Finally caught my first bass on a topwater frog.  I ordered some Zoom horny toads in black a while back in the early spring, I was out at one of my regular spots that is shallow with lily pads and before I was about to head home, it was about 6pm with overcast skies so I decided to rig up a frog and see how they worked.  It took me a few casts while walking around the bank and finally I seen the fish come up and inhale my frog as it was passing by, with its legs spitting water.  I got the fish in with a smile.  It was just a 1 pound fish but seeing the fish hit was all that mattered to me haha.  I tried for another 30 minutes and got another hit that felt better right as I started reeling it back but I didn't hook her lol. 

 

I figured I'd just share my experience today, this was one of my goals for this season and I know a lot of people struggle with new baits at first, let me tell you, catching fish with a new technique can be done! and its awesome when you finally accomplish it!

Awesome job! The best is yet to come.

Frog explosions are tough to beat! Good job. Keep at it!

Awesome! Frogs are the best.

 

 

I was fishing with a friend and a solid body frog is a great lure for a beginner because all they have to do is cast and reel in. I was explaining to her how you you be ready for a fish to pounce on your bait as it comes off of a lily pad. I showed her by casting about 20 feet and reeled my frog toward the boat. As we were watching it a bass came out from under the edge lily pad and smashed the Ragetail Toad from about 3 feet away from the boat. It was awesome and really funny that I was just talking about it and then it happened.

 

It was also one of the only times I've been close enough to see a fish actually come out from under a lily pad to hit a lure. It was really cool.

welcome to the addiction

It's all over now..... LOL!!

Topwater is always great fun! Congrats on you're catch! Have Fun!

It's the best. I just got started frogging recently also and now I don't want to throw anything else. Now try a hollow body

Froggin is the heroin of bass fishing

There is no cure...only treament

Congrats, it only gets better

Congrats! 

Congrats! Frogging is one of my favorite ways to catch a bass.

I went back today and nailed 3 more on the frog and missed another 2... after throwing a t-rig and senko and only catching one fish for like 2 hours, I switched to a frog and was surprised they were hitting it so well. Kinda embarrassed though because I use them on a spinning rod  

Froggin is awesome!!

Sweet
