Frog Fishing Tips for more and Bigger Bass

The best fisher man to ever do it!!!

I had no idea my trolling motor made noise when it’s running?? Or when setting the hook on a frog 🐸 you wanna pull Up.!! 🤤 I’ve been going the wrong way for the last 30 years.!!??! Just invaluable knowledge here. 🤭

Walk the frog

I’ve learned so much about fishing from your videos throughout these years. Thank you 😊

Where do you get that frog. I drive a big truck through Moore Haven 5 or 6,days a week. There’s a good bait and tackle shop on Griffin Road in Davie. The owner took the time to teach me on how to use rubber worms. Black Grape seems to put them on the hook.
I need to learn the frog thing.

I love Roland such a no B.S. pro. Now, I've been fishing w/frog this way for many years and I've had people tell for many years that I have been fishing frogs all wrong and that big bass don't hang in that really thick brush. Oh, you better believe they do. what I just learned just now that seemed to be the problem was the damn hook. Roland explains here perfectly which I will do from now on is widen the hook so that it is barely touching. Most times when you buy them they a little bit squeezed in the body. I've lost many fish this way, because the hook didn't set. I would have to count to five and then set the hook really hard. Using my kayak i get back into some really heavy stuff and i think w/Roland's advice of a little hook/body separation I'll have a higher percentage. I will do this for Pike too. Roland you are the best and are one of the two pros I'll actually listen too.

Thanks for the tips! I see most everyone says cut the tails and open the hooks so why don’t the manufactures pay attention to this and make them this way?

Thanks for the tips !

Pfffffft. I fish top waters with my same 10 ft med/light spinning rod I catch 20+ lb salmon and steelhead with in the fall winter spring and do damn good…
YOU DONT "NEED" to go out and switch up and buy a ton of fancy gear to try out top water fishing for bass or pike , and you definitely dont need no 60lb braid like I see all these bass fisherman using yanking 6 lb bass 20 yards across OVER the water to the bank thru the air .. You dont need to rip the fishes face off with your hookset , i catch 25-30 lb salmon (which make a 6 lb bass feel like a minnow) on a 6 lb florocarben tippet in holes filled with heavy rocks and tree limbs , chances are if your not getting a good hookset your not waiting long enough after the fish strikes to set the hook, which is 99.9% of most peoples mistake when fishing a topwater

Would love to fish with Roland! Been watching him all my life!

Absolute legend

I really love the details of the techniques in this video. Thanks for sharing Mr. Roland!

You gave a lot of great info in this video. One thing you said is so true "these tips are invaluable." Thanks for sharing the knowledge you gained over your years of fishing. Now if I can retain half of what you share in your videos I know I will be a better fisherman. Thanks.

Roland. So glad I found out you’re on YouTube. As a late 80’s kid, I grew up on you. I remember My pops (70) told me ever since I was a kid to pay attention whenever you talk as he’s always looked up to you too. We used to, and still do subscribe to in-fisherman just to get your exclusive scoop tips and tricks. Anytime you’re in Virginia and you’re near either of us, dinner and a free fishing trip is on us. We got a local private lake that’s roughly 100 acres that’s absolutely untouched and pristine. Next to a military base, only residents can access it and EPA is super strict on water quality levels. My PB (10.9) is from that lake that I caught using tips I learned from you man. You’d shit if you fished this place, you’d absolutely love it. Anyhoo, glad to see you on here man, it’s so cool. It’s like sitting with an old friend and teacher, I’m just absorbing as much as I possibly can. Stay safe brother!

Hey Mr. Roland! I’m having an issue when I frog fish and when I use my devil’s horse lure (so basically when I fish top water). Two times now I have lost the entire lure to the fish on the hook set. I use 20 lb braid and tied a palomar knot. I hate this because I don’t want lures left in the fish’s mouth and harming them.

A rainy day video on line and leaders would be cool. I’ve just started dabbling with leaders and I struggle with the leader to line knot hitting the guides (is that okay?) and proper leader length.

I bought some frogs direct out of China and took them onto the water fishing. One caught my eye and looking intently at it I had the notion to kiss it and then it turned from a plastic frog popper into a beautiful Asian princess.

I can't get enough of these videos. Roland I could only emagin how many people loved being in your class at school. You are a true teacher I've learned so much!!!! I'm sure you shoot just as good as you teach!!! Your casting is phenomenal!!!!

Who makes the buzz frog shown in your video? Thanks for another great video!

999th thumbs up!

"Bend the hooks out"…well Son I learned something new again, Thanks Roland 🙂

Is the braid tied straight to the frog or are you using a leader?

Thank you for the tips you’ve taught me how to catch bigger bass!

Taking our frogs to Kentucky Lake this weekend!
