Fishing a KEITECH Swing Impact Fat for FINICKY spawning bass
Crazy to see how a certain bait can make a tough day for finicky bass go to fishing like you’re on a private pond for bass that have never seen a bait in their life!

Greg with 2 video drops?? i know where my next 28 minutes will be spent🙌🏼🙌🏼
You've discovered one of the most productive baits for central Texas rivers. I prefer the action of the strike king rage swimmer. It's got better action at slow retrieve.
11:38 awesome to see the bite on the rod, great sequence.

Nice day!!! Had my best day 2 days ago. My 22 yr old son and I spent about 3 hours walking a pond and caught 15 bass and a warmouth! (9 bass and the warmouth were mine!) Our biggest was 18 1/4", we had no scale with us.
Love the swing impact and the Easy Shiner! One of my favorites.
Once again great video those rough slow days of fishing sure make you enjoy the days when they slam anything!!!!
When they’re biting the swimbait it’s always a good day! solid video as usual 👊🏻👊🏻
Constantly coming with great content. Greg your the man.
Great video Greg and Keitech sure were slaying them 👍🏼
Wow! Way to figure it out. Totally killed it! Thanks for the vids.🎣
That is why the Keitech Swing Impact Fat is my absolute favorite paddle-tail swimbait. I also prefer the belly-weighted EWG swimbait hook, but since I fish a lot of grass and lily pads, I prefer the hooks that have the screw lock on the eye, I usually change out the screw lock to a bigger one, it really helps keep the lure in place much longer.
Awesome video, you had em goin! Keitechs been producing for me lately as well!
After trying everything it feels great to get the bite going. Great video you can’t go wrong with the swim baits
Keitech is an awesome bait...nice work Greg!
Great way to start day 15 of the "shelter-in-place" thanks a bunch Greg!

Those are my most favorite swimbaits. And also the electric shad color is really great. I also like the easy shiners to. They work really great.🙂
Thanks for the uploads Bro

You jacked them Greg. Awesome when you find the pattern. We use those keitecs for barramundi. Just the bigger ones though.
Thanks for putting the rear camera back in play. Much better.
You put the smack down bro!!🤘🤘
Nice video brother. Keep it up 👍
Awesomeness! Started raining there a little bit front coming in might have turned them on
Nice!! Another good video as always.. I fish the kietechs on a owner screw lock swimbait hook...they hold up a little longer..
Love keitech swim baits. Also, you are about as good as ive ever seen with calling weights on fish. 👏👏
Those things catch fish every day for me, most times better than the senkos. Great video.

When you get your Burrita, You must go with Carnitas!! Its my favorite!!
Love your videos your super dope keep fishing ✌️
Those kitech are the best in my opinion i use them all day, just plastic is to soft so you blow through them after every second bit for the most part, great vid
Mannnnn, barely caught this today!!!! I got all angry there for a min. Trying to figure it all out & whatnot. Thxs as always sir.
That Keitech Electric Shad is always a good go to bait.
Wow wow exellent ! Bro
Nice video 👍
Get you some large centering pins for those keel weighted hooks my guy! Tight lines!
Keitch are 1 of my favorite, try a river 2 sea dwalker last longer and great body roll and tail movement. Switch to screw in beast hook underspin .. 1 dwalker lasted all day with a few stripers in the mix.. u will be suprized i was
I always have an Exoswim tied on rigged the same way. I put a red bead on between my bobber stopper and my knot just for the splash of color.
Dude I bought a bunch of keitech fat shad after this last month. Caught so many multi species bass using the tapered spring swimbait hooks and saved more bait with twist on tapered spring.,
Man so much fun . Im jealous
Way to grind it out and find the pattern, you matched the hatch!
Keitech is my favorite bait. Yes
I use an 8lb. dumb bell as well. It's perfect, it doesn't get caught up in brush or trees like a grab anchor
You should do a series where you try to catch a double digit.

would love to see him actually target fish on a swimbait, but it's very very hard from a kayak since at least with the hardbaits you need to make very accurate casts and be able to see high up to locate followers. and if you get bit it's hard to land em sitting down.
Tournament type outing!!! 👍👍 Have you ever done a casting count?? It really looks like you are really fit the way you cast all your baits. Thanks again for the trip and peace to you .

I have many more GB vids in my Playlist I haven't watched yet. It's awesome to see the inspiration he's brought us all. With our kayaks, accessories, his different arsenals, techniques, and everything else he's progressed with this sport. 💯 🛶 🎣
Nice job Greg.👍.Delta will be on fire for a while now.
oh my gamaktsu hook keeper boxes have arrived. i bought both the shallow and deep. my ned's & shaky heads look like little soldiers lined up for inspection lol
That's how ya do it by sticking with the changes !!!
Nice fish man! Love the videos, I’m from Lodi and have been trying to find good spots in the delta to launch at that’s somewhat near me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Killen at the end,and a red eye bass to boot nice.
Nice vid! I like to throw them with a 5/0 3/16 oz screwlock the baits last a lot longer and swim better...I think...... ps that is a must throw all spring...all year really
Hi Greg. Love your vids thanks! Are you still going to make it back to N.Y.and Cayuga lake soon? Not sure if you can pull it off with everything that is going on.

Hi Greg..great video. I have a question in regards to the titan 10.5 and the slayer 10.5...I am trying to see which one to pick up...I do a lot of similar fishing like you..since you have both...advice?
Greg, you’re the reason why I purchased a Titan! How often do you fish a week?
@GregBlanchardFishing

Awesome man! I'd say 2-3x/week
Always bring kel-tech swimbait during early or during spawn for sure you will definitely catch bass. Was out at the delta 2 years ago and was catching 5+ pounder all day with kel-tech swimbait.
Great day! You whacked’em!
Personally I like seeing the big girls gettin weighed. Keep up the awesome work Greg 🤙👍🤟

I like my Keitech, but they rarely last more than one fish.
Lol Greg finding out about Fat Swing Impact and finally understanding the hype! You should rig it with a Owner Beast or the Flashy Swimmer...and whenever you start getting grass growing up going to the Easy Shiner on a Dirty Jigs Finesse swim jig is the ticket!

Greg Blanchard....when I can’t fish by myself on a lonely beach or lonely river the world as we know it is over.
That bass almost looked like some of the bass around our lakes kind of a mix between a black bass and a smallie more of a gold tint on the sides
I think YT accidentally published this video, today as well, instead of three days later, or you’re giving a bonus video. 😜🤙🏼

Greg, not to question you but to show the difficulties of the Delta. How many times has a "Pre-Fish," worked out for you? Is Mike Ioconelli correct when he says "You cant fish yesterday's fish?"
Just wanted to give you a tip. I live in mexico and when we get those conditions grab a split shot rig with a watermelon magic or green pumpkin magic and hold on. Greetings
Hey Greg not sure if you already have one but you should look into getting a polarizer filter for your GoPro cut down the glare from the water.. keep it up man love the videos

Greg Blanchard Only one way to find out!!
i run the screw lock hooks with my kietechs allows me to get a few more fish out of each one
Do you ever find that leaving your pedal drive down causes extra drag when you cruise around on your torqeedo? Just wondering why you choose not to put it up when you're not using the pedal drive? Awesome video! Thanks
@GregBlanchardFishing

nope, i've tested both ways! also, i would rather it something on my pedal drive over my torqeedo lol
Red eyes from where I’m from are rock bass but that bass looks nothing like a rock bass lol great video Greg 👍🏻

In CA, we have red eye bass. They look more like spots. Spots and smallies have been known to mix with largies in the delta to create "mean mouths". They don't get very big, but they're aggressive like spots and smallies and grow faster.

Go find surfacing seaweed that come off the bank about 3-5 feet and that is where the big fish are at.

Use medium or large CPS springs from owner, it won’t eat up the keitechs as quickly
