I had this lure since fall and haven’t caught anything until now. Love the spawn aggression.

Nice photo, Ryan, and welcome to Bass Resource.

FWIW, Ploppers are my best two at a time lure. They're also great for nighttime trolling. I once caught a 19-incher and a 17-incher at the same time on a Plopper. Here is a smaller pair:

 

Nice job @Ryan N! I can't wait until the topwater bite gets going out here.

Wow that’s crazy, I never had a double up.

I troll them way behind my canoe in the dark. I think I've caught five doubles in 2.5 years. You'd think a double would be double the fun, but not really. They don't fight in concert. A single is more fight and more fun.

Ploppers have always worked for me, I do fish less pressured waters than some. A few hundred feet from my house is a river a quarter mile from Boston harbor, last year 640,000 herring were counted making it to the upper lake miles away. There are some big bass and a lot of ocean stripers chase them through the locks up to the concentration by the dam up river.

I troll them way behind my canoe, mostly in the dark. I think I've caught five doubles in 2.5 years. You'd think a double would be double the fun, but not really. They don't fight in concert. A single bass is more fight and more fun. Here are two more doubles. The second one is the 19-incher and 17-incher and the final photo is the same 19-incher in a lip and grip:

@Swamp Girl  I close my eyes and can hear that plopper in the dark.....you stroke your paddle and the plopper goes  "brttttt', you raise your paddle for another stroke and the plopper goes...."      "!

And then, KA-BLOOEY!!!!!!

Exactly, Al! 

I know a lot of anglers around my area that had good luck on ploppers the first season they were out on the market.  After that, not so much.
