Damn....I got to give props here to Ish! Great video, learned a bunch and very professional instructional video. Do more Ish, for sure.

7 years, i have been watching this video for 7 years. i remember watching this when it came out as a little 10 year old, now im 17 and still keep coming back because i DO. NOT. KNOW. WHY but there is something about this video, the talk, the rods, the tips and the fishing. i love this video soooo much
It’s called Aspergers, my friend
All the people trashing him over 65 lb braid, I don't get it. When fishing heavy cover (as you normally are when frogging), you need strong, durable line to get through the moss, weeds, lilies, etc. Braided line doesn't stretch, which is important when frogging. Anyone who knows anything about bass fishing will tell you fluoro line is a no go for topwater lures. It sinks and will hinder the action of your lure. Mono has too much stretch, IMHO. Braided line has a much smaller diameter per pound of test than other lines. The maxima 65 lb he uses has a diameter of 0.016 inch which is equal to 17 lb test monfilament. Look into topwater frog fishing before you talk Ish in the internet (see what I did there?), you just might find out that he knows what he's talking about. I mean, shoot.... it's not like he's a top pro bass fisherman, right? That is known as one of if not THE best with that particular lure.(all respect to Dean Rojas!)... get off your high horse...lol. it's fishing.
Kryptonite357 My last trip I used heavy braid. My worm got caught on something and I was determined to get that damn worm back (in a kayak btw). Im reeling this thing in and it pulls my kayak right on top of the snag. After a few seconds of reeling hard I see my worm snagged on a branch. A full tree branch that washed in the river after a recent flood. I love heavy braid.
+Kryptonite357 thank you
+Kryptonite357 They're scared of the new and what they dint understand. I'm gonna be flogging on 80lb. Braid this summer! Ish is awesome.
You have to use braid, i use 40, n it works fine in my area lily covered, i was using 50, but to throw a bit farther is worth it. ,,,is there pulls my n my yak
The idea is to land the fish not lose it, fishing 65# braid in heavy cover is the way to go.
Holy hell! I think if I had caught that last one I would need a cigarette afterward. That was beautiful!
Ish is the greatest lol I swear the man could sell a burger to Ghandi
Ya know thanks for the video. Ya know i really liked it. Ya know it really helped.
Damn it guys, now its all I hear..lol
Brian Urias Damn you!!
Ya kno

Very nice instructional video. I usually go do my frogging for game-fish in New Jersey and I am definitely willing to try one of these now! Very nice pointers on the colors as well.
I gotta say, though -- "Walking the Frog" is pretty neat! I usually walk spooks and stuff like that, but a Frog? Man...now I wanna try it! Thanks for the video.
I'm in Jersey also .yes i liked the tip about the color of the frogs and when to use what color
@@thatfishingdude9356 same here. Our water is not quite up to temp this year yet and the rain storms have been playing havoc but I do love the top water frog and toad bite.
M mb.
Some of the biggest bass I’ve caught were on frog lures. I can’t remember who made it, but I was like 14 and watched a fishing show and they were using this frog lure and just cleaning up. I begged my parents to take me to the pro shop to get one of those frog lures. I finally got one and went out with my step dad. He was using a plastic worm and telling me my frog wouldn’t work. Within like 15 minutes I had landed my first big largemouth. I wasn’t catching little ones. I was pulling in the 3+lbs and more. Since then frogs have always been in my tackle box. Man I want to go fishing so bad now. I need to quit watching these fishing videos.
What did your step-dad say when he seen you land the big one? Did he beg you to use your lures?
Can't get over the accuracy of your casts. If I tried that there would be about $200 in lures stuck all over those docks. Then I would go for a stiff drink and sell what's left of my fishing gear.
***** so true with the birds best, there's a TH-cam video on here that shows a very good way to get birdsnest out of baitcaster...works really well. I bought my first baitcaster two years ago and it's in my garage collecting dust. Lol..but after I watched that video I recently rigged it back up and I'm gonna give it another go this Sunday.
i feel for yall im only 16 and i can cast like that plus id be standing there collecting your lures lol
Seth Roberts sounds like you should be fishing some BFL events!
Dont have a boat or access to one
Seth Roberts think about being a co-angler!
Watching him work the bait... I literally said out loud “this m’fer has been froggin for years” to myself.
The build up for that absolute PIG was worth it. Thanks for the tips! Trying frog fishing for the first time this week!
Liked this video. You always see videos where theyre fishing the favorite honey hole and snag fish left and right. This one is more realistic showing how to catch them when nothings working.. really working hard for strikes.
Very nice instruction from a man who know how to bass fish.
@11:34. Bro! My man Ish just pulled a PIG out the water bro! Al Linder & Larry Dahlberg (the inventor of the Whopper Plopper) are a couple of my favorite Legendary Hall of Fame Fisherman. My guy Ish added to that list TODAY; while watching this video and after attending “class.” 🤣😂
before frogin on the CA Delta it was Rat fishin done with the mans Ratt. on open water I prefer buzz baits. and frogs over cover. but Im no Pro and I don't dout this guys fishin.
this guys awesome
you know?
I’m sold on frog 🐸 fishing 🎣. In the first 5 minutes that I used one, I caught a 4 pounder and then several more small ones, all on a cheap frog.
You're the first video I could find that zooms in and actually show and tells me how to fish a frog, thank you.
just listened to ish monroe at the wisconsin fishing expo, lots of information and a really cool dude!!!
The best instructional fishing video I’ve seen!!!! Great job!!! Thank you!!!
" ya know"
I thought the first one was a nice chunk, but that second one was an absolute HAWG!!
One of the best videos I have seen about frog fishing.
Outstanding job, Ish!
Damn!!
I almost jumped out of my chair when you caught that huge bass!!
Loved the excitiment, “that’s what I’m talking about!!”.
Keep up the great vids.
From a new subscriber..
@1:24
He drops some Gems.... too many people think when theyve got a frog tied on theyre only imitating a frog to the fish.... id bet 80% or more of the time when a bass hits a hollowbody frog theyre thinking its a baitfish.
Never considered this until watching this video...great pointer!
I owe a very, very special THANKS to ISH. After I watched this video and applied the techniques of my favorite frog fisherman, I landed my very FIRST FISH on a FROG. I had been trying to learn to work a frog for weeks but I couldn't get the hang of it. ISH makes it look so natural that I thought I can do this". Next thing I know the water was like a mine field in a warzone, BLOWING UP EVERYWHERE! Thanks again buddy!
The frog has now replaced my hula's! By far this bait is worth the $ to clean up the banks! Thanks Ish! Great Video!
U saw a bass eat a gopher???? How big was the fish, 60lbs?
I saw one eat a baby duckling. I never thought anything could shock me until I saw that.
Skip to 9:39 to see the GIANTS his signature frog will help you catch!
gotta love all the water splashing around on the inside of the frog at 10:04 lol, besides that these are still my go to frogs. that and Bobbys perfect
Lollll I thought the EXACT same thing!! Was like, Ummmm so about the part where no water gets inside....you'll never have to squeeze water out of it....etc" loll SMDH -__-
I think those were rattles.
Nice accurate casts and nice fat bass at the end of the video. Keep doing work man
Take a shot every time he says 'you know'.
I have recently discovered I can not walk a frog....all it does is lunges forward in a straight line
Doug Kichman I’m slowly figuring it out. The key is after the twitch “give back some slack” and the frog will actually turn. My 2 cents anyway
What a fat bass! I fish with frogs when the mist is still on the water in the very early morning. The bass are spooky, so I flip the frog in cover and let it sit for a couple minutes. I twitch it, and let her sit some more. Eventually, a fatty will bust through the cover and it is Miller time. Hey Ish, thanks for making your frog sink proof. The sinking scum frogs were a pain. Take care, Bill.
Insane catching that bass in all that green! Great example on how to use that frog. I never ever would of thought of fishing like this. Thanks for the input! I'm sold on the frogs!
Love these frogs. Thanks Ish.
Been a steelhead fishermen all my life in the PNW. Now that my kids are getting to the right age to start fishing I am taking up bass fishing. Thanks for the informative video that I can use with my family while we are out fishing.
Ish is awesome
I just started froggin' new to fishing so far all I caught was a 2lb Bull Frog 😂 he was super aggressive. Even after I released him he kept coming back for more bangin' the frog.
Your accuracy is Frog flipping awesome. Good job.
Fished mega bass on lake fork and my buddy mentioned your name. I'm a huge fan now!!! Hopefully get to meet you at an event.
You are “The Man” to learn Frogging from. I just started using a frog, and you confirmed my idea about how to work the frog. Thank You!
I use 40 power pro it works just fine in thick lilies
You already had my attention when you said you caught a bass with a gopher in its mouth. Then you threw a frog that looks like Cookie Monster under a dock that was 10” above the water. Then you caught a freakin pig at the end. I have loved topwater forever and frogging over the last year and watch videos on it regularly. This was great footage. Thanks, Ish.
Never went bass fishing. But it looks like I need more gear and a day to cover more ground from land. I don't have a boat but I want give this a go!
Manuel Arreguin You don't need a big fancy boat, just get a kayak and hit the water. Would recommend at least a 12 footer. Sit in or On top, whichever. You don't need the fancy fishing kayaks either. Just about any flatwater Yak will do the trick.
Sweet tip thanks man
+Manuel Arreguin actually you can bass fish from shore with ease. you're just a little limited. I'm a shore fisherman and slay the bass. most of bass fishing is about targeting shallow cover near the bank anyway. just look for some vegetation or fallen trees or other fishy looking spots and pitch a Texas rigged worm or something
Ish you sound like a good instructor but I never see you catching anything' what gives ?
+Tom Thomas did you watch the whole video?
Great video man, I learned alot watching this. Keep em coming
Howdy from South Texas. Fantastic video and a very good catch.
Sold my friend! I grew up froggin and I found it therapeutic. EXCEPT when my “weedless” frogs frequently end up caught in the weeeeeeeds. The simple fact that I can throw your frog all day long and not stay hung up, sounds amazing. Hell I wouldn’t care if I caught a fish or not.

@10:28. -BRO! 😳😧 Did he just SLING that bait under that dock with that level of accuracy!
And he did it quick and effortlessly too; with no thought! Like he was slinging that bait out in open water. Me on the other hand, I would have to take a moment to aim that cast... and possibly SLAM the lure into the dock 🤬... Hell I would just look at that spot... think about it for a sec... “-Naw I’ll cast over here instead! 🤣” IF, I made that cast I would be like:
“-YES!” As if I was Napoleon Dynamite, or as if I just caught a 12 pound Bass. Ish a Pro.
Man Ish is like the Drew Brees of Fishing with that casting accuracy. Respect ✊🏽 Brotha! Imma be like that when I grow up!
in my country the set up that u use is equal to fight with giant snakehead...here we call it heavy cover game (hcg) for snake head that sneak under the lilypad or lotus tree and between the weed...nowdays most angler is using the hollow body frog lure for this kinda technique n it is effective
He gave a great deal of information and knowledge under the stress of a camera in his face! He delivered the goods landing that hog from wayyy back in heavy cover!
Great job camera man and awesome job angling! This video is underrated!
Awesome video! Very informative. I'll be using these tactics next trip. Nice catch!
Will definitely follow you on your fishing technique On frogging fishing Pleasure watching your videos
20lb test? Are you kidding? You know you might as well use aircraft cable, you know. How about picking up a fly rod and landing that bass with some 1x leader? But really, I got the 50# braid after the first two hogs I got on the frog broke me off with 15# trying to pull them out of the slop. Would 20# have done it? I doubt it on one of them...
braided line and haulin them straight to the boat without letting them put up a fight, found my new favourite fisherman... that's exactly what I do on any type of bait 🤣
Bad fish handling! Either hold vertically or support the belly. Also, never let the fish flop around on the deck carpet. It damages their slime coat! How do anglers *not* know this yet!!!!?????
Pretty good fisherman! Not many people with the passion! How about 8 inch worm run it like snake on top cover. Can I get UGLY STIK 8.6 medium or MH
What if it is sunny but the water is muddy what color should you throw
If you have a frog lure with legs, one thing to do is put a big fat gummi worm on the hook and a weight next to the hook's eye, and jig your nearly mature tadpole down in the deep water near heavy cover/floating structures etc. You can pull MONSTER bass up off the bottom like this.
I’ve been froggin my entire life with much less technical bs and sales of ridiculous equipment. I slay bass on a fly rod with frogs too. Way too much information that makes zero difference.
*HOLY CRAP, THAT BASS AT THE END WAS MONSTER!!!*
I grew up watching Orlando Wilson.....he didn't do nothing no better or different than my brother here... so lets not find the small things to ridicule this brother on... because its really exposing your evil nature.....
Ish, along with bass, I fish for Northern Snakehead in Maryland. They are spooky and have eyes on top of their head so skipping Into cover and hiding spots is what gets it done often.What is your key for skipping a frog over a longer distance for stealth purposes? They don’t have lips so I get misses more often than with bass. I have some of your frogs and love them. Thanks for the videos and your reply Ish!
I cat fished all night. Not a single bite. Fished a bobber, fished reasonable far out bottom, then way out on bottom. Not a single bite. But I grabbed a crappy Yellow frog from walmart last night $5.00. I hit a small pond this morning in the rain right at Daylight and I got 7 nice strikes. I did not land anything so I came her to see what I was doing wrong. Looks like I was doing it right just trying to set the hook to soon.
If I can get strikes in a $5.00 frog imagine what I can do with a good frog (and not understanding when to set the hook). I am so excited to get these and fish them soon.
Alright so what happened to him saying the frog won't fill with water? 10:20
I’ve pulled bass out with over 10lbs of vegetation with 20lb braid with a fight of at least 3 minutes
There are places I go where you need 65 lb to saw though the cover, In Florida I saw guys with rakes who make hoes then fish them 30 minutes later the. 65 is like a brush hog and, the only frog I ever fished with was called snag proof , I see big bass that will not even bite frogs , but the floating plastic worm will work
nice video when I move to the may land I will use frog lures Thanks for the awesome video you made me learn more different things I am really thankful got to go.
I just started fishing this summer. the little lake next to my place is absolutely riddled with lilypads, but has really decent pike. kept losing lures to the damn lilypads. dunno how i first heard of them, but eventually i ordered some frogs to deal with the issue. and man, let me tell you: nothing quite like a pike striking a frog! like a goddamned freight train! real good way to learn how to hook set: the wake before the strike gives you some warning and lets you really figure out when you're too early or too late
man you seriously have mad skills when it comes to casting. Great video and I appreciate your tips on different types of precintations of the lure.
Please welcome to the weigh in stage: Ish "Poche punchin" Monroe!!!
Sorry I know it's old but it's an oldie but goodie. I still like Ish lol
i only use braid when fishing in heavy cover... if i'm just pitching banks or edges i'll use regular line, because those big bass get smart...
Yes becuz squeezing my frog is the worst and hardest thing ever
Dude i just bought the papa midnight frog you showed yesterday without even knowing who you were or watching this video man i cant wait to try it to see if it works bro
Where can I find that blue color frog, tackle warehouse doesnt have em, guessing they dont make em anymore, ishs phat frog on there now is a bullywa
Can't catch any bass down here in the southwest Louisiana. Frustrating just getting into bass fishing. Any tips TH-cam?
HEY! Loved this video. One question what do you say about color line, iwas given some don't know if its good to go with it.
I'm sorry but this might be for tournament fishermen who have lost the love of fishing (if that's possible) and just want money fish in the boat. This isn't fishing this is hauling.
Roland Martin says 65 pound braid it's needed pulling those big bass out of that heavy cover.
I very seldom hear any frogs from the banks. Will artificials work under these conditions??
No matter how hard i try, and no matter how many of these kinds of videos I watch, I still can't even get a bite with frogs. Any other advice?
You're probably fishing them around bass that don't want them. So, you might want to find different bass or just drop it until you get in the right situation.
I rarely get bites with frogs up in NH.. I fished them way back in the early 90's and I tried them again last year.. still nothing. They just don't seem to be looking for frogs around here. I've been way more successful with Jitterbugs and Chugbugs/Spooks. I've also had way more success in heavy cover by punching through it than going on top of it.
That's true what he says about using black and yellow in California. Trust me. I know.
hey where can i get your fogs from website information would be help full thanks and great video
I dig what you're saying here bro, but if i had a dollar for every time you promoted a brand, either your own or daiwas,i could retire.
feel bad for ishs products if he didn't let strike king miss price his frog his frog would be spros or booyah value on the market
ya know
I love that combo he’s throwing and at $1000 it should be very nice.
He rips 'em in and swings 'em in the boat bc he isn't used to catching them often, doesn't want to give them the chance to get away...
Fish light and bright colors on a dark day according to KVD. I'd rather listen to KVD.
right at like 9:39 he catches a fish and in most videos like this from any one they do not catch to maney fish but if you think about it every 9 min or less is good
Nice payoff at the end...! lol
Because you have 65 pound line is why you can pop 9 pounders into the boat... genius
great tips from a master of frog fishing
Learn to respect the fish! All this video shows is how to not respect them
muskrat ish...lol all good I had a small baby rat in my livewell from a fat bass barf up
nice ending! "Biggin"
Can someone please describe how to fish it like what motion to use and how to make it walk the dog and how to hold the pole
I catch big fish just with a line and stick! So it’s not the gear it’s the technique!
