Testing the River2Sea Whopper Plopper 75 - (Easy Topwater for Beginners)

[@crashbomber]

Even though most of the fish are little, I am jealous of how productive the lakes you visit are!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I'm top 5 in the world at catching dinks. 🤣 We all gotta be good at something I suppose! Thanks for watching man 👊

[@Goiks]

PERFECT outro! Makes the video feel like a whole day of fishing. Intro gives the idea of what’s going to happen for the video, the dinks get slayed, then an outro to wrap everything up and give a little feed back as to how people in the same situation could improve the bite. Perfect man. Good job!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Haha yes! I'm happy you like that. I'll definitely incorporate those more. Sometimes I'm in a hurry and forget. Appreciate the positive feedback my friend!

[@Goiks]

Any time bud! Keep up the great work!

[@ATOUTDOORS]

aint nothin better than some top water fishin killer footage of the hits man

[@DEBOSFishing]

Agreed! Always gets the blood pumping!

[@chanceofalifetime]

Love the Whopper Plopper 90 caught a lot of fish this summer here in texas. bass,, crappie, bluegill and even catfish with that lure. Bluegill color seems to work best for me.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Absolutely! It's a very fun little bait to throw! Thanks for watching 👊

[@bdaquatics7584]

20K! If ANYONE deserves a milli subs it's you bro. I've been subscribed for about a year maybe and I've learned A TON from you. I'm using braid with a leader now for more sensitivity because of you and it's catching fish💯✊

[@DEBOSFishing]

That means a lot to me man. It's only possible because of folks like you who support my channel 👊👊👊👊👊👊

[@bdaquatics7584]

I was super excited to wake up and fish and now it sounds like a damn tsunami is outside lol it's pouring rain. the river is definitely gonna be stained. Black and blue will be the choice for color

[@davidlee4576]

Great video! I’d take a bite over being home any day. Loved being able to hear the popping from the lure.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I agree 100%. Yeah, it's a cool bait to watch and listen to!

[@yakkensteinfishing]

Ploppers def catch fish. I have a couple in diff colors and sizes. Black and bluegill have been most productive. This is the first year I have had much success with them. Love the feedback after u used them a little. Keep em coming. Dinks or donks - a catch is a catch. I try to take what u did, and learn as much as I can. I KNOW u have helped me catch more fish and up my game! Thanks D and have a great day!

[@DEBOSFishing]

That means a ton to me man. I look at it the same way. If I'm doing something to get bites, I'm doing it right. Can tweak that to try and get bigger bites. Appreciate your support man 👊

[@LeatherNeck1833]

That's exactly why I use a mono leader on my braid top-waters. Great vid Debo!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yep, that little bit of stretch can make all the difference! Thanks for watching 👊

[@LeatherNeck1833]

@@DEBOSFishing Initially I used a mono leader on braid to keep my trebles from getting caught up in the braid and to keep from digging into lay-downs and overhangs; then I heard it was great for acting like a shock absorber for plugs. I even use it on my hollow body frogs and it helps if I happen to be too quick on the hook-set (reflex is a struggle). Appreciate all you do Debo! You don't have to catch huge fish to teach someone something, the dinks need love too. Lol

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@LeatherNeck1833 yeah, mono leaders on poppers and walking baits is great! Thanks man, means a lot that folks like you watch my vids👊

[@rafabonati7757]

I like the left-handed rig from Lew’s that I bought. Since I have used spinning gear my whole life, it just made sense to go lefty with my 1st baitcaster. Just bought a Whopper Plopper 90 in bone, so I can’t wait to try it out. I will use fluorocarbon leader tied to braid however. Thanks for another fun video.

[@catchnothingfishing6457]

Just direct tie it to the braid those ploppers are to expensive to take chances I've already lost 2

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'm a big fan of the ploppers too. I would go with a mono leader though. It floats and should help keep the nose of the plopper up.

[@rafabonati7757]

DEBO'S Fishing Great idea.

[@frankw7266]

I felt the same way about the ploppers until I finally tried them, now I'm an addict. I keep 9 different ones in the box at all times... Loon, Bone, and Blue Blood in 75, 90, & 110. I mainly use the 75's river fishing for smallies, and the 110's for largemouth. If I'm not getting hit on the 110's, I'll drop down to the 90's. Where I love them the most is along hard edges of mats/pads... great for nailing the ambush fish. My PB is off of a 110 Bone.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! Yep, the 110 is my all around favorite too. I would like to put the 75 on some smallies! I don't get to fish for them enough ☹

[@TheDefiantClone]

Went bass fishing for the first time today (I've stream fished for trout while camping growing up) ... Used a cheap Abu Garcia spinner combo that's 15+ years old and really meant for streams. Used texas rigged plastics and a crankbait. Didn't catch anything but millfoil, but I also didn't lose any lures. Watched a 20 or so of your videos the last few weeks and it helped a lot.

[@danmack650cx]

Hi Debo Dink Man , I noticed you mentioned you liked the 75 -vs- 90 yep I found the 90 to be not conducive to my fishing . It seems I'd have to drop down in line size and make a rod specific change for that bait , which I am not going to do . The 90 is a more slender bait compared to the 75 and produces less drag than the 75 hence the change in my typical gear the 75 on the other hand works great on my typical allaround setup. Med / Fast rod 3000 reel , 20lb brais to 15lb P-line floroclear Leader . I also use the 110 whopper plopper on a med heavy /fast rod , 4000 reel , 20 lbs power pro ssv2 or higher braid to P-line 20lb leader . As you know the leader acts as a shock absorber so I don't pull the hook out of the fish or bend out hooks ... in general.

[@jpettymd]

Just ordered me some whopper ploppers and can’t wait to try... Debo, what makes you pick what type of lure? Is there any method to it or just a hunch / trial and error kinda thing??

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I bass it on a lot of things. An educated guess of sorts. You never know 100% for sure...sometimes the fish do their own things 🤣

With braid and treble hooks, you don't need to on a moving bait. I just pull into the fish and reel.

DEBO'S Fishing ok cool good to know. I fish around a lot of grass and crap so I don't often use treble hooks. Also they scare me lol

[@holypokey47]

The way I look at it I’m working the lure the same way when a 1lb fish bites as when a 5lber commits. I think the dink’s are coming from the bank fishing aspect. You’re landlocked to a certain few spots. Still love the videos. Love how your always trying new baits and techniques.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man. That's definitely true about being locked to a few spots. The places with deeper drop offs I can't even get to. I have my Jon boat out of storage. Just need the rainy weather to stop!

[@user-ro9dz4of5y]

Hey brother, first things first, congrats on 20k!!!! I run my plopper on yo zuri hybrid line. (Brand I'm sure doesn't really matter, that's just what I bought at the time cuz it was cost effective. And it's treated me very well!) First thought after you lost that biggie was "he's got that on braid?!" Cuz I've lost a lot of fish with certain baits on braid it seems like the lack of stretch bores the hook hole out to where they can just throw the hook. Fish I've landed on braid tends to have bigger holes from the hooks too. Try it on a mono or floro or just add a leader to give it some stretch, might improve hook ups and lands! Plus they hit the plopper different than a frog it seems. They're much more aggressive coming into it (probably cuz they actually chase it) with frogs the watch it for a sec and then ambush it. Either way great video, and keep grindin OGFeeshin friend!

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're 100% correct. I usually never run braid on a stiff rod. I always use a VERY soft crankbait rod. I was playing with different setups and paid the price. I agree with adding a leader or running mono. Appreciate you being an OG supporter 👊👊👊

[@kalaniebaniz2626]

Hey deps don't put bigger hooks on your 75 back hook like to hook is self on the rear end of the plooper. On some cast. In retrieve you'll notice the hook is caught up once your reeling in. Just feel drag. Then you'll have to reset your cast and fix the problem. I've tried 5 and 6 doesn't happen every cast. But it's any annoying.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, definitely would have to check that. Short shank hooks would help with that. Honestly, think I just needed more give in my combo.Hard to tell I suppose. Thanks for watching!

[@dredknot636]

I was using braid on my 110, got a backlash and watched it sail into orbit lol. Was thinking of grabbing the 90 it 75 instead as I tend to fish alot of small ponds and quarries.

[@alvinwine5665]

I lost some as well now I tie mono to a swivel then to braid haven't lost one since , and I've gotten some strong backlashes that jerked my rod pretty hard

[@averye]

2:55 when you use mostly right-retrieve baitcasters.. lol edit- i put bigger trebles on my ploppers, you're right they are 4 originally and it's just not big enough

[@madknacker]

I honestly like the 75 more than the 90. My 90s are too inconsistent. I throw all my topwater treble baits on a 7’ M/F with 40# braid to 15# mono leader and have had lots of success. I think a lot of people sleep on medium rods.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I agree! They are definitely handy. Stout, unlike a cranking stick, but enough give to keep hooks from pulling out! The leader is highly overlooked too!

[@madknacker]

DEBO'S Fishing mono leader specifically is even more overlooked. They all have their place though.

Recently had a fish put the big ole hooks on my 110 whopper plopper through my thumbnail and out the other side when i was trying to unhook him. It was a little dicey getting that thing out of my fingernail while it was still connected to the angry fish 😳 I don’t blame you for being cautious

[@DEBOSFishing]

OUCH! I've never had that. That truly sounds awful! I did have my dog get a treble in her nose. She got it in my finger while I was trying to get the hook out. That was a bad experience too lol

[@outdoorsfamily1435]

Bass really like the Whopper here in Western Washington

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! I haven't had the opportunity to fish there!

[@atrain124]

Why do baits with treble hooks need more give? Especially for crankbaits, how come you need a rod with a slower action? I’ve heard it pulls the hooks out of the mouth but why specially with treble hooks and crank baits

[@DEBOSFishing]

Trebel hooks are small. Each little prong of the treble is essentially just a tiny hook. Compare that to a heavy wire flipping hook and it's easy to see which one is likely to bend out easier. Additionally, the lure is moving and the fish only have a quick second to grab it. Compare that to a jig dragging on the bottom. You feel the bite, pause, and set the hook hard. Hope that helps!

[@atrain124]

DEBO'S Fishing Ahhhh!! Im all giddy that you actually responded!! Whats keeping people from putting on thicker treble hooks to do a hard hookset?

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@atrain124 nothing, but larger heavier hooks could pull the bait down on a topwater. It's just that treble hooks don't keep a fish pinned as well as a larger single wire hook...like a jig for example.

[@atrain124]

Yes great little video man..Hey today I went fishing as well n had a big brand new 🐸 130 wopper Plopper and on the 4th cast I launched that puppy out there n got a huge backlash n it went snap in the air she went. Landed over half way across the lake..lol Ow well! Ya plops sum n misses sum lmao. Great video brother..

[@DEBOSFishing]

Oh no! Yeah, the bad part about braid is that it has no shock absorption. Guess it's time for a trip to the tackle shop hahah thanks for watching man!

[@MrMase12]

Never ever caught a fish on a whopper plopper as much as I would like to because I like the bait, just never had luck.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I think it's just a matter of committing and being ready to have days where you don't catch. Overcast days early in the morning or late at night have been killer for me!

[@fixerupper3042]

Low light conditions work best for the whopper popper ( Dusk, dawn, cloudy days ETC....) Also at night especially on a full moon.

chatter bait is all bowfin in my lakes, never had a bass hit one.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I've never caught a bow fin. Those things look crazy as heck!

[@DiamondHead2010]

I just snagged two of my whopper plopper 75 on trees this week :( it’s like your taunting me lol Must pick up some more They slam the bone color in my waters..I think it mimics the frogs bellies imo

[@DEBOSFishing]

Oh! That stinks man. Yeah, bone is a great color too!

[@robertchillcott7669]

Debo Dink, now that was funny........a fish is a fish their all fun to catch

[@DEBOSFishing]

I completely agree man. It's all about getting out and having fun 👊👊👊

[@megancooper3241]

6:23 😂😂 Guess you weren’t expecting that. LOL And again at 12:02. Funniest video yet!! 🔥🔥 Edit: this has been happening to me to. Looks to be same fish, same location and flops like a dolphin to get the hooks out. I’m buying me some better hooks so that 3-4lb bass is MINE.

[@alvinwine5665]

I got mine with the vmc hooks and it hooks me every time just taking it off the rod clip to use

[@DEBOSFishing]

The hooks were fine. My setup just had no give. That fish surfaced and tossed the hook. Sometimes you can avoid it. Other times there is not anything you could have done differently. Thanks for watching 👊

[@megancooper3241]

DEBO'S Fishing so is it possible for a fish to toss a hook that is imbedded in its mouth really well?

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@megancooper3241 depends on how well it's hooked. That's why people stress to keep the rod tip down. They jump and head shake like that...they are likely to toss little treble hooks.

[@megancooper3241]

DEBO'S Fishing thank you so much for the tip. Went out this morning and caught my PB. I changed to better treble hooks and finally caught the bass that’s been giving me trouble. ☺️

[@TheEnderMiner]

what was up with that second fish's mouth?

[@DEBOSFishing]

I dunno? May have got caught when it was really small or just that way since birth?

[@TheGr8Brewski]

Been using it for over a year and haven't caught a bass on it yet 😩

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's the way I was with a drop shot. Just have to keep putting the time in with it. Early morning and late evening are the best times for the plopper in my experience.

[@Robert-hr6sh]

Sad to hear. Try different retrieval speeds plus every once in awhile a stop & go action between being it in. Good luck 👍🎣

[@mikeschultz6383]

Also I wouldn’t throw anything but the 130 size for largemouth downsizing for smallmouth I would throw the 90 or 75

[@DEBOSFishing]

The 110 has been my best all around size I feel. I haven't tossed the 90 around smallies though. I think the 75 is a solid little option when baitfish are small.

i have that same pole but i have a different baitcaster

Noticed in this you were using a left hand retrieve.

[@garrettswanson6502]

last time i went fishing took forever to get the first bass.... only a 10 in..... jokingly said i would love to catch the bass that would eat this guy next few cast hooked in to a 4-5lb bass and lost it right as i was about to flip it on the bank... didnt catch anything after that.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Ughhh! Some days it's like that. Or you grind all day and catch 10 right before you leave. You have to embrace the grind. Good thing is you know you were doing the right thing to get bit!

[@garrettswanson6502]

@@DEBOSFishing i only wish i hadnt forgot my bluegill glide bait, a little before I left big bass started hammering bluegill. it was fun watching them blast out of the water and hitting bluegill hard enough to knock them on the bank.

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@garrettswanson6502 oh man! That sounds like a ton of fun! I still have yet to catch a fish on a glide bait ☹

[@garrettswanson6502]

@@DEBOSFishingpost spawn is the best time for glide baits in my experience anyways. it can be a grind to get one to hit one and they dont always get the hooks when using the bigger ones.

[@drmitofit2673]

I caught my two PB bass, both 6.5 pounders, this spring a week apart on the same white WP75. My only problem is that there seems to be a diminishing return after using it at the same small lake, as if the bass get conditioned to avoid it. Oh well, that's why it's called fishing and not catching.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! Those are some good bass. Would be interesting to cycle through other lures ro see if you could get bites!
