The one thing I love about your videos is the honest fishing. The continual casts, the frustration (the elation) that comes on any given day. Perfect conditions or not. I love bass fishing even on the bad days. Your videos keep me getting on the water. Lately its been rough for me too, lol
Same! Been the past 4 days with my buddies. They've all gotten fish and I've gone home skunked! Throwing the same thing the same way. Guess they just smell me! Best of luck to ya!
@@TakingFlightSports Im not jumping over cars or nothing dangerous anymore. Im more mix you then dunk on anybody who tries to contest. In inna cold fashion
Hey Greg, I ran into you after the awards and didn’t get a chance to say thank you. Your videos have been a big help to me learning how to kayak fish. Not a lot of opportunities in Tahoe for bass, but I’m starting to capitalize on the few there are. I big part of that success is from your videos. Keep em coming and maybe someday I’ll get out there for a tourney against you. 🤙
So pumped I found your channel! I'm a big yak fisherman in MN and I've just started doing some bass tournaments up here so I've been binging your tournament videos getting inspired to step up my game! Great videos man!
One fish would've changed everything. Thanks for the vid. Maybe try a trailer hook on the buzz (not sure if that was allowed), but it works well for me.
I am waiting to see #1 Greg Blanchard scoreboard. Like how you switched from dark to light color frogs. Helps us as viewers. Then showing your gear at the end, much appreciated. 🍻
Seems like you have trouble setting your hooks. Keep at it. You'll get it eventually. Good to see how enthusiastic you are to learning about fishing. I've been fishing for about 4 years so I kinda got a jump start on you skill wise. Keep it up!
You think setting the hook by pulling up would help keep the fish on? Rather than setting sideways?? It’s almost like the frog is being bit but the hooks ain’t going in right
Frog only tournament? Now that sounds like fun! Sure seems like many of those plant infested areas would of had loads of Bass strikes. Recon at times looks can be deceiving. Man that was a SWEET Bass you pulled up around 11:30. Bet you were stressing till that point heh. So 8th place? Not so bad... how many entries were there?
I don't believe I've seen Greg, "bump the stump" with a buzz bait. Whether is bumping a dock pole, a rock, wood stickups or all manor of aquatic vegetation, it works. On the delta, in particular ..bumping the last tullie on either end of sparse tullie islands, can trigger vicious strikes from the giants..
Great job Greg! Glad you hooked the biggin. I kinda liked the tournament, something different, to test the skills. Kayak looking like she moves. Be safe my friend! 🎣🙏🤟
Did you change out the d ag in your Curados? I use them on my frog rod and flipping rod but am finding the 11lbs of drag too little. Thinking about swapping out for a carbon upgrade to get to 45lbs.
Your tail on your frogs just need a little trimming kinda like the white one was short they focus on the legs sometimes and never fully eat it but making the bait shorter makes a huge difference. Could you tell?
What day was this? I was on the Delta Sunday, and could not get a frog bite, on some good looking stuff. But, I got some decent fish on a chatter, and punch. Nothing over three pounds though.
Thanks for breaking down the difference in regular tournaments and c.p.r. style weight. Totally makes sense tho. Do they do kayak tournaments by weight ever?
A buzz with toad trailer is the best way..lol or with a craw. I have way to many subs i get like 100 vids a day and your slipped through. Glad i found it. Thanks Greg
Always done my best on white. Also your drag will ALWAYS get loose over time. Good video! Also not capitalizing on opportunities is my second profession!
You're the only guy I've seen switch pretty regularly from righty to lefty reels. Any particular reason why? Noticed you were going lefty in the Windy Wednesday videos.
Great video. First timer on your channel. Another Sub. Now I'll have to check out your other stuff. (btw: I have a tube of the attractant you were using and have never used it, I will now!)
Uhg!!! I hate to say it bro, but it feels like you had the chance to win it and just didn't to connect with enough of them. Better luck next time, you will get them!
I never get a frog bite. And was using Googan a new small frog and got 3 blow ups 3 casts in a row but never had it. My buddy comes in w a bigger frog and they choke that. Is there a reason or is it that I’m just ass at fishing 😂
Wow 🐸 only.. At least you know what to throw. Lol. Wouldn't think a buzz bait would b aloud even with a frog/toad plastic on it. Makes it a lot better of a chance in my opinion. Good luck. 🎣🇺🇸🎣
Hey Rich, I don't. Usually put 15-20 yds of fluoro on the spool first so it grips. I think these reels are just starting to feel the affects of no maintenance over a few years 😂

It’s super cool to see people fishing in my area, idk if it’s me but I don’t see a lot of videos about the California delta.
I don't either and it is cool to see give me confidence to fish the area myself
Crazy your like 10min from my house. I fish paradise and kings since I was 10. Was out there yesterday. Crazy.
You guys should hit the water together sometime. Be cool video
jawon!! still have bounce?
209!! Great to see 👍🏻 Salmon season is here! Its supposed to be another great year
@@TakingFlightSports of course

Thanks for coming out Greg and battle it out in the heat. It was hot just watching!
😂 for a second I thought you meant he was gay I was like wut 😳😳😳
@@bigdawstv1380 FACEPALM LOL
When I fish a 🐸 I do a two second count after the strike before I do a full send hook set.
Same, but sometimes you're just reacting based on instincts, I catch myself doing that after not getting any hits for awhile.
@@monkeyguy101 agreed… you have actively think about delaying the hook set. That’s tough to do some times! 🎣
I was a half inch behind you Greg! Good job this was my first yak tourney ever and it was a blast
I am well jealous.
If we had this type of fishing in the UK I'd be out kayak fishing all year.
Fun to challenge yourself with a unique tournament. Pretty challenging when you limit your lure selection to one imitation
What a crazy tourny. I love a frog bite! Good job Gregg! That's a tough day for sure!
What a treat. Had a great frog bite this morning now watching Greg on the lake
Those bass were like “ damn whats with all these frogs today “🐸 lol
😂
One fish would've changed everything. Thanks for the vid. Maybe try a trailer hook on the buzz (not sure if that was allowed), but it works well for me.
Idk why? But lately I watch these videos in the morning while I'm working out. Thanks Gregg my pecs appreciate your relaxing vids.
I am waiting to see #1 Greg Blanchard scoreboard. Like how you switched from dark to light color frogs. Helps us as viewers.
Then showing your gear at the end, much appreciated. 🍻
I love these 20 minute vids. Perfect for the bike or treadmill
Love your camera filming, with the little highlight of each cast. New idea like it
I say the same thing whenever it looks like a nice place that would hold bass. They're such fickle creatures! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the share 🎣🎣🎣
They like protection and cover its the bullies that you'll find in open water
Heading to the delta right now!!! Tight lines Greg! I know what I’m throwing now
Awesome video! Frog bites are always on the unexpected, when you expect them.... they are no where around lol
Great job 🎣🤙
Seems like you have trouble setting your hooks. Keep at it. You'll get it eventually. Good to see how enthusiastic you are to learning about fishing. I've been fishing for about 4 years so I kinda got a jump start on you skill wise. Keep it up!
He is just trying to hooke seet his fish way too hard and then yanking it out of the fishes mouth
Frogs only! Let’s start with a buzzbait! 😂😂. I’m kidding. Love these videos my dude.
Hell Yea Greg, Younder YeeeTaDeee
Super happy for you my guy.
Really enjoying your videos. Straight forward, honest account of each event. Nice job on the editing as well. Keep up the good work!🤟🎣
That first little keeper was a beautiful fish!!
What line should I be using on my bait casters
You think setting the hook by pulling up would help keep the fish on? Rather than setting sideways?? It’s almost like the frog is being bit but the hooks ain’t going in right
Been waiting on this one. Thanks for posting
Ahhh so Marvin's behind the scenes now. I see you Mr. Mobbin
Good video like always Greg. Maybe bend the hooks out on the hollow body frog and hook up’s will improve. I do that to all my hollows and it works..👌🏻
Frog only tournament? Now that sounds like fun!
Sure seems like many of those plant infested areas would of had loads of Bass strikes. Recon at times looks can be deceiving. Man that was a SWEET Bass you pulled up around 11:30. Bet you were stressing till that point heh. So 8th place? Not so bad... how many entries were there?
It fires me up every time you rip it back 👍🏼
I fished that same day too, but I launched from another location and used a senko most of the day 😆
I’ve gotten every too water bite, except for frogs. I just need to be more patient. Awesome video, keep them coming. Your the best Greg!
I don't believe I've seen Greg, "bump the stump" with a buzz bait. Whether is bumping a dock pole, a rock, wood stickups or all manor of aquatic vegetation, it works.

Great job Greg! Glad you hooked the biggin. I kinda liked the tournament, something different, to test the skills. Kayak looking like she moves. Be safe my friend! 🎣🙏🤟
Best frogging tip- Let them eat it!... I wait till I feel them pulling it under before I set the hook. Some days they just flat out dont eat it.
Did you change out the d ag in your Curados? I use them on my frog rod and flipping rod but am finding the 11lbs of drag too little. Thinking about swapping out for a carbon upgrade to get to 45lbs.
I just found this channel today and i love it great attitude doesn’t get frustrated really keep up the good work man🙌🏽
Great videos like always Greg Blanchard!..🎉…Question…I was wondering where you got your cart that you load your kayak on? Thanks in advance!..🙏🏼
Your tail on your frogs just need a little trimming kinda like the white one was short they focus on the legs sometimes and never fully eat it but making the bait shorter makes a huge difference. Could you tell?
At 13:40, your first good fish, what was that on its face??
I have never seen that 🧐
Hey Greg... Top 10 finish! An Big fish..!
Awesome job🤙
I love the Poppin pad crasher frog
Such a sick kayak fishing channel !
We caught at least 60 bass last weekend. At the Delta king Island area
@Greg Blanchard what are your preferred knots you use for these lures?
Enjoyed that style! Pretty tough wanting to punch/jig all day!
Greg the 🐐 Blanchard
You ever think that you are maybe too close to the Tully and hyacinths? Seems like the further you cast the more bites you had.
Just a thought, did that tourney allow for trailer hooks ?
Could mean the difference in a payday.
What day was this? I was on the Delta Sunday, and could not get a frog bite, on some good looking stuff. But, I got some decent fish on a chatter, and punch. Nothing over three pounds though.
Great video man , what are you putting on the bottom of your frogs ?
You got me hooked on that leopard frog
Let’s get it Greg the kayak G.O.A.T!!!!
Boy, I hate those kind of days, but that’s fishin!
Thanks for breaking down the difference in regular tournaments and c.p.r. style weight. Totally makes sense tho. Do they do kayak tournaments by weight ever?
It would require live wells because they would do weighing onshore with official scale.
I have a single Hula Popper in the box. Could I join? HAHA! 😂 Great vid as always Greg
A buzz with toad trailer is the best way..lol or with a craw. I have way to many subs i get like 100 vids a day and your slipped through. Glad i found it. Thanks Greg
My mans said “this is like the TSA” 😂 💀
4am post gotta love it
I would flatout get skunked in a tournament like this as I have zero frogging skills 🙈
I’ve never caught a fish with a frog…but yesterday I caught a bull frog on a popping frog! 🤣🤦♂️🐸
@@mikeo6525 i said tht bro then i caught my pb on. a frog last weekend gonna try to break it to tonight 💪🏽
You should try a weighted Jr. Pad Crasher vs Pad Crasher... After using both... I get more hits and hookups on a Jr Pad Crasher.
Always love tunin in maybe ill see you out there this year your gonna crush me on the tourney
Nice! More frogging tourneys! More anything tourneys!! Hahaha
Cool vid. Suprised they didnt pick a frog location that had pad mats or grass mats for the tournament though.
Y is it so funny when u miss a frog bite lol
Always done my best on white. Also your drag will ALWAYS get loose over time. Good video! Also not capitalizing on opportunities is my second profession!
Thing about Greg is he’s gonna keep it real and include the frustrating parts of fishing 😂
I hit like before the video began knowing he back in the yak 💪🏿🎣
And by the way great job 👏 Thanks for sharing some knowledge 👍 keep up the good job
Good job on the Big Younder. Yes sir 💪💯
How'd you manage lunker if the winner also had a 19? They go by that weird time-of-catch tie-breaker?
Yep, and I guess I submitted mine 8 minutes before lol
@@GregBlanchardFishing Hate that tie-breaker method, but I probably wouldn't if I had been you in this situation. Haha.
Wait a couple seconds after they explode. Also I rarely use fish on frogs after cutting the legs and angle your hooks kind of up and out
Good Job on Big Bass 👍🎣
I used to side hookset with a frog but switched up the habit to hookset more vertically been working more. :D
But nice video like always.
Love the frog action bro. I’m an avid frogger! Rodman reservoir!
What is the term punching ?
Greg, been there. Good content!!!
I fish frogs often… A first for me yesterday, I caught a bull frog on a popping frog dangling it from a tree limb!! 😂
It exploded on it!
You're the only guy I've seen switch pretty regularly from righty to lefty reels. Any particular reason why? Noticed you were going lefty in the Windy Wednesday videos.
Fishing and casting both hands is a good skill on a kayak
What did you rub on the bait?
Gotta bend the hooks out about 1/8 inch on those pad crashers away from the frog. Hookup percentage will increase dramatically
Mannn oh man. That 🐸 can be my worse enemy at times
I feel you! When everything looks froggy but the shakeyhead is all they’ll bite
Hey Greg, what kind of fish measuring board do you have?
Great video. First timer on your channel. Another Sub. Now I'll have to check out your other stuff. (btw: I have a tube of the attractant you were using and have never used it, I will now!)
Uhg!!! I hate to say it bro, but it feels like you had the chance to win it and just didn't to connect with enough of them. Better luck next time, you will get them!
Dang that fish had a big ass sore on the side of his face! I caught one like that recently in the Delta too. Good ole Dirty D!
Hey Greg what are you putting on your frog before using?
I never get a frog bite. And was using Googan a new small frog and got 3 blow ups 3 casts in a row but never had it. My buddy comes in w a bigger frog and they choke that. Is there a reason or is it that I’m just ass at fishing 😂
Nice! That younder was hungry!
You should post upcoming fishing events for kayak tournaments. I would’ve fish this event.
How do you not get sun burned out there man 😂 Awesome work dude 🤘
Wow 🐸 only.. At least you know what to throw. Lol. Wouldn't think a buzz bait would b aloud even with a frog/toad plastic on it. Makes it a lot better of a chance in my opinion. Good luck. 🎣🇺🇸🎣
Great content. What’s your go to frog knot?
Palomar hands down!
Yea buddy!
Notification just popped up so I had to click on it! Love the content!
Awesome job brother as always great job..
thank you Greg!
Greg, do you tape your braid to your reel? I've had braid slip so bad that my drag stopped working. FYI in case you don't.
Hey Rich, I don't. Usually put 15-20 yds of fluoro on the spool first so it grips. I think these reels are just starting to feel the affects of no maintenance over a few years 😂
