Thanks Ron! Hahaha happy to get you addicted. Yeah the bite has been strange actually. Every pond is really different on how the fish move and what patterns they are on. Went to a different place today and it was really tough to catch a few. But it's been getting to 90 here. Crazy last heatwave of the year. Thanks for watching 👊

Thank you! Yeah this is an older video of mine but I also recently started exploring more on the kish. All over really. There are so many branches and creeks that run off the kish, it's really cool. It's a great river. Some sections are loaded with pike which makes it fun. Good luck next time! Thanks for watching 👊

HaHhaHa oh yeahhh! Totally true. That was some thick stuff that day. Thank you for watching 👊

Thank you cheese !

Thanks man ! Yeah I was happy to get at least 50+ fish off that one. Usually with ploppers the prop in the back gets messed up before you lose it. But it's all good. That one served me well this year hahaha. Hope to go back and find it on shore somewhere lol. Thanks for watching 👊

Thanks bro ! Yeah it's a fun frog, not sure if I like it enough to fish it more next year but it was fun trying something new. I love that pond. Thanks for watching 👊

You saw a wolf pack?

Thanks Henri ! Yeah I probably could have gotten that back but over on the other side I think is private property. I got permission to fish the one side by a couple home owners and the one side is backed up to a road so it's fair game. So I can only fish 2 sides of the triangle lol. But yeah I wish I could get it back, hope a bass doesn't take it down and get stuck. It's a fun little honey hole for sure! And yeah I seen a wolf pack of bass hahaha. Like 5 of them together cruising. I just like to say wolf pack hahaha. Thanks for watching 👊

@reelfeelfishing haha, I was thinking, dang, watch your back with those wolves! 🤣

Thanks for the info! I'm a firm believer in braid for topwater when paired with the right rod. A lot of people I know use a MH rod with 10-14lb mono like you said less bend in rod but has stretch in line. Totally understandable. But I use a medium rod with 20-30lb braid and never have an issue of losing fish. More bend in the rod and no stretch on the line. It's always worked for me. The lure snapping off like that, definitely happened because what you said however that happens to me maybe once every 5 years. I've been using 20lb-30lb braid for topwater for years as long as it's paired with a medium rod. But I definitely do use a MH with 12lb mono when I know I'm going back and forth with topwater and something below the surface like when I'm out wading with just one rod. So I see what your saying for sure but when I'm strictly throwing topwater with just that rod I love a medium with braid, I never lose fish. Froggin we all can agree on that you need atleast a MH but my opinion a Heavy is better with 50-65lb braid is key. But then again I know people that throw frogs on 30lb braid and they say it's fine. I guess it depends on how thick the stuff is. Thank you for the information and thanks for watching! I appreciate these long comments cause I actually enjoy talking fishing 👊

Hahaha shamu'd that topwater bait!!! Love it! Yeah those bass were hitting it hard just a lot wouldn't take it down. But still a lot of fun just catching some. Good way to end out summer. Fall here we come! Thanks for watching 👊

Thanks Sue ! Yeah that was a bummer that happened. 12$ lure gone hahaha. And I like this pond a lot. It use to be much better but still really fun. Thanks for watching 🙌

Close! It's Wisconsin. The peshtigo river. Beautiful water and awesome colors to the smallies. Full video is linked to the short. Good times! 👊

Hahahaha yeah not too sure about this frog. I got some other frogs that could be better. And man that game was sad... our offense has so much talent and it was wasted game 1. It was a typical bears win and what we've seen the last 20 years. Winning on defense and special teams. Happy they won but not how they won. Hope Caleb can get his life together lol. Thanks for watching 👊

Thanks Todd! Yeah it's a pretty sweet frog, hope to get to use it more soon. Hope the info helps someone out there. Thank you for watching 👊

Thank you Sue! 🙂

Hahaha oh yeah!!! 🙌 love it when you can get on a good frog bite. Thanks for watching 👊

Thanks man! Yeah they are pretty cool. First time using them so hope to get some more use with it before topwater season is over. I have a couple of favorites so not sure if this will get into the rotation but we will see. Good luck with topwater if you go ! Thanks for watching 👊

Thanks Bryan! Yeah it's almost a guarantee that you'll lose or miss fish when you go out frog fishing but man is it fun to watch the hit. It was a nice frog to try but there's a few others out there that I really like. Thanks for watching 👊

Thanks Larry ! Yeah it's so fun frog fishing. Just waiting for the blowup hahaha. And yeah pulling all that salad off and then there's a fish in it hahaha. Thanks for watching 👊

Thanks Chris! Oh man yeah it's a rush when you frog fish. The anticipation kills hahaha. So much fun! Yeah I started to lose fish in the back half of the video. Think I ended up losing a couple good ones but caught some good ones too. So I'll call it 50% but that's frog fishing for you lol. Thanks for watching 👊

Thank you Becca! Thank you for watching 🙌

Thank you Sue ! Yeah hopefully those tricks help people out. It's an adrenaline rush when you go frog fishing hahaha. Thank you for watching 👊

Thanks Ron! It was a lot of fun pulling them through the muck hahaha. Nice testing out a new frog. Thank you for watching 👊

Thank you! Yeah I fish all over Illinois and Wisconsin. I'm in Dupage County sometimes but pretty much all over Central Illinois to Northern Illinois. I do some stuff in Wisconsin around winnebago and green bay area too. But yeah wading for smallies is definitely my jam! Fun times for sure. Hope to see you out there too. Thank you for the support and watching 👊

Thanks Ron! 👊

Thanks Henri ! 👊

🙌 good times !

Thanks Todd ! 👊

Thank you ! It's fun walking those creeks. Thanks for watching 👊

Yeah it's pretty cool cause you never know what you might catch! And yeah crawdads everywhere lol. Some smallies even spit them up when you catch them cause they feast on them so much hahaha. Thank you for watching 👊

Thanks Ryan! Yeah its a lot of fun. Never really know what you're gonna get. Good times. Definitely makes a person better at casting and helps with accuracy. Thank you for watching 👊

So much fun! I love walking the creeks. It helps a lot with casting accuracy. Good times for sure. Thank you for watching 👊

Thank you Sue !

Thanks David! This creek is a blast! Fun area for sure. Love walking it. Thank you for watching 👊

Thanks man ! It's a lot of fun walking it. It's a nice variety for sure. Any fish is cool with me though. Thanks for watching 👊

Thank you Becca! I appreciate that big time! Thanks for watching 🙌

Thank you Ted! Some super skinny water hahahah. Love it. Thanks for watching 👊

Good times for sure! They still surprise me when I get bit in odd places. But it's good to see them still swimming around in 6 inches of water. Thanks for watching bro 👊

Get itttttttt ! First time hopping in a creek this year. So much fun. Thanks for watching Lee 👊

It sure is Ron! I haven't been able to do nearly as much fishing this year but it's a lot of fun throwing topwater in creeks or rivers. And yeah this is from a video last year. It's probably one of my favorite creek stretches. I do it a lot. Good times! Thank you for watching 👊

Thanks Larry! Yeah they get aggressive in that skinny water fighting for stuff hahaha. It's good times. I could have used a smaller bait and probably caught a lot more but I was looking for those bigger ones. Hope the hints help people. Thanks for watching 👊

Good stuff brother.

Thanks Dennis ! Super shallow right now but still can get into some deeper pockets. Fun stuff! Thanks for watching 👊

Thank you ! It's a lot of fun wading creeks and throwing topwaters. Thanks for watching 👊

Thanks Sue! Yes I love September and October. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Love those 50-60 degree days. Thank you for watching 🙌🙂

Thank you ! Good times bouncing around that craw. Thanks for watching 👊

Thanks Ryan! And yeah it has been a beautiful August so far. Unfortunately the end of the week it gets back into the high 80s but around here we've had 2 straight weeks of low 70s and the mornings are in the low 50s. It's like late September already hahaha. Thank you for watching 👊
