I can tell you why I like Greg so much! This guy is a true fisherman and he is a good person to watch and learn from! And he is very nice to other fisherman, I’ve seen him give others baits and teach them how to fish it, and he even rigged it up for a bank fisherman and gave him pointers on how to fish it! I have been watching him for about 3 years maybe a bit more! He is a very honest person!!!
What a great result for a day that felt so tough! Thanks for this, I’m still trying to learn all I can about Cayuga without having to drive the full 5 hours to get there. Bailey seems like such a nice guy too btw.
Awesome job. You struggled with different obstacles but never lost your focus. Great job. Me, I would have thrown it in the water and taken up sewing. 😂😂.
Greg, The reason time flies when in NY is because winter is fast approaching! It just snowed on Whiteface mountain in the Adirondacks on June 18th. I hate it!
My brother and I name our bass size after naval sub/ship classes - attack subs and boomers for +5lbs or PT Boats (dinks), and destroyers and Cruisers. Read a lot of Tom Clancy in the 80s and 90s. That first fish was definitely a "boomer".
That second or third fish you caught on the spinnerbait was chasing your blades. You set the hook when he hit the blades, that's why you hooked him from the under side but forward....,
For some reason I really enjoy the New York video better. It seems like the lakes are more beautiful and healthy. But New York winters are long so I guess it makes sense to live in California.
I just got the Slayer Max 10 - love it so far. Your videos definitely turned me on to Native Watercraft. Where did you get the seat risers for the Slayer Max 10? Another question - foot pegs or no foot pegs? Which do you prefer?
I have the Slayer 10 too. No foot pegs necessary since you're pedaling mostly. In skinny water you might paddle but for me, it's never long distances. My 2 cents
Great content bro. So I was curious you used to fish with a bunch of curados and now it looks like a bunch of revo stx reels just curious why the switch 🤔
Even if you didnt take 1st you always seem to finish in the top ten which is very respectable. Repping cali the right way! Your sportsmanship is admirable and video content is always amazing. Thank you for sharing GB
Do you have any issues with your Rouge Fishing phone tether coming off? Every time I pull my phone out of my PFD the top corners come off, how do you get yours to stay on?
Love your passion for fishing, Greg. Been watching you for a long while. Keep up the great videos. Btw I know exactly what trailer you were throwing on that spinnerbait. But I understand you have to make your sponsors look good. Happy fishing!
Can you do a video explaining yours/anyones setup? Like why you pair this rod with this lure/line. You personal opinion. Or maybe you think this works better with a light rod instead of medium heavy.
Fish jumping off my board is my kryptonite. Then I started putting my net to the left side of the board. Happened only once since then and I catch mostly spotted bass which are famous for it.
I use war eagle spinnerbaits did you ever try them there very weedless and pretty strong overall ? Thanks for the vid Greg i love when your fishing 7 hours from me because your technique usually works for me also. Great job brother not a bad spot you have to stay positive and confident no matter what because you will have a blast every trip the fish sometimes just dont want to cooperate
Theres always bass under and around docks so thats a good choice .A spinnerbait and a swimjig are my 2 confidence baits all year except winter they work non stop and if that doesn't work i go with a soft and hard jerkbait that works all year every month
Hey can you do another kayak set up video? I saw the one you had years ago. Looking to set one up similar. Maybe add in some differences between what you have now and the titan?
I know you’re on the road with not much gear but did you try a jerkbait to slow down when they got locked or tick a chatter bait over the top of the grass? I also don’t see you use a medium diving crankbait much- is it because you try and don’t have success or don’t have confidence?
I’d love to fish that lake. Maybe next year. Just seen someone got the NY record for small mouth in Cayuga lake. I’d be drop shot fishing deep or Ned rigging deep. Another great video. Great content.
What an awesome lake Greg. Incredible. Well done on the recovery from misery. I hate that one moment when optimism turns into…”…..I think the sky is falling….” LOL. Been there too many times!!!!
Great Video Greg, I am a newer TH-camr and wanted to know what software you use to edit your videos on or what you would recommend? Keep up the great work and cant wait for the next video!
Great video. I love them all but prefer Our home water ones the most. Plan on tripping out to Cali and Florida in the next few years for some outings. Hopefully I’ll be out on Cayuga a lot if not this late summer next spring for sure in a Jackson Bite. Can’t wait
Great job salvaging another tournament. Top ten not bad at all. It appeared when the big ones bit you paused the spinner and let it flutter or slow down. Not sure if you noticed that. Anyway, thanks again for the best vids out there. Keep up the great work.
I might have tried the spinner bait and jig on those docks, especially the spinner bait. I'm a spinner bait kinda guy. Good showing though. Good luck in the next 1
Greg, you had a great tournament, and trip home. Forr what you dealt with. The weather, broken baits, and the net. The handle coming off like a broom stick, was classic. 🤣 You alway's adjust, and that's what makes you the angler you are! 🙏 😎 🎣
Greg, I've watched your kayak shows and now I just bought a pelican catch pwr 100 kayak. Planning to do what you do and have fun. Thanks for your shows.
WOW the suspense! Congrats on the 6th Place finish! We were yelling at the TV when the net issues came up LOL It's weird how weather affects the location of the bass (the story of our lives!) Glad your confidence level came back up 👍 Thanks again for your videos - good luck on your next adventure 😊
Did I mention this before? Think I may have...when I was little my Dad was a guide at my Granny and Gramps resort. The Zebco crew would come up and once invited my Dad to fish in the south. I think they went to Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida in spring. My Dad came home with a bunch of spinnerbaits and I fished them that summer. Fell in love with how versatile they are. Still a go-to for me after all these years.

It was definitely an interesting day out there
@@BEtheFish you did a hell of a job out there. You mind saying what you caught most of yours on?
@@scottbostic6247 dragging a 1/4oz (pegged) Texas rigged Berkley MaxScent General
@@BEtheFish cool. Great job man, you've been kicked it.
@@scottbostic6247 thanks!
Always enjoy the NY trips! Thxs & way to grind it to make a respectful day out of it!
18:25. “Please and thank you” will make everything better.
Greg, The reason time flies when in NY is because winter is fast approaching! It just snowed on Whiteface mountain in the Adirondacks on June 18th. I hate it!
That’s true! Haha. Winter will be here before we know it, unfortunately
i hear that! Thats crazy! I remember when I lived in Saranac on Flower Lake 6 years ago, fishing was great this time of year!
Good job man, way to keep up the grind.. alot of the times that's what makes the difference between top 10 and bottom 10..
That’s a fact
You did very good Greg. Awesome video man Love it!👍👊
Good job! I think you need a new net lol
My brother and I name our bass size after naval sub/ship classes - attack subs and boomers for +5lbs or PT Boats (dinks), and destroyers and Cruisers. Read a lot of Tom Clancy in the 80s and 90s. That first fish was definitely a "boomer".
See you there May 6th?
Bro tanks for your time and your videos I’ll like them all tanks congratulations on your tour in New York
Just love yours tournament videos, here in South Africa ours begin in August. June is the beginning of winter🇿🇦
Hey Greg! Love seeing you come back to Ny! Would love to know if we could ever get up at the same lake and rip some lips!! Tight lines bro!
That second or third fish you caught on the spinnerbait was chasing your blades. You set the hook when he hit the blades, that's why you hooked him from the under side but forward....,
Still a winner 🏆! I hate it, when weather and prefish change quickly over night
Was this the weekend before the state record SMB was caught on Cayuga?
Something new I do with my spinner is cut the paddle tail off and then add and small blade and ummmm its too op right now
@gregblanchard did you see a guy caught the state record smallie on Cayuga recently?
Greg, do you think we can fish together on the delta or on any lake? I don’t have a kayak, but I would love to learn how you do it.
love watching the video u did a great job at least im am learning alot from watching u
8 mins on the water and a near 6?? You’re too much on practice day 😂😂
What boots are you wearing if you don't mind me asking?
Looks like Raymarine needs to add a 'Donkey' icon to library!
Just fished this place for the first time this spring. Fun lake.
Is that 360 imaging on the top right picture of the graph?
For some reason I really enjoy the New York video better. It seems like the lakes are more beautiful and healthy. But New York winters are long so I guess it makes sense to live in California.
We are really spoiled here in NY
That was a good tournament, you will do better on the next one
I just got the Slayer Max 10 - love it so far. Your videos definitely turned me on to Native Watercraft. Where did you get the seat risers for the Slayer Max 10?
Another question - foot pegs or no foot pegs? Which do you prefer?
I have the Slayer 10 too. No foot pegs necessary since you're pedaling mostly. In skinny water you might paddle but for me, it's never long distances. My 2 cents
check out Greg Massa on facebook, I've ordered from him before and his work is excellent
facebook.com/greg.massa.3
Hey Greg! do you use any mic or anything with your GoPros? You've always got great audio and commentary and I'm struggling to get that dialed in. TIA!
Nope, just the chesty audio
I used to visit Senaca when I was stationed in NY.
Where do I send my stx for a proper service greg?
Great Video (as Always) Greg.
"Hint": Always carry a few small and long wire ties in your tackle bag/box, and a roll of electrician's tape - TOO!
Great content bro. So I was curious you used to fish with a bunch of curados and now it looks like a bunch of revo stx reels just curious why the switch 🤔
He’s sponsored by abu/pure fishing now
Awesome video as always G-man!
No fish there, folks. Pre-fishing was a fluke! 👀
that areas not really that good anyways 😂
Even if you didnt take 1st you always seem to finish in the top ten which is very respectable. Repping cali the right way! Your sportsmanship is admirable and video content is always amazing. Thank you for sharing GB
Thanks E S!
@@GregBlanchardFishing your welcome!
The funny thing is ..he reps both.Lives in California.Family in NY
Take me with you bud!!!
Oh man. Big shout out to you Mr G and thank you for bringing us more content and tournaments. And can’t wait to see what’s next from cali. 👊🏽☀️
Wanted to see you try the south end
that first fish was a dolphin
Still not bad at all. Great job
Was this the lake that just broke the small mouth state record? 8.5lbs
yep lol
Good job Greg!! U a beast
Great stuff Greg-B. New York/Finger Lakes looks like a destination for myself near but distant future. Thanks man.
For sure man. Month of may you really can't go wrong
Do you have any issues with your Rouge Fishing phone tether coming off? Every time I pull my phone out of my PFD the top corners come off, how do you get yours to stay on?
I legitimately laughed at the callback to “casting montage and ‘1 hour later, no bites’”
cursed myself🤣
From Now: Happy tomorrow birthday Greg; cheers Up and thanks for share the videos.
Thank you sir!
@@GregBlanchardFishing hi Greg, the number and user above this coment it is true?? Or is spam, to report it....

Morning anglers
Can you do a video explaining yours/anyones setup? Like why you pair this rod with this lure/line. You personal opinion. Or maybe you think this works better with a light rod instead of medium heavy.
Bangin video!
Another great video Greg congratulations 🎣

Epic series Greg, and great finish! Safe travels!
Different conditions altogether. Windy and partly cloudy. Not calm and sunny like day before.
great trip!
Awesome tourney, way to stay focused despite the faulty net!
I know you’re on the road with not much gear but did you try a jerkbait to slow down when they got locked or tick a chatter bait over the top of the grass? I also don’t see you use a medium diving crankbait much- is it because you try and don’t have success or don’t have confidence?
hey Greg - @25:51 - the 17.75 catch - did you get any deductions on the image for having your finger touching the gill cover?
Heading up to cayuga from pa next week ! Are their still alot of fish up north still ? Any help would be cool ! TY
You're my favorite fisherman to watch. 👍🏾
I've been rolling a white spinner baits in PNW and chatter baits...my PB day with those two baits.. good luck fishing!
Always love the New York fishing videos! It makes me want to travel from Georgia and fish there so badly!
Bailey is learning too much from that podcast of his 🤣 no slouch for sure. You did awesome man. Keep it up brother 👊
I’d love to fish that lake. Maybe next year. Just seen someone got the NY record for small mouth in Cayuga lake. I’d be drop shot fishing deep or Ned rigging deep. Another great video. Great content.

Good luck tomorrow!! Hope everything goes well! Be safe out there!! Thanks for the fishing trip!!
Fun day on the water, man! Thanks for the shout 👊🏻👊🏻

Great vid/series in NY Greg!
Only thing missing was a Hazy in your hand.😉
Cheers!🍻

Great job salvaging another tournament. Top ten not bad at all. It appeared when the big ones bit you paused the spinner and let it flutter or slow down. Not sure if you noticed that. Anyway, thanks again for the best vids out there. Keep up the great work.
Always like your videos when you go to New York Greg nice fish looks like a great time up there in New York good job
I might have tried the spinner bait and jig on those docks, especially the spinner bait. I'm a spinner bait kinda guy. Good showing though. Good luck in the next 1
Greg, you had a great tournament, and trip home. Forr what you dealt with. The weather, broken baits, and the net. The handle coming off like a broom stick, was classic. 🤣 You alway's adjust, and that's what makes you the angler you are! 🙏 😎 🎣
Really enjoyed watching you fish this tournament. Great job!!
Greg,
I've watched your kayak shows and now I just bought a pelican catch pwr 100 kayak. Planning to do what you do and have fun.
Thanks for your shows.
I grew up in Ithaca it’s so cool to see someone fish Cayuga! I love that lake❤️
WOW the suspense! Congrats on the 6th Place finish! We were yelling at the TV when the net issues came up LOL It's weird how weather affects the location of the bass (the story of our lives!) Glad your confidence level came back up 👍 Thanks again for your videos - good luck on your next adventure 😊
Nice Dude!! 6 place ain’t to bad considering the slow start
I had the same net has you but it started to get loose from the handle like yours. I upgraded to the yak attack net and I love it. Try it out
Lol! The bird got em self a 15 incher. Really? Never seen that before.
Dude, great content! Love the tournament videos. You have inspired me to try my hand at yak fishing.
He’s the GOAT
Greg tourney vid = instant 👍
@Greg Blanchard is this legit?
Great job as always, Greg! NY looks unreal. You haven't missed anything in CA , except huge winds and triple digit heat.
I’m jealous of 66° water temp. I fished 86° today.
Hey Greg. I was just notified about a contest. Is this real?
Solid effort Greg. Your videos alone are enough to call a tournament successful.
Keep having fun and tight lines!
The first question my girl asked was “where does he pee?” Lol
Just broke the state record small mouth on Cayuga lake 9.6 lbs
0:13 -- man, Greg must've had to get up at 1:30am for it to be this dark in the morning!
NY is wack man haha
Great video Greg, Definitely had me on the edge of my seat watching this one.... Time to get a new net... thanks again
Ay man, it’s been 5 days. You been alright?
