. Looks like you've got a good game plan. Have a great tournament day! Also, that was a lake trout you caught. A pretty nice one too!
Agreed, such a phenomenal lake!
That was a beautiful lake. New York has some really scenic lakes. Good luck on Tourney day.
Go get them Greg good luck in the tournament
Awesome lake trout. If your ever up this way again hit up around shelving rock. I’ve landed Monster bass right off those rocks and around the island across from it. Looked like you got pretty close a few times. I kept yelling at my tv telling you to go that way lol. Glad to see our lake getting some national attention from the angling community.
Some really nice football bass in the lake. I love the scenery of the lake. As always happy fishing and tight lines my friend.
Don’t stop thinking Greg you got something figured out. LOL you are on Roll and you keep it real Love your Videos Thank for what you do
lol, thanks Robert! appreciate it
Beautiful fish, Congratulations this place is wonderful.
It seems here where I do my Fishery too.
*Hug!!!* 👍🎣
Awesome fish Greg! I used to hang out a lot at lake George during the summers when I lived in the Albany NY area as it was only a little over an hour away. Did not fish it much back than but a great place to hang out. I did not have a Kayak back then but looking at it now I should head up there someday. I hope you do well in the tournament! Good Luck!

Great you were able to get everything prep and get onto some solid spots. Good luck in the tournament if you haven't already started fishing!
Hope you did good. Can’t wait for the upload. There’s an island called Bass Island over there I saw. Hopefully it treated you well!! And I finally ordered a few jigs through your tag Buddy, Thanks Greg!!

The cap falling off of the thumb bar is a known issue on the curado k. It has happened to a bunch of my friends. Man you cracked em on a jig! Nicely done!

GOD DAMNIT GREG WE SHOULD BE SLEEPING!!!!!!!
Great vid! Might I suggest a coffee-press? With a little kettle to boil water you never have to endure no coffee, or worse, bad coffee. I use an Aerobie Aeropress. About the size of a soft plastics satchel when nested together.
That Keitech M2 has been money for me in a lot of lakes.
my go to football jig now! will have one tied on all year
Greg I was there. It was my first Trail event ! Thanks for the footage. Love your videos. I'm thinking of getting a Titan 10 for next year.
Thanks Anthony! Nice, it was a fun and well ran tournament. Try one and out and if you like it go for it. Great boat for sure.
Love your video's and channel!
Thanks Brian!
Quality fish
love the north east vids.... north east represent
NE has some tanks!
Cranking some tanks. Looking forward to seeing some tourney footage!
I did the tourney as well but hit the northern end by Ticonderoga but the islands you were at were an option. Lol evidently a better option congrats man.
Nice lake trout

Hey Greg,
Good luck in the KBF Tournamnt...
You was on FIRE🔥🔥🔥In the Last 1...Be Safe My Friend and GL...
Your videos are great! Lake George is a beautiful place. What time of year is this? Looks like you have the lake to yourself lol.
I had a few of the clutch bar buttons pop off on my Curados; I lost a couple of them too. I live around the corner from the Canadian Shimano service center and the techs there had a bunch of clutch bar buttons on hand. Apparently, the epoxy used to adhere the button to the clutch bar assembly wasn't doing the job. Nevertheless, the tech I deal with had all of my Curados fixed in a matter of 15 minutes. Great service and I haven't had a problem with my reels since. Hope you're able to get your Curado sorted too.
Thanks for all the amazing content.
Nice man! appreciate the info, I'll give them a shout
@@GregBlanchardFishing, glad I could help.

What your jig setup? Rod/reel..line? Lol. I wana throw more jigs mainly swim and casting jigs. What do you recommend!. I do mostly bank fishing..
sets hook looks back at camera*.....eyeroll* "aint shit"
Now your in my neck of the woods spent a lot of time in LG
That was a pretty good day. Alot better then my lake. My lake sucks! I fished for 4hrs. Last Sunday and caught 1- small bass and a giant flathead catfish.

wow, what a beast of a fish! nicely done!
Doing my first KBF tourney in Texas.....I don’t have a fish finder, however, you have any advice for me on where I should fish a lake I’ve never been on?
I see that thumb bar cap on the Curado K comes off plenty easy ...
sucha bummer, great reel otherwise
My curadoK just did the same thing last night as yours with the button cover. Did you hit up shimano?
I bet that lake is really beautiful come fall leaf change.
for sure, I think the entire Adirondack region in fall is gorgeous. Some really good beers coming out that region too
Whenever I click on your links to see what baits your using it goes to Fish USA but always says error 404 and has a pic of Chad Hoover, any ideas?? I love your channel btw! Best fishing kayak videos around, keep up the great work Greg 👍
ah, thanks man. yeah, they just revamped the site and all my links are broken until i update them lol
Congrats on your 420th video❤💛💚
Jeez Greg, you seem to be hitting all the spots I am... But it seems to be right after I leave, I was up at George during memorial day weekend. DAMNIT GREG I was at the same hotel 😂
That was a big big lake trout
Greg you’re the man! Quick question, how to you manage to keep such good WiFi to upload content on the road
Those were nice large mouths man
Good luck
The slayer looks pretty sick man, I am thinking about getting a Slayer 12xc, mostly because I can’t afford a pedal drive lol. How would you say yours paddles?
Nice man! It paddles really good, not fast but it's easy to move. I've used the xc and that is a quick and stable boat. I would recommend for sure.
Fish release at 16:? Thanks and great videos as always
Same thing happen to my curado k last week really letting me down , but yo yoing a red lipless on wind blown points you will def out fish everyone , spro aruka shad 75 is my fav but your lv could work to if it’s deep enough
When you coming back to NY to fish? I live near Cayuga Lake?
That one fish was a lake trout. Did you have time to hit the Adirondack Brew Pub? It was just down the road from where you were staying.
Ah, I didn't! We had check in there after the tournament but I had a pretty long drive home working on little to no sleep so I passed on the beer ( very tough decision).
What fishing knot do you use? You seem to tie on pretty quick.
i'd probably premiere a 20 minute vid around that one fat laker, greg just throws it back in disgust lol
haha, it was a fun fish for sure. another guy caught a few off that same point on a ned rig haha
That was a lake trout tons of them in Cayuga
Awesome prefish video! how do you keep your rear camera powered while it's raining?
Thanks! I keep it plugged in, no issue there. only issue is the lens will fog up with rain somteimes
