13:32 Hey I see me! But more seriously, it was great meeting you at Otisco, and again yesterday... Enjoy the rest of your vacation. Come back and see us for Onondaga in August if you can... no point in letting that new Native collect dust all summer.
For fishing blind you made really good decisions and put in the hard work!! One more thing your breaking in a new boat, I say your streak is safe!! Great vid!,
I love to explore/ blind fish new lakes from the bank! It can produce some of the best adventure and fish. I'll definitely throw out my portable sonar to check depth and temp. Then I'll throw some search baits like a crank or spinner. No bites and I slow down to a trick worm wacky style... Great vid Greg!
Still had a nice showing. Those were some big numbers for 3 fish. I've never fished Otisco before but a lot of guys I know that live in that area and fish it a lot say the North end is where it's at
Yeah I've got to try it one of these days myself. Otisco is only about an hour south of me. I've just never made the trek there. But I work in Syracuse so I'm real close from work. Guess there is a county park or something on the NE end you can launch from
Awesome video man, you know it’s funny when your throwing a shallow crank and catch a Smallie and say “that shallow” I catch them on Lake Huron back in creeks that are 3 ft deep but I also catch them in 20-30 ft ha ha
Dang! Can’t believe you didn’t place higher with that beast bag of fish! Good work on your editing, I can really see strong improvement in your storytelling with every upload. Thank you for working hard for the benefit of the kayak fishing community!
Good tourney vid as always. I took my buddy that I work with this morning and there was a crazy amount of people on the water. I fished the same water as last year at this time but had to use completely different things. I caught most on a white booyah frog throwing under low trees in shade pockets. 👊👍
Guys were crushin' em! Crazy to say but the 2 tournaments I've now fished this month in NY the overall top 10 has been way harder to crack here in NY than out in California! CA will always take big fish but overall consistency for solid limits seems to be in NY's corner!
Great video as usual! You shoukd come fish the Pool 9 and 10 KBF event in July on the upper Mississippi river. Gonna be a frog fishing extravaganza, and with it coinciding with our IKA club tournament could be couple hundred boats! You can enter both 😉
All the more rewarding when you beat all the hobie guys in their 5000 dollar rigs. I fish tournaments out of a feel free lure 10, currently 14th of 70 in angler of the year points for my state's club, my buddy fishes out of a vibe yellowfin. My advice go for it, you'll meet some awesome new friends, and regardless of finish it's a great learning experience.

I absolutely love my Dobyn's fury 705cb, bought it off of Mike Esign earlier in the year. I've been jerkbait fishing all spring and it's a sweet jerkbait rod as well. Also caught my first KVD 1.5 fish yesterday in the delta. Have fun up there. So green and pretty, fishing looks good too
Greg I notice that your kayak doesn’t rock side to side much on your big hook sets. It must be very stable I’m looking at upgrading to that same kayak. I think it would be the perfect one for our small to medium rivers around here. Great job also !
Hey, I’ll tell you I like that rod too....I found another one for the money it’s crazy good feeling.... The Favorite,White-Bird 7’ or 7’4 med-Heavy... 70 bucks too with a sleeve..The M-Heavy is a good bit softer than a regular M-Heavy... Very nice for the money.. Worth a try for sure...
Hello Greg I hope you have a great weekend just wondering why you don't upgrade your fish finder to make it easier, For self being bank fisherman I've two I have the deeper and the lucky. As a bank fishfinger it can be hard to fine the fish! If you're on a budget got for the lucky guys $160. The deeper Australia $450!!! and the lucky comes with a little tv thing some time the deeper will not connect and the Lucky will, And shows were the fish are and if there bottom or suspended and what's the bottom like!
I enjoy listening to your thought process on lakes and pattern breakdown. You either have a natural fishing talent or you have studied since you were 3...lol! I'm going with natural talent. Ohh BTW...your seeing double from Sierra Nevada withdrawal!
Hey Greg really love your videos. You've gone over you boat and tackle. Even your rain gear but never what you wear on a normal day. When i say a normal day i mean you boots and waders if you're wearing waders. Seen you step in the water several times when launching and would really like to know what you're foot wear as as well as waders you are wearing. Please post or respond. Keep up the great work Thanks man.
Thanks for watching Dewey! I believe I linked all clothing in this video in the description box under "Fishing clothing" but either way typically I've been wearing NRS Champion bibs paired with their boundary boots. Lets me walk into the water about 1 foot or so without waterlogging the boots.
Thanks Chris! Yes I did and I still do! Lake george trail event this past weekend and I covered about 6 miles pedaling on tournament day. Not what I'm used to!
Haha, good call out. I love JW videos, I think some of the best pro videos out there. But, the truth is "4 yonder" comes straight from my buddy Obedie Williams back in California. He's best friends with MDJ and obviously MDJ and JW are close. I only copy Obedie so "ding" won't be apart of the fishing phrases.
I like how you put the exact time in the corner. It’s very unique and I’m not sure why I like it but I do, so keep it up.
You like it cuz it means he’s about to set the hook! Duh.
Nice to see some of your home waters. Looked like a fun day.
Thanks for taking us along in your tournament. Fun to witness on the water decisions.

Great meeting/chatting with you! Already starting to plan/prep my next NY trip. Very good point, gotta keep that boat well tuned!
Nice job man, that was a good crank bite you had going
Thanks dude! now you just gotta teach me how to deep crank those giants you're always catchin'!
For fishing blind you made really good decisions and put in the hard work!! One more thing your breaking in a new boat, I say your streak is safe!! Great vid!,

Some good fish! Good video!
Sweet video back in NY
Thanks Greg. Interesting how in the beginning no fish then of course you nail it.
Still had a nice showing. Those were some big numbers for 3 fish. I've never fished Otisco before but a lot of guys I know that live in that area and fish it a lot say the North end is where it's at
THanks man, nice. I might have to head back and give the north end a shot
Yeah I've got to try it one of these days myself. Otisco is only about an hour south of me. I've just never made the trek there. But I work in Syracuse so I'm real close from work. Guess there is a county park or something on the NE end you can launch from

Thats a good finish for not ever fishing that lake, and no pre-fishing, Congrats
Dude, digging the tournament videos. And really jealous of the kayak. I have a pontoon raft, but really want a kayak

Yes you still had a good event for sure. You were dead on that it would take 60" to win. Thanks for sharing!

frog fishinggg. I like the sounds of that!
Lol my wife just ask " is that the guy from the walking dead? " shes talking about glen 😂😂😂
Kooter Lmaoo! I can see the resemblance
I'm still traumatized by Glenns fate lol
Great job! I use velco strap to hold ID card on hawg trough. It holds better.
Good run at it, I was shocked not a top 10 with total length. You’ll get’em in the next one.
great video and tournament. id love to enter some but feel out of place with a field and stream eagle talon...

Thanks Dustin! Been really great fishing so far but I'm ready to get that frog rod back in my hand!
Greg Blanchard yes that frog by is starting to pop out here.
GOOD JOB MAN 👍
That’s a great finish on lake you haven’t fished well done

Good video. Wish I had that kinda luck in NY! It’s been a slow start to the year... great job Greg!
Thats Jacob! Keep grindin'!

Love your videos. Can you do a video on the modifications you made to the slayer 10? I fish this boat as well. Thanks!

Man I love your videos bro! You are definitely a huge inspiration for me to do this RUclips thing! Keep it up man!!
Thanks Keith! Good luck with the channel!

Thank you! I fish A LOT so you'd think I'd be getting somewhat decent at it! haha. Yes, need Sierra back in my life!
Talk about some footballs! Nice job Greg
You need to get the Boon Dox drops out if the water to reduce drag and get a little more speed.
Great muskie lake
saw a bank fisherman pull out a big muskie during the tournament!
That first largemouth was full of eggs. PreSpawn is right! 16th ain’t bad. I predict Top Ten in the next one!
I'll take it! Very good prediction ;)
My section of Ny does not allow Catch and Release of Bass until the season starts 3rd Saturday of June.
We had a few guys from Long Island come up to fish Otisco because of that...
Hey Greg really love your videos. You've gone over you boat and tackle. Even your rain gear but never what you wear on a normal day.

Crankbait bite was on good job can’t win them all 👍
I thought you had that one in the bag. Apparently there is some giant fish in NYC.
Good job, sometimes it just seems like everyone else finds the big ones.
Don't mind me just having a Greg Blanchard Tourney Marathon .
Can’t come in high on the charts every time. Did you leave your titan in California?
Yep, titan is back in CA!
Bro, magnum menaces are now out on pegs!!! @ academy
yessss
Nice job! Did you buy the Slayer to keep in NY?
Thanks! sure did
Man i aspire to be that dialed to be able to go to a random lake and catch fish like that
16th place fishing blind, id say the streak continues
12 mins... LOL. That torqeedo spoiled ya!
yes it did!
That's still a respectable showing my friend. Did you miss not having the Torqeedo? Good video Greg, as always, your editing is on point.
Thanks Chris! Yes I did and I still do! Lake george trail event this past weekend and I covered about 6 miles pedaling on tournament day. Not what I'm used to!
My face when I missed meeting Greg for 2 tournaments because I’m getting ready to go down to TN for the pan American kayak Bass Tourney. :(
Next time!!! Good luck down in TN!
how do you fish a jerkbait so well on a kayak!?!?
Greg,
I would love to know what that fattie weighed. It looked as big around as it was long, a football. I love catching fish like that.
Wish I had a scale but I would say an easy 4 pounds. The fish in NY have been some of the fattest fish I've seen in my life this month!
When is the Lake George tourney? I'm 20 mins from LG, we could grab a beer.
Ah, LG tourney was actually about a week ago. Fantastics fishery btw which I didn't expect. Some big fish caught in that tournament!
Pretty good considering you didn't know the lake. Congrats.
Constructive criticism.. Don't be lazy!
Just joking..
Keep it up buddy.
That second fish is probably the biggest butterball I’ve ever seen 18 inches An like 4 pounds lol
Your head is on a swivel in that intro...nobodys sneaking up on you today
lmao, too much coffee
cant believe your fish with those huge crappy stock trebles !!
Did you say "four younder" on that second fish? Are you watching Jacob Wheeler videos, Greg?
If so, please don't start saying "ding".
Haha, good call out. I love JW videos, I think some of the best pro videos out there. But, the truth is "4 yonder" comes straight from my buddy Obedie Williams back in California.

@@GregBlanchardFishing The explanation was so in depth!
Am I the only one that can't hear the audio...maybe it's my phone...I don't think so...
It was my phone...great video brother...
