Soooo today I got to go out this morning, 5:30 am, slight wind.. sun has barely started to come up.. pick up my new cavitrons and booyah buzzbait and start slinging them.. well I had 3 blow ups and 3 fish all pretty good!(idk what it is about buzzbait but they just produce big fish) .. so I keep following the weedline with this random tree sticking out, of course I cast over and BOOM! I thought a shark hit it.. got hooked up but it buried itself in the weeds and lost it... so I keep tossing the buzzbait and what do you know he strikes again! This time no hookup.. I tried for another 15 minutes but nothing. So I keep fishing, it's been about an hour now and I decide to try once more for that fish.. I changed buzzbaita for a different sound and omg! Came flying out of the water a good foot and smashes back in! This time I know she is hooked up good .. after a few minute battle this 4 1/2 pound beauty comes out. 

Nice one! I love top water myself. I'm more of a frog guy but I've been contemplating breaking out the 'ole buzzbait and pop-R  next time out. If they miss ALWAYS throw it right back!

You know I have never had any luck with frogs, I tried frogs the first time this summer and never even had a blow up, I have spros and livetarget , maybe next year. But I do love all topwater

Awesome story and nice catch! Was you using a trailer or trailer hook?

Actually neither, I thought about getting a trailer hook though, I have never used either of them on any kind of topwater. Or spinnerbait.  

 Me Too ~ Nice Bass

Congrats ~

nothing more fun ! congrats on the good day, nice fish!

Congrat it was so exciting wasn't it?

I don't wanna say I love topwater but sure do love to see blow up on top water. I don't fish top water very often just when I start my trip early or I see some top water activities. This past two weeks I lost around 4 fish all come undone with first head shake 2 on R2S bubble walker and 2 on WP110?.

I'm the opposite I usually have very good luck with top water and that surprises me! Loosing a fish with a whopper plopper! Those hooks are so sharp I'm suprised you can even get them out normally 

Nah just a bad luck I guess and my skill is not there yet, beside I de-barb those treble hook recently.

Top water is hard to beat

I was using a black  cavitron 3/8 oz and switched over to a booyah red and back 3/8 with the two holes. 

Good report, thank you for posting it. I agree that topwater fishing is the best and most exiting way to catch a bass or any other species of fish.

Ya, topwater is the shizzle. Nothing beats seeing the wake of a largie traveling in shallow water to beat up a hollow body frog or the toilet bowl flushing sound a smallmouth makes when inhaling a walking bait...:)

Nice going! It really gets you going when that big splash comes!
