When the King of topwater fishing makes a video about frog tips, you better believe I am going to be glued to the screen and taking notes! Amazing video man, thanks for putting a video like this together. You taught me a bunch and im sure experienced and unexperienced anglers will learn from this.
+Tuco Salamanca Thanks Tuco, glad you enjoyed it.
TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT
Finally some bamabass how-to vids!!! 👍👍
+1Rod1ReelFishing Practice your frog dangling from tree technique before you come next Spring!
+mojo jojo Haha, I told him when he makes the trip I am going to put him on his personal best. It should be quite interesting!
fully agree! can't believe he uses mono, lighter braid and shorter rods though. whatever works I guess!
น้บา

Keep coming out with how-tos! I love them! The idea of hanging the line over limbs in spring is genius. Everybody uses a frog and most ppl are good but bamabass is my favorite frog fisherman
Nice. I'll keep working that frog. I totally agree with getting excited when you finally get a blow up. I must have casted 30+ times(working a slower presentation) before it happened. I missed it but this video gave me the confidence to want to keep throwing it. Thank You!
Thanks for the technique suggestions. Getting slack out of the line was one of my problems after a strike. Great video!
that chair looks comfy as hell

Ryan Caperchione it is...
I am a largemouth fishing maniac from Toronto, Canada. Your techniques for frog fishing work in every environment even a colder one like here in Ontario. Great explaining and your video editing is excellent. Love early morning topwater...your tip on reeling a little slack in before the hookset is a great tip. Tight lines
Great video. Lots of good tips. I just wish we had Large mouth Bass here.
+Andy's Fishing Thanks Andy
I set the hook on a slackline 90% of the time when I'm throwing a frog. My hook-up ratio has skyrocketed since I started slackline hook setting. I'm definitely not saying you are wrong, just that there is more than one way to do this. Love all your videos!
You're the BOMB, Stephen!!! Great video! Not only are you a great fisherman- but you have enough integrity to share your knowledge, so that we can catch more- many thanks!!!
+Wes Bayers Thanks Wes.
Keep this how-to/tips & technique videos coming!
Great tips!
Man, love your tips! I'm one the new guys and have lost a butt-load of heavy strikes to an improper hook set. I appreciate your help!
I liked the pointer on pointing the rod tip at the fish to where all the slack has been taken up. Good stuff. Would like to see a video on how you actually retrieve the frog to where you can walk it or pop it.
By far the best frog instructional video on TH-cam that I have seen. Great video
+Andrew Harrell Thanks Andrew, glad you enjoyed it.
Finally, an non-sponsored(I've order via Bama Frogs.SO I Sponsor you) yet highly respected Angler stating that you can go as low as 30-pound braid for your frogs! Anglers who make a living from sponsors can't say that you may get away with less than 65-Pound braid when throwing a frog in ANY condition. THANK YOU BamaBass! The Yellowfin Tuna fishermen laugh at Largemouth Bass Anglers' using upward of 30 pound braid for a fish so incredibly smaller -- And Rightly so. The structure is very different, and so is the fish, but not over #30, braid, ans definitely not #65! We have no excuses, nor do the Calico guys.
Man I’ve been fishing largemouth for 31 years...usually a spinner, swimbait or chatter bait guy, but here lately frogging is my new obsession. Appreciate the good advice, it’s come in handy.
A jig or spinnerbait fall technique video would be helpful
Also great video!
Great video. Thanks for sharing your setups and when and how to use them.
Keep the tips coming please. as a new bass fisherman these tips are very welcomed
My frogging setup is a Shimano Citica with #50 braid, and my rod is a dobyns fury 7ft heavy. And living in Florida I'm able to frog fish year round!
loved the footage.. never thought a bass will hit a frog reeling in at that speed... awesome. ive learned something
One of the most informative vids on TH-cam. Thanks. A similar video on jig fishing would be great. And all the different types of jigs.
I love your channel. These 'tips and techniques' videos are great for consolidating information on a particular topic. Thanks!
i started frog fishing last fall for pretty much the first time (i sometimes used frogs before that but rarely). sprinker frogs and bigfoot scum frogs are just my favorite thing ever. the bigfoot frog is like those ribbit ones, but a hollow body frog. i've caught SO MANY BASS pullin' these things steadily across water/pond gunk/pads/etc. i've also missed SO MANY BASS, too. this year i switched to a 7 foot medium heavy rod and instead of catching 1 out of 5 "catchable" bites, i'm catching 3 out of 5 on bad days. with that kind of frog they just miss it or don't get a good hit on it a lot of times. i do live in ohio, so we aren't getting massive down-south-size-bass, so i'm sure that contributes to it too. but...yeah. frog fishin' is just the best. i know i'd catch more if i used my 2nd pole for things other than frogs, BUT I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO DO IT.
Great video. thanks for showing us the ways of frog fishing Guntersville
it's amazing how few people like to bounce baits from limbs. it's my favorite way to get fish to bite. I have found that if a fish is anywhere in the neighborhood, it can't help but strike. cool to see other people use it too.
PERFECT timing! I just bought some Stanley ribbit frogs today and you uploaded this right before I buy the booyah pad crasher frog on Tuesday. now I'll know how to actually use the darn thing 😂
+Jeremiah Giles Good deal!
A tip from a magician, we do this to make 'invisible' thread less visible, and it works on braid. Take a black sharpie and color 1/2" lengths of the braid from the lure about 1-2' up the line about 1/2-1" apart. It breaks up the line's visibility. Some fishermen color a solid section of line, but I find dashing the color gets more bites.
It's an old magician's trick, and ime it's gotten me a lot more hits on topwater in open water with braid.
The North Florida Angler to be specific 👍🏻😀 here on you tube, hope you enjoy like I enjoy all your videos,thank ya Bama!!
I like your videos. I, personally, haven't ever had good luck using mono on a baitcasting reel. Braid w/mono backing is always used on my frog rod that is 7'6" by Dobyn's Rods. I use about 30lbs braid.
I think a video on cold water fishing would be really cool. Like what you find most effective in late fall/winter/early spring
I am fishing our pond. Not a seasoned fisherwoman, but I do love it~ THANKS for the tips. very helpful
My 9 year old son just tied on his first frog (popper) earlier today and his first cast... BOOM!! reaction bite as soon as hit the water, missed of course, second cast different spot all together, whack another blow up, missed it too... He had several other blow ups periodically, He's now officially hooked to frog fishing!
he is so right about the surprise factor you just never know when a lunker is going to burst out of the water I've lost many big bass just because I wasn't ready to set hook
I LOVE this type of video! people wanna see what and how you catch such monster bass so consistently!
Really liking this style video! Please do more in depth videos on seasonal patterns and techniques
+TheFishinAddict Thanks for the input, I sure will.
Great work. Having fun with frogs in Indiana....Son addicted!
great video,couldnt have been explained better..i thought i was the only person that hung my baits over limbs like that to get those strikes!!! awesome footage man,keep doing what you do!
Thanks for the froggin tips, gonna use a few of them tonight. Had a young large mouth bass absolutely CRUSH a hard body frog popper bait. Only problem I ran into was trying to fish it through heavy cover. Smh.......got a lunker hunt to go back and try again.
Thank you for the tips
I am a beginner and these facts will surely help me when I am frog fishing :)
Great stuff Russ! Frogs rock! Love the new format, like to see your tips and techniques on fall crankbait fishing! Thanks again and as always great clip!
Mono or braid is all about preference. I personally fish all my hollow body frogs with 50lb power pro braid and I've caught bass anywhere from open water to the thick stuff. Great Video BamaBass and don't forget the black marker!
I've been told 50 is too light and 65 is the minimum for this type of fishing. I already have 50 on my reel, but do you ever end up having issues where 65 would be better?
I personally have never had a problem with 50lb braid. The only times that my braid would break is if I wrapped it around a log or thick branch multiple times, and I doubt 65lb braid could save anyone from that situation. I'd say give that 50lb braid a try and see how it works for you. If it doesn't fulfill your fishing needs, swap that stuff out and upgrade. Whatever you decide to do will only benefit you in making your own preference. Good luck and rip some lips!
Great stuff! I suppose if I can catch a shark on 80# braid, 50# should be more than enough for bass
How to videos and tips and tricks are always the best type of vids
Now that's what I' talking about!!! Super video with lots of specifics. You are my hero! With winter just around the corner, how about an instructional video on using your electronics when fishing flutter spoons, Alabama rig, or drop shot?Fred Fishbite Fishwell, Sr.
+Whit Whitfield Thanks Fred Fishbite! I should have some humminbird tips in my next couple of videos from some deep fish I caught on my last few trips.
I would like to know more about fishing with frogs and all the techniques on how to use them in the summer thanks... and keeps dose video vlogs coming
Awesome video bamabass! I'm new to frogs all together and this how-to just helped me build confidence in my frog lures
I was frog fishing Sunday in water that was 46 degrees. Frog bite still going strong here not a lot of hook ups. They seemed to just want to grab the legs and pull it under. Still fun and did get a few fish in the boat.
Another awesome video Bamabass. I learned how to frog fish from your videos. I'm sure I work for all of us when o say thanks for an instructional video. You should definitely continue doing these. I'm sure there's a lot more we can learn from you. Keep up all the good work and ROLL TIDE!
+Rane Blanco Thanks Rane, happy to hear your feedback. Roll Tide!
One time when fishing from a Boat, I saw what looked like a giant ceramic frog (Lawn decorative type) 5' up a steep bank. I fired a cast at it with a Rapala, to point it out to my friend. I almost hit it and when I yanked the lure back towards the water, it snagged the frogs foot. The thing jumped in and splashed like a bowling ball. Drag was pumping off my spinning reel. I got it in and it was a 4-5# BullFrog. It was massive! It took two hands to grab it's back and the legs were 18" long. It was like holding a baby. When we were leaving, we set it on the ground. It jumped 10' then crashed brutally in the dirt, 3 times, before finally hitting the water. That frog and a 5# Bluegill, are the only times I've considered having something mounted. I regret not doing so now.
All great tips and baits. esp. about getting the slack out. It gives just enough time for that fish to turn and start heading away . This works for all types of fish that take top water baits (esp those big muskies) .
+billfromelma Thanks Bill
Thanks for the tips. Cant wait until spring to put them to good use.
Great video! I've fished topwater for a while but here recently, I've been fishing more frogs. Still have lots to learn but I'm having a blast. Keep up the good work and great videos.
+The History Saver Thanks! Frog fishing is the best in my opinion.
Thank you so much. I cant tell you how many fish ive missed from not setting the hook right. Awesome video!
New to frog fishing. Thanks for the great tips
Definitely tips and tricks !!! I recently caught my first few bass ever and I'm a little addicted. Used a rattle trap on the first few and a frog on just one. Technique I'm sure needs to improve before they bite the frog more. Love your videos !!!
+Tiffany Hart Thanks Tiffany
I'm over here at West Point Lake Georgia and oh how I love top water action! I've always wanted to get into frog fishing but has been kind of hap hazard thus far. I very much appreciate the very specific equipment and seasonal techniques that you shared! Excellent! Gives me some great info to get started off on the right foot! Come on spring time weather! 8)
+Kmacnm Thanks and happy to hear you enjoyed it.
I found that working the frog with the the rod tip up helps with setting the hook too early because you have to reel down and hesitate before you set the hook
I fully agree with you on your line size 15 or 17 lb mono is plenty strong enough for frog fishing even in thick cover. All these pro's brain wash everyone into thinking you need expensive braid but it's just product pushing.
I've tried everything from braid to mono anything under 60lb will rather snap on the hook set or snap stretch to much if its mono or fluorocarbon that's why I stick with 80 lb braid
Pulled plenty of hawgs out of giant lily pad beds with 17lb trilene. I'm talking 2 foot wide with stems thicker than a cue stick. Pulled em out of slop so thick you can almost walk across.
Excellent video, full of much needed information. I went frog fishing first time 10/2015. Had a blast. I will definitely be using this video for help.Thanks!!
+Dave Brown Thanks Dave and good luck
great tips I have been missing hook sets I'm going to try some of your tips great video
Thanks for the education. Really appreciated the tips. Still working on catching my 1st top water fish. Would be a blast if it's a bass on a frog.
love the color scheme in your house
Nobody makes a better frog video than +Bamabass!
+Kyle Bumgardner Thanks Kyle!
definitely awesome advice! good video and would love to see more. i will back your claim on the most important thing is getting rid of the slack...when i started doing that, my hookup ratio went from 60% to 95%. great advice
+troubledsoul79 Thanks, and it will definitely help the hookup ratio.
Another great video man and you definitely have some of the best blowups frog fishing on youtube. Some truly great footage you have recorded!! But for more open water frog fishing, what type of action do you prefer with your frog rod?? Do you like the extra fast stiff tip or just a fast action tip?? Thanks alot for your input
Yes! Glad I saw this video I been having some issues setting the hook.
I like the how video to learn new techniques and equipment to use. Keep them coming.
yesterday after the rain I went frog fishing and caught a 6.7 pound bass ..I threw it over a branch.great video
Nice, now consider yourself a toad dangler!
you and Johnny Jenkins are my favorite frog TH-camrs i love watching big blowups
Very helpful. I've seen your dangling technique in previous videos and have tried it but haven't got anything yet. Water temp is still in the 60's here in Florida so frog fishing is still working. Thanks for the tips though!
I love your videos. I'm addicted to fishing but not very knowledgeable yet so you help out alot!!
Great informative videos! Thanks for the detailed instruction and presentations.
LOL!!! And I thought that I was the only one with a frog fetish! I caught the biggest bass of my life, an 8-pounder (it would have easily gone 10, but it was in a tiny pond with very little forage... it was a little skinny) with a white Sumo Frog. Believe it or not, I used an ultralight rod/spinning reel combo, spooled with #10 test black braid. I actually caught the same fish on a tiny Rapala Popper a week later on the same rig! YOU CANNOT BREAK BRAID, PERIOD.
Trust me you can break braid it's not that hard. I had the pleasure of taking a trip down to lake okeechobee with a friend and just for kicks tried flipping with 20lb braid. I must have broke off almost every other hook set. It costed me $45 in tungsten weights before i gave up and threw the 65lb back on.
You guys have the best bass fishiing.
Finally nice to get frog tips from the frog master! Great video boss!
+R.j. Hillman Thanks boss!
thanks for the vid it really helped now I know why I missed that 8 pounder in the Gary Yamamoto big bass challenge I next time i will remember this vid and practice this summer till next year.
love this type of video! what season would you say we're heading into now? (Arizona) how about a video on baits relating to that season?
Thanks for the tips!
Best frog video on TH-cam....Thanks for the great tips
Thank you very much I’ll try because I did miss a lot of fish hooks set
great vid for the kids, especially. the rod lengths are very important as well, for beginners. (of course you had to remind me of my favorite dream @ 4:50!) I personally would like to see you do a vid on fishing rip-rap, in the same manner as here. we have a lot of it here, and always do well with numbers, but not size? (primarily smallmouth). thanks, and you have come a LONG WAY, my friend!
+Michigan Mister Thanks, theres a good chance I will be fishing some rip-rap this Fall/Winter so I will try to film a technique video with it.
of course I thank you!
Thanks for the tips. Going to try some frogs next spring and summer.
+Chris Martin Good luck Chris
That's some badass camo you're wearing. I can see right through you to the chair
Great video I think you should do more videos like this because you obviously know a lot about fishing and I found this video very useful
+joel clack Thanks Joel
Lots of great tips, can't wait to try them out
Good Stuff, this is my second year frog fishing and these tips will help out. Thanks
+Jason P (bafishaholic) Thanks Jason
Awesome video I use frogs but always have trouble getting that strike , I’m going to try some of your techniques thanks for the video keep them coming 👍
I've already seen this but I guess a little review before the season will do me well
Really loved this video, I'm getting into frog fishing... actually going tomorrow!! Thanks, Great tips!!
Frogged at my pond earlier in the spring after watching this video, helped a lot! hanging the frog over a tree limb killed it! 2 hogs!
a jig video like this would be awesome
Thanks man! I've not been very successful fishing with frogs but this helped.
+Nathaniel McElroy Glad it helped.
Good Info, thanks for the branch hanging tip. I like that.
Yes I definitely like these videos any technique videos I'll watch
+Robert Grasso Thanks Robert.
Take a black magic marker, color about 1ft of the line starting at the lure, let dry, and fish for the big ones!.
you should do a jig video, this is probably the best how to video at least for frogs that ive come across, id like to see a more for sure
+Jacob Rutledge (TheScottishKnigh75) Thanks Jacob, I'll try to get one out soon.
great stuff. your instructional vids are very well done.
Thanks going to need these tips on lay lake today and tomorrow
tips and tricks always welcomed.
Loved the frog info
Definitely liked this how to vid. Big fan here.
This was excellent video I'm just starting to use frogs now and I think the information you gave will really help thank you very much - new sub
