[@bicalipierfishing8951]

Hello Mike I love fishing top water poppers and walking baits at my local fishing pier 👍🎣

[@Dirt_Rover2030]

Love the handlebars Mike. My son thinks you are awesome. He loves watching your videos. Thanks for the content. God bless.

Great information, nothing as exciting as fishing a topwater lure

[@pedrocrespomira4693]

Awsome masterclass on surface fishing . Thanks Mike Best regards from Portugal

[@derricksadlowski1066]

Good video IKE. You're getting better at that teaching gig. 😎

[@LUE68]

[@castandchill]

[@hooksetflex]

Hey Ike! Love your channel & am a daily viewer, weather old vids or new ones. I live right around the corner from u and fish palatine lake all the time! My question for u is if you had to choose between 5 baits to use in our area here in the grove, in the summer time, which 5 baits would u pack and when & where would u use them? I have my pick of the top 5 i’d use here during the summer and would LOVE to see which baits/lures you CANNOT leave the house without! Id love to do a comparison video which you go out and use ur top 5 baits, vs my top 5 and see who can catch the bigger fish on the same body of water (im sure u’d win😂) and compare & contrast why we chose which bait, at which times, and what cover/structure we throw certan lures at. Ill also do a follow up video if i see youve replied. Love the channel & keep on reelin on!

Mike your a beast but i gotta go with the Zara spook and the Pop R versus the 2 Rapala baits your pitching..especially here in Florida 💯

[@donkswampey3874]

I was wondering this myself. Thanks for the info IKE!

[@DigiPimp2]

Good Job Ike!

[@panaybacalaoify]

2 of my favorites! But I got them backwards. I thought the popper was better on clear water. And the walking bait better for windy conditions. Thanks Mike for teaching me something new.

[@adammitchell3462]

The plopper caused me to fall in absolute love with top water bass fishing, however the popper eludes me lol i can walk a spook but never had any luch on it...those ploppers are deadly though!

[@bassseeker548]

Great information. Thanks Mike

[@swishfish7646]

Awesome vid! Hopefully more to come

[@ziggyblue782]

Great video! Thanks for the info

[@BassGeek]

I agree! The 2 best. Heck who didn't start with a Pop'r?

[@orskee]

Mike you are my favorite fisherman. Love your show on tv! Man I'd love to go out with you for a day! You hitting tournaments this year? Good luck love your enthusiasm!

[@richiepilot9016]

Great video! Come fish Hopatcong some time!

[@anthonyarnone9262]

The popper has been working amazing the past few days just by casting into those open pockets inside the moss.

[@FishnTheSouthOkanagan78]

Mike please do a Molix Supernato beetle on the water how to

[@jeffgrier8488]

Thanks Mike, I think it's time to blow the dust off of some of my fishing lures!

[@dw8027]

As one of the Folks at home who is also a keen Co-Angler in tournaments I am wondering if you could do a video with a break down of some basics for Co-Anglers on what are some go to baits no matter where you are etc. Tight lines, from the folks at home

[@matthewheld8577]

Awesome. Got any advice Or tips for fishing a tremor head

[@orskee]

How deep of water will you use a top water on when not by shore?

[@keynospitbox7037]

Hey mike remember me the guy you argued with on boat for fishing spot still fishing spot

[@street1013]

Lol. He try to run u off a spot?

[@ricknaver4366]

What knot? loop knot, tie direct to a split ring or clip. or tie direct to the bait?

[@FishnTheSouthOkanagan78]

I would’ve never thought to use a popper with aggressive chop on the water 🤔 I’ll have to remember that next time

[@sbaner5]

What is your favorite rod and reel set up for these two baits?

[@sammyhuang]

Nice bait. How about using big popper to get giant trevally in biak, west papua indonesia 😎

[@BrockPregeant-nc8ms]

Go ike

[@AdamMiharaFishing]

Very good explanation of both.

[@mikekrzeminski9920]

Love you in the shop video

[@mr.skeptical3071]

Use Black marker next time Mike!!

[@edgarashford2283]

Mike, you are too far away from the camera where i can't see your bait or writing board.

[@fishinglife5464]

#kayakandsurffishing 👍👍

[@Tommylamb16]

Is you want to pop then I would suggest throwing a popper. If you’re in the mood to walk a bait then throw a walking bait. I have won 13 Bassmaster Classics and entered the Fishing Hall of Fame 63 times so I would take my advice.

[@FastEddy1959]

Ummmm..... Howzatagin?

[@rizsauvage]

Rod and line ?!?

[@caliyak_fishing]

buzz vs whopper plopper

[@chrisdizzle313]

You spelled walking wrong mike lol
