WHOPPER PLOPPER ANNIHILATION!!! (TOPWATER POND BASS FISHING)

The topwater pond bass fishing was ridiculous in the backyard pond on the 2nd evening in Chicago! I started out with a plan to flip the weeds, but after 2 casts with the Whopper Plopper 90, it was clear that topwater was the technique of choice for the night! This pond is so off the charts insane for numbers of bass, I can honestly say I've never caught so many bass in such a short time in my life!!!

I've caught more and bigger bass on a Whopper plopper #90 then any other size.its my go to lure always.

[@shawnbeck2303]

I bought a 90 Wopper Plopper at Academy Academy Sports Warehouse. High dollar for me. $12.99. Drove a hr and a half to get to Terre Haute. From Indianapolis. Tried it finally at a small pond. First cast. Bam!!!!!!! 3 pounder then caught 11 more in 40 minutes. Topwater flurry! Oh! What fun! Then tried another pond on the first cast lost the Wopper Plopper. I was damn mad about it no way to retrieve it back. But, Man. What a 40 minutes. I am hooked on the Wopper Plopper now. Tried to buy more. Shawn

[@lojofishing]

Love the whopper plopper action!!! Great video. Keep it up

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

THX!

[@RichardSmith-vn6gr]

I’ve been watching whopper plopper videos on KZbin for a couple of years now. I finally went to Academy Sports earlier in the year and I caught my PB bass on a whopper plopper 90. I am sold on the effectiveness of the River2Sea lures.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Love the vids, Cornell. Nothing more fun than a topwater evening of that many fish!

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks! No doubt...

[@SOFishing]

I love catch a big one but numbers always fun especially when the topwater is kill in' it !! Great video!!

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks!

[@rancewarschak6304]

Give me 1 5lber !!! Great vid and that bait whacks em here in South Texas as well

[@Buckeye-gq9nq]

I took my Sun Dolphin Sportsman mini bass boat out last night on a small local lake and I caught 5 bass and 1 crappie on a whopper plopper 90 in a little under 2 hours of fishing. The plopper is king!!!

[@sethalbert1239]

Just got done buying 6 whopper plopper 90's and look forward to trying them out tonight!

[@marcuslong2917]

Damn this gets me pumped for those late summer nights.

[@lloydwilliams7674]

Yup, the Whopper Plopper series has been amazing for me as well...Smallmouth in rivers and lakes, largemouth in lakes and pike in rivers and plenty of large fish. I sometime have to force myself to start with or change baits because of the success I've had with the various sizes. I'm also a believer that the color is far secondary to WP's action/sound when attracting fish.

[@jeremyplummer7341]

I've had the same experience with the Whopper plopper 90 at a lil pond.

[@frankwagner6020]

Another nice numbers vid! I picked up a Plopper 90 in loon from Angler's express after work today. Hit up a small local pond and it delivered on the second cast a nice chunky 3lber.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks Frank! Well done...

[@williamaprescott]

Pretty cool . TOP water bits can't beat it.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks & nope, you can't!

[@michaelshoffner6584]

looks like that you may have an over population problem with so many small bass. You might want to take some of them out and let the others get big

[@jdean1851]

what a "TRULY BEAUTIFUL BLACK CRAPPIE" Yellow stripe down the belly,,,,nice! I just found a 90 whopper plopper in the Tule's the other day....I'll try it this weekend! but our waters 44 and 3-6in visibilty...we need sun! cheers from Idaho

[@brycealberts3861]

I've had many a day/nite like you just had at my brother n laws 4 acre pond in middle Kansas. I just got a couple of whopper plopper 90's and a couple torpedos and the bass smash them. Caught over 30 in a day a couple of times, mostly in the 2 - 3 lb range. Biggest one so far has been a little over 4 1/2 lbs caught in some weeds about 3 ft from shore. Fantastic lure my favorite!

[@christoperchesser1526]

night like that fer sure!! love catching a big ole chunk but more fish more fun for sure

[@maxmuzones6770]

You are one of the only ambidextrous fisherman I know, I would love to have that ability it would be so much easier while real hunting

[@evankeller4253]

St. Croix avid is one of my favorites. Usually run it with open face spinner though not baitcast. Sweet vid, crushed the basssssssssss

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

They are pretty awesome! Thanks man...

[@LilZooooted]

I would go quantity than quality but the big ones are very exciting to catch. Awesome video Cornell!

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks Nicholas!!!

[@bobby_t7149]

I'm down here in Fla. and It's nothing to go to a pond and get a 5-8lb bass, but I have only ever caught like 8 in one spot on the same lure... Awesome video man! I'll go with numbers over size! ...and you don't have to worry about the gators up there.

[@spankthatBASSTV]

I have a little honey hole over here in the broward county area, I pull out 8&9's almost all day on a good day and of course some dinks but that's only natural right?

[@jesse-45cal-WCM]

Love the action. I had a morning like that this morning. I was throwing a chatter bait mini and caught great numbers. The morning was topped off by a 3.84 pound largemouth. This was my PB.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Cool! Congrats on your PB!!!

[@scotthanna941]

im just now started using a whopper plopper but no luck yet, had two strikes but no hook up cant wait till spring during spawn here in north florida area. small ponds are exceptional for bass fishing and even the creeks here have big ole five pound bass.

[@jacobpeffley853]

The new 75 is phenomenal too

[@matthewjones9897]

awesome ! I really love catching numbers, especially on topwater, but I would rather catch an 8 pounder . Keep up the great videos man !

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks! Will do...

[@lylekoss4534]

I like watching your videos .. I just got a Whopper Popper 110 Bluegill can't wait to try it out ! An 8 pound Bass would be Awesome !

[@seanlupardus2907]

That looked like a blast. I have caught them like that a few times. When i was stationed in Texas. I heard you mention being in Illinois, that is where I live. A lot of little small pond fish all around. Have fun! God Bless

[@peteradams6981]

great video love how your bout having fun with fishing and not vlogging bout ur favorite socks for 15 min before u get to fishing...but anyways I just tried this lure for first time hoping to catch my first smallie and man they crushed it and got 8 smallies and one was 2lb 4oz...I was so stoked... great bait and video keep them coming

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

THX! That's a good day!!!

[@fredfredburger811]

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

It definitely was!!!

[@Mattcruger]

love whopper plopper especially for finding the fish sometimes stir up the water with the plopper and throw a senko weedless after does awesome

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Very smart!

[@tylerbarnett9418]

Whooper Plopper is the heat

[@305Tato]

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

[@galee1960]

Great video! Just picked up a couple Whopper Ploppers, cant wait to use them

[@charlesscarborough7424]

Good S***!! Love the vid and you had a an awesome eve!

[@lindagee6477]

That was so fun to watch! Wish we had a bass pond like that around here

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

I'm glad you liked it!!!

[@adriantorres7126]

Got my self a wopher plopper the bigest one $16.99 2nd cast and game a nice 15inch bass defenitely worth the money

[@danilodeleon88]

Awesome video. I've never caught a top water fish so I would love a night like that. Going tomorrow at 445 in the morning to try for my first one here in California.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks!!! Good luck...

[@AlexRuddFishing]

No one will ever be able to take away from you that your always sporting some really unique water craft lol

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

LOL! You're probably right...

[@devinburke5815]

Man that was awesome. Every time u touched the water it was game on . I had fun jus watching it

[@midwestrcjunkies6522]

wow. what a night. im just outside chicago also. never seen a night bite like that around here. great show!!

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

THX!!!

[@grizzspec]

Love your videos man. So refreshing from the others on YT. I'm going up to the Ozarks early April and this video definitely convinced me to bring a bunch of these whopper ploppers! This will kill it on my private lake in Jersey also. Good stuff, keep up the good work!

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

THX!!! Will do...

[@brianrichard1768]

NICE... just bought 2 and hope I have as much luck as you did in a few days.

[@robertarrowood3651]

sup dude. just want to say i got some mono on my bait caster since i asked you what i should get. cought my first bass on my bait caster with a jig. i can honestly say i it will be hard to go to a spinning real again. keep up the great vids bro.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Congrats! Thanks man...

[@cheronecom]

Well you made me buy one. Great video. I have watched it more than once waiting for my bait to arrive.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

LOL! Thanks Mark!!! You'll love it...

[@Spoons7414]

Illinois spring fishing is like this. Especially in clear water. I've had plenty of days like this but I've never caught a monster. I'd take the 8lber any day

[@garthodonnell3661]

Awesome haha but seriously, awesome arvo fishing.. Great vid dude!!

[@davewargo2753]

Bought a 90 and 130 Whopper Plopper Munky butt . I am fishing this evening.A young fisherman was using a 130 this morning and was hooking some large Excellent bass . Hope it works for me this evening and Tomorrow morning . Fish on . From the 71/2 decade fisherman.

[@GS-zp9xt]

Looks like your having a blast out there

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

It was a blast!

[@jamesoutdoors6560]

Little tip that I’m sure you know, but when your fishing top water it’s best to let the fish take the bait a few more seconds than normal before setting the hook. That’s why you missed that first bass, the hook set was a little to quick.

[@Kolby9241]

That applies to a frog so the bass can start to swallow the lure but since a whopper plopper has treble hooks it is just a reaction hookset instead of the wait 2 seconds and set

[@fishingwithdiggs1446]

Nice!!!!! Have never had a night like that with the Plopper. I'd take all those dinks over one 5lber! Anyday!! Nice Vid Cornel!

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

I hear ya! Thanks man...

[@Lean3x919]

I’ve caught a 8.8 pounder out a lake the other day with the I know it whopper plopper love it

[@williammuzzey1209]

Yes those Whopper ploppers work I bought three of them and they do work

[@dukeaboy829]

I've had great success using the whopper plopper in yoda color 90...after watching your video I had to go out and get the monkey but...yeah I just said that....gonna use it this weekend...great video....

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

LOL! Yes you did, as many of us now have... Thanks & good luck with it!

[@Senorguz86]

I just bought a whopper plopper. I'm ready to try it out. Hopefully get good results also.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Nice! Good luck...

[@quill1260]

Got my whopper plopper from Bezos today. I'm definitely stopping on the way home from work tomorrow.

[@FishHuntFreedom]

I'll take numbers over 1 monster any day. Cool vid

[@striperswiper1]

I bought one whooper plooper, took it out and never looked back. I use the 75, 90, 130 and have one tackle tray just for them. I often catch bigger bass than I am getting on a senko bite.

[@jeremygibson228]

Walt D what colors seem to work best for you?

[@blacksheep3593]

I would like the numbers but at the same token anybody would love that one 8-pounder....nice fishing .... I have a few Whopper ploppers and hands down they work great love them ....

[@nathaniel4756]

Great man. Top water and numbers great fun

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks! It was a blast...

[@nathaniel4756]

keep up the good work man I really enjoy your vids,i have learned a great deal from watching...

[@chythn72]

i bought a whopper plopper first time out within a 1/2 hr i had 4 fish from 1.6lbs to 3lbs love this lure

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Nice!!! Awesome isn't it???!

[@chythn72]

+KZbinFISHINGVIDS this is now my go to lure

[@finnesseb5676]

That's the same exact one I have. I have been crushing them this year on it! Nice video!

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

It's a good one! Thanks!

[@javierpepin3154]

I have one plopper 90 that lure is a killer machine 🖒

[@Attemptingtospare]

i always enjoy your videos man. The Cali Kid aprroves lol. I enjoy numbers, alot, but theres nothing like catching your PB. Mine is 6.9lbs on the trusty old dropshot with Aarons Magic roboworm

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks bud!!!

[@gmanlipripper]

the whopper plopper is the best lure on the market today in my opinion I caught me four 4lb smallies and probably 20+ 3 lbrs. was a epic day. hope to have video up asap. keep pulling them be safe

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Cool! Very good day...

[@hooper8935]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the whopper plopper needs to be added to my arsenal!? but they're like 15 bucks lol don't know if I trust my casting accuracy all that well

[@louietavares9430]

Hooper_c4 u worth every penny watch videos from the KZbin channel tacticalbassin those guys explain everything from the goods to the bass on everything

[@russianbot5554]

You got to catch them on sale at academy

[@adamlovin8799]

Hooper_c4 I know your comment is old but u might find one on the bank for free like I did 😉

[@pjanoo6973]

Bass pro shops makes a plopper for 8 bucks and it has two fins on it.

[@Thedickerdudebro]

@@adamlovin8799 bro, I found my whopper plopper on the bank too, best lure I got!

[@alecmccarthyphd]

looks like a fire pond!

[@fishinaddiction8428]

Numbers over size, especially if they're hitting top water! Whopper plopped is a great bait

[@falconwarrior7306]

Dude crappie on the popper AWESOME

[@olgakarass]

i need this lure so bad!!!!!! ty for this video, I'd never heard of the whopper plopper..😂😂😂😂

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Yes you do!!! LOL... No problem!

[@fishgonewildbptwerkstar2879]

I took mine to a pond that is known for picky bass and had blow ups was Awesome.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Good job!!!

[@smdbassin5145]

Deffintly a great bait I got around 20 bass on it yesterday in a local lake here in southern md

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Good job!!!

[@IAmThe_Rokk]

Im looking for something to put on my wall so that 8lber would be great!! but whenever you're catching fish is always fun.

[@BassGeek]

I like the big bass myself. However if I can't get on'em a night like that don't hurt once in a while.

[@Eastcoastbassfishing]

Nice man you tore them up on that 90. I'd say I would rather catch the big 8 pounder than catching a large amount of smaller bass but then again it's still fun. Great vid man. I'd love to get together with you bro.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thank man!

[@lumpyq6385]

I would like the 8 Pounder but I would take that night for sure. Their has to be a big one in there, get him the next time you go back.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

I'm sure there is too!!! I'll definitely be back for her...

[@bruce11b123]

Always been a frog guy but I think I may invest in some whopper ploppers!!!! Good video brother!!!!

[@clayboss1015]

Have you tried the sunfish? For me, I'd throw a sun fish over a frog any day, but that's just me. But whopper plopper is great for open water!

[@bruce11b123]

+Clayboss101 Noni haven't brother, you mean like a small swimbait?

[@clayboss1015]

+SouthernViking look up live target hollow body sun fish. They're around $12.99. The smaller version seems to work better for me, but I just walk it sorta fast on top of muck and grass and works great!

[@bruce11b123]

+Clayboss101 will do thanks bri

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Good plan! Thanks bud...

[@matteosivilotti9800]

ultradink omg hahahaha funniest American word I ever learned lol

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

LOL! I'm glad to have offered it to you...

[@tedmccarthy1401]

awesome video and whopper plopper getting the job done

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

THX!!

[@jeremygibson228]

My biggest bass was actually a 7lb smallmouth. My biggest largemouth was 6lbs. So yea I would have to take the 8lb largemouth this time. Gotta make it right! Lol got the smallmouth on a big arbogast jitterbug on an early very cloudy morning just as it was getting light. The water was a river and it was high and fast but I'm a top water junkie so I was there. Found a break in the fast moving water along a walk that bent and I got her 2 feet away from the walk. I immediately was in the water cause I had no net and wasn't about to risk losing that big of a smallmouth by pulling it up the sid of the walkway and rail.

[@ChiCityYaker]

Putting in work with Plopper! Goin to grab one and try it but dude you have to try the Double Plopper! That buzzbait really has impressed me. Try it out.

[@clayboss1015]

Yes man! The double plopper has been working great for me on lakes! Catches some quantity, but mostly quality!!! And I thought it would be like super expensive but it's only like 16 bucks. Can't beat it for its quality.

[@ChiCityYaker]

+Clayboss101 agree with you on quality. I bought it last Friday, went fishing the next day with perfect conditions for topwater. Lake water level was up 2ft from rain storms previous days, overcast, banks were flooded, nice chop on the water from winds...2nd cast I hooked into a 4lb bass easily and 3 cast later a solid chunk 3lb. It really won me over with the fact that it floats. Opens up new ways to fish a buzzbait.

[@gtbowhunter9086]

i love my plopper. revolutionary lure for sure

[@clayboss1015]

+ChiCityYaker yeah, it floats for sure. That saved me. I made a bad case with my braid and it snapped and went flying. Sure enough a few yards down was my Buzzbait. Saved me!

[@ChiCityYaker]

+Clayboss101 lol lucky. Try dead-buzzing it...it's the name I made for the technique. Reel 2x's...pause 3-5secs...repeat till its out of the strike zone. Found it works when bass are lazy.

[@rickywhiteii4591]

Numbers are gd, but deep down inside u want that big one! Great video dude.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks!!!

[@jasonlittle4049]

Dam that top water was killing them.lol good job i need to get me some of them

[@Exploremorefishing]

Going to buy this lure after watching this lol great night for you...id definitely take a night like that 👍🏻

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

You'll love it!

[@jeremycarpenter2731]

I live in Florida don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get a bite on the Whopper plopper I cast it and I reel it at different speeds and I can't get a bite . Any advice. On how to work the bait.

[@AnglerMarv]

I have to go with one 8 pounder, LOL That would be an awesome Personal Best! Great video man lots of catches is always fun to watch. Looking forward to throwing my WP this weekend. I have a 90 Yoda pattern. Tight Lines.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Yes it would!!! Thanks...go get 'em!!! May the force be with you... ; )

[@manbearpigjosh]

+KZbinFISHINGVIDS Just used the whopper plopper yesterday and caught a nice one

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

J Lee Good job!!!

[@yc_exploring]

cool video. when throwing $12.99 lures tho, i would recommend using a mono or floro leader

[@michaelhenson4163]

So to be clear, you're fishing a Whopper Plopper 90, right? We could turn this into a drinking game. I kid. Good stuff man.

[@SemperFiOutdoors44]

Great vid man. I went a bought the whopper plopper in ghost and my second cast i caught a 2 pounder in a kayak first time kayak fishing also. That thing catches em. Keep the vids coming.

[@clayboss1015]

Nice man! Gotta love kayak fishing, did he pull your kayak much?

[@SemperFiOutdoors44]

ya turned me a bit and pulled me about 5ft. After that I am hooked and am looking to get a kayak.

[@clayboss1015]

+Wes Bartlett yeah, kayaks are super fun and easy to take places. But I got a little boat (looks a lot like the pelican bass raider 10 e) with a trolling motor. Man it's fun. But I started the summer with a kayak at my lake and loved it. But since my uncle lended me his boat I couldn't give it a rest.

[@SemperFiOutdoors44]

nice I am hoping to get a tracker pro team 195 in the next year or so... the lakes around me are huge and need a boat to do any good fishing.

[@clayboss1015]

+Wes Bartlett yeah, I know what you mean. The little trolling motor takes a while to go across the lake but it's better than not being able to fish at all.

[@clayboss1015]

Gotta love the whopper plopper.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Yup!

[@manbearpigjosh]

+KZbinFISHINGVIDS Ever try to do like a LTB slam or MTB Slam? Would be cool to see the thought process behind approaching new unknown baits

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Not yet! I would be an interesting challenge though...

[@holdenclements6160]

I would have to take the 8 pounder... That would be a sick personal best. Love your vids and tips, Cornell.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

I hope you get 'em soon! Thanks man!

[@miket5578]

I'm new to Bass fishing, and not having much luck. I'll take the numbers over an 8# bass.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Practice makes perfect! Keep at it & you'll start catching them like a pro in no time...

[@uhhFez]

love your videos man! and would love to fish with you very knowledgeable!

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

THX!

[@dethTr0ll165]

i would take a night with the numbers oer one big fish any day of the week!

[@RealisticFishing]

I think I would choose the numbers, I need the practice.

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Smart way to look at it!!!

[@lucascurnutte3905]

Cool vid keep them coming !!

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thx! Will do...

[@victorialentfer7034]

love the video! What a great pond!

[@YouTubeFISHINGVIDS]

Thanks!!!

[@TonyBs]

awesome I would rather catch all those then the big one nice job

[@Wethepeople12024]

I see you got left and right handed bait casters. Want to buy one but they don't feel the same as an open face. Any suggestions on one to get?

[@jharris0515]

O ok cool I've used braid and on a long cast my line snapped mid way through 2 times don't know how it happened
