Greg, I enjoy your channel more than most. Your editing is great, your videos are the perfect length, and you never post 'clickbait' on your channel. It's really really refreshing. Keep it up, don't change a thing and tight lines!
Haha I have 3 videos I think on the channel where they come right at the boat. Nothing really crazy but they're too big and too curious at times. I've found that my motor scares them off tho
What an eventful day!!!! Awesome job landing that one that took off behind the kayak I would of been in the water for sure !!!!! Stay safe !!! Happy fishing!!!!!
Those are the standard size school fish (10-12lbs) you'll find when drifting the Sherman Island slot... but, we've caught fish there that spooled our bait casters..
A good swimbait I like to use for striper is the livetarget shad they always crush it and is easy to take out of there mouths one of my go to striper baits
Striper are such a blast! Catching them out in the surf is soo fun! My biggest was last year, 39 inches 25.5 pounds (released) and she hit a top water. She probably swimming around in that delta system right about now or on her way back out to me haha.
Thx for sharing another great vid Greg. Striper season opened up on the 15th here in the North East Long Island. State closed down the whole area where I fish in the Spring for Covid19 drive-thru. so gotta look for new spots. Take care. Go Rehab crew.
That last one was epic. They taste so good, but really only if bled and iced right away. I usually will bring one or two home when on a boat. Bleed, gut and iced. Hmmmmm. Delicious. I call them the barracuda of fresh water. Looks like it was cold that day. When will we get honest sunshine!!!!!!! Take care.
I felt for you with the treble hooks. I never gave them a thought until I caught a huge crappie on a flicker shad. It flipped at just the wrong second and jammed the second hook deep into my thumb. The pissed off crappie still on the other hook. I sat there for a min thinking emergency room...but I had my daughter and nephew out kayaking with me. I figured what would I do if it was in a fish? I grabbed my pliers and just yanked it out. So glad I did because it didn't even hurt about a min later.
8:43, yeah stripers runs in school so once you catch one you find the pack or unless it's by its self. so that try to land your fish fast and get it out for another cast.
I know this an older video but have you ever used the 6th Sense Flow Glider to target large mouth? Looks like a good inexpensive glide bait. Thanks as always Greg
Had to do some research on the tagged fish. Seems there is a "Catch. Cut. Report" program where you get a reward/gift for catching a tagged fish. I would have assumed it was part of a tagging program done by Fish & Wildlife or some other conservation agency it would be extremely important NOT to remove it (fish tissues and muscles grow around tags over the years) so it can be tracked for years to come, but to just report the number to said agency. Today I learned :)
Good vid man! Can’t wait for some top water bone spook striper fishing in the delta. Still waiting for my bigfish 108 to be delivered and rig her up and get some. I can see why the waders come in handy now! 🤣
Flow Glider 130 - Shad Scales- wow that looks like a real shad. I bought some actual shad at Gotcha Gaitshop in Antioch a few years. Yeah, it looks more realistic than the bone S-Waver everbody uses
Lol..Great beautiful fish Greg. Don't you hate when you catch a pb, and just don't wanna let it go. You just wanna keep it with you, while your fishing in the kayak. I know I've felt like that, but gotta release them quickly. But good fishing bro..
Congrats on the tag and that new pb! You'll get some $$ off of that tag if I am correct. This is why you should do more striper fishing! Haha. Love it. Keep it up. Right now, stripers are coming in hottttt!!!
not to send the herd to some place from a video, but are you near grizzley or suisin bay or some area off Montezuma? im wondering how far inland theyre hanging out right now.
Man couple nice catches there. And congrats on the PB. I never use a net when Im fishing but I do use fish grips to get ahold of the fish if Im using a bait with trebble hooks. Really dont want those in my hand out in the middle of the lake. If Im using baits with a single hook I just grab the fishes lower lip. Well unless it ends up being a pike or something like that.
Will you make a video some day of you unloading and loading your kayak back up ? I’m interested if you are using a trailer and what you take off your kayak each time to drive home etc.
Great video, Greg! Thanks. "Ever have one of those moments when you just know a bait is going to get clobbered?". Um, no. Is that a thing?? I so need to work on some confidence.
You probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf lately =)
One of your first few times targeting stripers and you nailed it! I've been trying to find them every where in the delta and man oh man I am struggling. Any general areas anyone ? ;))
Hey man you probably won’t see this but I was wondering which part of the delta this is? I usually fish around discovery bay for little schoolies but it’s way too busy and the fish are usually small. It would be much appreciated👊🏻
Greg, I enjoy your channel more than most. Your editing is great, your videos are the perfect length, and you never post 'clickbait' on your channel. It's really really refreshing. Keep it up, don't change a thing and tight lines!
Can't beat a striper bite! I'm on the east coast and we are in the middle of the Spring run of stripers. Can't beat it. Great vid Greg!
watching this video makes me want to get a kayak and do this exact type of fishing so badly 😂
The look you always give when you think a sea lion is around is priceless!!! Give us your sea lion story,,, it’s gotta be good!!! Thxs for vid.
I figure sea lions to Californians is like big alligators to Texans.
Haha I have 3 videos I think on the channel where they come right at the boat. Nothing really crazy but they're too big and too curious at times. I've found that my motor scares them off tho
What an eventful day!!!! Awesome job landing that one that took off behind the kayak I would of been in the water for sure !!!!! Stay safe !!! Happy fishing!!!!!
Greg is my daily news update on the Delta...this is why i watch him and subscribe
Sweet, new upload from Greg “new PB” Blanchard
That’s what it’s like landing redfish down here. They pull hard and pull you around. A lot of fun for sure. Great video Greg. Yep.
I used to fish that spot from the bank growing up ! Great times!
You really went out for stripers😮
Kudos to you 💪
Looked like fun AF out there, battling big stripers! 😎🎣📹👍
I love catching stripers its been a couple years since I have had a chance to fish for them.
I love hearing the excitement in those laughs!! Makes you feel like a kid again lol. Awesome day of fishing man!
Bradley Houston Greg is the man! Best Kayak fisherman out there!
@@Kaiu I love how you saw my comment lol Ive been watching him for 2 years now and I cry every time I see his Yak....its perfect.
Bradley Houston hahaha oh yes! His kayak is nasty! And yeah jus started watching him maybe 4-5 months ago! Such a genuine dude and great fisherman
I love that Glide bait caught a 7 pound 3 oz large mouth on it this year my PB it really works and apparently for stripers to
Man that was so freaking awesome I'm never caught big striper like that
Those are the standard size school fish (10-12lbs) you'll find when drifting the Sherman Island slot... but, we've caught fish there that spooled our bait casters..
That was a good day of fishing, man! I totally wish you would have gotten measurements on that first one. It was a monster!
A good swimbait I like to use for striper is the livetarget shad they always crush it and is easy to take out of there mouths one of my go to striper baits

Greg you are a fishing beast
Looks like the striper fever is getting to you now
That last one was epic. They taste so good, but really only if bled and iced right away. I usually will bring one or two home when on a boat. Bleed, gut and iced. Hmmmmm. Delicious.

Ah, yeah Kevin, thats the fear for sure especially with a fish still connected. Happens so quick.
You and NDYakAngler posted videos on the same day. Always fun!!
You got to love it when a plan comes together.You nailed them. I think I might have to invest in some 6th Sense swim jigs. Enjoyed the video

Pumped that you're with 6th sense! I order from them often, and I'll be using your code from now on!

Great job I miss catching the big ones out there
Crazy stripe pattern on that thing. Nice!
Stinks getting caught in low tide. At least you were not in a full size boat.. Some nice striper action.
Really like your videos I just started following. Between you, chad hoover, and fluke master, that's I need.
Spot on! BS-free fishing channels man! They're getting rare.
Check out NDyakAngler as well. Amazing content.
Flow Glider 130 - Shad Scales- wow that looks like a real shad. I bought some actual shad at Gotcha Gaitshop in Antioch a few years. Yeah, it looks more realistic than the bone S-Waver everbody uses
Cool thing about the tagged fish it could be a reward tag worth $20-$100. According to DFG website
Winner winner striper dinner 🍻
Another killer video! I'd love to catch a good sized striper like that one day.
I bet those hit like a freight train and looks like a killer fight. WTG on the PB striper.
Tight Lines!
Post a video of you returning or the process of the fish tag . Nice catches !!!
I ran into a school of carp on Lake Whitney in TX. It is kinda creepy.
Lol..Great beautiful fish Greg. Don't you hate when you catch a pb, and just don't wanna let it go. You just wanna keep it with you, while your fishing in the kayak. I know I've felt like that, but gotta release them quickly. But good fishing bro..
Would love to see more stripes fishing video . Nice job on them biggen !!!
Nice stripers! I'm definitely picking up one of those glide baits.
You need to be tossing a Lunker Punker. That's a Delta Striper killer!! Great vid and editing
At the 10:00 mark that’s a hybrid...awesome Greg!!!!
No hybrids in the delta just a striper with weird stripes. There's also hybrids with straight line stripes but its rare
Can’t ask for a cooler outing. Great vid bud!
What boat launch do you go to
Great job with those stripers man. You just gave me a new bait to add onto my tackle box. Thanks. Keep it up man
Theyre verry abundant in the bay... we had a quadruple header and landed 10 keepers in about 1 hour span .
Damn the flow glider is so affordable! The striper are moving up in my home river. I'll have to throw one!
Damn that’s skills Greg! Nice catch!
Where abouts was this at? Looks similar to big break area by me. But honestly could be anywhere on the delta.
Omg you are the best fisherman I respect you and really look up to you and wish I could fish with you one fau
Another awesome video to get me through Quarantine
What kind of rod were you throwing that glide bait on? Looked like either an iRod or Dobyns fury. Nice job on the Stripers!
irod genesis II flip/pitch. Thanks Mike!
Love your enthusiasm, great pb's
LOVE your content man! I appreciate you getting me through quarantine!
Congrats on the tag and that new pb! You'll get some $$ off of that tag if I am correct. This is why you should do more striper fishing! Haha. Love it. Keep it up. Right now, stripers are coming in hottttt!!!
Yeeeeeeeeee yeee swimbait Sunday’s
Sounds like you are enjoying striper fishing more then bass fishing ahahah keep them videos coming man
I've never caught a xxxxxx fish either.... Great video..... Next time fish 30 to 45 min before and or after the tide.
not to send the herd to some place from a video, but are you near grizzley or suisin bay or some area off Montezuma? im wondering how far inland theyre hanging out right now.
Where did you launch out of?
Greg your one hell of an angler. Love the content.
Man couple nice catches there. And congrats on the PB. I never use a net when Im fishing but I do use fish grips to get ahold of the fish if Im using a bait with trebble hooks. Really dont want those in my hand out in the middle of the lake. If Im using baits with a single hook I just grab the fishes lower lip. Well unless it ends up being a pike or something like that.
That was sick! Congrats on the PB striper.
Nice fish, my personal best is 52lbs and 47” long
Gotta get those on your scale and measure them! They both looked well over 10 pounds man! congrats - looked like Franks tract?!
Awesome video, I love that secret spot!
Nice bro, even for a 3 catch video its not bad, videos are hard to make so appreciate the work
NICE! Good job! Enjoy your vids! I love fishing the delta!
PB Striper!!! LETS GOOO! Worth all the mud 😄
Will you make a video some day of you unloading and loading your kayak back up ? I’m interested if you are using a trailer and what you take off your kayak each time to drive home etc.
I just throw it in the bed of the truck (but the kayak is fully stripped)
Greg Blanchard how long does it take you to unload and load ?
Awesome PB Greg... and great video
love to see that irod being put to use!
Did u install your boonedox cart urself or have someone do it for u?
Dang Greg, your bundled up like it’s 30 degrees out there. Cali weather a little crazy right now.
Awesome content. Bro you deserve more sub. And your not a sell out fisherman like other youtuber fisherman that don’t do fishing.
That's really cool bru when this corona is over .. you must come fishing in south Africa
Great video, Greg! Thanks.
"Ever have one of those moments when you just know a bait is going to get clobbered?". Um, no. Is that a thing?? I so need to work on some confidence.
Thanks! I think it was just the fact that the one follower I had after a couple minutes. Just was feeling it lol
Buen día
Este lugar es hermoso, tiene muchos peces, su pesca es increíble, felicidades.👍🎣🐠😉
You probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf lately =)
@Cody Dylan Yup, been watching on Instaflixxer for since december myself :D
Great catch and congrats on the pb
I watch all your videos and are very helpful for lure choich. But you need to say what canal or area of the delta you are fishing
Man! You got us all in envy.
Finally some striper actions
So badass dude! Congrats on the PB!
Another great video, Those stripers were beast... Tight lines bro
New rods?
Greg you're a awesome fisherman I always enjoy your videos and tips. Just wondering part of the delta you went to?
Nice catch
Awesome video, Greg! Maybe try a s waver next time
Nice Job on the stripers👍
One of your first few times targeting stripers and you nailed it! I've been trying to find them every where in the delta and man oh man I am struggling. Any general areas anyone ? ;))
Tagged fish in North Carolina are worth $100 plus a hat. Nice catch
Easy limits for Greg 😂😂😂
You called it! #AWESOME that run though!
Bro! Way to get on them stripers!!!
Hey man you probably won’t see this but I was wondering which part of the delta this is? I usually fish around discovery bay for little schoolies but it’s way too busy and the fish are usually small. It would be much appreciated👊🏻
You don’t take the tag unless you keep the fish if I’m correct
