In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzfaq.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

What a ride. I'll echo what a lot of other guys have said. Your channel is one of the most genuine, fishing-focused channels on the platform, and we viewers have gotten to know and appreciate you over the years, so this victory for you is felt very deeply across the KZfaq Greg Blanchard nation. Well deserved, and well fought for. Your determination up until the last minute was palpable. That said, your video was a fantastic watch as well. Great shots, great edits, awesome plotlines. You really captured what it meant to be out there this weekend. Congratulations, man. You deserve this.

My Wife just asked me why I’m crying “you’re watching a fishing video” so I went on telling her how Greg truly deserved and how much effort he puts into his competitions and filming for his fans. I’m Sure it would be a lot easier just to fish and concentrate on that. Congratulations Greg!!!

Congrats, Greg, you made it! Even watching the video, I can feel the pressure even though it is strange to feel that way as it is different from any other kind of sports, you don't see what you are up against. That's why I like fishing.
@cecapfishing9882 2 жыл бұрын
Wow Greg, I've just had an experience that I've never had with a video before. I decided not to look at comments before watching and BOY was that a good call! Fish by fish, I'm there saying out loud "please get in the net, please get in the net" and celebrating as they did, with a lot of heck yeahs and arms going up By the end of day 2, I was there thinking "heck yeah Greg, solid performance, don't worry about top10, you are such an awesome fisherman!" Then, when u told about the text and that they would be sending those to top10 I screamed NO WAY! As you proceed to tell that you indeed got a top10 spot and went on to the stage, my guy, you got me in tears. You don't know me and probably never will, but we feel like we know you as much as if you were a close friend and we learned a lot with you! Damn, Greg, I was hoping so much for this outcome that I got all emotional about it.... that's a first. Tears going down as I'm writing A big congratulatory hug from Brazil Gabriel
