Putting it on the map. I am so proud and happy to see People of all backgrounds succeed. You are a true inspiration. The population of Asian American Anglers smashing the rankings is inspiring. Thank you for paving a way for other Americans of different backgrounds to enjoy competitive bass fishing. I think the past has proven to under represent minorities. Can’t deny success.

Seeing you get snagged in the tree honestly made me feel so much better about myself as a fisherman. Happens to me more often than I care to admit, felt embarrassed about it. I appreciate you keeping it real and showing how fishing actually is. It’s easy to forget that sometimes… “Thank you, sir.”

Probably won’t see this comment but when the bite gets tough and you just can’t seem to get bit (even on a senko or drop shot)... do the complete opposite. Go big! Glide, Toxic, soft bait. You may be surprised at you results. Or dont, idk. Love the videos, keep it up.

I have to say after watching quite a few of your videos and being a subscriber. I've had to get a kayak. Now maybe I can get you to go back to the spinner bait. Very good spring bait. In those super clear waters I see you fish. I keep wanting to tell you to try a little in line spinner. Spots love that spinner. Love the videos. Don't get run over

Great job Greg and congrats on some really nice ones! I just cracked up though when you were on the phone with Mike and told him about that 3 1/2 you caught (which was 3.15 actually, a 3.8 would = 3 1/2!) . But it didn't matter because that fish you caught with him on the phone was a 5 pounder, nice catch and glad it wasn't a striper!

I’m still trying to catch more than two bass a day. Idk what it is, if I’m spending too much time on one bait, or if I’m staying in one spot too long, 90% of the time I feel like I’m using the wrong baits. I fish alone on my kayak an I get into my own head too much at times I definitely know that. I still have so much to learn. Your videos definitely help

@GregBlanchardFishing
@GregBlanchardFishing 2 года назад
Brutal man. For me it's always downsizing baits and going slower even to the point where you aren't even moving your bait (ned rigs, jigs, etc). Weather can be a huge factor too. Not saying to go out in nasty weather but those bright sunny sky days with zero wind tend to be tough fishing at least for me

Hi Greg! Me, my Dad and my son, just launched at Sugar Barge yesterday and came up empty handed. We tried drop shotting, cranking, and chatterbaits, nothing seemed to work. Today was too windy to get back out on the boat, but we are going back out tomorrow. I know that a fisherman's spots are sacred, but wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing exactly where in the delta this exact spot is at, I'd like to head back out with my Dad and son tomorrow, and possibly hook up with some bass before my son and I head back home to AZ. Would appreciate any help you could provide. Keep rockin' Greg 🤙
