It took me too many fish lost to realize I had to compensate for my body weight tipping the kayak TOWARDS the damn fish as I reached for it, creating more slack than I realized in that instant. You can actually see it here ...from two angles!!! The yak tips with a slap, slack lie, pop! .... Great editing on this, btw....I've been following forever. These are great stories, and your friends are great. (I wrote that before I watched the second lost fish ...and it's the same moment)
Greg you are so much a truly champion fishing angler. You have your ups and downs your a competitor and a go getter. That’s why I love your channel, because you show us your true emotions of what fishing means to you. It’s why people are so drawn to your channel content and you, on a side note I almost threw my breakfast at the wall when you lost that last fish lol. You have a subscriber for life thank you so much❤❤❤❤!
Damn, that hurt! We have all had that happen though...Thats why I don't use nets most of the time...I have lost more fish messing with the net than I have just reaching down and grabbing them with my hand...Great video anyway!
Great job out there man. That was a hard one to watch at the end right there. The feeling just sucks, makes you literally want to throw up lol. Ive lost more fish on that jig that any other jig but it has gotten me more bites than any other as well. Good luck on day 2!
Some heartbreaking moments for you Greg ; but you also caught the biggest fish of the day!!! That was a roller coaster 🎢 ride of day for you. You’re still a great fisherman!!!
Dude i just tuned in to your channel again i used to watch you all the time buts its been awhile. You got freakin jacked since i last watched. Nice job man love your videos.
Greg…..fishing spring here can be a challenge waiting for bass to begin hitting……one thing I think about when I get skunked day after day is…..’even Greg goes through skunk periods’…..
Greg, losing two big fish really hurt me just watching. And especially on a last cast. I was saying, please don't rush it bro. But sometimes they're just smarter than we are. Get'em on day two. Never know, as you say it's Fishing. Good luck, my friend! 🛶 🎣 😎
To be honest with you he isn’t the greatest fisherman I mean he good no doubt but I’ve seen way better to be honest I think Kristen fisher is the best TH-cam kayak angler
Wow Greg, talk about on the edge of my seat lol. Last cast and Oops. I think if you would have landed that last fish you would have been in first THATS FISHIN. Thanks for the video bro.
Man, when you lost that second fish right at the end I almost got sick to my stomach! I can only imagine how bad that felt. Another great video with you and the boys.
Great video. A lot to process. No way I'd have guessed you are 36. I feel your pain on those two that got away. Moments like those are what makes us shake when we do land the big ones!
Great way to start the week. Absolutely love waking up and watching your videos. I wonder how long will this go on and what am I gonna do if you ever decide to not make TH-cam videos anymore! Scaaaaaary thought. Lol. As far as the video is concerned. It's definitely frustrating to say the least to lose fish. I know you'll bounce back tho. Gotta give the other guys a fighting chance. Keep up the great work GB. Keep your head up.
Watching your videos has me itching to get out. Love the content! Up here in Eastern Oregon, so in and out of snow conditions still. Keep the videos coming, great way to start the morning.
Well that was heartbreaking. Tell the guys thanks for putting up with us on Sunday. What a great group. We'll stalk you...uh...talk to you next time you're in town. :)
14:15 That’s exactly wat happened to me this past weekend at Folsom. 4 days of prefishing, main was what produced for me but not tournament day. Creek arms was the way to go. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Ouch! I feel that one, just like a 5+ at shore yesterday on the Cullshad.... Does not give you the warm fuzzies that's for sure. (This comment was when I saw the First lost fish...)
Greg 1 more question, I am so eager to purchasing merchandise shirts and hoodies xxxl. I know we address that question already but I’m just anxious to support your channel as well as support it. Thank you so much for the inspiration in bass fishing I can’t seem to get enough of it to doing what you’re doing thank you sir!!!!! ❤
I felt your pain when those fish came unbuttoned! Of course, the dogs were terrified when I jumped off the sofa screaming at the TV! However, since it's a two-day event, I have faith in you to make up the loss. Talking about grinds, Camp Far West on March 23 was definitely an exercise in patience. The lures had to be worked so slowly that I was nearly dozing my way out of the seat. Not only was there intermittent rain and 17 mph winds, but the threat of lightning was overhead no matter where we were on the lake. Fortunately, the weather calmed down by the weigh in, plus we scraped up a small limit. Happily you still placed in the top 10 - it will get better 😊🎣😊
It could have been worse, and in all honesty, should have been… but at the end of the day, you kept yourself alive. When you measured that first fish I thought ‘oh no, he’s gonna get DQ’d for submitting a short fish’ but I’m glad you remembered the limit size before submitting. Cheers to a hopeful clash on Cayuga this year! 🤙
Well Greg…one of these days I’ll actually get then CB ace to chat with you. You were out with the bass hookup the day I was supposed to be on the delta and ended up sick…the day you filmed this, I was on Pardee. I saw all you guys but didn’t realize it was a tournament. No wonder it was so tough…I was focused on that area you were…around the island and the coves at the south end of the lake. But…you had already beat it up. I was at salt springs valley reservoir earlier but it was horrible so I went to pardee and got there at 2pm. Your losses were heartbreaking. Hope to catch you in the water sometime.
Woke up to change my 3 week old babies diaper and now he wants to stay up to watch uncle Greg at work. 🤣 fishhh onnn!!
He’s gonna be just fine when he grows up if he keeps watching GB😂
@@dylanschannel6275yupp!! hope he catches his first bass by 2 years old! Haha
My 2 year old son loves watching Greg's videos with me as well man lol
My daughter shit herself around midnight and now we’re here 🤜🗡🤛
Dayum Greg. Suns out guns out. Lookin' fit.
Only fishing videos where I don’t “skip to fishing” because of y’all’s dynamic on camera lol. Love it!
I love how comfortable the guys have all become in the “pre tournament interview” everyone was awesome!
definitely! compare this to ones from like 3 years ago and its pretty wild🤣

That first one you lost had to hurt but that last one bet hurt even more.
The ol’ Irish bean soup joke - one of my all time faves.👊🏼
I feel for ya. Keep that rod tip up brother.
Was in a bad mood .. thanks Greg I really needed this..
Damn, that hurt! We have all had that happen though...Thats why I don't use nets most of the time...I have lost more fish messing with the net than I have just reaching down and grabbing them with my hand...Great video anyway!

Let’s go Dutch!! Greg, I feel your pain brotha!
Some heartbreaking moments for you Greg ; but you also caught the biggest fish of the day!!! That was a roller coaster 🎢 ride of day for you. You’re still a great fisherman!!!
Almost made me spill my noodles in my car with that last fish 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I know that feeling at the end Greg… You got this!
Folgers and a GB video. Perfect way to start my day ☕️ 🎣
When you hooked up on that last fish I said to myself “of course he did” lol. And then heartache 😔
Bummer dude. I felt that last one with ya
Pork chops and apple sauce.... love it
I can't wait to get back on the water! Your videos are awesome, I'd love to get a kayak myself it looks like a ot of fun.
I love all the pre-tournament joking around shit talking at 7:10. Must be fun waiting around with everyone
Dude i just tuned in to your channel again i used to watch you all the time buts its been awhile. You got freakin jacked since i last watched. Nice job man love your videos.
Greg…..fishing spring here can be a challenge waiting for bass to begin hitting……one thing I think about when I get skunked day after day is…..’even Greg goes through skunk periods’…..
As much pain as I felt watching that last fish come off, I know you must have felt it 10 fold. You took it like a champ though brother!
"pork chops and applesauce"... haha, love Santa.

Hands down best fishing content on TH-cam.
Now you trippin I love his vids but far from best
To be honest with you he isn’t the greatest fisherman I mean he good no doubt but I’ve seen way better to be honest I think Kristen fisher is the best TH-cam kayak angler
I feel like I could go out fish him in a kayak and mainly bass boat fish
@@tristenboyd2824lol
Well I guess that's the great part of free speech, you can have you own opinion even if it's entirely wrong 😂
Great content. I always enjoy your videos. Congrats on the Big Smallie.!
I love these trip videos! My absolute favorite
Greg is human after all..🤪🔥🔥🔥🤜🤛
Thanks for the trout updates I'm definitely hitting up the trout pond

Wow Greg, talk about on the edge of my seat lol. Last cast and Oops. I think if you would have landed that last fish you would have been in first THATS FISHIN. Thanks for the video bro.
Man, when you lost that second fish right at the end I almost got sick to my stomach! I can only imagine how bad that felt. Another great video with you and the boys.

4 days of prefishing, main was what produced for me but not tournament day. Creek arms was the way to go.
🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Oh man the 2 bass that came off i can feel the pain 😢..it will help out alot! Good luck on day 2!
Great day with a couple heartbreaking moments, tournament fishing in a nutshell!
That feeling of dragging a jig on the bottom and zoning out just taking it all in.. then all of the sudden. *bump bump*
That last cast had me on the edge of my seat. Then 😮 noooo!!!
Ouch! I feel that one, just like a 5+ at shore yesterday on the Cullshad.... Does not give you the warm fuzzies that's for sure. (This comment was when I saw the First lost fish...)
Man there was alot of emotions going through my head watching this video lol!! Good job Greg way to stay positive brother
Always amazing content!!! Never give up!!! Tight lines🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
It’s like watching a Fishing sitcom/ drama. Have to tune in to see what happens on next week’s episode of GB and the Dark Horse gang!!!

Dude.. I was hurting for you...man that's tough. I was yelling at the screen ..Noo 14 inches!! 14 inches!!lol

Thank you sir! Working on new merch and restocking as we speak! Will let everyone know once everything on the site is updated.

😢Palms UP with your netting bro! Use those giant biceps and forearms Greg! 💪
Dame that last 1.... you was to in the rush cause of that time.. very understanding.

Seriously.
Good times w/good friends.

Thank you for amazing content. Very inspiring, the ups and downs.
Wow! I can feel your pain with that two lost fishes🥵 you should be sitting on top of that ladder😰 Go get them next tournament.

Man that was tough to watch. My heart hurts too LOL
33:22 my heart😱😤 😭💔💔 I felt that Greg daaaayum I felt that
We got teased with nice weather, and now we're back to snow and ice in the finger lakes!
Great content... Havent even made it to the end of the video... Thanks!!!
That sequence of events on fish number three was crazy.
Looks like Greg has been curling kayaks for years!
Sun's out Guns out...
Watching your videos gives me huge confidence in the jig! Love it man keepem coming!
My wife was worried that something serious happened when I gasped violently and said, ooooah noooooooooooo!!!
Heart breaker 😂😢
🤣🤣🤣
Love the videos. Please keep making more great videos!
For a second there ..I thought you were going in after that fifth fish. Yikes!!!
haha, i probably should have
It could have been worse, and in all honesty, should have been… but at the end of the day, you kept yourself alive. When you measured that first fish I thought ‘oh no, he’s gonna get DQ’d for submitting a short fish’ but I’m glad you remembered the limit size before submitting. Cheers to a hopeful clash on Cayuga this year! 🤙
"Old school truck with the crank windows." Nah, someone was just too cheap to pay for the power window option in 2000. My 1988 has power windows. 😂
24:24 that meat stick came in clutch
Waiting on that limited edition Greg Blanchard Sierra pale ale. I’m buying it
Wake and bake!!!
Pardee is my backyard love this lake
9:20 a lot of yall young folks won't get Terrance's reference 😂 "that's swell!"
Good Video Greg! We all felt your pain.
I screamed NOOO with you!!
You handled that better than I would have. Couldn’t broadcast what I would have said on camera. 😂😂

Are you serious dude 😂🤧 dude that was exciting to see at the end my jaw dropped literally
