Greatings from Michigan. Beautiful area. I love the Whopper Popper for Smallmouth top water fishing....it's a blast! Been doing it in the creeks and rivers here for years. Usually I'll get Northern Pike and the occasional walleye on them also.
Damn that drone footage is slick! I’ve been wanting to jump on that train here soon. I’ve used that whopper plopper and it’s too a favorite of mine. Great video!
I like the 90’s a lot too… that is mostly what I have and throw. I also like the 60 for smaller creeks… I was throwing the 110 because there are musky in this particular creek and was hoping the bigger profile might get me into one… but no such luck. Thanks for watching… I do have some fun with that drone.
I love Love LOVE a Whopper Plopper! Back a few years ago, I caught a 7lb largemouth on a WP down near Orlando...about halfway through the fight, I saw another identical fish chasing the one I had hooked. When he struck, I had two 7 pounders on...one on the front hook, one on the rear hook. The second fish came off right at my feet, so I only landed the one, but that was one of my first experiences with the WP and made a fan out of me! Stay Safe!
I love fishing the WP’s too, if bass would hit it all year round I’m it sure I would throw anything else! That is an a awesome story did you get any footage of it? That had to be crazy! Thanks for tuning in.
@@AverageDadFishing I wish! That was before I ever remotely considered making videos! I’ve got a lot of pictures, somewhere of bass we caught over the years at the fish camp we had there, including a 16.25+ lb behemoth my cousin caught. I say 16.25+ because he carried it around in a cooler showing it off for 27 hrs before we finally talked him into finding a certified scale to have her weighed, and 16 lb 4 oz was the certified weight. Stay Safe!
I have also used the 60. I like it a lot, I had the 110 tied on because I was pretty sure there are Muskie in the section I was fishing… the smallies ended up crushing it. At the end of the float I did see a Muskie, but he had already seen me and wanted nothing to do with what I was throwing at him. Thanks for watching.
@@AverageDadFishing my pleasure. I live in Central Ohio. Oddly enough, I caught a Muskie on a 60 using a Johnny Morris 2000 series signature reel on a matching 6'8" rod, my typical creek Smallmouth setup. I had 8# Power Pro Super Slick braid with a Sunline 12# flouro leader. Hooked her in the corner of the mouth, and she took me for a ride!!! I finally got her tired, and paddled over to a sandbar and got out and finished reeling her in... 40.25"
@@johnnylaw97 I am originally from Central Ohio. I have lost smaller lures to muskies, I have only caught 1 and got lucky with the hook right in the corner of the mouth.
@@johnnylaw97 I am originally from Newark. Moved to PA when I was 14, and here I am 32 years later still in PA. I caught my Musky in Chautauqua Lake in NY.
Pennsylvania, and yes I did change the treble out. I don’t recall the size of the single hook, I do still have the package I could find it. I don’t think it improves the hook up ratios… but it did improve the not getting a hook through my finger (which did happen last year).
@@AverageDadFishing Thanks for the reply. Neat little stream! I totally get the hook in the finger thing. lol I often will pinch down the barbs on trebles, especially that front one. That's typically the one they hit anyway. Sometimes i'll even cut off a good portion of the rear treble. i just hate it when it swings around and impales the fish in a bad spot, or worse me.
Awesome surprise walleye. When bass hit a topwater next to the boat like that it sure is crazy fun. Great day on the creek. Monkey butt got it done!
It sure did…I have caught a ton of fish on that color. I love all top water action. Thanks for watching.

Wow a walleye on the whopper plopped… that would be really cool. We do lose them to Musky around here. Thanks for tuning in!
Awesome Walleye to start the Day!!! Seems like the blue gills is pretty hungry. 16 fish total that’s amazing!!! As always great video Coach 👍👍
Thanks Jun, it was a fun day. Thanks for watching my friend.
Great video! Love the drone footage at the start! Nice catches too! I love that hook!
Thanks, I appreciate it. I’m trying a few things to improve the content. Thanks for watching.
Reminds me of my days fishing the Milwaukee river. Great overall day that I can see!!!
Thanks for tuning in, I appreciate it.

That 90 bone is another good one. I think the 90s action is just as good as the 110 just a smaller profile of course.

Man! Great video all around. Love all the shots. I really like monkey butt…but, T1000 is my personal go-to!
Thank you I really appreciate it! I will have to get the T1000 and give it a shot!
Great Day buddy! Can’t believe I missed this one.
Thank you my friend… it was a fun day
That is my favorite color as well had my best day with that one on some smallies couldn't stay off of it
That’s a blast when you have a heck of a day on top water lures!!! Thanks for tuning in.
Beautiful creek man! Cool video buddy!
Thank you I appreciate it. Thank you for tuning in.
nice catching i always tried to get the pacman colir but never found one
Thank you, some colors are very hard to find.
Awesome job guys, love the content!
Thank you I appreciate it. I just subbed your channel and look forward to seeing your content.
@@AverageDadFishing Just subbed to yours and already enjoying your work! Thank you!! 🙏🏼 🤝🏼
Haven't used the 110. For creek fishing for smallies, the 60 has been my go to lure, especially in the I Know It color.

Whopper Plopper 90 has always been my best topwater lure
Mine too, although I have gotten some nice fish on the WP 60 the last two years. Thanks for tuning in.

Thank you!!!
good stuff
Thank you! Love me some top water action

What part of the country is this ?? Also, did you change oput the front treble to a single hook? If so, what size?
Pennsylvania, and yes I did change the treble out. I don’t recall the size of the single hook, I do still have the package I could find it. I don’t think it improves the hook up ratios… but it did improve the not getting a hook through my finger (which did happen last year).
