How do fishing KZbinrs get sponsored? I’ve always wanted to know.

[@kcbennie]

Dude, you have a great channel!!! All info and no ego, meaning that you catch scenes are almost strictly just to prove what you're teaching. Some channels are all "Look at me catch fish with my ball cap sitting high on my head and my giant pickup truck, all while being 5'2"!" I learn so much here!!! Thanks, Brother!!!

[@TylersReelFishing]

I appreciate that! Thanks for the kind words

[@doublec1758]

Dude you’re in for a treat, throw it at the crack of dawn for the best results. Also, learn to walk it, spro popping frog is a great option and super easy to walk. Commit to it, and they WILL blow up on it!👊🏻

[@TylersReelFishing]

Not the spro. Strike king poppin perch. Better hookup ratio

[@Outdoor_Jack]

@@TylersReelFishing oh yeah I know I’m getting the poppin pad perch I don’t even know what the spro is and quite honestly I don’t think there is a better lures brand than strike king out there!

[@joshc9208]

Get a whopper plopper 110 in the bone color, throw it in open water near some Sort of cover, retrieve it fast enough to get the buzz effect, always have good luck with those especially this time of year. Frogs are awesome but harder learning curve id say on top water.

[@6Sally5]

At 70, I’m just now getting back into fishing after a 15 year hiatus. Got a nice, inexpensive kayak set up for fishing. I really appreciate your vids…especially this one. Frogs are my goto for the quiet backwaters.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Awesome! Glad to have ya around!

[@andrewbeadles883]

"A hookset strong enough to pick up Thor's hammer." That's my frog fishing motto from now on. My sweetest frog hookset was probably last week. The bass were up super shallow and were loving the frog. On one of my casts I landed it on the bank and worked it back through some extremely thick flooded vegetation. I couldn't even see my frog but I suddenly heard that distinctive splash, waited a sec, then I picked up Thor's hammer. I launched that 3.7lb bass about 4 feet over the rest of the cover...lol It definitely wasn't my biggest on the frog but it felt sweet.

[@babadeedee]

LOL

That’s amazing haha! Frog fishing is too dang fun

Hey Tyler thanks for the great tips on frog fishing. I didn't know about how many more bites you can get your self by walking the frog . I'll have to pick up some of those Poppin purches there different than the average frog and I like that. GOD bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike from Missouri.

Thanks for mixing bank fishing and boat fishing tips. I'm willing to guess the majority of us here is the classroom are bank fishing. A great experiment on one of your next teaching videos would be to say at the beginning is for "only" the bank fisherman to thumbs up the video. Then monitor that against the amount of views.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Nobody ever uses the like button though. Would be great if people did haha

[@TheDude1776]

@@TylersReelFishing I bet they would if you poised it like a poll. People love to take sides. You are one of the few "pros" that mix it up with success. Too many are out there sonar fishing on their expensive bass boats. Leaving their bank fishing roots behind. TacticalBassin, MillikenFishing, LakeForkGuy.... just to name a few. You're kill'n it! AND! You have a knack for teaching from real experience. Getting people to hit the like button is all about the wording. Gotta snap' m out of their zone. Pose a challenge. Sort of like, "if at any point in this video you feel that you learned something or felt inspired, let me know by hitting the like button so this video will spread and help others". Or, "if this video gets say 10k likes, I will do a Wal-Mart lure challenge" or something to that effect. Thanks again Tyler.

[@Mr.Higgs.]

We had a 3 week time frame of traditional spring weather, now we are having constant 80° days. Frogs are in season, just rigged up the frog rod for the rest of the season, best bite you can wish for.

[@jasongibson1546]

Another great video Tyler! Apparently, I need some tips on how to catch 'cruising' bass. This past weekend I was fishing a spot that I could literally see plenty of bass cruising through the water amongst the downed trees and other cover. I tried EVERYTHING...jigs, spinners, chatterbaits, and of course the frog. I would watch them come straight up to the frog and then swim away. I hid behind a tree just in case they could see me...still nothing. What was I doing wrong? Do you have any secrets for bass that just won't bite?

[@stoneysdead689]

Finesse tactics like ned rigs, shaky heads, drop shot, etc.- are made for this very situation. Generally- if they won't hit a moving bait, you need something smaller, something much, much slower, and less intimidating. Sounds like you tried a bunch of power fishing tactics- which are the most fun, but usually not the most productive.

[@phantomshtter]

I LOVE frog fishin', happy to say I'm not makin any of these mistakes!😁 I did lose a 4 pounder the other day after grinding em to just a few feet off the bank!😭 I don't know if I horsed em too much or it was the strait braid but I'm gonna start using 6 foot of "big game" mono leader for just a little give when they breach and thrash. This guy jumped 4 times on me and threw me on that last one. Haunts my dreams!😥😡

[@zacpearson1878]

As a native Floridan I have yet to catch a fish on a frog this season I’m almost always throwing a black spro but still I haven’t gotten a bite. I’m hoping this vid helped 🤞🏻

Nice~

[@matwithonet7389]

Do fish stay on beds at night? I enjoy night fishing because I like to be there when there’s less traffic on the water. I’m a bank fisherman from California and I have 2 reservoirs within about 30-40 minutes from me. Water temp where I’m at is about 67-71 as of today. We just had a cold from front that had air temp go from 79-81 to about 64-67 that started 2 days ago. And about 2 weeks ago water temp was 69-73. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If you wanna look at the bodies of water they are Woodward reservoir in Oakdale Ca and Modesto reservoir near Waterford Ca. Thank you so much!

[@davidpowell5111]

I want your opinion...I got a free popping perch but it's clear everything . Would you color it. I have shad and bluegill.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Clear can work really well in clear water for Shad Spawn. Besides that, yes I would spray paint it or something

[@Michael_Lane_Fishing]

Might throw a frog here in Aus. for massive Murray Cod. Any recommendations?

[@robyfowler9836]

Love frog fishing the blow ups the adrenal rush wow.

[@lukedenbleyker5091]

You rock

[@uneathharrison]

Walking a frog in place is key and if you get real good at walking it you can get it to walk left or right if coming up to cover and you want to get closer. When you get good at frog fishing that is you want to do. Another good tip is if you are getting hit but they are only biting the legs trim them down and bending hooks slightly up can help to depending on the frog. Also waiting for that slight pressure before rippin on it helps. Sometimes they will just hit it and if you don’t swing and twitch it a couple times they most likely come back for it.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Great tips!

[@uneathharrison]

@@TylersReelFishing I know you already probably knew. 🤣 thanks for all the great videos and hope all is well for you and your family. Love the 100 pond videos as I am a bank angler. But I don’t have much ponds to fish out here in the Bay Area of California. Mostly walking a lot of reservoir banks. Would be cool if you did some videos of bank fishing some lakes. How you would go about researching them like using google earth to find areas to fish but also how to figure out witch areas are aceccible by foot. Where I live I have 3 reservoirs that don’t even allow boats close by here in Morgan Hill California. Anyways you the man and look forward to more of what you do

[@JoseReyes-qj4nm]

What kind of frogs do you recommend and color ?

[@TylersReelFishing]

The exact frog linked in the video description 👍🏼 color doesn’t really matter but I like break

[@doanut300]

Should I trim the tails on my frog? I heard you're supposed to but I'm unsure.

[@TylersReelFishing]

You trim them for one of two reasons: 1. You want to be able to walk the frog easier. The legs cause drag which makes it harder to walk. 2. If you feel like the tails are being eaten by the bass and not the bait, then trim them. Most often it’s number 1 though. I don’t trim my poppin to perch tail and I catch almost all that bite

I’m not a KZbinr. I’m a fan of your videos. Your instructional videos get better every day. But …… I kinda miss the old intro. I might be the only one, and I definitely don’t want to sound like a comment Troll. I just kinda liked the old intro better. When I hear “lets talk about it”, it’s time for that beat to drop. Yes, the intro probably needed a refresh, but the music was your theme song. Superman has got his music, Indiana Jones has his, and TRF has got his. Lastly, loved the little Thor clip thrown into the beginning.

[@caseycherrington2812]

Changing it up i see

[@TylersReelFishing]

How so?

[@hunterh1033]

Also, slightly bend the hooks up! Grab a pair of pliers and manipulate those hooks so that they just BARELY snag your skin when you run your finger across the top of the bait. Still 95% weedless but instantly increases your hook up ratio.

[@TylersReelFishing]

I mean, you can. But I don’t and I hook 95% already

[@hunterh1033]

@@TylersReelFishing hm, I may be slightly off on that regarding bass being necessary, though I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. We also have Norther Snakehead here with much tougher mouths and that is what I'm thinking of in regard to hookups being difficult.
