I love how I just purchased my first plopper and this video comes on my feed. It’s meant to be 🙏💪🏼
Thanks for leaving in where you get hung up. I am newer back to fishing and sometimes think it's just me. Comforting to see pros still get snagged occasionally. Lost 2 good lures yesterday trying to get close to reeds while bank fishing. Back to the store and gonna get one of these too! Thanks
Go outside and play !! Whenever I snag my lure and loose it, I just tell myself it’s an opportunity to buy more tackle. 😂👍🏻
If you’re not getting hung up, you’re not fishing.
I literally climbed a tree to get my 110 whopper plopper back yesterday 🤣🤣
Search for Bill Dance bloopers🤣
I feel you, I’ve lost 3 good football jigs and a hulla popper 😭 this week!
Caught my first whopper plopper bass on the 110 in bone on a steady constant retrieve
Hi there Gene, went fishing for bass last Sunday for the first time in my life. Saw many of your instructional videos to prepare myself.
I got out of my house today after watching this video last night. It was just a nearby pond. Still, I caught 3 largemouth on a Popper and had about as much fun as I've had in a long time doing anything. I'll never be a hardcore fisherman, but wanted to come back and thank you. You have a new sub and I bet I'm back out again this weekend. Cheers!
Just caught my first whopper plopper bass ever today! I caught 3 Including a 5 pounder! 🎣 Thanks for the tips Gene! 🤘🏻
Did you put a weight on the line , or just the lure?
@@601rudeboy Just the lure 🎣👍🏼
You are the man. I’m pretty new the bass fishing and your Videos are saving me time and money learning how to catch bass. Just got a 5 pound bass on a whopper plopper earlier tonight. My personal best to date
Thank you for doing this! Bought my first Whopper Plopper last month and I’m struggling with it. Great tips as always. Can’t wait to try them!
Flukemaster, you’re literally the best man. Keep it up and keep inspiring.
Dillon Hand Cornell with RUclips Fishing Vids is better IMO
@@9009matorres then why are you here?
He certainly wears the right hat
First ever cast with one of these, caught a 6lb monster
First time fishing a whopper plopper today and my 5th or 6th bass that I landed was a solid 6-7. Very fun bait to fish
I've had great success using the whopper plopper. When it hits the water I usually give it a quick couple of Jerks to mimic a bait fish in distress. Plus it distracts from the bait hitting the water if they're spooky. Then I finish with a steady retrieve. Thanks for the video. :)
Your dead on about the sound. The 130 size makes a sound different than all the others. It's always my go to. Great job brother.
I love the Whopper Plopper. I bought one a few months ago knowing nothing about it and it’s very quickly become my go-to top water bait.
Same
Just went fishing for a little bit on Sunday for the first time since I was a kid. Just want to practice throwing my line to get the hang of it some as I keep studying your videos. I've went back and watch so many of your videos. Keep them coming. Appreciate ya.
Hey Gene. Great video as always. The Whopper Plopper is a confidence bait of mine and there are times when it just kills it. My best colors are the Loon(black) and Bluegill pattern. I took this past Friday off and fished because the solar lunar tables were going to be very high. I caught 25 largemouth, one sunfish and one yellow perch. The bluegill pattern was the only thing I used all day and it is a pretty high pressure lake. My first time there. I fished the 90 or 110. Most of the time the key speed for me is when it leaves a perfect trail, of round bubbles behind it. On one occasion they wanted it stopped and started and I caught 9 in an hour on the Loon and had to go to work. I fish it on straight braid and no drag but I will be putting a little drag on next time. Lost one Friday that might have been bigger and with no drag may have ripped the hook out swimming away from me.
Also I heard that tip from you and Chad before about throwing as close to the bank as possible and it is so true. My best hits are usually when I’ve thrown almost all the way on shore and start reeling off and it gets slammed. Thanks for helping me learn how to fish. I have pics if there was a way to post them.
Got my hands on a new 75 and they beat the heck out of it but still a big fan of the 110 and 130. I use a 7'3" MH/MF tip and 20lb. mono and a 7.3:1 lews superduty reel. These are more fun and productive than a buzzbait. Keep the good videos coming Gene!
Most productive top water bait I’ve used to date
I REALLY appreciate you and your way of teaching me how to tune up my fishing. Thank you!!!!
I've only landed pike, muskies, and one 11lb hybrid striper with the 190. Ned, Neko, stickbait is my favorite follow ups after a follower or short striker on the whopper plopper
Man, you have had consistently excellent material for years. Thanks so much!
Glad you think so!
I'm a drummer and bass player so I get what you mean. Everyone has a natural rhythm. Good stuff sir.
Excellent details regarding rod and reels that will work and not work; best group of colors to have. thank-you for this video.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been throwing the 90 on the gx2 ugly stik, 6 ft rod, medium, 8 lb braid, Lots of success.
I fish the 90 on a MH fast with no problems. Just reel into them to set the hook, and you won’t have issues with them coming off. Same with crankbaits really. Just need to be mindful of your hookset and a fast action is fine. Just wanted to put that out there for the other bank beaters that don’t want to lug around a crankbait specific rod.
I love it when they are biting the plopper. They hit it harder than any other topwater bait I've thrown. And alot of times I'll hook them with one hook in top lip and the other in the bottom lip. And around pressured fish they'll hit It on a pause. I tie feathers on the back to match the bait to.
They just announced the new Whopper plopper 75 at icast which is a lot more broad and actually moves more water than the 90
I love that you wrapped it in that tree! I thought I was the only one. I do it far too often!!
Caught a red eye today. First time using a baitcaster and a whopper popper. (90, bone). Sounds nice on the water.
I have a medium heavy fenwick HMG and have no problem throwing the 90 on it. I even have thrown it on a 7'3" heavy fast scheels ebisu (the white rod) that i use for frogs and flipping, with no problem. However, my favorite rod to throw it and my chattbaits on is a 6'9" medium heavy fast scheels ebisu pro that has a softer tip.
I got a Whopper Plopper 90 in the bone color a few weeks ago. Tried it for the first time with fluorocarbon and worked completely fine.
Great audio. My girlfriend just gave me headphones so she could watch the news and I was surprised by the clarity of your commentary. Thank you for your insight concerning the Whopper Plopper.
Our small mouth here in New York smash the 130 black loon, awesome blow ups, My go to is the 130 perch for huge bass, I just started throwing the new 90 black loon has two ploppers very cool if one gets weeds in it the other front one still plops no big blow ups on it yet though, I use these to find the fish then after I find them I’ll toss a senko or jig to follow up and pick those bad boys up. Thanks for the vid, awesome.
Great video, really helped me learn how to properly use my whopper plopper, can’t wait to use it for my fishing trip soon
The fishing piers in my area in MN are garbage. Some days I don't know if I should even try. I need a kayak or canoe to get out a ways on the water. Just don't have the money for it. Always a good video though, and I know the fish aren't always jumping in. Keep spreading the good word.
I bought a challenger k2 inflatable for 90 dollars and it was the best investment in my fishing arsenal. And yes I've run it over rocks and stumps and even grazed a few bridge pylons. It's tough and portable and puts you in places you normally can't get to.
The 190 Whopper Plopper is being used in Europe to catch Wels Catfish, there are some videos on RUclips showing this, the takes in clear water are spectacular with some of the Cats over 50lbs, being a lure angler for fifty years I don't think it can get any more exciting than seeing a big Wels Catfish chasing a Whopper Plopper before it disappears in its mouth. Tight lines from England.
Whopper plopper video while wearing a spro frog shirt. Love it. 😆
absolutely killed it on the plopper today. The fish were running shad all up the banks, I would just watch for a swell and toss in the general area and caught one almost every time. Caught double digits all 2-3 pounders. I was throwing senko weightless all the time but would grab this when i saw them running bait fish.
Love your videos man. God bless and GO Dawgs!
110! Was the Perfect Hit for me. Got My First Small Mouth and Largemouth! Great Products!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who gets caught in trees lol
At a local creek there's easy 100 dollars worth of lures stuck in a tree. I'm half tempted to get a ladder and make bank 😂😂😂
Kevin Harvey do it. New lures are the best. Plus the hooks won’t be rusty
Let me share my day of fishing last week.
First cast into a tree.
Snap tip of rod trying to get out of tree.
Catch no bass.
Get rod in kayak rod holder stuck going under tree, flip sit in kayak.
Next day, buy proper fishing kayak.
Tree bass are the easiest fish to hook but hardest to land.
Lol it happens
I am gonna get this and fish at a lake that is known for giant bass consistently. Does it work well on a spinning setup?
My whopper plopped kinda swims a little tilted does that affect the way the fish bite any suggestions thanks
Absolutely loved your video and you. Great presentation and I'm glad I'm not the only one that taps the trees! PS I've been using your logo or similar for 40 years, it made me smile. Cheers
Thanks for another great video - and for showing you also get stuck in trees.
Good stuff Gene, Whopper Plopper 90 chartreuse or white really kick butt for smallmouth on stained rivers. They are my new favorite top water bait.
Great advice about correct speeds. Been using them for a year or two w/o any luck.
You teach me new stuff almost every video. That gives me something new that I can teach my sons. Just keep passing on the knowledge and I'll do the same!
I’m going to have to check the whopper plopper out next year, can’t come soon enough! Seen them in the store, glad I saw this video, thanks!
I've caught the most at a particular lake, fishing it (90loon)really slow. I'm bank fishing, usually at night. I would have to say the plopper is my favorite bait. I've gotten it stuck on trees, and drain pipe, cost just enough for me to want to retrieve it! Thanks for the tips.
I went fishing with my buddy he caught four 5 pounders on a whopper plopper back to back to back to back. Great video flukemaster.
Guessing some unpressured private pond?
Can a Whopper plopper be used on deepish water, or is it mainly a topwater lure?
The black one (the loon) has been my most productive on the rivers of Central IN when it comes to the smallies.
This is definitely a fun lure! I have not used the largest one yet. I would try it while Striper fishing. I bet they would kill it!!
Hi there, Great video! I love the whopper plopper .. super fun to fish! I love the 90... have caught a ton of fish on the 90s.
90 is my bread n butter
One way I use them some times that I never see people doing is working it similar to a popper small jerks, then a consistent pull, pause, few pops, take off again
Cool video ive been thinking about trying it out
What is the best time of the year for fishing a Whopper Plopper? Water temp? Thanks Gene!
Spring through fall
Took a wooper plopper out of the package and caught a huge Chain Pickerel on my first cast! Never caught another fish on it, but I have so much tackle I don’t use it much. Need to get it out this spring during shad spawn.
Good stuff man. I live in North Georgia and our go to bait is the bone colored topwater chugger. I may have to try these out sometime. Thanks!
You forget to mention that some rod companies only make rods that go up to one ounce in the heavy actions the medium heavy actions are usually rated up to 3/4 oz so it depends on the brand of rod as well because you’re not going to throw a whopper plopper 110 or 130 on a G Loomis GLX medium heavy mbr or jig rod
I fish the 90 almost every time I fish and almost every time I fish it I catch fish. I've never fished the bigger ones in any size so I can't speak on them I don't get big hogs every time I fish but I always catch fish. To me a constant speed to me is when it gets loud that's when I know to not speed it up or slow it down.
Thank you for this video just got one today. Love your videos.
Oh man! that looks like the perfect day for fishing, Nice and overcast, clouds covering the sky, no sun, I wish we had more of those days over here in Michigan, I absolutely refuse to go out on the boat when it's not overcast like that (Maybe that means i'm not a *true* Fisherman fanatic) Lol, better than getting baked in the sun in mid 90s temps, its been sooo brutal here with the heat and the sun. I was out on the boat few weeks ago, it was nice an over cast in the morning and the sun came out at 2PM, I decided to head to the boat ramp and go home, then my trolling motor wouldn't come up (batteries died!) and No way of getting it back up out of the water, i was in the sun for an hour or over trying to figure out what to do, So i had no other choice but to take trolling motor off the mount and lay it in the boat so i could get my boat on the trailer, Minn Kota should have a new Ulterra model where you can pull it up by hand for in case battery dies in middle of a fishing day, rather than being only Automatic deployment. Lol i Know very off topic, wanted to share an experience
I bought a whopper plooper after seeing all the vids and the marketing hype behind them. I haven't caught a darn thing with mine, and it's not like I haven't tried. I've owned my store bought whopper plopper for going on two years now. I even bought a second plopper of a different color hoping that it was the color of the first one that the fish didn't like. I still had no luck with that second plopper either; regardless of retrieval speed or water color or temperature etc..
I do mainly ultra-light fishing so what I did was I scaled down my whopper plopper in my CAD software and then 3D printed some ultra-light versions of this lure. By ultra-light I mean compared to the Whopper Plopper 75 (the smallest they make) my 3D printed versions are even smaller and lighter still; with the same plopping action and sound but in a higher pitch.
First time out on the water with my home made 3D printed Micro-Ploppers I was catching fish. I try fishing with the store bought whopper plopper each time I'm out on the water and each time, I get no love from the local large mouth bass. It kind of did my heart good watching you not catch anything on your whopper plopper either. No way I'm saying they aren't darn good lures. I'm saying I've not caught a darn thing with either of my whopper ploppers; yet.
I understand. I hated the hype so I didn’t get one for nearly two years.
Classic fluke. Best teacher in the world
I do well on whopper ploppers but my go to top water is an OG Rattlin Spook.
Today was the second time I used this. First time no hits. Today, a 5 pound bass and a bunch of mediums haha
The whopper plopper is the easiest lurer to fish with you should make a video of the best conditions when and where to use it
I've been using them the last 4 trips and in that time I've caught more bass since than I ever have up to 12 in 4 two hour trips best lure I ever used
Nice tree bass!. I've got a few of those.
Ready for the 75 but the 110 is the best
For some reason it will tilt or flip over when there is no seaweed or anything on it. Maybe it is suppose to have a tilt but definitely not the flipping
Thank you very much for showing this....I have yet to catch a fish on my whopper plopper all other videos I saw was to do a slow and stop retrieve like a frog but I'm definitely going to try your technique of a steady retrieve once you hear the bubbling sound!
Jersey Joel Fishing I run mine at the speed it will leave nice round bubbles behind it and that seems to be a key for me when it’s really on.
Rick Silsby thanks Rick I am going to try that next time I am out!
Jersey Joel Fishing if you want to make your plopper louder....Roll the tail between your forefinger and thumb to where it's almost the shape of a U. Don't worry, it'll bounce back to it's normal shape after 3 or 4 casts, but it's a good tool to feel out if the fish want it louder that day.
Give em hell.
Cody Roberts thanks for the tip I will definitely try that!!
Nice video! What kind of leader would you use if there are pike in the water? Wire?
Yup!! Big fish!! 5 pounders on my P90 during shad spawns.
Finally I learn how to fish the $14 lure that's been sitting in my tackle box collecting dust
Works best at night in the shallows. Try it👌
Great information
when the plopper gets old, the barrel swivel on the front is a must have
Gene man great videos. I have gained lots of knowledge from watching your videos and that in turn helped me catch more bass thanks man. Have you ever fished in Canada? If so where?
Very solid information. Thanks for sharing!!
Just caught a few Smallies this weekend on the 90...first time this year...Bone coloration
One thing I am sure glad I focused on is accuracy. I cannot tell you how many times I would get hung up on something due to inaccuracies. Now I am not afraid to throw an expensive lure near or under trees.
FLUKE, I am going surf fishing when it gets warmer. I will be using a tica UGSA80M2S lure rating 1/2 oz to 2oz. medium power / fast action. paired with a penn fierce 4000. with 15 LB braid. I just bought a whopper plopper 130 (1.3/8 oz). my question to you is, is this a good combination. will it produce? I will be going around April/May and I will be aiming for striped bass and blue fish.
Hey Flukemaster! I've watched a ton of your videos, which have helped me immensely since I started fishing last year. Today I tried out a topwater lure for the first time, a whopper plopper! I got about 8 bites, 6 hooksets, but landed only 2 fish. One of the fish that got away was my personal best bass, so I'm very sad about that =( I was using 12lb mono and a medium-heavy spinning rod. The fish all came off right as I was about to land them, about 1-2 feet away from the bank. They were very jumpy today which didn't help. Is there any advice you could give me to help me land them next time? I'll never forget the sight of the huge one when it jumped in the air, and my defeat when he got off literally 1 foot away from me.
bro , the same thing happen to me but i never forgotten the zoom craw that got my 1st large mouth to top water bite my Texas Rig
That’s funny because I’m the opposite of you with the 110, I spent many many hours throwing it non stop and I figured when you go slow but just enough that the tail has a good spin but doesn’t kick up water and no sound destroys the bigguns. I’m self employed so just think about the amount of free time I get access to... a good and a bad thing hahah
What size mono do you recommend for a 110 whopper? Just bought my first one and wanted to watch your vid on it before I used it.
my question is do you have to use a bait caster . not good with them keep bird nest
I just posted a 2 part video on the whopper plopper. My son was using g the 90 and I have the 110, both in the perch color. Amazing topwater bites!
Dewey Cash love perch it’s my go to top water lure for open water
Used that today and no bites, but that lake usually isn't good for any topwater. Will try again.
Gene , i bought my 1st whopper plopper tonight to add to my barbie bait collection , as an angler thats new to whopper plopper , my question is this , there a time of year or month to use the whopper plopper??? , meaning that january through march is a good time to use the whopper plopper or would the whopper plopper work great in march through september???
I've never had a fish bite on the start n stop. Steady retrieve like you said gets it done
Gene, great videos!
Quick question, if price is no problem what would be your five top picks for rod and reels?
great vid man.. hope to get together with you some time and catch some bass!!
Just found a dirty little 130 whopper plopper, now gotta learn to use it
i just bought a Gouture 8'4 ft. Rode .. paired it with a pisifin torrent baitcaster 7.1.1 . what braid would be best for casting ? anybody please ???
Actually the way to fish it is to cast it out, then let it sit for 3 secs...then give it a couple small pops, then reel it in. They strike at the point where it hits the water most of the time.
I agree it needs to be fished at a consistent speed. His description of the speed is different from the one I like though: not necessarily where it’s loudest (for me that’s a slower retrieve than I like); I like a retrieve speed that allows the bait to leave a consistent trail of bubbles across the top.
Also, not that he said it, he actually did it in the video, you do not need to set the hook with a plopper. I’ve been fishing it since it came out and have never had to. I’ve also never had issues with hooks or split rings (I have my PB 9 lb 4 oz on the plopper and have caught many big fish). Also, I disagree on the swivel suggestion. I like fishing straight to the line. When you have a swivel, even if the tail doesn’t get caught up, you get the bait turning over on itself a lot and there’s also not a steady anchor for the front of the bait, so the action is off. Line twist is a thing obviously but it’s not that big of an issue if you keep the tail free of grass
Are there any advantages/disadvantages in fishing this on a bait caster? I’ve never used one and don’t have any desire to unless there’s just no way I can fish certain lures on a spinner. I’m new to fishing and notice most of you RUclips fishers use baitcasters when fishing top water lures
Just picked one up and just watched this. I’m pumped
I must be doing it right. Just caught a 9 pounder Friday evening on a Whopper Plopper bank fishing in the lake behind my house.
Powder & Loon are killer 😁 those 2 colors produce alot.
