Somebody's using your Channel to scam your fans they said I want a real from you and and it wasn't you just trying to let you know
Greg, I ordered a sun hoodie GYO but the wrong one. I wanted the new printed one. How can we contact to discuss further. Thanks man.
@@BIGjohnson302 Hey Bandon, sent ya an email
@@GregBlanchardFishing Greg the only email I got from you was that you hearted my comment. Lol but this is the sun hoodie I wanted in XL please. Anyways it’s the new white sun hoodie with black print with GYO on the back.
Try the Choppo 120 Greg. Been fishing the Delta my whole life & im by no means a pro ha however we do have a few mutual fishing buddies as well. But we never met. The 90 gets bites! The 120 gets bites and the BIG bites. My boy caught his pb on the 120 size. Thats all I throw is the 120 on the delta. The 90 on lakes. The 100 never lol.
id like to see you take fishermens life out for a day of bassin and him take you out for rockfishing outta the kayaks i feel like you two would get along and make some good content! much love greg!
Also facts
Greg I purchased a sun hoodie on your gyo site but I got the wrong one. I meant to order the new print sun hoodies with the black print.could you reply to this message so we can straighten this out before they ship out on Tuesday? Thanks man I appreciate ya.
Taku of Outdoor Chefs Life would be great.
@@BIGjohnson302 Hey Brandon, sent you an email
21:47 ohh I felt that and you were just looking in the water and thinking " yeah i'm never going to find that"
Throughly enjoy seeing Mt Diablo in the background of your videos. Brings back a lot of memories!
Thank you.
👍 nice catch on the gilly!!
When bass are eating bluegill, it’s hard to go wrong with the Jackall Gantarell Jr. It’s the perfect size to where dinks don’t mess with but still tons of eats from decent fish to big fish. One of my all time confidence baits!
I need to throw mine more, haven't put in much time at all yet.... no bites or a follower.
Gosh I love the way they eat a Choppo!
The heart attack bait!
Man Greg, you are the man bro, straight hammer, I respect the way you do things an the dedication you put into your channel, with uploads every other day pretty much, it’s just super admirable!! I wish I could fish half as much as you do, keep up the hard work brother, much respect 🙏🏻🤙🏻🎣🔥💯
Thanks Greg BB looks so nice, lots of good water between there and Sherman.
Nothing like summertime Bassing
Love topwater!! I also love to watch you fish. You are a phenom out of a kayak!! Great vid man.
Another great video! Thanks Greg.
Top water is one of my favorite bites! So much fun! Great to see you slaying it in the heat!
One of my favorite times of year to fish 🔥
Another good one! On point with the bait selection...
Greg, I love watching you cast to the edge. You have some very accurate casting into those toolies.
Ouch ending but awesome day! Yeah!
Nice fishing Greg this video was fire !!!
Good morning, Greg! Thanks for yet another entertaining moment while waking up
Another quality video. Thank you for sharing!🤙
GB, it's a sign bro. Sheemano wants you to take her back. She's your main squeeze. Abu is just a side gig dropping side plates n stuff. Mmhhmm😅😂. Dope video. Love your stuff.
That was a good day....until that side plate popped off. Even MY heart sunk when I saw it sink.
loving the topwater footage!!!
Nothing better than hearing the violin play when you were punching 😂
Love that braid 🎻
Thanks for the morning Booster, I'm heading out to go fishing now🤙🏽
Good luck!
Finally got my kayak out this year and it was great
Greg, thanks for the awesome content. Cheers from Louisiana brother!
Cheers brother!
As usual another banger, all the different techniques you use you gotta love it. 👍
At least you can order a new side plate for that reel, sorry you had to lose it though.
Hi Greg, love your fishing vids
The music out after losing your reel plate hit home, lost my favorite baitcaster setup to the River Gods this weekend 😢
Thanks for creating such consistent content with great energy! Tight lines!
"Maybe a small bird" 😆 That one got me!
The delta is the juice today!
"That really sucks, because I really wanted to punch" lmao wasn't even that mad when half his reel feel in the water. Awesome video Greg.
Love these videos you’re killing it man we got a hook up one of these days I’ll take you where I fish the delta the megabass sleeper Gill has been killing it for me that Gilly looks so good!! Great vid
Great video thanks for sharing.
Man I miss the delta. Moved to Texas and that place is what I miss the most. Great video bro!
I grew up 1 mile from Big Break Marina. I essentially grew up fishing in and around that marina. We had a little tin boat in a slip there when I was a teenager and we fished there A LOT…. Would be really fun to head back out there no that I’m kayak fishing.
Another one! *DJ Khalid voice. Thanks for bringing us along sir!!
Would love too see another video of you in the backwaters/remote areas in the falcon! Love your stuff man!
@Greg Blanchard Great content!Also, I love how you put everything in the description. 🤙
Thank you brotha!
I went out to little lake on Thursday, caught 3 nice largies 4 nice rock bass (my first time catching rock bass) a big sunny, and 3 giant pickerel breaking my pb pickerel twice with 2 almost 4 lbers it was incredible! When you come back to NY I'd be honored to take you to that lake its about 45 - an hour away from seneca falls ultra clear water in a lake with a max depth of 28 feet so shallow water fishing too!
Nice to see you switch to the choppo 75 🤙😎
Greg’s always got those sweat jams 🎶
I had a side panel fly off when casting & I could see it because it was red & was able to recover it. Made me very aware of it after that! Nice day out thanks for sharing.
I've seen a lot of people lose side plates and It's heart breaking! lol...I'm still not sure how they come off like that...
Same thing happened to me multiple times with several reels I had with a detachable side plate for the brakes. Last time was on a hookset. I now buy my reels with the side plate that stays connected to the reel frame from now on.
For any newcomers, this is why you want to subscribe to his channel. Sit back and enjoy knowledge.
Another great fishing day with Greg. Thanks for your time. I was wondering when you were going to start punching. You kept showing all the grass beds and I was saying "what is taking him so long?" Ha! I do love the topwater bite though.
I have also lost the side plate on my favorite real once. I heard something hit the boat then the water and just before I casted I noticed the side plate was gone. Keep up the great work.
Haha cant go out on the Delta in the summer without a little punch action!
Nice Greg!😁🤙
That Berkley Fusion Flip hook is the real deal.
Good stuff Brutha! I was having that same problem today, just getting on the lil guys with the big tummies. Got one decent one that went 18½.
Dude when that fat one hit that Gilly I thought you were going to lose your rod, surprise! Then you loss your sie plate 🤣 everyone has this type of day, always remember some days your bug and some days your windshield, Great job Greg keep them coming.
Thx for taking us along bro. Where’s that launch at? It looks like Bass heaven in those arms.
best videos on da tube
it's just not the same without the orange net!
thanks for the video Greg, another great one as always!
Dang, losing that side reel is a bit of a bummer. I was camping in the Eastern sierra three years ago and the campers next to me asked to borrow a reel because they dropped their entire spinning reel in the river. I have no idea how it happened but they were bummed and i let them borrow one of my poles that i didnt mind getting ruined. I usually bring three and one fly rod. Luckily they returned it in one piece. Great video as always GB. The action on the gilly is insane. Catch you on the next one. Tight lines.
Greg, i knew you'd get on them, your next trip out. I love that bluegill bait, that's a big girl bait. Awsome fishing bro. Coffee, GB, and the Delta.😎 🙏 🎣
Thanks man! Enjoy the weekend 🇺🇸
I did My Delta Vid. Rippin lips. Lol. Stay safe, my friend. 🙏 😎 🎣
Awesome video! I've been getting out almost every morning from 5:30 to 8:30 and wearing them out! I don't have to be to work until 10:30 anymore so it has been great to have time to fish first thing in the morning before it's scorching hot...I just can't take the heat like I used! to...
Awesome man, best time to fish during the summer!
Bro, These real fishing vids are awesome. your bait choices influence me a lot. I have done really well last couple seasons on a pit boss like that and summer craw. throughout this year, I'd say a pit boss and a fluke and a popper have been my most successful baits. That berkley bullet you always use, the transparent with blue and darker top-----that caught me 3 pb's and got me a top 10 at chickamauga hobie.
I bought that bait because I saw you use it on the delta, and it caught me two 6lb class fish (21.5 and 22.25 inches), and two 5lb class (20 and 20.5). four fish over 20 inches over 2 days. I ened up getting dq'd after tourney cuz i posted some pics and didnt even realize I didnt wear my pfd day 2.....but I just wanted you to know...I wouldn't have even bought that popper if I didnt see you catch monsters with it. I call that color "the greg blanchard color" lol. even when I was telling people about the tourney, I said "you seen the popper greg blanchard uses? the bullet? thats the color". So thanks for your awesome vids trying out dif baits and putting in work. It has really helped me in my prefishing and bait selection for certain conditions.
Very nice, I like it
Sure wish I could cast like that!!
You know it's a biggin when you set the hook and rod bounces back like it's surprised LOL
Finally did my maiden voyagfe. It's not as easy as it looks and you make it look easy LOL
You'll get it dialed better and better with each trip!
Ouch on the reel! 🙁 I cursed at the TV for you 😉 Some of my club members roll their eyes at me because I keep a magnet in my boat locker. During boring moments, I magnet fish LOL. Thanks for showing us some nice-looking bass - you still have the best edited bass videos 👍 Other people don't have your excitement 😊
Have a happy and safe 4th of July 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Happy 4th Liz! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Been watching you for years, an I never see you fish ponds. Maybe try that to switch it up a lil. Keep the videos coming tho!
Gear lost in the water is always my perfect excuse to upgrade! Treat yourself Greg, you deserve it with these awesome vids.
I’d say Mike Iaconelli put in some work on that bait💪🏽 It’s also awesome you get to be sponsored by Berkeley.🤙🏽
Just curious- it may be an east coast thing but a lot of the tourneys and big fish in general are caught on large plastic worms Texas or Carolina rigged- it’s a hateful boring technique but it works for bigguns; ever thought about trying it out once you’ve got a limit instead of a drop shot which generally works but on smaller fish? Just my two cents- keep making awesome content, best part of my day seeing that notification ding
Bro! I love those little aggressive bass. I took a trip to my local spot and had aggressive little fish taking too water all day. Including a couple of bluegill hit my top water bait!
Those little ones will eat anything lol
I love the video man! This one in particular has inspired me to try some new techniques to catch fish this summer.
Hi ya Greg! Love the channel always great content! Question for ya: do you rig that gilly with flouro or on straight braid in the Delta? Thanks for any information!
Love the punching game! Too bad the side plate popped off...
I have caught some nice fish this summer already on my Gilly. I’ve caught them swimming it and my biggest came throwing it weightless Necko style
Alden Walden is the man!
That punch reel losing its side plate is a real bummer! Hopefully you can get a replacement plate from the parts department at Abu Garcia. I liked the look of that black raspberry and black thing. And it was a workhorse for you.
great day Brother .🤠 deff.a nice day on the Delta ....sucks about your reel......couple months ago on a hook set I accidently kick a spinning rod combo overboard I spent 30-40 mins trying to snag it with no luck 😭😭 ( only kinda good thing is ) it was a Low End 6'6'' combo nothing expensive .....under $75 I guess it was A good excuse to buy the 7'2'' rod I was planning to purchase LoL Tight LInes Greg always Enjoy the videos
Greg! The Bass I catch here in the Idaho gravel pit ponds are just like your Delta Bass. Small mouthed and head but fat and big bellies! I wonder also what they are full of!
When I fished Saturday, I caught 2 hawgs deep in the pads in 1ft of water lol they did not want to come past the pad line for whatever reason.
Yeah I've seen my side plate go flying into the water too
Well, now I know what to not do when I grab a rod from my crate🤣🤣
Its been 3 days…
More vids please
Greg come fish Lake Isabella with me man! they say the California state record is going to come out of my lake! Let me know when you want to go catch it! Just have to make sure we don’t go on a windy day because the lake sinks boats occasionally!
You say losing the plate sucks because you wanted to keep punching, I say that sucked because out of all you rod setups I’ve seen that was my favorite.
I need to get some choppo’s too them things work
If you aren't sponsored by Berkeley after that video... Then you should be. You're dedication goes noticed from update NY!
For the followers on that gilly I believe the figure 8 would get you a lot more hook ups would love to see you practice that technique more and you can catch some great footage from it
lol same thing happen to me. had to order a replacement side plate straight from the manufacture.
Just some random fire on the way to the local fishing spot! 😂 you should of tried to scoop that side plate up with the net.
Lol. Looked for about 10 minutes, couldn't even find it
Hey you should do a video of how you rig each of your lures
Great vid Greg, you should do a trip to Europe fish there!;-). Why do you have right en left casting reels? You have to switch all the time… ? Hi From Holland
Cheap insurance while I'm fishing Greg I always bring my fishing magnet with me.
You might have been able to retrieve the side plate..I use a short 15' line on mine.
☕️💨🎣 Mornin
Damn these fish were tearing up that Choppo!
How you liking the slober knocker!? How is it different from other chatterbaits?
Another awesome video Greg. I really miss California. Utah doesn’t quite have the quality bass fisheries that California does. Thanks for bringing us along.
13:20 Those Blue Gill were in Attack Formation Delta!
Is there any chance you fish Lafayette Resi ever, you look SUPER familiar and I feel like I might’ve seen you/asked what tackle shops you use 😂 I could be completely off though.
What lure is that it looks like a whopper plopper but too skinny on the back end? Thanks Greg your ripping them. Great video. Where do you launch maybe we can hook up some time and ill take you on my boat.
Greg, I gotta ask. How the hell can you sit out in that Cali ☀️☀️ with no hat? Anyway, love the videos homie. Keep'um coming.....🎣🎣🤙🏼🤙🏼🎣🎣
Lol, I think I'm so used to it at this point but it never really has bothered me. I
Ready for a frog bite..let's see
Landed the only fish off my Kayak from watching you. Is this the full time job or just a part time gig?
CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE DO A KAYAK TOUR
@4:29 what tidal app is the from? Love the simplicity of the graph
