Keith makes a great point on popping frogs! I never saw the infatuation with popping frogs. I know they're a good option at times; a mayfly hatch, when bass feed heavily on bluegills, for instance. The fact remains that the trade-off of sound vs. weedlessness is one I'm simply not going to make 95% of the time. That's generally the whole reason I employ a frog; for it's ability to come through ANYTHING without snagging. Good stuff! 🐸
Poppin frogs are for open log areas, stumps, etc. not grass and weeds. I'd rather use a whopper plopper or buzzbait in those situations, but sometimes they just want that darn frog.
Yes, straight braid. Keith was using 50lb, but one could always bump up to 65lb for even heavier applications. You can find the braid here: www.tacklewarehouse.com/Spiderwire_DuraBraid_Braided_Line_Moss_Green/descpage-SWDB.html

Minimum scorable weight will be determined by the MLF Fisheries Management Division. This MLF bass pro tour rules above and MLF Toyota series, MLF tackle warehouse , etc all do biggest 5 fish . The only cumulative weight left is just the MLF team series .
@@slabslayer258 go google the MLF (MLF World Championship) rules. Bassmaster elites and pro circuits are best 5. MLF is an unlimited amount of legal fish in the shotgun round. They have way more rules than Im going to copy and paste. That’s what Keith was talking about here.
10:1 reel.? I guess it’s great for catching dinks but he could barely reel in the fish covered in grass.? Keep riding over those dams bub, it seems to be working for you 😏
A high speed reel is always better for frogs. You are fishing a very limited target zone, you want to be able to cast alot, you also need to be able to reel in the line fast to hook set and lastly retrieve the fish fast to keep it out of muck.

And he is killing it on the Sabine
Awesome lesson, Keith. My frog-box is looking like a line of race-horses at the start-gate!!
Great video! My new favorite fishing channel. Nice explanation of techniques for fishing frogs.
Awesome, glad to have you in our space Patrick? Where do you live and what types of fishing do you do?

Did he jump a wingdam to get back there too? #heyoo #toosoon ??
Yep
What you doing?
Bass: me………just hanging around
Can I ask what type of line you used for this video? To get that distance
65lb braid
If u don’t hear drag and you see them easily tugging fish under 10 pounds more than likely using heavy braid
Was that straight braid? If so what pound test?

It was like that last year where every fish counted
Every fish don’t count in MLF they do the biggest 5
You should go look up major league fishing aka MLF. Then I think you are coming back deleting this comment.
