 Today we're gonna be frog fishing for some giant bass. I hope you guys have been enjoying the content. If you are, please hit the like button on today's video. Subscribe to the channel and drop a comment down below on the videos that you guys wanna see. So we're gonna be going out on this beautiful lake today, only throwing frogs the whole day. And we're gonna see if we can get on some really big fish. I think it's gonna happen. I'm actually with my boy Fletch. What's going on, oh, guys. Today he's actually gonna be fishing with the fly rod. I've never even fly fished before so I'm actually excited to watch you do this. I kinda wanna let you try it with no explanation. At some point in today's video, just give you a shot at it and see how you do. The water's really clear right now and I'm gonna be throwing this little white streamer so I'm hoping these fish are gonna come up and smoke this thing. So we're definitely gonna show a little bit of Fletcher fly fishing today just because I'm interested in it. So that's gonna be a little bit throughout the video and if you guys wanna see the full video it's on his channel, I'll link his channel down below. But yeah, we're gonna go ahead and hop into it. I know you guys love the top water videos. I know you love the frog content. We're gonna see if we can catch us a big one today. So let's go ahead and hop into it. All right, we're going to get started. Got the water on deck, got Fletcher on board. I'm excited. I mean, frog fishing has to be my favorite type of fishing ever. I love doing it. We did a lot of frog fishing, you know, in the last few weeks but I just can't get enough of it guys. I gotta keep on frog fishing. I'm gonna show you guys exactly what frog I'm using and the rigs I'm using but let's go ahead and get out here and see what we can do. So we just got out here, Fletcher's batteries are a little... We're struggling. So this was dead last time I used it. I plugged it in where I leave the boat and my dad's like office and they use the extension cords for other things around there. Apparently I think it got unplugged and plugged into a power tool. Yeah, we're gonna try to get in some of these pockets and kind of get away from all this because then fly fishing, you know, you're not gonna be fly fishing in this. And even with the frog, you know, we're not gonna be frog fishing in this but the goal today is pretty much to get this frog up in a bunch of these trees. I think we're gonna get a bunch of sick blow-ups on this. I think they're really gonna eat it well. It's just a standard little poppin' frog that I'm throwing. It's got a white bottom, green and yellow on the sides. And it's just a standard little old poppin' frog. This is the one I've been killing it on the river. So I'm excited about it. I think they're gonna eat it really good. I got this paired up on my Kicking Their Bass X-Lews bait caster combo right here. If you guys wanna check these out, I got right hand bait caster left hand and also spinning combos. Only on my website, KickingTheirBass.com. You can check out the link in the description box down below. Everybody that supported the brand recently, I really appreciate you all. It means a lot to me. And we've had a lot of great feedback on the combos, which is awesome. And I actually have this frog paired up with 65 pound braid. So, yeah, that's the game plan. Let's go ahead and get back in one of these pockets and see what we can do. I don't think it's really worth casting out here with all this wind hitting the bank. All right, hold speed ahead. When there's the wheel, there's the way. Yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty low in battery. You got enough juice to cut us, that's all right. Straight out here to my right, there's some like off shore structure, it's a bunch of like. Dude, that was a, it's a giant, dude. Holy cow. All shore off, probably just stupid. I mean, a shallow there. It's a biggin' dude. Does that, do you think she's five? Oh yeah. No, no, she's probably four. Of course, the one day. Oh no. Dude, that's a biggin' dude. Of course, the one day I bring the fly rod out and she doesn't bring it to the man. Hey, to break teeth, Fletcher, but the challenge might be over. I'm not gonna start. You're not gonna give me a winner? I don't know, dude, that's a biggin'. I'm hoping we get some bigger ones. Oh, yeah, that's not, we're, I hope we get some bigger ones, but that's a freaking, dude, start off with that. That's a chunk. I probably ate it too, man. I think I'm gonna beat you. That's a good fish. I don't know if she's quite four. She's a high three pounder. I will say when it's mouth was first coming up, that was freaking. Yeah, she came out like swinging that thing. Yeah, she did. So guys, like, while I was talking about skipping this frog under these trees today, but Fletcher with this fly, he was gonna throw over these big culverts out here. I was having to throw the frog in there and get this freaking bad boy to eat it. We're gonna weigh her. All right, guys, we're gonna go, you want a guess, Fletcher? I guess in, I think in one point. One point one? She looks like a, she looks like a, a little three. Yeah, I think a three, seven. I'm saying three, four. Ooh, she's lower than that. Three, three, three, three, one. I was too far off. You weren't too far? She definitely has a body of a four pounder, but she just doesn't, yeah, she just doesn't have that filled-outness, but you know, guys, we just started this video. Catch one on a frog that quick. That's exciting. That's a beautiful one right there. Thank you, baby. Wow. Okay. We got it started. I'm gonna be honest while you're fishing this stuff, I'm just gonna do some weird, weird things. You gotta watch out for your line too. Try one too, like. We'll get, we'll get the rhythm though. I'm afraid it's just super clear right now in this stream right here. Let's get that frog. I'm probably a little harder to make them blood. Trying to get my left hand cast and left hand skipping down in a second. Plus, every time I switch from my boat to this boat, it's a different water level, you know? It's crazy how much, like different it feels. Yeah. Like it's a totally different angle. It's like you're so much closer to the water in this than you are in regular bass boat. And I've had to like learn opposite because you like learn to skip on a bass boat where I learned to skip on something more similar to this. So, trying to skip off my bass boat has been. You're still trying to get it down. Yeah, like when I can make. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness, he came out like a bullet, dude. You had to have been able to see that on the gopher, right? Oh yeah, don't touch the trees. You'll learn that real quick down here. Dude, that fish was like a freaking- There may flies. There it is. Dude, that's a different one. I barely hooked at him too. Look at how they're eating it, clutcher. Gosh. I mean, just in the back of their throat, man. All right, buddy. Oh my gosh. That was another three pounder. Holy cow, look at that. Yeah, we're getting these big ones today, guys, on this frog. He was barely hooked. Dude, if you look at his mouth, you can't even see where I punctured the hooks. I literally get him. That's what I'm saying. I'll lift it up on it. You didn't, I don't even think it had the bar. That's a nice bass, though. I don't think he's bigger than that last one I caught, but that's a freaking, that's a good one, man. Second fish. Cast before, it had one following me off, guys, and that thing just annihilated it. Gotta love that frog bite, man. It's looking good. The two fish I've caught, they freaking ate it. All right. Let's get back in there. That was cool. I'm a good ballsy. Oh my God, dude. I couldn't like torque back. I almost fell out of the boat. Wow. Okay. Yeah, I went ballsy there. That shows you where they are. They're all the way up there. Dude, they're up in that stuff. I casted well over that tree, guys. I was gonna get them all. I was in that shade up there. That was pretty cool. Leak. I mean, what in the world, dude? About to fall out of the boat. Did you hear that blow up? I mean, dude, there. That's crazy he wouldn't come out for that fly. They're cranking that. It is crazy. I mean, don't get me wrong. I was way up in there just a little bit further than you. It tastes like QC, dude. I just go through how important like getting the cast in the right spot can be. Yeah. Especially when they're ambushed. Seriously. Yeah, I clutched with at least two cast in there before I threw that frog. Don't get me wrong. They're cranking this frog, but it's just crazy. Look how they're eating that thing. That's a good fish, too, man. Every fish I've had on this. Oh, that's my favorite type of fish, and it gets me every time. It's a nice little fat guy. And I want y'all's feedback. What is your favorite frog to throw? If you guys had to pick one frog out of any frog on the market to throw, what would it be? I'm curious. And also like your color choices, which I know they're pretty simple. You know, either it goes like a black bottom or a white bottom. I mean, there's all different colors of frogs, but. I mean, dude, you hear that? There's another one behind it. Oh, there's two. Oh, it's just like five. There's five. There's five J. Biggins, right here, Fletcher. Right here, bro. Right here, right here. He's gonna eat it. He's gonna eat it. He's gonna eat it. Come on, eat that fly. He's gonna eat it, Fletcher. Oh my God. How do you not eat it? Bro, I hear him schooling up under these trees, too. I'm just gonna get this fish out. Oh my God. Guys, that was next cast. That was next cast on the frog. What? I thought that was your moment for it, dude. I really did. I know. Dude, there was four fish with this. They were all bigger than this. I know, you guys. They're all. Oh my goodness. He choked the two guys. There had to have been like a little school of bass just roaming down this bank. I think there's another one eating on that bank. There we go. Wow. What a catch. That was crazy to see. I get your heart pumping, guys. You think you can get it up on that bank? I'm gonna try. I do. I think you're gonna get eaten. I know that's a really tight spot. You should be good there. Wow. That's deep. Yep, we're on. Yes. Dude, that's a big one, Fletcher. I saw it disappear. Let's go. Dude, that was a nice one. First big of the day. Oh, there's the divine of the divine. Are they really? Yeah, yeah. I just got hit, too. Dude, there's a lot of fish on here. We just gotta take our time with the fly. We got a really light line. And we got like a three pounder on here. Holy shoot, he's running, brother. I think he's bigger than that. He's really dogging me right now. Holy sh- Bro, I might need your help when we get him up here now. Yeah, yeah. I can't tell if there's something with him or not. God, dude, he's dogging. I was wicked. We found the right little pocket. Yeah, that's a, oh no. There we go. He's a good three pounder. Yeah, he's pushing three. Come on up in here. Yeah, that's fine. He's only in me. Oh, he's fat. You just chunked him. Yeah, he's a three, though. He's not four. Boom! Yes, sir! Dude, that's a chunk. On the fly. Let's freaking go. Nice. That's sweet. Yeah, there's a lot of fish. Yeah, I saw your line go tight. Yeah. Well, I was looking at the fly and it just disappeared. I was like, I took my off of it for like two seconds. I looked back and I was like, where'd it go? And just reeled over and pulled the line up and boom, what about it being? I think we can definitely do better than there. I think Noah probably has the lead still. I'm going to put this one back and let's just put it in there. Got some respectable size to it. Hey, we got to double up. We'll weigh it again. He is a tiny squirt. Out of feeling there's going to be another one under that tree. The wheat's a tiny guy. Smallest one today. Look how dark this fish is, though. Being up in the shade, dude. Mornar canton. It's a pretty golden bass. So there is more with that fish? Oh yeah, there was like five with them, dude. They just came out. They were all bigger than them, too. Really? Every one of them. It's cool to find a little protected cove like this, guys. You know, the wind was whipping out there on the main lake and kind of got tucked in this little pocket, which is great for me and him and y'all. Just the GoPro audio as a whole. And this frog. Our power problem over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the boat problem. All right, Fletcher, will I get a bite if I cast over this tree? And if I do, can I get them over that branch? That looks so juicy. Only one way to find out. I can't believe there wasn't one, right, though. Maybe they were just all under that one bit. So good. Look at that school. I think they're just patrolling the van. Yeah, they're just roaming. You gotta get a little cloudy day today, too. You know, guys, the rule in thumb is, you know, you got these cloudy days, these bass tend to roam a little bit more. You know, you got that sunny day, they're gonna be more positioned under this stuff a little bit better. Just the thought, you know, should do this cloudy today and we did see that whole school of bass just kind of roaming that bang. The last time we fished right here, Fletcher, I lost that big glide bait fish. Oh my gosh. Oh, yeah, he did lose a big one rip back here. Fletcher, get eaten, guys. Fletcher, I ate the berry tea, but I think you have a fish. You what? Oh my God. Yeah, you have a fish. You have 100% of a fish. Look at him running. Oh my goodness. Not it, I got a huge knot in my line. Oh God. Oh! Oh my God. That was sick. Dude, it's the dead. Dude, you gotta kill that bait, bro. Oh my gosh. I can't get this fish any more line than it already has. I think there's another fish behind him, though. Really? Yeah, I think that's all one. I have a huge knot in my line. I'm trying to get it out. Oh my God. Wait, wait, wait. Look! Oh! Oh my gosh! It's a big one! Bro, look at that thing. Bro, you just kissed that frog. That's a five pounder, Fletcher. Come on in here. Narlan's here. Yo. What? OK. You can't beat that. Oh my God. Dude, he's big. Look, there's another one under him, bro. You see that? I got the freaking big, and somehow I got lucky. I'm trying to get over here. Cut one up, big girl. Oh! Oh my goodness. That might be a five, Fletcher. Come on, Fletcher. Oh! Fletcher, bro! Bro, that's a- It's on the fly, and on the frog. Bro, that's a tank right there, actual. That was cool. I got to get a weight on this one, dude. That's a- I don't know. I think that's one, isn't it? Yeah, I don't know if she's five or she's a high four. Guys, let's see what we got. Oh my God. Almost four and a half. 4.39. Oh. She's just a little skinny. She's definitely got the head and the body of a five pounder, though. That is a beast of a bass right there to eat for our guys, almost a five. Can I do the double release? Double? Yeah. Can I release them both? Yeah. All right, Fletcher, we're going to get the juice. All right. Fletcher's going to release. I'm going to release both of these fish. That was sick underwater shot here. Is it recording? Let's go, dude. That was cool. That was sick. That was awesome. I could have gone better. Yeah, dude, I like, look up, man. And you're getting that knot out of your line. And I was like, dude, your line has to be running. I thought you said something because I was not looking at it at all. Dude, I looked at it for probably 15 seconds without saying anything. And I was like, dude, there is a fish on that. And then all of a sudden, like, I threw up there when you were like, I think I saw one behind them. And I saw that small one roll on me. That big one just came up and kissed it, dude. Yeah, just a little. Well, Fletcher, I think one thing you definitely need to be killing that thing, dude. Both your bites have been where that thing is just dead, like, falling. Yeah, that's money. Guys, I hope you're enjoying the video this far. If you are, make sure you hit the like button. It's been a crazy day already. We haven't even been out here too long. And he's got some really cool ones on the fly. I freaking killed them on the FROG. It's been good. I know we can get a bigger one though. We got a four and a half. It's so weird because we went down, so this pocket's been so productive. And we went down the other bank and it was like, the lights out, you know, for the most part. This bank's been a little quiet. We did get the biggest one down this bank, but I don't know. Compared to the other side of the bank, which you guys will find that, you know, while fishing, whether you're fishing a lake or a river, a pond, it doesn't really matter. You can end up finding those areas that pulled in a lot more fish. Or maybe one day, one side of the bank is just a lot better than the other. It's kind of what we're seeing right now with this spot. Like, if this was the same little cubby on the other side of the bank, I think there'd be a fish. It's great. Literally, just waiting on that moment. Getting those things up there too. I mean, I'm like... Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's probably... Like, not even like a little nibble or a follower. I'm getting up on that. I'm gonna be honest though, this is the same side of the bank like that other pocket that they weren't biting. You know what I mean? We might get on this other side behind us and we notice that it's just a complete opposite. You know? It's gonna be a reason. Whether it's the way the sun's hitting the bank or...I don't know. I mean, I'm just... I'm up in the saw. I do like... None of us have pulled like an eight pounder out of here. Finally a bite. I just went off the sound there, dude. I didn't even see him eat it. I was so far up in that. How about I say, man, there's gotta be a fish in here. You notice he bit right when we got to the back. There we go, guys. This is our first fish in a second. He ate that frog pretty good. It's not a big one, but not a bad one. Easy two and a half pounder. He ate that frog up in that tree. We're fishing that frog so productive. I mean, just getting it in every little cracking crevice, everything that you would think, you know, fish would be back in and they just weren't eating it. Finally get back here. We did get one. We're hoping this other side of the bank's gonna produce. There's three or four out there, kid. There's something like that. Oh, man. Goodness. Yeah, that's a nice one. I think it was that big. He ate it like a small one. I think he's four pounds, dude. He ate it right away. Oh, no, you might be a little shy of that. Yeah, he's a little shy of that. It was a nice one, though. Good three pounder. I got him under the jump. There he goes. I'm fine with that. Just a little quicker at least, all right? Sometimes you think it's like a small one and then you see him and you're like, what in the world? You don't expect him to be that big. You just tackle that dang thing. Nice little bass. Now my frog's sinking. Oh, no, I broke my frog. Hey, that's sad. Yeah. See the front of it? I broke it. I brought a black frog, but I'm not. Yeah. Oh! Oh, my God, dude, that's a really big one. I cannot have good pressure on him at all. Oh, there we go, there we go. Yeah, I'm gonna help you land this one. Okay, hold on. That is the best one so far today. For me, I think. He's long, dude. Oh, yeah. You gotta play him easy with these fly lines. I'll get you in that tree. Come on. That's a long bass. I don't know how fat he is, but... God, look how long that fish is. Oh! We got her. Dude, that is such a long fish. That was epic. All right. So, let's take one of Fletcher's Pickle Poppers. I still can't get any of these, bro. I can't find them anywhere. What, the bottom big one? It's been two years since I've been able to bottom it. Striking right now. I figured I'd check them out. But if you guys want to check out the bottom pickles, you guys know this is like the magic frog. This is like probably my favorite frog. Definitely my favorite frog of all time. But the green one is what I really like. We're gonna be throwing the black one today. But if you guys want to get a discount on any of the Striking baits or check out these frogs, you can get them on their website. Striking.com. I'll have the link down below as well. Yeah, we're gonna try out the pickle. This thing gets some big bites. I don't know what it is about it. It might be the silicone. Like the difference between the silicone on a normal frog. You know, you got the straight silicone. And this is like more of a thicker skirt. I don't know, it's really weird. It's interesting. It's a little different, but it's the same concept when it comes to popping it. Oh, look at him going after it, dude. Oh, there you come for it. Look, I'm right under it. Look. Look at him right under it. Nice. That was cool. There aren't many times you can site fish a frog. Or site fish a frog bass. Yeah, like through it. I was like, man, that's a bad cast. You know, I was going to reel it in and you just followed it out. That's a fat one, guys. Look at that. Beautiful bass, though. He's been eating some shad, too, flesh. Golly. He's got some sharp old chomp or something. Look at that one, dude. It's not a bad one, Flesher. That's not bad. Thick guy. That was cool, though. I saw him follow it out, guys. I threw a bad cast. I was like, I'm gonna reel it down. I saw him just start chasing it. His water's so clear. When he got behind it, I kind of just had to keep popping it because it was pretty neat. But what's crazy about that is we fished a lot of this lake. We have not had many bites in the last, what would I say, hour and a half. Two hours. Very, very slow. And I will say we just came back to the pocket we hit at the beginning that we had a lot of luck at. Is that your first cast? It was like my third cast. But instantly, I mean, really, we came back to this pocket. So we're gonna go back through here and, you know, we're throwing something different this time. Black, popping pickle. See if we can get a couple more. I think we're gonna close out today. We might have some rain coming through and this trolling motor battery being dead is just not happening. Just stopped biting a little while ago. But I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you did, please hit the like button. Hit the subscribe button if you guys haven't already.
