Williamsport topwater video

[MNfisher]

Headed to Williamsport last week after work with a fishing buddy. We both had gopros going and I put together my first video. It is a lot of fun editing and putting together a video, you will probably see more in the future! We ended up with 9 fish, with 4 being between 18-19" and one 20.5" all on hollow body frogs. Good times. We were amongst several storms. We had to take almost a 2 hour break waiting for the lightning to quit. Total fishing time was about an hour and a half. Pretty good action!

hold Up! I made it to like the 48 second mark and notice you are throwing a frog on spinning tackle........ do we need to have a little talk about the frogs and the bass??? Ok, going back to finish the video.

and another pause, 1:58. Was that mono or fluoro? Someone should tell him about braid. I am willing to hold an intervention. By the way, nice fish at 2:54.

Haha, First of all, it is braid. Second of all, I do normally throw a frog on my baitcaster and MH rod. But with all the trees, I retied on my 7' med action spinning rod. I was able to skip that frog WAY up in those trees. Way further than I could with a baitcaster. It gave me 7 blow ups to my buddies 3 blow ups using a bait caster fishing the edges of the trees. There are rules, but in some circumstances, some need to be broken to give you a better chance. Adapt my friend...adapt. Haha

No leaders needed when frog fishing BRAID! And I understand adapting. I never understood how guys skip docks with bait casters until this year, I can skip a D bomb or frog on a bait caster now without the backlash, although it is easier with a spinning rod. I have a 7' heavy All Pro Cork handle spinning set up for when I need to drop the hammer with spinning tackle, my dad throws a frog on it when he fishes with me............ Don't Judge!

Haha, I can't skip with a baitcaster hardly at all, and if I miss aimed and hit a tree....HUGE KIDS MESS, as we call them. And yeah, frog, I always go straight braid. Don't tell me not to judge, you started all this judging in the first place! Haha

Hey, if I could get my dad to throw a bait caster I would, I am ashamed just being in the boat with him when he fishes a frog on a spinning rod you posted your video for the whole world to watch..... At least my dad fishes 65 pound braid.... no leader! It's always funny watching my dad go from frog fishing with braid to a worm with 12 or 10lb co polymer, I have to remind him that he needs to back the drag off and take it easy because He can't skip them across the water like he can with braid. Mike, If you ever want to come to Murfreesboro and fish my Mini G'ville hit me up. I would love for you to get some GoPro video of these fish.
