Bass fishing has been pretty awesome this year so I figured I'd come out of lurking status to post this report from yesterday. Caught this 20" football on a scum frog, guestimate around 5lbs. Camera phone pic so couldn't get it to fit and doesn't show width but it was a fat mamma. Just an enormous blow up through some serious muck, man that was fun! Got another 4lbr, couple 3's and lost about 4 other fish (as often happens when froggin). Reminded me of some great Florida trips... 6:45pm, super clear water, sun was shining bright. Small boat on a 20ish acre gravel pit pond somewhere in Co ;D
Yeah, little soft plastic floating frogs with a small weight at the base and has some strands hanging down that look like legs. All sorts of frogs work, just have to experiment with colors and sizes. Throw it into the thickest stuff you can find and just hop it along and pause. Wait, hop and pause, wait, then BAMO! Sometimes they blast it through the muck, which is crazy, and sometimes they nail it right when you hop off it into the open holes. Good to use strong braid though, and just know you're going to miss some fish b/c it's tough getting a good hookset through the junk. Doesn't get much more fun really, had some phenominal days in Florida awhile back catching 6-7 pounders on those crazy things...
Allright! I have a huge stiff mooching pole, and braided line, so I think I'll give that a try. Especially since there are so many weeds around the local ponds (and it's only going to get worse)!
Definitely try it out, a couple blow ups and you'll be hooked on the frog too! Best if you can cast into the shoreline just like a frog that might've hopped up on the bank, but if not just go parallel to the bank if you're stuck on the shore. Seen them work at all hours, but they're suprisingly effective in the heat of the day when the sun is glaring and the big fish are grabbing some shade under the thick stuff...
Recently was up DEEP in the mountains fishing with my buddy...We came across a huge group of Colorado River Cutthroat Trout. We of course fished for them but we wanted to see if we could film them too. Luckily they were crowding around a small current provided by a little spring, flowing into...
Went North for a couple days. I got the only trout, a 5.6lb chubby. Roger got the big eye at 5.1 lb. 3 of us caught 130 eyes in 2 days about 15 hours total. Missed / Lost as many if not more. Plastics worked well.
...but I didn't. Metal Militia strikes again!!
After my commenting to Z I would be down for hookers and blow I figured I had better post and let everyone know all I really want to do is catch eyes. Don't want this kind of stuff getting back to my wife or, Jenny for that matter - don't want...
Got another eye tonight and lost a couple. Fished a couple hours!!! Got this dude on a lipless crankbait I found on the shore!!! Can’t wait til the fall. I feel like it’s gonna be money

On Father's Day, Sam and I took my Dad fishing and had an INCREDIBLE DAY!
All 3 of us landed some really nice Trout, river fishing the Colorado River! We got into Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Cutbow Trout...The fish were big and the current was strong so the fights were insane! Sam hooked...
