Who else has 1 or 2 rods that they fish every lure on?

[@javankesinger6722]

I have 3.

[@isaacvanness2539]

Jake Seymour I have a bait caster And a spinning rod, I wanna get more though..

[@isaacroufs5779]

Jake Seymour I have 1

[@sneersh9107]

I fish everything on one spinning rod with 20 pound braid, never had too much of a problem bringing in an size bass. I personally think that having all these different rods and reels is all hype.

[@isaacroufs5779]

Garry Smithers Same! Only 1 use 25 lb

[@vinayakb5739]

Top water frog manufacturers should focus more on the looks of the underbelly of the frog instead of the back. The fish almost never sees the top(back) of the frog. Great vid by the way!

[@chrisbulaw7270]

+Vinayak B true. The top is to catch the fisherman!

[@vinayakb5739]

+Chris Bulaw yep, I've fallen victim to that many times!

[@codyjennings2324]

Chris Bulaw what happened to youtube name

[@graysonmalitsky5019]

Vinayak B actually, if u go under the water in a pool and look up at something that's floating, u can see the reflection of the top.

[@gustavegiacopelli7974]

Except when peric uses it.

[@elboregojhb]

Number one rule, Make sure your equipment works before going fishing

[@rcarrollmassage]

Awesome instructional video! My son and I are headed out in the early morning for some top water/frog fishing!!

[@andrewmacneil5969]

Most underrated KZbin fisherman out there!!! The googans should induct you to the squad!! Love the vids my man keep it up!!

[@shoeric13guerra85]

Andrew MacNeil Chris is gonna be educated, far ahead of any googan

[@tylerrandall5119]

hope you guys are having fun out there. I'm ready for the Father's day tourney upload

[@TimidHouseCat]

Just what I needed to see before heading out fishing tomorrow morning. Perfect timing Chris.

[@daddyosink4413]

This has got to be the best vid on the subject on KZbin! Thanks!

[@albertdelaurentis6576]

Great video man! Straight to the point

[@MonsterChuck]

Most bass I catch don't live in the ponds. They are usually just visiting a friend and get hungry. I catch them, say what's up, then tell them to have a good day and tell the family I say "hey!" Typically a pretty chill interaction.

[@terrycharles1299]

best fishing vids on KZbin hands down!!

[@Fredo_El_Torpedos]

Hey ! First ever video a see from you and I stop it, not even listen too the ends , you have a new follower my friend, your energies , is so great !!Been fishing since I could walk and to listening advise from you , its calm , your voice steady same level , love it! Continue your great work !!

[@shred5]

I think the 6.3 ratio on my Tatula SV is perfect for fishing frogs. The way I try to fish them is hop them along lilly pads, and have them swim slowly inbetween, so I fish them both moderate fast and slow at the same time. I would imagine like anything else, when the frog slows down, it catches the fish's attention and when it speeds up, the bass strikes...

[@MagikarpCoreyy]

All my rods snapped they were hanging out the window and a big semi truck ran into them

That's the stuff of nightmares

[@tricksnflips8920]

[@IntrepidFisherman]

as long as you set your drag correctly (Very few people do) you can catch very large fish on light line. 30lb braid is what I use and I haul in some very nice fish way over a 5lb bass size. Great bunch of tips on this one. Love the honesty and keeping the goofs in the video. Very cool.

[@caseyshanaberger1645]

Intrepid Fisherman I use 12lb mono for frogging. As long as you're patient you can work fish out of weeds with no issue

[@Jedhaase]

It's just more ideal to use heavy braid. Bass get stuck in the weeds, lilypads, and muck, and it's much easier to pull them out. You also get that extra abrasion resistance, and just more confidence in landing them.

[@A_Mechnaical_Design]

First i need two things.... Goes on to explain 3 things hahah Great vid chris !

[@tylerrandall5119]

stoked for the Father's day video

[@fngrusty42]

Pull reel apart then lube it . Maybe clean first check gears at that time. If worn down take have repaired . Good reels last a long time 2 of mine are 30 years old love them . Great reels

[@outdoorsnga]

thanks for the tips....just bought some frogs and havent even fished them yet....we used to put a popper on a long cane pole with a 3 ft line and drop over behind logs as we canoed down rivers....the action was so fierce at times it would almost make you tip over the canoe. I think froggin is going to be as much fun....thanks and keep up the great vids....also....loved your great lakes fishing....and diving vids. too...How bout some more fly fishing too.....

[@VirtueSignalingRetard]

booyah pad crusher are the best frogs on the market. Cheap'ish, barely take any water, cast far, nice colors (ripoff from livetarget lol but still good) and resistant to breaking.

[@BettBears03]

Do you ever trim up one side of the rubber strands (legs) to "make it easier to walk" ?

[@ohwaiter9416]

I have always used 30 pound braid and I never really expected the day that I broke off my Norries nf60 ($16) frog on a hook set in open water. I don't know what I should use now? I also live in Missouri which is in the Midwest and have cause several fish over 5 and one eight pounder lol

[@eastcoastbassin5575]

50 lb casts great and has never let me down frogging or flipping

[@ChrisKingOutdoors]

You're on a roll Chris! Great video man!

[@garydower7870]

Good job. Tips made a lot of sense. Still waiting for my first frog bite.

[@lancehavilland260]

Great vid, gives a starting point for frog fishing. keep up the knowledge sharing, more more more! Thanks

[@justincraft2364]

I fish heavy grass and lilys in florida and have never need anything more than 30lb braid for a frog. 65lb braid is for offshore saltwater fishing

[@diggerdano6868]

a lot of great tips, thanks Chris

[@danielbriggs3582]

I use 30 pound braid to chris!! I HORSE em in too no problem got a 7 and a 5.25 the other day in some saucy vegetation

[@Michaelb2127]

Awesome video thanks for the tips

[@Hawksfan3986]

Great video Chris! So I'm in the Chicago area, fishing off the grid ponds too and I'm having troubles hooking up on frogs. Not really in open water, but more so when I'm fishing on top or around the thick mats. Every time a bass blows up through the mat, on the edge of the mat or in the open holes, I never hook up. I've tried quite a few things like pausing before the hookset, etc but nothing seems to work. My guess is the line is laying on the mat and cutting into it while I'm working the frog so when the fish takes it, it feels the tension and let's go of the frog before I even feel em. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!!!

[@punchfukker3383]

Hey Chris, a friend hand-me-down'd a beater baitcaster to get familiar with, I'm getting the basics of casting it; what's a 6'0" MH 3/8-3/4oz 10-25lb rated rod ideal/best for? Right now I got it rigged with a 1/4oz worm weight and a T-rigged Big Bite beaver on 12lb Big Game. 90% of the time I bankfish rivers & streams with 95% of what I catch around me here being smallies.

[@drewharris2167]

Great video man, I have a prop frog I’m stoked to go try...

[@Tornadoes67]

Time for a new reel, I THINK you may know a guy or 2 that can help ya with that. Lol

[@grantlee4083]

Thanks so much so helpful!

[@rayzorbladeoutdoors2722]

Hey Chris, nice vid,great tips ! Love that frog bite ! I just watched that vid of you and Jon fishing the roadside canals in Florida, have to ask what did you get into that made your foot swell up ? I've been up and down that road a few times and that's a first.

[@AlamoCityFishing]

If you want to see a super detailed vid on frog fishing check out tactical bassin's recent video. It was really really informative on all different types of frogs. However, it is long. This video is great too though! Keep it up

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

great tips bro. good luck in the tournament

[@brendanc2675]

CHRIS THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE I NEED HELP. I put 30lb braid on my bait caster, however because it is so thin in diameter i have had a lot of casting problems and tons of backlash, i even re spooled it and it happened again. How do you use 30lb? I was thinking of moving up to 50lb to avoid these casting/knot problems. Is this a common issue or am i just an idiot? And yes its not because i do not know how to cast a bait caster, i have been using a bait caster for years. i need help. thanks. PS, YOUR CHANNEL IS THE GOAT

[@gingerbassin203]

Brendan Smith i use 30 pound braid all the time and i have never thought a backlash is the lines fault. It could be the reels fault, the reel is not set correct, you arent casting correct, or you arent picking out all the loops from previous backlashes and that causes you to backlash again. Good luck!

[@TUFoutdoors1]

Thanks for this. Very helpful video

[@icypiff5336]

I have an area real close to my house to fish but it's also an area ppl swim at is there likely to be fish around the lillypads?

[@rumblefishoutdoors9150]

I'm Chris's biggest fan

[@chrisakacanto5756]

Greetz from Germany, friend. Maybe wenn don't have the same fish but we share the same passion :)

[@alonsoborja7299]

big fan man love your videos

[@TheSaneRider]

Know it's a very generic question. But do you prefer more natural colored frogs or say black ones?

[@linwoodavenue4300]

Hey Chris do you have any tips for contacting the owners of private watersheds and requesting permission to fish?

[@clfishing9046]

I love your content, next time your in Cincinnati hit me up I got some good spots

[@gannonhymas4467]

You should really do yourself a favor and replace the reels. Your tips are really good thanks for the videos there great!

[@ryderfishing5414]

Thanks for all the tips I really hope they help but if there from you they will keep up the great content

[@chrisbulaw7270]

[@coleyunger5044]

If any body is looking for a good combo for top waters frogs I recommend the abu Garcia ora winch

[@colegerber5532]

I love 30lb braid for all of my baits.

[@redsballer1904]

The reel you're using at the 10 min mark just needs a new line guide pawl, get the part number and call shimano and they'll send you one.

[@bengoette7018]

i just bought that same frog today lol

[@samuellakes5729]

[@goldarrow2737]

[@keltonzac]

Just a tip from a fan - do the work of finding a good frog pond before making the video there, and use quality equipment. It would make a much better video.

[@bhambassing]

I keep having fish spit the hook what do I do to have it so it doesn't do that

[@jesuslovesyou-mattsmith1502]

Chris, you have big hands.

[@atwelloutdoors9951]

[@nouxiong5783]

Where is this place located at

[@josephpacetti2254]

I have trouble walking a frog what's another way to fish one?

[@chrisbulaw7270]

+Joseph Pacetti slow pops should do the trick!

[@josephpacetti2254]

Chris Bulaw thanks I'll try it

[@sparkone007]

Lol. Good video. Bring better gear. I've been there before too. You milked that reel till it died. On camera. Lol.

[@leejproductions27]

I am confused. Did you family move back ? Did just you take over your old house ? For a story teller you forgot the basic four "W's". How about a return to the past video ??

[@Winterwraith]

everything you need to know, except you didn't talk about casting the frog or walking it. I can see you doing it, but talking it though would have been helpful too.

[@to6992]

No love 😂

[@scottso9755]

Why would you make a vid of your first day of fishing?? 💣 Jk, some good info here.

[@longridge3078]

Didn't know you spoke spanish.

[@johnsemar107]
