How I Catch My First Bass on a Topwater Frog! Beginner Frog Fishing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- I just caught my first bass on a topwater frog! As a beginner at frog fishing, this video is about how I catch it. I try the frog around some grass when I first arrive at the lake. But after about a half hour I change it up to a craw. I manage to catch a bass on the craw but I am not content. I try fishing the frog at a few more locations. After missing a couple of bites, it finally happens. I get my hopes up for a particular spot covered in weeds and slop, and this beginner catches that first fish on a frog! Now I just gotta try the topwater frog again.

This place is amazing, congratulations, good fishing with beautiful fish.
*_Hug!!!_* 👍🎣🐠🐟😉
12 people HAVEN'T caught their first bass on a topwater frog yet.
OFG_FORGED lol as long as you didn’t hit that dislike button I think he isn’t talking about you!
Is it 14 people now ?
20 people now gargle googan nuts
If I could make another suggestion, the majority of my success with a frog had been during the pause. You seem to twitch and reel pretty quickly and consistently. Give it 1-5 twitches and then force yourself to do a hard 5 second count. I throw in a 10 second count sometimes too. You’re doing great!
Oh also when you hear/see the strike lower your rod and reel up the slack, the hammer it. If you don’t give them 2-4 seconds with the frog you will rarely hook up 😉
Congrats on the frog fish!!! 🐸
I do the exact opposite of what you're suggesting and am constantly twitching and reeling, and I swing as soon as I know the fish has it (could be immediately, could be after a couple seconds...it depends on how certain I am the fish has it). I've found that using the frog as a search bait and working it super fast in the thick stuff is a great way to get bit...all the commotion helps the fish accurately locate the frog through the pads or weed mats, and it forces them to react since they don't have time to think about it. I will slow down my retrieve to a twitch twitch pause if I'm casting at a nearby blowup or if a fish missed on the first pass, but I get more bites when I am working the frog hard. If they can hit a buzzbait or whopper plopper (which you can't fish in the weeds), they certainly can hit a fast frog that's moving weeds out of the way without stopping.
I was eating when you hooked up with the frog and Stars and Stripes came on. Had to stand quickly and salute you Sir. Spilled Gatorade into Mac N Cheese. Nice catch.
Hell yeah!!! Wasn't expecting stars and stripes to play... made me laugh so hard!!! Easily my favorite RUclips channel!!!
Thanks Alex!
When the band started playing I lost it!! 🤣
IT HAPPENED! IT FINALLY HAPPENED! We all knew this day would come. Congrats, Alex!!!
WOO! 😄
I loved the music when you hooked up on the frog fish. I literally laughed out loud. Great video my friend.
Congrats on your first frog fish!!!
😎
Hell yea dude! I thought ya clickbaited us when you switched to the craw! That’s good stuff right there!
No clickbait here, this is realistic fishing.
That’s why we watch ya! Frog bites will keep ya wanting more. Love it. Keep at it.
Honestly this gives me a lot more confidence in fishing because when I’m out I remember that I’m not gonna catch one on the first couple casts so the footage of him not catching anything is helping
Major victory sir, Lunkerhunt looks to be a winner so far. Those damn legs, bass cant resist, well played, we all celebrate with you this day, Cheers.
What a day! 😎
Frog in the slop. Size doesn't matter, any frog fish is too fun! Congratulations man!
I saw a video and someone asked what their favorite bass fishing channel was and the first channel that came to mind was Realistic Fishing. You're always keeping it real and that's my favorite part.
Frogging is like Musky Fishing. One thousand cast hundreds of explosions and if your lucky a few fish. Laughed like hell when that music played.
Loved it when the music started playing once you landed the frog bass, nice touch... LOL
Oh yeah! Love the music, lol! That was great! The pressure's off now, too! You've officially caught your frog fish, you can just carry the lure around and celebrate ANY good catch with frog pee!
U probally heard this in the comments..but u gotta use braid.there are plenty well priced braids that dont cost an arm an leg.
Mr. Bass here I come with the topwater frog!!! Thanks for the tips!!
Good luck!
Congratulations Alex! Perseverance paid off. The frog may be a low percentage bait, but even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while. Good work buddy!
Yay for blind hogs 😅
I knew you could do it, and you caught it at the perfect kind of place to cast a frog.
Finally!
The fanfare, music, star swipe...epic video!
Outstanding. Welcome to the frog club. First one is the hardest. Why to keep fighting. Love it. Great job as usual.
Congrats!! I know you would get one, I’ve been sitting back waiting!! Welcome to the FROGGER CLUB!!
AWSOME congratulations I’m still trying to get my first frog fish 🎣
559LILPAW just a few tips for ya. Fish the frog in calm water. Color of the frog also could depend on the time of day/weather. If it’s cloudy, use a dark colored frog/black frog, if it’s sunny, use a natural color. Try and fish the weeds/vegetation on the top of the water. I’ve had a ton of luck fishing in the afternoon as well because the fish are chilling under the vegetation and are using it as shade. Also since you’re going at 5am, try and fish the frog quicker. It’ll allow you to cover water faster and the fish will be in more a feeding mode. Do the opposite in the afternoon (work the frog slower) my biggest tip tho would be to let the frog sit there on the initial drop. What I mean by that is when you cast and the frog hits the water, let the frog sit for about ten seconds. This will make ripples go out and alert any fish nearby and it’ll get the attention of more fish. And for frogs I’d recommend the Booyah pad crasher and kvd sexy frog. Spro frogs are great too but a lil pricey. If you have further questions just wright back. Good luck!
I got my first frog fish about 100 fish ago. Ok thats exaggerated but probably not by too much. Hands down my favorite way to catch bass. Always count one one thousand two one thousand and set the hook. Good luck!
I caught my very first largemouth bass (11", 4.4 lbs) on exactly that lure, fishing the edges (and holes within) the lily pads at 2:00 pm in SW Florida. The Lunker Hunt Frog works amazingly well! It was also the first artificial lure I ever caught ANY fish on. Highly recommended.
*Congratulations RealisticFishing on your 1st frog lure bass catch. 🎣🐸🍻🍺*
Congrats, RF. Frogs obviously work at the right time and place. The visual explosion of the strike is very exciting. Best wishes, Don
Woo hooo congrats on your first frog fish !
congrats dude, sometimes the grind is real
Persistence shows us do not give up! Really cool.
Congratulations on the 🐸! I love top water blow ups! And you are by far my favorite UTuber and the only one that has ever said anything back to me... So thanks and best of luck!
Grats Alex! Perseverance is keeping it realistic.
Thats right 👍
Nice I haven’t even caught a top water fish yet in my life
Dreams come true!
Love the music with the catch.! Congratulations. Love the video and I got a little more confidence just watching. Keep the videos coming Alex.
Good luck!
Only in America! Stars, Stripes and FrogBassin’ Forever -Congrats bro!
LOL, the victory song! Almost stood up and put my hand over my heart. Congrats on the frog bass. Love them blow ups!
Congrats Alex! Welcome to the Frog Slop Nation! Hope that beer went down smoothly. You earned it. :)
Bending the hooks out ever so slightly will help with hookups tremendously
First congrats on 50k subs, second congrats on your 1st ever bass on a frog and lastly I'll be sending you a package sometime this month with retro console, lures and 2 giveaways for 2 very very very lucky subs
edwin padilla can I get a package too?
@@FL_Dolfo You and everyone else will have a chance of winning a whole tackle box worth of stuff, keep an eye out for the video
Hey Alex, glad you were able to finally catch one on the frog. I know this comment is 3 days after the video but I have my best success using frogs when I reel and pause and wait for a few seconds. I have caught lots by mistake by leaving it in the water after reeling.
Awesome! Still haven't gotten a frog fish my self. Your persistence has paid off 🎣👍
Congratulations man first for everything!
It had to happen sometime 👍
NICE! Way to go man, perseverance paid off!! That was great!
Finally got it!
If you really want to catch a bass on a frog, get to where you're fishing about dawn when there's fog on the water. That's true for most top water. That's when I've had my best of luck with topwater. My idea of a frog lure is an Arbogast black broken-back Jitterbug, a big one.
good job two thumbs up!!! I been fishing for 40 yrs. and still haven't caught one yet
Watched most of your videos, Really like your personality. Wish I had a friend like you.
I am just another guy who likes to fish
@@RealisticFishing Me 2.
Nothing better than a top water blow-up. Congratulations on your first frog bass. They say you never forget your first time. Proving once again persistence will eventually rule the day. A very realistic catch.
Whoooo congratulations man getting that frog bass finally. I know you been really trying new suff. Tight lines!!
Awesome man! Nothing like the frog bass! The soundtrack was amazing. Made me laugh. Tight lines my friend !
Congratulations!!! I had a feeling you were going to make it happen. Love the Stars and Stripes after you caught it. Keep the quality videos coming!!!
Well done sir I'm glad you didnt give up. I use a medium heavy rod with a black max reel and 30lb braid. I also open the hooks up a lil bit and trim the legs down. The booyah pad crasher in white is my favorite. 👊👍
I have not caught a bass on a frog yet. I am more into worms and soft plastics.
Me too, but I dont want to stay mediocre forever 😉
Worms/craw baits are more reliable fish catchers, but don't overlook a frog. It is a great tool for heavy cover, and a ton of fun.
Frog tips: stick to shoreline cover pads and grass.
Set the hook straight up and down not to the side it will help your hook ups
And a med heavy pole with some 30-50lb braided line will make sure you can pull them through the muck with confidence❗️ congrats on your catch bud tight lines 🙏🏼
These tip videos are the best man! Keeping it realistic!👍🏻
Congratulations on your first frog fish! Awesome music after the catch! 🎆🧨🎆
The best part of your videos is your persistence if at first, you don't succeed keep trying if anything you are teaching the new generation to have patience and earn what they get. Yet another nice videos thank you for keeping itRealistic.
Yes sir .. stayed with it and got it done . Nice work ..
Congratulations keep on posting these great videos!!
Awesome!!! Congrats Alex! 🏆
There it is!!!!!
Whoop there it is!
Good stuff brother. Glad to see fishing videos on a fishing channel! I have been trying to watch some of those other youtubers,, I'm off it. Super sponsored lit don't even describe it. Wing eating contest, and casting challenges! What the heck? Anyway I'm a fan bro keeping it realistic.
Thanks for watching Brian 👍
I always learn something from your videos. I fish mainly from the bank also. Thank you for what you do 👍🏻
Good for you man. I've yet to catch a fish on the frog so hopefully I change that soon like you did!!
The hardest part is deciding to fish the frog. 😉
@@RealisticFishing That's the truth!!!
Awesome Job!! Glad you caught a Frog Fish!!!! Enjoyed!!
Congratulations Alex! Never give up! :)
Dreams come true
Congrats Alex! On the frog bass!!! Now it’s time to turn that frog into a confidence bait!!
“I want the damn frog fish”, love it!
Congrats on the frog fish!!!!!! For next time try bending the hooks a bit up with pliers so the point of the hook has about 1 to 2 mm gap from the body. Way easer to hook set the fish leading to less strikes without a fish on the bank or in the boat. It improved my hook set rate with frogs by a good 75%
Awesome work and drive to get that frog fish.
Lol if I was fishing with you I'd have been laughing at the frog. Fished a thousand times, saw people use them, saw blowups at them, but I just have no confidence in them. Glad you got one, with the band music, good video.
That was BY FAR the best video I've watched in all of 2019 so far! BWA HA HA HA HA! Thanks for sticking with it, and letting us watch you stick with it, through disappointment AND success. Awesome video, awesome fisherman, awesome lessons, just awesome fun to watch. Can't tell you how much I appreciated everything about this!
Hey Man, I got so excited for you when caught your frog-fish!!!
At 1st I thought it wasn't gonna happen; I was thinking that the frog was a little too big. But you pulled through... way to go buddy.
👍😎👍
Congrats bro, ive never had the courage to throw a frog like that on my trips, i guess ill have to give it a shot
It might take 3 hours to catch one, but its possible! 😅
Love it! Congratulations on the first of hopefully 100s.
Congratulations! I know this has been one you've been waiting for.
Good job catching a couple and congrats on catching your first frog fish
What's up man It's KLG Maryland Fishing TV Did a channel name change . I've gotten some great bass on that Lunker hunt frog brother its a nice one . Congrats on your first Top water frog Bass . Good vid as always . Now just to upgrade the top water bass size on a frog that bite is the best for bass fishing they snatch it so fast and always looks awesome too . Have a wonderful weekend buddy .
Nice frog 🐸 bass!! Music 🎶 had me tripping!! Lol 😆 🤣
Way to go man, I’ve yet to catch a frog fish myself. I love that you put Stars and Stripes in the vid 👍🏼 Merica!
Hell yes. I enjoy frog fishing. Always best to fish the frog on the moss. Enjoyed the video
Gotta put in time/work for frog fish. Glad it finally paid off. You will miss a ton sometimes but every blow up is worth the time spent. Don't get discouraged it's the same for all of us. Welcome to the club man
Nice brother! Glad you finally sore lipped a frog fish! Now I have to get my first frog fish
Hells yeah brutha!......congrats on your 1st frog bass🍻🤙🏼
I have that same lure. One of the legs got torn off from a bass. Great job. Persistence pays off!!
Congratulations!!! Lol I have very little success on top water. I share the pain and frustration
Its a tricky game 😅
Congratulations! Persistence pays off.
That's one of the best 🐸 out in my opinion.moss and grass is were I use it
I will always remember it was a Lunkerhunt 👍
Way to go. Congrats on your first Frog Fish!!! Also congrats on the 50k subs Way to go!!!
Woo! Get em man! I'm headed out in the morning to do a little frog fishin myself! Hope you catch a big one this weekend! Good luck out there! Keep it realistic! 😎
That’s realistic persistence. Good job. Have 2 beers well deserved.
Frog on my brother! Thumbs up.
Hell yeah!! I know you've been working hard trying to get that fish! And thanks for not giving up on it, sounds like you're a 🐸 feeshin fiend now😂
Congratulations on the “Frog Fish”. 👍
FROG FISH!
That’s a well-deserved beer sir. Great job!
Frog fishing is really fun but it will break your heart with the amount of fish you miss! Good fish man
I'm watching this through out the day at work, hopefully catching my own on that same frog, either on break or on the way home. I've broke of a big one years back on a hopper fly , at this pond
Have the exact same frog but just the smaller "pocket' frog version. That thing almost ALWAYS produces for me. Can work it so many different ways too. Slow, Fast, Stop & Go, anything. Nice selection!
Persistence pays off! Congrats!
Awesome job on catching your first frog fish. They are so fun once you get the hang of them. I’m still working on my first “jig” fish. Hopefully soon!
Nice bassin!Congrats on getting a bass with the frog!Good job!
Congrats on your first frog bass! Freaking party!
