We fish the frog the same way! My only problem is when I am not getting bites or seeing any action in the water I get impatient and go with a fast retrieve. With my experience I catch nearly all my big ones on the pause especially when the frog is sitting there for a long time

How come every Walmart has these amazing sales except for the ones in my area!!!!

If the pond is over 10 years old there is definitely a double digit swimming around depending on how big maybe a couple.

Congrats on the fish feels good to hook into a nice one after nothing but dinks

Czar has a head camera he is gonna start bringing out so now all these big fish and hooking alligator stories I post will be documented with proof lol

You should have thrown some top water lures

One morning when you have some time you should come out to the golf course with me and do some fishing it's right off the 95s exit so it's 5 or 10 mins from you

I agree with everything you said Lou 100%! Thanks for the early congrats but anything could happen in the next couple days. This friendly competition makes fishing much more fun for me and when you miss those big ones it stays with you much longer lol. I like seeing what people are catching and how they caught them. This thread brings us all together like our own bass club. That's what we should call it Florida Bass Club part 4. I will post my 5 fish at some point tomorrow, I got some nice ones my pics don't do em justice

Nice top water action is the best fishing! Nice fish

That's a good topic I am interested in finding a cheaper camera similar to the go pro.

Yea you will shut the competition down doing tourney fishing! I can't wait to see the fish we are all posting during the spawn its gonna be crazy.

I have a box in my tackle bag that I throw a few different kinds of plastics in when I am going to be doing a lot of walking. If not I have them in their original packaging in a zipper part of my Abu back pack. Having what I need in a storage box makes it easier and quicker than sorting through a bunch of bags of plastics.

Tomorrow evening we are going to hit up the OPCC for some evening fishing right before nightfall Ill let you know how that goes

Went out this motioning got a bunch of missed too water strikes and managed to land a nice fish between 6 & 7lbs. It slammed my frog after watching it and following it for a good 7 mins. My other buddy managed to pull in a nice one between 3 & 4 and my other buddy caught 2 nice ones at another spot we stopped and fished before we called it a day. Any day I would be frustrated missing a bunch of fish and only getting my hands on one but when that one is a 6 or 7lber I will take it any day

Ha

Me, Czar, and our buddy went out to OPCC at 5:30a and on his first cast our buddy gets a nice 3# on the frogs we use. I had a few misses and landed a nice 6lb 22" right at the shore! I was using a frog and got a wind knot. My frog was probably 20 feet or so from me in the water. I'm trying to get the knot out for a few mins and my foot hits the line and then the frog moves and I see this huge wake inches away from my frog. So at that point I am trying to clear the wind knot as fast as I can. I reel in the slack a little and leave the frog still for another 3 mins while I get the rest of the knot. I think to myself to bounce the frog again so I do and huge ripple again right next to it. I get the knot out and reel about a foot and then the fish slammed my frog and started pulling drag from the shore

Nice fish as usual the coffee is more of a big deal than the fish. Big-O catches em that big regularly but spilling coffee rarely

I was thinking the same thing bout the grass and froggin

What did you catch it on? The bait was probably almost the size of the fish. I caught one that was 7" on a 6" worm

That's a monster! Definitely a game changer

I will be going out in Jacksonville to this golf course/ community that the lakes hold massive fish, lakes are over 40 years old. Starting at 4am

got some nice fish there first one is a fatty!

They could have been chasing bait fish to the top of the water, I find that is often the case when you see them really active but they won't hit top water lures

I just prepared for tomorrow mornings 4a trip. I condensed my backpack so it's lighter because we do a lot of walking

I use to have that problem but I started hooking my lures by the reel so they don't get caught
