Full blown epic melt down lol. Even the way you were talking to yourself. Very relatable. I appreciate you not hiding it and posting this video. It hit home for me personally 😂😂
It cracks me up how committed he is to not swearing on his channel. I respect the hell out of it, but I laugh every time he says god dang it all pissed off. Just let it out Greg😂😂
That was a tough one to watch, but anyone who’s tournament fished knows exactly how you felt throughout Day 2 and at the end. That mild, uncomfortable feeling building to near panic and frustration, then despondency and resignation. It’s so hard to slow down and dead stick when the anxiety meter is pinned, too. You’ll build from this, though. You’re an amazing tournament fisherman and videographer and this was a setback. You’ll recapture that mojo.
“Mrs. Chow, somewhere down the line that’s one of Greg’s ancestors” made me cackle in the office hahaha Tough ending to a tournament GB! Not the first and won’t be the last. Push through, fish on. Congrats to Mike and the rest of Dark Horse! Tight lines y’all! 🎣
I know my last comment was about how your videos really speak to the “mateship” (to use an Australian term) of tournaments, but they also speak to the heartbreak at times. I think going in with confidence and not living up to your expectations of yourself is killer. Those ones really stick. Either way, good or bad, I love coming along for the ride. Thanks for posting.
You were fishing wayyy too fast for a slow bite kind of day. Take 5, smoke a cigarette, drink a cold soda, and take it down a notch. This was actually a GREAT video dude. Thanks for owning it and sharing it.
Thanks for keeping it real Greg. The highs and lows of fishing. It happens to all of us. Just a reminder for me about the mental aspect of anything competitive. No apologies necessary. Shake it off, on to the next.
If any tournament (Fishing, Pinball, anything) has taught me anything, it's that being able to mentally reset when bad shit happens, whether you're fishing bad or just stuff goes wrong is huge. Gotta be able to reset and not dwell. Like how players in sports say 'Don't get too high, don't get too low'. Always love the videos man, even if they are rough.
When I feel like that on the water I like to pull out the EMERGENCY JOINT. That usually takes the edge off and changes the rest of the day. You're there to have fun, all fun.
Hahaha blessing the water. You have no idea how many times I cast out and spark a cig up pick my rod back up and got one swimming with it.. or when I pack one and blow the smoke on the water always usually catch one after blessing it too
@@KhookemB haha! I’m taking this! It’s time to bless the water! For sure, taking that moment to take a breath makes a difference. Fish are chilling down there, need to slow down.
@@JonGilGonefishing bro I’m telling you it works.. been calling it that for years now. No bullshit it works so good dudes I fish with are like I hope you brought a bunch. Because we always catch something right after… at a few flws back in the day, I sware a couple of my boys who don’t do it , came by my hotel room in the morning before launch and told me to bless there boats 😂😂
Greg today was by far the toughest day on the lake kits emotions came out today it started early and just compounded what I saw mental fatigue a point of reaching a certain low and not able to bounce from it. You have an amazing audience that really enjoy every part of your fishing journey we love the epic days on the lake, but we understand the low ones on another. We stand with our heels at every corner and watch them shine on the battlefield and feel all the emotions when it doesn’t work out right the way you want it to. I’m a Greg Blanchard fan for life watching every bit of your journey no matter where it takes us. You have to understand you’re an outstanding influencer out there with an amazing character which stands you way above the rest. Keep fighting, keep striving and keep battling to be the best cause you have come along way to be where you are. Continuous and never ending improvement it doesn’t stop after one experience it keeps growing and growing just pick yourself up dust off the dirt and keep moving forward. On a side note Obedie is an amazing friend when situations bring you down he just changes it and brings the positive responses “ keep fishing” a great competitive and great friend and serine job to your crew Mr. Mike Ensign who got second place awesome job!!! Until the next video take care brother and God bless!
We understand your despondent mood - I keep a magnet in my boat locker for the times things go overboard. I'm not sure it would have helped retrieve your Go Pro, but it's worth a try. Sorry Day Two didn't work out as we hoped; however, you'll always look back at Day One as a fond memory. Stay in the fight! 😊 Another thing, please don't apologize for being human. Who hasn't experienced the ups and downs in fishing tournaments? This too shall pass 😉 Thanks for the share - keep your lines tight!
Great video, anyone who spends any time on the water knows the frustration of those days when we're in a funk. Love seeing the gang together, congrats to Mike.
That mental game on the water can really effect your fishing. I've been there where some days it just feels like every cast is inaccurate or your spinning reel keeps getting wind knots then to lose a fish on top of that will really get in your head. One of the hardest factors on the water is the mental side of it
Aaron Martins is my favorite all time fisherman. When you pulled over to mess with camera it was a bad sign. 2 of my favorite AM are Havasu black bird jig bite and tidal river Maryland spinner bait bite. Both from elite series. He’s loosing his mind getting short strikes until the tide drops. Thanks Greg and it was great to see the whole team together❤️
Love the format of your videos man. So fun to watch even when you’re struggling. I play fishing videos all day while I’m working and most of the time I am only half listening. For your videos I watch them during lunch so I can give them the attention they deserve haha. You the man, keep your head up!
This video and the last video are a perfect representation of the highs and lows of tournaments. Sucks that had to happen for you but you'll crush them in the next one!
Greg, bro, you need to set the hook. All these fish you lose on a Texas rig drop shot because the hook is still ok the plastic. That spinning rod and light line don't have enough power to drive the hook through by just reeling.
Hey Greg , keep your head high. It happens to all of us. No matter what happens you had 1 great day. I fished that lake back in 1988..and was full of big bass but the water level was low. Caught a few big ones and had fun. Thanks for all your videos.
Why the heck are people so negative in these comments? 1 semi - bad day and they're like "cry baby! Get over it, etc." People love to watch successful people fail. Makes them feel better. I get LOADS of negative comments on my videos. Even about stuff not related to the video itself. Keep grinding bro!
These dorks just need somewhere to type their lame words that's all. They actually think they make a difference but they don't. Greg will always keep grinding I'm sure he's used to this crap by now.
Not sure what power rod you were using for the weedless dropshot, but it looks like the same rod you use for nose hooked dropshot. I used to throw weedless dropshot on a ML and lost a decent percentage of fish. Powered up to a M rod and haven’t had near the issue. Might be something to look into. Love the content.
36:32 There is an old saying.... HERE TODAY, BUT GONE TOMORROW... This seems to be the case this tournament... It seemed like you were fishing at about 90 miles an hour.. Some times we just have to slow down... I know... Easy for me to say... Shake it off Buddy... I can't wait for the next video...
oh man, what a day. Sorry it didn't turn out the way you hoped, but good job powering through it. Was really nice to see the guys up on the board at the end and great job being happy for them! Get em next time Greg!
Those day are tough. It's the F*#kening effect. Too many things going right and then BAM! Not so right. The highs and the lows are what it is all about. Looked like a great time with your friends. Mike with the plaque. 👏 Well done.
Wow what a wierd tournament, well I know you'll come back Greg. And yes the mental part plays a big roll. If you go back and study the videos, you can see the change. I know you will learn from this and come back man. Thanks for taking us along bro and good luck to you next time.
All I can say is, I've been there. Not in a tournament, but definitely going into a day of fishing with high expectations and completely spinning out. Tomorrow is another day. Looking forward to the next video.
Heck yea buddy this tournament has been the most fun to watch since your 2019 KBF National Championship. Looking forward to seeing you crush it again next video 😎😎. Also, don't beat yourself up brother shit happens, and you can always have a worse day 😉😉.
Man what a tough day! You’re going to recover because you’re that good at what you do. As the old saying goes; you learn more from your mistakes than your successes.
That looked like the night before program got the best of ya. Can’t blame ya, good fishing and awesome friends! Could be wrong but ya need to Shake it Greg.
Dude, fishermen are superstitious for sure! You let an unlucky break in the morning spin you out. Having your mind get in the way of success is the greatest danger in any competition. Still a cool video to watch. I'm a fan and your general positivity and ability to let the missteps roll off are one your biggest assets. We will be tuning in to your next episode watching for the big turn around. Congrats on the 101 bag day one! That's about a 24 pound sack, big day!
Hey Greg. Have you tried strike pro mini buzz bait? Best mini buzz, in my opinion, black color. Great lure to add. I caught sooo many bass with it. Majority of the big bass I catch is with it. In the morning, heat of the day, evening it's definitely a good try man.
I was a little shocked to see you that upset over a camera. You can tell it affected you for the rest of the day. A camera should not affect the way you fish bro. But I do appreciate you putting that in the video it shows your raw emotions and allows us to connect with you more. You're a real dude that's just how it goes, you have a lot of passion for what you do and it shows. Thanks for the videos man keep them coming.
I think your mojo just went down hill, right from the beginning with loosing the GoPro. It threw you off your game. Glad you shared this experience. I enjoy fishing too much to stress about tournament fishing, so I just watch you do it 👍. Keep up the good work.
Long time follower. That was the most relatable tough day on the water can remember seeing in a while. Thanks for posting as always! Might want to dedicate a couple fun trips to trying out a new drop shot setup or 2, maybe a new hook or rod action? Shouldn’t be losing drop shot fish like you have been last couple tournaments.
Greg, you're a huge inspiration to us all. Shake it off, because you've always been, and are a mentor. You always bring us great fishing, and adventures out there. And that's very rare, that your day two has ever really been like that. 💯 🛶 🎣
Misery loves company. Seems like every time I go fishing I have one of those days. I feel bad about it but I was laughing out loud nearly the whole time when you were on the water. Lost GP, lost fish, rats nest in reel, dinks that you can’t score. The fishing day from hell. LOL
Regardless of how the tournament ended your day 1 was amazing as you stated it involved both skill and luck to do that. Day 2 well that's fishing don't be too hard on yourself & Coach sometimes worse days affect more than 1. I'm sure all that day he was beating himself up about what happened. As always I really enjoyed this one Greg.
Have you thought about switching to a different style drop shot hook or maybe a different rod type? They really seem to be popping off the hook this year...I know it's heartbreaking to lose a lead that big, but thats just how fishing is sometimes, unfortunately...We will all be here watching either way, so keep the videos coming!
Hey brother, love you love you show and commented for a while cause I watch on my Roku anyway Greg Blanchard you’re a good fisherman if you could just remember that and those hard times I think you do a lot better. I think you’re one of the best fisherman that’s out there. You don’t trust yourself, you get upset you speed fish and I don’t know if that’s true because I’m watching a video but I’m trying to help. Awesome videos great productions keep doing it! Thanks 🙏
Sorry Greg, you just never know what a day will bring. I still enjoy you videos make me realize all that stuff does not just happen to me, the line caught on everything😂
I'm at work wht you talking about lol . I know how you feel. Greg, you have a system and when something is out of wack, it effects the whole day. But still like your videos and you're a heck of a stick . Keep a tight line. Luck luck to 🎣 🎣 🎣
Really felt bad how the day started out with losing the camera. Then the Dow start got you spun out a bit. Tough to slow down but probably needed to do that. Loved the guys and place, not your day on the water. All the best Greg!
Sometimes you take out on the water your negativity and it can ruin your day. I have been on the water feeling that before because my wife and I would argue about me going out on the water too much when chores were being ignored. I also have had tournaments when the weather or other fisherman at the ramp at the harbor causes issues and it feels like a dark cloud following me out there! You will make it up on the next one!
I'm sorry brother. We all go through those unexpected, undeserved hassles sometimes. No need to apologize. Be proud of that 100 inch day. No one can take that from you.
Well....a boat bash to start out the day kinda set up the mood man. It was all in good fun because we know Dutch wouldn't want to do any damage on purpose....now Mike...he may be different lol😂
If I were to give you any advice. It would be ditch the braid on your spinning, go with fluro or my preference coploymere, and lock that damn drag down a bit. Braid with leaders gives you very little to no flex in line, making you run a lose drag which in turn results in a weak hook set. Use the stretch of the line to your advantage.
Give thanks to all them haters they no who they r we need people like them to help fuel r burning passion to make positive things happen u have a great team with u to see how u guys enjoy life that's all that matters!!!!!
The mental game, the least talked about aspect in competition fishing , all it takes is a rough start like yours's Greg to set in motion all those little gremlins that seem to show up one after the other. Rats nest in the spool, bait flying off, the loss of a money fish right off the bat. Especially after an epic day, the day before when everything but the weather went right . Superstitions and fishing have always been partners be it with a rod and reel or with a trawlers net . You just have to make the best of it and I still think your fishing too fast lol ! Still a great tournament and a great video.
On the back of the jig pack directions say make sure to tighten your drag and set the hook and when things get slow throw a Senko #5ewg and a small carpet screw shoved up its Ars😊
The storm on day 1 probably had the fishing biting from the falling barometric pressure but the flip side of that is the day after a storm when the bite can be difficult . Better luck next time and keep your head up . The camera was not that big of deal by the way .
Full blown epic melt down lol. Even the way you were talking to yourself. Very relatable. I appreciate you not hiding it and posting this video. It hit home for me personally 😂😂

Tell Coach “it’s always funny’ till someone get an eye poked out” 😆
Man I wish I had tournament friends like that! So jealous lol
That was so rough I had to watch the first day over again! With my coffee.
Great video Greg. Would love to see a video going over your current rod and reel combos!!
hell yeah greg, amazing job. most guys would have thrown a fit if they had a day like you did. these next tournaments will be just as big.

Losing that Go Pro even makes me mentally upset :D This was a doosy :/ Keep your head up Greg that day 1 was still something to be proud of!
Greg when it’s blue bird sky’s the next day, slow down, stay in the same area. They didn’t leave, Carolina would have got em most likely.
thats one of gregs ancestors had be dying lol
Lol Greg ancestors, Mike did you dirty 😂
Hahahha its all in good fun
Noticed it looks like you were fishing a bit faster than the day before. Not as relaxed. Really enjoy the content.
I thought exactly the same thing... Seems like Greg was fishing 80 miles an hour... Maybe even set the hook too soon..
Greg, you're a huge inspiration to us all. Shake it off, because you've always been, and are a mentor. You always bring us great fishing, and adventures out there. And that's very rare, that your day two has ever really been like that. 💯 🛶 🎣

What was Mike catching them on? Would be cool to see hit setup and gear, he always be rigging up 😎
Day one all my fish were hooked one a Rico popper. Day two Drop shot 6" Xzone worm.

Greg grandmother down the line got me freaking Mike being racist hahaha lol
I'm definitely not a racist I just called how I see it hahahhaha

Whoa. Just seemed like one of those days. Rough one man. Into the next one.
Oof hard to watch the frustration, reminds me of all the hard times on the water when things all seem to go wrong..
Felt like the whole fishing day was in 2x speed, so crazy the difference. Keep your head up
I'm at work wht you talking about lol . I know how you feel. Greg, you have a system and when something is out of wack, it effects the whole day. But still like your videos and you're a heck of a stick . Keep a tight line. Luck luck to 🎣 🎣 🎣

What video editing software you use??
Full blown anxiety attack…. Fishing crazy fast… I’ve been there. I think we all have 😢
It happens, luckily that’s the beauty of our sport, the bad days happen so when the good ones come along they are freakin amazing

I also have had tournaments when the weather or other fisherman at the ramp at the harbor causes issues and it feels like a dark cloud following me out there! You will make it up on the next one!
Catching your video before my weekend Kayak tournament starts. (Lunker legends) just small series of weekend tournaments
I'm sorry brother. We all go through those unexpected, undeserved hassles sometimes. No need to apologize. Be proud of that 100 inch day. No one can take that from you.
Well....a boat bash to start out the day kinda set up the mood man. It was all in good fun because we know Dutch wouldn't want to do any damage on purpose....now Mike...he may be different lol😂
You know it lol
That's fishing... But overall, a good day. The crew was in the mix, and you all get to share in that success.
😂🤣coach shooting the middle finger @2:30
Let’s go Mike! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I havent watched yet but the thumbnail/title has me literally stressed out! I will watch on my lunch break but I'm a nervous wreck 😂
If I were to give you any advice. It would be ditch the braid on your spinning, go with fluro or my preference coploymere, and lock that damn drag down a bit. Braid with leaders gives you very little to no flex in line, making you run a lose drag which in turn results in a weak hook set. Use the stretch of the line to your advantage.
Give thanks to all them haters they no who they r we need people like them to help fuel r burning passion to make positive things happen u have a great team with u to see how u guys enjoy life that's all that matters!!!!!
Mikes coffee cup is pretty sweet I must say.
Dang, tough day. We have all had those day man. Keep at it tho.
When you pulled to the bank I thought you had to poop.
The mental game, the least talked about aspect in competition fishing , all it takes is a rough start like yours's Greg to set in motion all those little gremlins that seem to show up one after the other. Rats nest in the spool, bait flying off, the loss of a money fish right off the bat. Especially after an epic day, the day before when everything but the weather went right . Superstitions and fishing have always been partners be it with a rod and reel or with a trawlers net . You just have to make the best of it and I still think your fishing too fast lol ! Still a great tournament and a great video.
It's fishing we all have those days just got to keep grinding 💪
Tough bites happen. You'll get em next tourney bud. Cheers
On the back of the jig pack directions say make sure to tighten your drag and set the hook and when things get slow throw a Senko #5ewg and a small carpet screw shoved up its Ars😊
Hey man you are human like the rest of us! Good to see.
The storm on day 1 probably had the fishing biting from the falling barometric pressure but the flip side of that is the day after a storm when the bite can be difficult . Better luck next time and keep your head up . The camera was not that big of deal by the way .
Awesome, love your content. Tyght lines, brother!
So glad you forgave the coach! He looked really beat up at the end! But you’re still the greatest
Mikes definitely a contractor 😂 I’m an electrician and every where I go I point out shit 😂
