You gave those guys more than twice the room they gave you when they first crashed your spot. Whether they had prefished that area, early bird gets the worm. Bunch of tools. True anglers don’t act like that, you’re a class act Greg.
Dude those kinds of assholes flood mossdale n all around there constantly. Pisses me off
@@dillpickle4558 HATE people like that. I've had people in little John boats come right between me and the shore I was casting to, and act like I'm not even there. I have a few choice words for those two in that boat, and none of them are pleasant. You are a far better man than I.
Awesome Greg, just awesome!!!
I have to echo what Dill Pickle and J Holl said...Those dick noses were upset you were there first and and a true angler with class would have just idled slowly by. I appreciate and applaud the way you handled that. We need more fisherman like you!
The second pair of Anglers had the right attitude, even politely asked if they can fish the mats. Greg gave them the go ahead just like he said he would if someone asked.
Dude...the way you handled that situation is a perfect example of why so many people follow and admire you. 100% Class Act.
Could not agree more Greg you're a cool good guy keep it up!
Love it bro you can tell your the bigger man for sure. To many silver spoon fed children, And they dont have to be kids to be children.
Agreed 1000%. Setting a great example, and I honestly think you'd have to really push it to get Greg to even raise his voice. Such a calm guy
Agreed with this comment 💯‼️🎣
great karma coming his way not just great , amazing ! 👍🏽
Nah that was not cool. That guy knew 100% what he was doing. I would never open her up all the way on my bass boat and fly by a kayaker like that. He deliberately put you in danger man. They should be banned from ever competing in any circuit again. Glad you're ok man.
Well said I was going to say the same thing what a bunch of idiots. Not cool at all.
On weekends, it's a free for all in the CA Delta. I've had boats cut right in front of me and the berm, when there's 50+ feet of open water behind me.
100% agree
I've seen that boat on another RUclipsr's video, this is not his first time and probably won't be his last
Not hard to identify that bass cat, I screenshot when he went by and got a partial CF number, he and his partner should be banned.
Man....my blood pressure went up watching that boater. Glad you were the bigger man and stayed calm.
Me too. Glad you showed the cool dudes later, that helped calm me down.
I'm so glad the second boat came through and gave a perfect example of proper fishing etiquette
Well put!!!!
Truth💯‼️🎣
Very well said Greg. That’s the character and response of a good man. The world just needs a lot more of that from everyone else.
Delta douche bags....much respect to you Greg Blanchard.
I'm a "Former" tournament Bass Fisherman. I haven't fished a tournament in 5 years or so. Some of these new generation of tournament guys are out for BLOOD. I saw so much cheating , which in my day was frowned on completely. People getting on plane during a night tournament when the speed limit is 5 mph all night. I fish for fun now. I love your videos Greg, wish there were more Anglers like you out there!!.....
You handled the situation like a true ambassador of the sport, much respect 🎣
Way to combat the conditions, including the two BASSHOLES in the boat. The guys in the second boat at least ask if they could fish near you, the way it should be. Keep the videos coming and hats off to you for keeping your cool.
Well said Greg, unsafe boating is never ok! Operating a boat at that speed, when you’re in a kayak, is inexcusable. We anglers are all friends, we share the same passion for goodness sake! Take care/look out for/help each other so we can all go home safe to our families and live to fish another day.
The contrast between appropriate behavior and inappropriate on full display between the two boats
This was exactly my feelings on the situation. First boat has no idea what it means to live in a civil society a bunch of self entitled pricks. Second guy was gracious and fair.
Agree
@@pmm422 last time someone blew up my spot it was dangerous. Nearly flipped me on my kayak then immediately casts over my line. He had his young son with him so I held my tongue. But I can’t help to think how that young man is going to grow up with that same reckless sense of privilege on the water.
Mad respect for keeping your emotions under control and catching a solid bag.
No excuse for what that SOB did. If anyone knows those clowns they should be exposed.
Agreed if anyone can identify them I'll give 100$ paypal
@@kevingonfishing6023 at 6:15 you can barely make out the boat number it almost looks like (cf 7425 B9) but I’m not a %100 sure that right the only part that is clear is the 7425
Somebody please expose these bastards please! They need to be banned from tournament’s
@@kevingonfishing6023 I’ll add 100 too
One of my favorite youtubers. Passionate, respectful, honest, dude who is just downright cool to watch. Also he’s the king of the dropshot rig 🥳
Hi Greg, as a bass boat owner, I was pissed to see the rudeness of those anglers in the boat. We know we're responsible for our wake and usually ask other anglers if we can go around them. We're especially careful around smaller vessels such as canoes and kayaks. Definitely not cool on their part 😠 At any event, you're the classier fisherman - carry on 🎣
Greg blanchard is the best youtube fisherman ever. I enjoy how mature he acts and doesnt flash his earnings for the world to see. Nor does he do any stupid rediculous challenges with clickbait titles. Ive come to Enjoy watching his drama free calm cool and collected fishing style. Props to you man for keeping it real.
Wow Greg, way to be the bigger person! You handled that situation like a champ! Admirable! Your video and content is enjoyable and informative as always! Keep doing you!
I love the fact that you Greg, paused to explain ur frustration about those first boaters yet, that second group of boaters, complete proper manners 🥰🤙🏽love it !!!!!
They already knew you're a celebrity on here, bro. Pure jealousy! Great job, man!
I could feel my blood begin to straight up boil when those first dudes went screaming passed. You were about 10x more composed there than I would've been that's for sure
You fished a great tournament. You didn’t let the early bassboat encounter spin you out, and you showed a really positive example later in the day of how boat/yak interactions should go. Excellent work, bud.
Ive honestly been having an issue this season dealing with my anxiety/anger with others on the water. I just want peace and not to be so worried. What you said really helped to be honest with you. Slowly but surely starting to find peace as it was when I began fishing. Your the man Greg love following along with your tournaments.
This is why as a newer yak angler, I've yet to go out on any water where there's boats. I guess I'm scared but I'd really like to go fish some of the best fisheries around me. Literally 5 minutes away from the columbia river aka smallmouth paradise and I've not fished it once.
The tale of two bassboats . The day in the life of a yak tournament fisherman . Adapting and persevering . A epic journey showing the two sides disrespect versus respect and the way a world class Angler should conduct himself . Lol very well done . Respect level 💯 keep up the good work .
Greg you are so classy. I’m so glad you took the time to talk about it on camera. I could feel your frustration and I’ve never seen that type of emotion from you so I know it’s real. Thank you for always sharing your experiences and always keeping it real. Great job in the tournament as well.
You continue to impress me with both your skill in fishing and life ! Thanks for being a good role model for new anglers too.
I'm glad you stopped to point out the lack of etiquette those guys showed. I was watching with my 15 year old son who just started fishing tournaments with me. I pointed it out as soon as they jumped you. Thanks for explaining in more detail and stating that if they would have simply asked, you would have moved on....and then that exact thing happened a bit later in the day. As I'm sure you know, a teenager is more likely to listen to anybody over his father lol.
Its my experience that the anglers that have the worst etiquette are the most bothered by small things even if they are in the wrong. I generally like to do what you did, just try to be respectful and let them do their thing as annoying as it is. You're a class act, lotta people could learn from your handling of that situation
Greg you truly represented the kayak group with class. Sometimes it just best to walk away another great video. Thank you
Glad you didn't tip over. The fishing community is on your side buddy.
I cannot believe that glitter boat in the beginning. I watched that whole thing and when they cut in front of you I was in shock and when they blew by you I was even more in shock. I was stoked to watch how you handled that and I think you are a fantastic example of how things should be in our sport. Thanks for representing the right way Greg. 👊
I've watched you for 5
years. Thats the first timei heard you say shit on your videos. I love that. Thats awesome. Great videos man
Seriously impressed on how you handled that situation. I don't understand why people don't have class and morals. Petty. However I did want to day I'm a long time lurker and you've taught me so much caught my first 18" 4.5 lbs bass in Clearlake last weekend! Thank you for the content!
Level-headed dude. I love that I can support you just by watching your channel and hitting the thumbs up. Can't say that about every guy I watch on youtube...
I fish on a boat on the delta all the time. I have to say I would of not of done that. I would of fish the other side or gone down and been out of sight. This is why I like watching your show, you have fishing etiquette. Fishing on a boat or kayak, fishing is fishing we are all out there to enjoy the day. I don't drink coffee or bake lol but this is my number one fishing show I love watching. Keep it up.
At the end of the day all you can do is be the bigger/better Man and you did just that. You held your tongue way better than I would have been able to. Hats off to you sir for doing the right thing, they gotta sleep at night with their decisions.
Thank you for being the better person. Always the best way to handle a situation like that.
Greg, we all look up to you, I know I do. You're a genuine guy. That and so many other vids, is why your a favorite of mine. That was playing with a life on the water. I purchased my 1st kayak. I wanted the 12ft but went with a 10.5, because I have a studio apartment, and it's me, my boat and my dog. Lol.. You got thrown around, but no one can stop the awsome sportsmanship you have. Thanks for another great vid. Love the torqueedo. Expensive, light, fast, worth every penny. Be safe my friend. 🙏🎣🤟
I just subscribed to your channel after watching this video , you sir are a class act and a hella fishermen!
Love the positive attitude you're always able to maintain in any situation. Keep dropping the gems on us!
Greg , you handled that like a champ and with class . As for those fellas , I have nothing nice to say so I’ll just leave it . Love your videos and your respect for the sport and outdoors. Keep it up 👍
Greg you didn’t let them rattle you and that’s nothing short of why you are admired. And what’s bad is they could have just fished behind you and could have slayed them lord knows I have and have had some of my best days doing that. Unfortunately people like that are the ones that end up causing someone to get hurt. But great job man I’m glad you showed it and I admire you for the way you handled it
You're always a stand up guy. Pulling for you in every tournament. Good luck this year!
Proper fishing etiquette is so simple and some people go out of their way to ignore it. Good job dude, 4th place is awesome!
Your kayak fishing is inspiring. I don't drive so, I'll never be able to just get on the water but it sure is fun to watch! Thanks for the video.
Man picking the delta for open tourney is a serious gamble. I like it.
Found your channel a few weeks ago, watched so many of your videos, and I have so much respect for you.
Congrats on the day, Greg. Despite the challenges posed by other boaters, you fished well and deserved your excellent finish! I was out prefishing for the WWBT kayak event on the Delta at the same time. Lots of boats and wind. Unlike you, I got skunked! Impressed how you found them and made it work! Well done. Thanks for sharing. Always a lot to learn from you.
Greg I don't know what the laws are in Cali....but the move that Basscat boat did was against the law in my state. It would be cauterized as wickless endangerment , given a ticket an then disqualified from the tournament they were fishing. But you have the video an there boat numbers.
When I guided we always had our favorite spots, but if someone was there I would just go to spot B, or C or whatever and when they left, come back to that spot. I am glad you didn't let it ruin your day. Nice fishing!
You kept calm way better than I would have. Ive had a boat almost run me over then continue to fish the spot I was at. He got an ear full specially because there was no one within like a quarter mile each way. Good job staying calm.
man, i wish i could stay cool like you. my middle fingers would have been flying, then I would have fished like crap the rest of the day. great example of how keep your composure,
Greg, I kayaked this past weekend and came in range of a few boaters. After watching your video and how you reacted, I went out of my way to be more proactive in engaging with them and being more polite. I respect your character.
As a former tourney fisherman, you were a lot cooler than I would have been Greg. I haven't tourney fished in over 15 yrs now as I got tired of the bs like that guy displayed. The guys in the second boat are the class act along with you! Love your vids!
Awesome Greg 👌4th place! 🏆
Greg, you are an incredible Sportsman. My hats off to you for the way you handle such matters. We need more, many more like you. Hope you win today. Love your channel
Well done. You did much better thanyou probably expected. Sad to see there isn't a NY next to your name anymore. Interesting to see the difference in boaters. The 2nd boat did exactly what you said the first boat should have done... And you were a man of your word. Great job all around. Just burnt my last pc. of toast writing this comment so breakfast isn't going to be good now. 😢
A boat is responsible for its wake. That has happened to me but not quite as bad. I hope someone recognizes him and reminds him to be treat others with respect.
Nicely said wish more people were like that when fishing!! But always that you for sharing love to watch you slay the bass✌️
Greg the FACT that you decided to address the idiots behavior to your RUclips subscribers shows the type of character you have. It's what you said that really puts you above people like that and teaches a lesson to your younger viewers. Even your older viewers who need reminders why we do what we love. I have nothing but respect for you dude. You were raised right buddy.
Fished the pro circuit for years as an AM. No name pros were out of control. This video reminded me of that. Very upset for you. Keep up the good work
Dude, you handled that in such a professional and classy way. Good job Greg!
I get an inhospitable vibe in the Delta almost every time I go. Even had a Truck with blacked out windows started randomly following us one day. Watch yourself out there Greg and keep that camera rolling. Good Luck.
There are a lot of those high end boat having bassholes out on the delta. They act like the delta is theirs but they're just pissed because they spent all that money and still can't catch'm. Boat just keeps you dry and even that is not a given. Grats to you for keeping your composure and not letting it distract you from your goal.👍🍻
Great video and congratulations on the strong finish.
You could look into a wrist rocket and 3/8 ball drop shot weight would straighten them out quickly!😈
You are kind sir! Great human being. 90% of people including me would probably have ripped those guys. You’re an inspiration.
Been watching for a couple years it seems like... love your videos makes my day
Ya had to say it! Lol.
“I can’t believe I haven’t lost any fish today”.....
The fish gods were like, Hold my Rod!
And that one may have been the one.
Actually enjoyed this one, right on! I'd have to say I agree indeed a bit of a roller coaster! For the record that was so UNCOOL of that jet boat. Always love fishing the Delta. Just got back today from it and heading back tomorrow early. Tight lines Greg.
Much respect to you man. You handle it great. I used to fish from a kayak and still do sometimes. I know how it feels to be treated like that by dudes in big boats. Ive been through those bad experiences too. Now i fish in a boat but i always give my respect and boater etiquette to kayakers, boaters and bank fisherman because I know how it feels to be in their shoes.
You are a positive dude with a great fishing show. It showed by the way you processed that event with those two worms on the bass boat. And 4th place too.
Your way nicer then me Greg!!! That's enough to start a little scuffle when we get back to the ramp 1000%
Congratulations on 4th... first boat was straight-up A-Hole, nothing you can do. Class act bro, be the bigger fisherman.
You're a great role model Greg. Fishing is for fun. Way to keep your composure.
Greg great video not cool what those guys did! I give you a lot of respect you always have a good attitude on the water I have been watching your channel for a long time and you are a Great person keep doing what you do this coming from another kayak fisherman best of luck in the season 👍
Great attitude and great fishing. Love your videos!
the sunglasses tan is coming in full force and i love it
You handled that a lot better than I would’ve. I would’ve memorized that boat and had a nice convo with them in the parking lot. Disrespectful pieces of sh*t.
Class act Greg.
I watch and subscribe to your channel all the time and this is the first time I’ve ever made a comment. I fish tournaments myself and would never have done what they did to you. I can’t add anything to what you said because you said it perfectly and handled the situation even better. You are definitely a class act because I would have handled it differently but that is me. Either way keep doing what you’re doing. I’m really enjoying your content on a regular basis and look forward to your next sir.
Dude 4th place finish is great man! Congrats! Screw people with no respect. You handled it well and I agree with what you said about it.
Love the oldies but goodies
The guys in the beginning are the best example of people who can ruin anything. The guys at 18:55 are the best example of the kind of angler I think we should all try to be. That placement was not bad at all, good job man.
Glitter rockets, then lake lice......Gotta love the weekends. When I fish tournies, my internal voice becomes Tommy Biffle, and all I hear is the next three miles are mine...I'll cut ya!...LOL
Man I get up so many mornings at 5:00 only to go back to bed cuz I just can't get up and get out good job!
You’re a bigger person then they are. You’re true class Greg! Those guys.....showed just how ignorant they are. Keep doing your thing Greg!
Respect for staying calm & collect. Keep up the hard work Greg!
Class act. And keep up the amazing videos. I can't believe you were one chunker away from first
Those kind of guys on the boat are the ones that deserves to be pissed on if they were on fire. Props to you for keeping your cool Greg, I would’ve waited for them at the ramp.
I disagree, if they were on fire, I wouldn’t piss on em to put em out. 🤷🏼♂️
That'd be an insult to my own piss
You're the best Greg. Don't let the rotten ones get to you. Wish everyone could understand and just be nice.
You know what’s awesome about Greg is he just keeps on fishing regardless of the kooks around him!
My new fav bass RUclipsr
You are 100% correct it’s fishing and meant to fun. We are all competitive but some take way to far to the extreme and not worry about who else is on the water. I have a bass boat and a kayak. They could have easily idled out then got on plane.
Love the anchor dumbbell lol
great vid Greg, thank you! Congrats on 4th, your persistent attitude in the face of all sorts of issues is a great lesson to all!
Damn! You and taco napkin cracked top ten. Those boat guys can have a nice day😑
Hey Greg what’s going on my guy. Haven’t commented in a while but haven’t missed a video either. Congratulations 4th place hell yea. 👊🏿 I thank you for taking us along, I know the work that goes into each and every video. Your time is much appreciated.
Super proud of you and I look forward to seeing you on the next one.
Good job! A-hole boaters is why I don’t like fishing the delta in my kayak. Thanks for sharing the experience. Stay safe.
Nice to see a friendly interaction from the 2nd group on the boat. Was a battle for top 5 and probably 1st if you landed that last fish.
If we all fished like Greg, The world would be a better place.
Just like I'd like to expose those crappy guys, I'd like to appreciate the second boat. That's what common decency and respect looks like.
Very well said, I have boats fly past me like that all the time and it sucks!
