 Nice one nice fish right there. They're running at me. Get up here boy. He's like 10 pounder. He's stuck on the branch. Dude, look how big he is Cody. You can't tell me that ain't a 10. Dude, how big Cody? Dude, I'm gonna have to help you. Oh my god, Cody's got like freaking 10 pounder. Oh dude, that's a... Dude, come on Cody. Come on Cody. So last week we posted the first top water video of the year and I made a comment And I was like if you guys want to see me go frog fishing for the next top water video Let me know and you guys tore it up because we're hitting the like button So if you guys are new to the channel hit that subscribe button hit the notification bell Also hit the like button on this video if you enjoyed the top water videos if you enjoyed the frog videos And you want to see more but today we're gonna be throwing frogs for some really big bass We filmed the video out at this pond last week and we're back out here again We're gonna see if we can get some really big fish So let's go ahead hop into this video. I'm gonna show you guys exactly what I'm throwing the combo that I'm using The line that I'm using on the reel. We're gonna catch some big ones today. So let's get it So the combo that I'm using is a Mach 2 on a Mach 2 reel I have 65 pound braid you guys are wondering why I have such thick braid on this combo right here It's because when you're fishing a frog More importantly when you're fishing thick vegetation like if I'm fishing really thick pads really thick Vegetation you're gonna want to use some heavy braid on this frog So you wanted to pull that fish out because we're wondering about the rod. This is a 7-3 heavy action If I had to pick I'd probably use a 7-6 heavy for a frog if you're fishing some thick vegetation Today we're fishing mainly some grass. It's not even like lily pads or any like really good vegetation It's just that nasty slop that you have in ponds So we're just gonna walk around and toss this frog cover some water See if we can get some big ones to bite this morning There's a lot of fish pushed up shallow on bed because we're wondering about the frog that we're throwing This is the pad perch by striking you guys know the popping pickle which is the poppin version of this I've caught so many big fish on it. It's like my favorite frog of all time But this is the pad perch doesn't have a poppin live on it So the good thing about this if I had the poppin pickle right now It would get so much of that slop on the mouth of the bait because of how it's shaped in the front This one how it's narrow it's gonna go through that slop good So I think it's gonna get the job done and I really think we can catch a really big one today So let's go ahead and walk down to the pond make some cast see me hook a giant All right, let's get started with this frog see what we can do It's been so long since we filmed a frog video, and I'm pretty sure I'll spot a fish. Oh Yeah Well he eat it Oh, he's boot these fish are so spooky so spooky I'm not even laying near him, and he just Darted off instantly. That was a good fish Hoping they're gonna be able to eat this frog this one. I Just love frog fishing so much If we can get on a frog bite listen Don't be some fun. Oh, there's one coming towards me huge wake Huge wake just came right towards my bait. Come on fish. Oh No, it's gonna knot up No, come on. All right. Gosh. You just like tried to suck it down, but you didn't have it all the way Let's throw back in there. That was a big wake He ate it like a big one would eat it just kind of slurps it right down. Oh I don't know if that's a fish or a turtle, but he just pulled me under He's right under me. What is that? Something huge. I don't know if it's a bass Gosh, it's like boiling right under the frog nice one Nice fish right there. You're running at me Get up here boy No, no No No Does that count? That's heartbreaking honestly, that would have been my first frogfish of the year the frog has to be my favorite bait to throw to Man just came right off Oh, that sucks guys. I really thought We were gonna get on something right there We technically caught him. He was on the bank Just came off as a solid like almost three pounder. It wasn't a bad fish at all And be honest my drag slipped too. I guess I didn't have my drag tighten enough. I just didn't get a good hook into him I had to kind of Run back, you know, we worked this frog all the way down this bank kind of worried me I was like, you know what? I don't know if we're gonna get any bites on this frog and sure enough The one over there ate it. They're not like destroying it though, you know, you can tell they don't really want it But Let's see that was our first bite Let's just keep covering some water and see if we can get another one should be another one down this bank So when we came here the other day, I Think our big problem was there's a lot of fish pushed up shallow. You have this hill we're standing on top of the hill and I Feel like the fish could just see us. So I'm working my way down here There's a lot of snakes out here, too The other day we saw like three or four snakes like copperheads. So gotta be careful But I'm gonna work down this bank like this. I feel like this is our best bet They kind of just they just see you when you're on top of that hill I can't move this. Oh my god, I snagged him and he's huge How did I snag that fish on a frog? Oh my gosh, I thought that was like a 10 pounder the way he was pulling Dude, that's a freaking toad. Oh my He's hyper look at that guys. I hate that. I snagged him. I don't know what how you know how that's possible He's just like rolled on it and look where I got him. I cut him up a little bit. I hate that Not mean to do that, buddy. I'm sorry I Scorched you with the wrong Look at that toad guys to start off the morning looked like a solid three-pounder and then I came over to this bank I was standing all the way on the other side of the street because I didn't want to spook these fish What I was talking about that hill Through in there had this monster roll on it. I happened to hook her in the side, which I hate I don't know how that happened. I guess she just rolled on it, but we caught her. That's like a five pounder Doesn't take start off the day With a fish like that. That's just that's what makes you want to keep bass fishing right there first frog fish of the year officially She is I'm just gonna give her a little toss All right, baby. Thank you so much. Oh, she's aggressive She is aggressive. That's the best feeling in the world get out here early in the morning tossing a frog Oh, man, that's that's what just makes you want to go fishing every day that right there Walking back to the car right now. I got to get some batteries for the GoPro I was just well, I was too excited this morning, you know When when you bring a frog out like if I have one bait that I could just pick and choose like I want to fish and catch Big bass on has to be a frog. I'm a big fan of frog fishing. We like pulled up here. I had to get out quick I didn't grab any of my batteries didn't grab my sunglasses nothing I was like, I got to get the frog fishing while the sun's coming up But uh, we miss that one fish They don't seem to be biting it good that fish didn't even eat it good I didn't really get a good hook set on that first fish in that second one I guess just rolled on it and I happened to snag her. I seriously thought I had an eight to ten pounder right there I thought I had a monster the way she was tugging but I happen to just hook her in the side I hate doing that too. I didn't mean to you know, it looked like she ate it and just I don't know the chances of me hooking one with the frog on the side. It's just weird So we got to play this very strategic that big one that I got to bite it I know I snagged him, but he actually ate it and he didn't see me when we came out here the other day They just spook off so easy. So I'm gonna stand on the other side of this hill There's a really big one over here on bed probably around eight pounds I'm just gonna beam a cast up there. Hope that he eats this frog I just won't want to spook him too much Then I actually have another rod right here just with the Texas rig on it with the rage girl You might need to throw that in after but let's give it a shot Think there's one right here. Yeah, he's right there huge wake gosh He's either going towards me or I spooked him. Oh, oh, he tried to eat it. Oh my gosh He did not like that. That's a big fish to put off a boil like that Whoa, dude, dude, dude, dude, he's literally coming on the bank He's a ten pounder. He's stuck on the branch Dude, look how big he is Cody. You can't tell me that I ain't a ten Do this like a freaking eight pounder eight or ten pounder, and he's oh, I got him dude. That's a ten pounder Can I boat? Look at that dish Dude, that was the craziest thing in my life. Oh my gosh Look at that in his mouth Oh my god Dude, I saw this fish on bed the other day and Cody remember how we were talking on the way here. You said where was he at? I said where the two little limbs poke up. That's him, bro That is him. Look at how he ate it, too This is what we're gonna do. We're not gonna put a number on him. I want you guys to drop a comment down below How big do you think that bass is right there? I want to know y'all's feedback That was the biggest adrenaline rush of my life getting that fish stuck around that tree and still getting them out That's a freaking tank. Oh my gosh All right, guys, I just got a quick picture and we're gonna get this baby right back in the water This is why we came out this morning. This is for a fish like that. That's a giant guys That's a freaking giant. I'm gonna get as close as I can Dude that fish is huge dude. Did you see how when she laid flat how big of a holy cow? Cody, give me some man. That is exactly why we came out here this morning and a catch em on a frog Just makes it so much better. He destroyed it got caught up and we we still landed him. That's insane. Oh my gosh You're trying to get him over that tree Or do I get the fish? Yeah, but I was like, you know what Noah's got this Thank you That was crazy dude like that fish is just gigantic like there are many times you get to catch one that big on a frog He demolished That's a freaking monster. That's my biggest fish this year. Oh Gosh, I can't believe he ate the frog though. I with how they've been eating dude It just didn't seem like they want it, but I stuck it out, dude. I just kept that frog there I didn't really see many wakes And as he ate it dude, I'm telling you it might have been the male that was with them or another big one Is right next to him there's not many times you can you can go out and catch one that big on a frog and That's just crazy My biggest fish this year too and I was talking about at the beginning of the video like if I could catch A fish on anything I would love to catch it on a frog in the fact that Caught I caught the biggest fish this year so far on a frog is just That's rewarding especially on our first frog fishing day. I Didn't really think much about it this morning, but I was like, you know what since we're out here early Let's let's try to get on a frog bite got a bunch of grass and you know these fish are pushed up shallow And I guess we made the right decision So right now I'm just going down this bank There's still more fish on bed over back in this corner that we're going to try to catch There's one that's about seven or eight pounds that we saw the other day And she just would not bite anything and then there's a few five pounders. So I'm just gonna work back in this corner Keep tossing this frog stay far off the bank and I see if we can get another big in the bite Dangling on you like Christmas tree That was a dang good one, dude This fish are right there another good one just Boiled on me really hard. It's like you try to eat it. Just I might need to give them a second make sure they have it That was so cool Like a solid two and a half pounder on that rage menace We saw a fish the other day on that cypress tree This is probably the male, but uh Look at that pretty bass on that menace right there not as big as the ones that we were catching earlier But that's still a good fish. I threw right up on that cypress tree. I knew he was sitting there I didn't want to walk up on him, you know, I wanted to cast off Dangled it from that branch and he ate it like a topwater. I couldn't really see it on the camera, but He ate it good. This is the male. I'm sure there's a female up on that bed. So We'll make sure we make another cast in there There's a few more cypress trees down this bank that I know there's some fish around as well So it's a pretty one right there not a giant, but it's a good bass right there Let's get her back in the water Man, he's got a lot of fishing getting outside enjoying life, you know enjoying nature catching some fish Nothing beats that right here There she goes. She went all the way up under that. Let's go ahead and get back in there try to catch a bigger one There was a one right there Cody. Oh, I got one. Oh Get up here boy Get up here baby Little two pounder dude. You gotta stop You gotta slow down buddy Nice little fish nothing crazy big but that this is a pretty little bass pretty little bass It feels weird, you know, like that's a decent fish right there But when you sit there and you hook into like a five pounder and One that's like over eight pounds, you know, they're still rewarding, but it's not the same feeling Thank you for biting buddy There he goes He was right over there right when I walked up on this bank I saw one move and sure enough flipped over there. He ate it. So this is the menace right here I'm gonna show you guys how I'm rigging it up. It's a pretty big bait like it's big profile And I think it'll be great for bed fishing. I've never used the menace for bed fishing I've put these on like wobble heads and they catch a lot of big fish I've even punched this bait and caught some good ones But um the way that I'm rigging it up, you know, I got a four-ot EWG right here You got your bait. I want the chartreuse side to be facing down So what I'm gonna do penetrate through the top of the bait right there We're gonna break it through on the chartreuse side Push our bait all the way up on the hook and rotate it It's gonna lay flat just like that. See all the chartreuses laying on the bottom green pumpkin on the top Now we're gonna lay our hook here and right at the end of this is where we're gonna penetrate it Just like that and then the trick here, especially with all this like nasty slop Is once you put the hook through the bait, you see you have the point right here You kind of want to bury that boom. So now look, you know, I can't get hooked here And it's not really going to mess up with the hook up ratio the best, you know That's just going to keep all that slop off the point of the hook, which is the main goal there. So That's exactly what we're throwing What are you serious? Dude, how big Cody? Dude, I'm gonna have to help you. Oh my god. Cody's got like a freaking tin down her Oh, dude, that's a Dude, come on, Cody. Come on, Cody. Come on, Cody. All right Let's go Cody's got a freaking monster That ain't a 10 pounder, but that's a freaking solid. What? I don't even know dude. That's What in the world? Good job, dude. I know you've been waiting on that. That's your first fish today, too. Let's go. You got me soaking. Look at I'm soaked I was not gonna let him come off, dude. I wasn't gonna do you like that Look at what Cody just caught Bro, let's go. Cody's been waiting on this for a minute, bro Without time, dude. Yeah, that's a tank, bro. That's my biggest one this year. I've been waiting on something this year just Yeah Man, yeah, that's a that's a tank dude back in the water Let's go We've been waiting on this day, dude for you to get you one. Dang good one We both got us a freaking our biggest fish this year. We both got it today Nice, dude. Give me some Dude, that was so cool. I hit her in the tail with it I've been trying to catch that fish the other day and today Nice guys, we This is the male to like a seven eight pounder, but the the big one like never pulls up She stays around that grass right there. We saw her the other day Finally got you to bite, buddy Hey, that's about a one and a half two pounder Man, that was such a cool bite I threw it up there and I hit her in the tail with it real quick and she just turned on it She's getting aggressive that menace is getting a ton of bites guys.
