I love the fact that Greg tells his competitors how he is catching them before the tournament begins. He's a class act 👍
I just watched a video where he Snag hooked a 20.5 by accident and didn’t turn it in. Good people right there
Genuinely a Good Man and A Great Angler!!
Greg, you’ve easily become my favorite fisherman to watch on RUclips. Your humble attitude and easy-to-watch videos are my absolute favorite. I hope you keep fishing until you’re old and grey, because that’s my plan too! Thanks for the content.
- Hunter
Thanks Hunter! i hope so too, cheers
Likewise.
That was a crazy tournament. At one point in the AM, you had lost more fish than you had landed. One trick I learned a while ago....if the bass comes up and just "bumps" the frog (like knocks it out of the water) but doesn't eat it, it's like they are trying to stun it first (so that it can't get away). On those bites, I follow up immediately with a texas rig worm. Those bass will "stun" their prey and then come right back to see if that prey is just floating down through the hole they just made in the mat. And, because they are in "hunt and eat" mode (they just stunned some prey), they will hit something that falls down through the mat in the same spot. I've caught like 60% of those bass that miss the frog the first time, doing that trick. Just a thought. Great vid, as always. Thanks for posting!
Same!! I always have a follow up bait ready when they miss the frog and more than half the time they eat it!
I remember Greg use to do this in the Delta. Frog followed by wacky rig Senko.
Also, follow up bites are the coolest .
I saw him swap to a senko but he didn't have it on deck. He needs to have his follow up baits on deck ready to drop the frog rod immediately and cast out where the bass missed the bait. Follow up baits have to be quick, swapping between rod holders is too slow.
Agreed. I'll also swap from a frog to a popper if it isn't too saturated with grass.
Omg I'm in heaven almost 40 mins of pure enjoyment
I love his tournament vids!
@@ghamm32 every vid
This is the reason I like watching ur videos! The raw emotions of anglers go through throughout the day. It seemed to be a slower day but u still managed to fish hard to the end and got a high finish ✊🏿✊🏿🎣🎣
Well your tourney vids never disappoint. Always some excitement. By the way I opened my hooks up on my booyah pad crashers a little bit and I hardly ever miss a fish now. I know in the replays some were missing it but the ones that did get it might of stayed pinned better. 👊👍
Love the videos!! Thanks for taking us along!
Some great catches Greg!! Awesome weekend. I know your exhausted for that month but we loved it, thank you sir for the videos.
Like always, awesome video! It’s good to see you share your tricks with fellow kayak anglers out there. You inspired me to start a channel of my own fishing kayak tournaments here on the East coast.
Great tourney Greg, always get excited to see your post. Feel like I’m right there fishing with you! Enjoy your break!!
Good guy Greg sharing knowledge to fellow anglers a day before a tourney! That is awesome!
I like that you upload videos at around 0400. They're there when I get up in the morning. Thank you, sir.
Thanks to you, I was up at clear lake yesterday and fished some of the same coves, and your pattern killed it for me. Great videos man
I love rewatching these
Found your channel a couple weeks ago. I have really enjoyed watching your tournament videos the fact you take the time to take us along is priceless Thanks for the hard work.
Incredible month of tournaments and even better fishing. The grind is real. Appreciate your dedication to the sport.
Greg.... Your videos have become my favorite show. Each tourney, video year is better and better! Great job on all of it man, the video, the fishing, the practice, the elimination of water... All of it man!
Dude I just discovered your content today and you sir are the definition of class! Great stuff keep it up! I’m just getting into kayak fishing can’t wait to pick up my first yak in April!
I learn something every time I watch you fish. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for all the contents through out the years much appreciation and respect. How sincere and honest the way you go about to show us n inspired us how to fish. Again thank you.
Thank you, Neil! I appreciate the comment, means a lot
Thanks for the ride... wish I can have a “bad” day like that... haha 😂
super roller coaster ride! thank goodness for our titans on some of those hook sets! we’d be swimming! Great job! Loved it.
Way to stick with it and never giving up. Great video as always.
Greg!!! The way you set the hook when you’re using a jig is Exactly how you should be setting the hook with the frog!!
Hey man, love the video and always enjoy watching it! Tournament day causes all fisherman to fish a little faster than normal.
Can't get enough of these vids!
Man, I feel your pain. I know that feeling of missing fish after fish. Love your videos. I look forward to every one. You keep me engaged throughout. I’m a weekend warrior fisherman and usually get one day a week to get out. The rest of the time I’m living vicariously through your trips. Keep them coming. Look forward to the next one.
Thanks Tyy! Yep, always seem to fish a bit anxious on tournament days but glad this one worked out okay. Thanks for tuning in man
Really enjoy your vids, my wife and I have recently gotten into kayak fishing and have been trying to learn about tourneys , the process, etc.. your videos have really helped us a lot.
Tough, tough tournament, but you kept your wits about you and stayed positive, which I am learning is 75% of the challenge!
Greg, you’re def one of my fav RUclips fishermen!!! Especially from a kayak. Rus is an absolute beast. He kills out here in TN as well. Tight lines man! 🎣
That frog bait.... still up there! Great job. Great video!
I’m off today and I’m just letting all the tournament video play, about to go grab dinner and come back for some more.
Great videos as always.
Woo Sah is the word of the day...lol I have a lot of days like this man just gotta stay in the game and not mentally check out, you do such a great job of not losing your marbles. I really love this channel.
Loving this keep this long vids bruhhh!
Looks like a fun tournament your fishing in this video keep up the awesome videos
Another amazing video
You still did pretty good Greg. Never give up, 🎣🎣🎣.
Your videos literally put me in the best mood
Dude these long videos absolutely make my freaking day👍🏽👍🏽. I’m at the halfway mark and I’m so pumped that I still have a lot of video left to watch.
Right on man, thanks for tuning in as always!
For what it's worth my family has been fishing Clear Lake since the early 1960s and we have learned that to be successful catching bass with top water lures like the rubber frog 2 things come to mind. #1 is don't try to set the hook when they boil up on the frog, they are slapping at the frog to stun it they will come back to it if you leave it be then 1 twitch and biom, they will enhale it. 2nd is laser sharp hooks, you catch a ton of hydryllia but it will save your butt. Honestly we have used an old fashion Torpedo, medium size. A gentle , slow but erratic retrieve, pole tip side to side then down and all stop, let the ripples settle twitch it once then hold on my friend. Your a great fisherman but I thought I would pass along a little local knowledge if you want to try it. Good luck and good fishing. Good job on your content too by the way.
Man you got to let those bass hold that frog for 2-3 seconds then set the hook. Awesome video!!
The amount of effort put into not only fishing but your videos blows me away. Keep killing the game brother.
Thanks for recognizing that Tanner! Yep, grinding these edits out but loving every minute of it
I’m glad I’m not the only who has the moments telling myself to slow down over and over.
That was great. Can’t tell you how many times we / I have caught the game changer with minutes to go. When you ponder this a bit, no one cast has a better chance of catching a bass than another. As long as the bait is in the water, nature doesn’t care if it’s at 6:30 in the morning or 2:56 in the afternoon. Moral of your video......NEVER EVER GIVE UP!!!!!! Thanks for the adventure Greg.
Great job Greg!!!
The posture change when you missed that frog fish KILLED ME ! You looked like and arrow 😂
Glad I found this video! Instantly subbed.
What a nail biter. That last minute toad was a bacon saver. Watching you the people get to see the highs and lows a tournament angler goes through during a tournament day. Congrats on the 12th place finish. Tight Lines!
Good job Greg. Man Russ Snyders is tear'n it up!
Rus is killin it and us lol
Always watch the practice fishing! Nice catch and the frog bite is always tricky for me too.
Greg another awesome video I felt your pain that’s been my year . Could not get them the yak. Grinding it out though it’s hard not to get in ones own head on days like that . Thanks for sharing all that you do .
What a grind!!! Good stuff!!
Dude, I have to say thanks. From watching your videos I finally went out and bought 5 Keitech football jigs and holy cow, they were slaying it. Same with a popper, haven't fished one in years, finally went and picked a few up and just catching so many fish. Keep up the vids, excited to watch this one.
That's so awesome man. Love hearing stuff like this!
Good see Mike there. He is hilarious. Good to see the guys together. Good luck.
❤ great video like clockwork as always 😊
Rewarded! Great job. Heck of an August.
Hi Greg, I've been looking forward to this video! I actually fished this tournament. First one ever. I had a similar experience with differences between Friday and Saturday. When I switched, Friday, to a bright green belly frog, they started biting. Thought I had my pattern for Saturday, but then they just would not bite on Saturday. At 9:30, I switched entirely away from the frog to a fluke. I caught so many fish on that rig and stuck with it all day. But, as you say, best to have 5 big ones instead of a ton of smaller ones! Thanks again for posting. I always love your videos, but this one had a personal feel for me. Seeing a different perspective than mine was really really cool.
Right on, Bill! Congrats on your first tourney. Yep, subtle changes can be the difference!Hope to see ya at more events
Nothing to be ashamed of with that finish! That last one was a tanker! That place has been hammered by this time of year! I would be lucky to catch one keeper! Enjoyed the vid as always! Thanks, Greg!
Right on, thanks for tuning in!
Great video. Big fan
Another great video
Really enjoy watching your videos I'm just getting into kayak fishing and love it I think I like fixing up stuff for my kayak more than anything
Jason I'm right there with ya! half the fun is rigging it up and getting stuff ready for a day of fishing
All Things Considered you had a good day, solid strategy. Tough hookup day on the frog.
fishin is tuff some times and it will all ways be tuff but some times u got to be tuffer.....great vids keep up thne work .
Love it alot your tournament vidoe....keep it up
I have to admit man, your videos are really good. Your the only kayaker I watch lol really good content man! Hell of a stick as well🤙
Thanks Kyle! Appreciate you tuning in for the ride!
Awesome vids man keep em coming your my fav channel and most people I knows fav channel!
Thank you!
Nice work. That 22 inch bass made the day look so much better.
You’ve been smacking those bass bro and you know wat your doing. Watching your I can pick up a lot of tips and tricks. Some of these larger RUclipsrs can explain a lot but can’t even catch any bass to what they know Keep grinding you doing great.
Thanks man! I just love fishing and figuring out the puzzle. More rewarding on tournament days but always enjoy my time out there!
When you miss one I feel like I’m missing them lol!! Great videos man keep it up!
This was an awesome video bud good job even when it began awful never give up as Ike says !!!! Good job dad
Your videos are the best
Nice editing on the releases! More MTV-cribs style editing also please hahahaha. Thanks for the video bro! Thanks for the info at the end of these videos. I love hearing you talk about chatterbait technique. Keep it up
Thanks man, will do!!
I love your vids Todd job inspiring me to start fishing
Man tough day! Sometimes it's just not meant to be! Great finish to a good month of fishing!
What a fish man!! You had yourself one hell of a month!
Dude I couldn’t help but laugh when you somehow had your line wrapped at the top, and was like, how does that even happen lol
We all have those days bro, keep it up, love your videos. Fellow kayak fisherman here
I love how u put pics of the bait on the corner real nice touch!
Thanks Dillon!
Damn dude, that was rough. Way to hang on and fight to the end. Be safe bro.
Best fishing channel on RUclips. Gonna need to see you throw that S-Waver and Wade Hogg though.. 🤙🏼😂 tight lines brother, Keep up the great work with the videos..
Never fished a kayak tournament, but I love watching you do it. Gonna have to give it a try.
Thanks JT. For sure, it's a blast
fav fisherman !!!! thank you
Great video!
Man 6.2 would be my pb awesome fish and awesome video love it.
Greg.... man you are killin my soul with all the lost fish. Should have won at least one if not both. Keep digging, a win is around the corner.
I bought the same Kayak used a month ago . Love your vids.
Greg should have so many more followers! Great content as usual, Greg! Thank you
Thanks Samuel! Man, I'm truly happy with the following and support that I have right now so all is good!
Great job bro 👌
Eggsellent finish!!!
Omg..i was so frustrated for you in da beginning...but so happy in the end...! 😄
Thanks for the time and effort you put in to make these videos. If you do any challenge videos I'd be interested in seeing you use a Tokyo rig and compare it to your normal punch rig.
Cheers 🍻 to that 22.5! 💪🏼
Enjoyed the longer video! Keep safe in them fires also over in Cali!
AS ALWAYS WAY TO STAY POSITIVE 👌
I love how excited your competitors got when you almost hooked that fish at ~ 10:00
I could feel the frustration brother, at least you got a couple studs😎 Mind right lines tight ✌️
Best content out there
the content is so perfect; i can just lay in bed and watch this and cuddle in my blankets. lol
The occasional long form video is not a bad thing. Great content.
That slow mo release of that 6 pounder was so fire 🔥
Great practice and tournament video, When you caught that 21and 22, that was awesome... If you are ever in Colorado and wanna go fishing hit me up.
WTG! The giant at the end was sweet!
