I’ve been using the Berkley Chopper. For me, I found that the Green Frog color works best in the early morning hours and the solid Black works extremely well starting at sunset. I just purchased a minnow color, so for I haven’t had any takers. Gonna stick mainly with the Frog color. Overall, it’s my goto first lure out of my tackle box before I ever go to a crank bait.

Nice video

Top water bites on Whopper Plopper is explosive and fun! I use this lure fishing from a pond bank as well and have a lot of fun with it in clear water. It does tend to get clogged up with grass or catch other material in the water. Still, the Whopper Plopper makes for many exciting strikes! Many sizes and colors from which to choose and try.

I rarely just reel it in. I'm 90% using it like a tiny torpedo. Short quick jerks and I catch lots of fish.

Whenever you feel like it.

Hi Randy - I might have missed it, but why do you have a saltwater hook on the back of that Whopper Plopper?

Do you think the Googan Squad Revolver is as good as the Whopper Plopper? The Googan version has the spinning part in the center. I wonder how much difference it makes?

Good video, thought that was on your worst list of baits from 2022 tho

I love the WP esp the 130. Bass & pike love em even more than I do! I know that on the heavily fished waters Randy fishes what he says about these is likely very true but on the less popular rivers & small impoundments I fish in Michigan they’re still extremely effective… no tournaments ever gonna be held on places I fish! The 90, however, has not ever done as well as the 75, 110, or 130 as it doesn’t have the same sound maybe?

In another video you say the only topwater lures you use braid on are the whopper plopper, walking baits and frogs. Here you are saying you use flourocarbon on the plopper. Confusing at best.

Buzzbaits produce soooo much better, for me

Too bad they don't work anymore. Used to be like a cheat code for catching 24"+ bass...now its a dead lure.

Pretty dumb comment fish are all different they do no get used to that sound lmao

Why would u use ridiculously expensive fluoro for a topwater? 🤨 fluoro in general is so overrated....only line I've seen that will randomly break, in no certain area of the line...doesn't have a controlled stretch..more it's used, the weaker it gets...unless it's changed out continuously, it's not worth the $$$...UNLESS, u get it free, unlimited like the pros who change it out weekly....

This is one the most overrated lures ever. Does it work ? Yes, But is it better than a spook or popper ?No And when you consider the price , this lure is not worth all the hype. I say this as an idiot who has about $150 worth of this lure 😂

I found it worked for a season or two and then its success dropped off, i even trolled with it the odd time and caught the odd fish lol.
