This is where your experience really shines through. And the exact reason I subscribe to and watch all your videos. There's no telling how many countless fish I have hooked up on just from the knowledge I have gained from watching you and Tim. I don't think you realize how many father-son fishing trips and tournaments you and Tim have made better by the information that both of you share on your KZfaq channel. Thanks

I have been soaking up all of these videos on frog fishing. From how to walk one, to these simple tricks. I grew up a fisherman with my dad, but we did very basic old style fishing if you will. Find a cove on the water at night, bait up some minnows and drop straight down the side of the boat. Then after fishing all night, in the morning we would troll with a swim bait at a slow pace with the lure behind the boat in tow. It wasn't until I was an adult that I started learning about texas rigging with plastic worms. Learning buzz baits, swim jigs, crank baits, and now frogs has been a blast. Frog fishing has become my favorite style and I haven't even caught my first one on one yet. LOL. Thanks for the videos guys.

Matt, I've been bass fishing 40 years, and I STILL learn so much from the vids you and Tim present. Most informative KZfaq channel on the WWW.

Best frog video ever.

these are so simple but I can attest to how much they work!!! great job brother

Top water is my favorite way to fish. Nothing more exciting then getting that rush of the bass smashing the frogs or poppers. Enjoy all the tips you guys bring us!

Great tips! Love the rattles & boiling tips 🐸

I am an Argentine fisherman, I love your videos! I commented that here we use many frogs because we have a fish called Tararira that has a very tough bone structure with teeth, you can imagine that the frogs last two or three bites if it is well taken and captured in shallow waters and with vegetation. This type of modifications helped me a lot in my fishing style, thank you very much, it continues like this.

You guys never fail to lay down the facts! I think I have officially watched every video or close to. Thank you for everything you guys do!

I throw a frog way too much. So much so that I'm quite weak with most other techniques. I just can't put it down. Those blow ups are worth catching less fish to me. Just a blast. hoping to become more well rounded this summer.

Instead of shoving rattles and weights into the hole where the hook exits the frog, I take a razor blade and make a 1 centimeter cut in the top of the frog, put my weight(s) or rattle inside then heat up a case (butter) knife and seal the incision. Works great and you don't compromise the integrity of the hook exit hole.

Never tried before to boil a frog, i'll do it for sure! Kind of a super pro-tip! Keep doing quality contents like this, I really enjoy your practical approach! Greetings from Italy!

I have to say, without a doubt... Matt & Tim have upped my bass game hugely! I’ve poked fun in the past ( ego ), then, started actually listening to the FREE advice these guys offer. I put Matt’s summertime “shadow” theory to test yesterday at DVL, So Cal, ( desert lake, few shadows ),

Can't wait for the summer and fish frog baits

I throw three pointed .177 lead pellets in my frogs, it adds a tiny amount of wait to make it cast easier and sit on mats a little better. Ridiculously cheap and extremely effective.

Thanks for all of the tips .....

The split shot advice is literally going to be game changing! I am constantly missing bites in heavy cover because they struggle finding it properly!

I like the bully wa ii for the same reason. For all the other ones I pull the hooks out, wrap some thread around the line tie to keep water out of the nose, wrap hooks shanks with braid making it one solid hook, then add red heat shrink around the braid past where they come through frog ( the the r2s frogs have ) and poke a hole between the legs.

Heading up to Clear Lake and Berryessa in two wks looking for my first frog fish, thanks for the tips!

Following your tips by put some sinkers in the frog body make a whole new different....the snakehead is much more aggressive bitting my frog...thank Matt

Great frog tips. I needed a reminder on adding split shot or rattles, seems like I have forgotten that trick,

New to bass fishing, just started throwing a frog. I am hooked on the blow up, but yet to get one on the line yet. Will try again this weekend. Thanks for the tips.

Matt, you are the man. Thanks for helping me remember some of the frog rigging tips that I had forgotten about. Maybe I can get some more hookups now. All hail Matt. All hail Matt.

I just caught my first frog fish on Monday. Nice 4lber with the most vicious strike I’ve seen this year. M favorite it booyah pooopin frog. It walks really well for a pooper frog. I’m definitely gonna try the rattles this year. Something different that stands out.

Can't wait to go fishing with you guys next year I'm booking a trip soon, see u on the water guys

all the tips in this vid are going to save me this summer

I don’t think you understand the amount of hype when I hear “ hey guys Matt allen here, welcome back to tactical bassin! “

Thanks for the tips. I just started 🐸 fishing on grass mats and along them from shore. Caught one so far. I will immediately try the split shot 💡.

July 2020 just got my first frog fish. I’m taking these tips to the water tomorrow! Thanks boss

Thank you for telling tips

Simple and effective tips, thx Matt!

Matt, your instructional videos are ++

Matt I Love you bro your such a good genuine person 🤙🏽 fish 🎣 life

Another awesome way to catch a few extra is to hold it under water let it fill up or get an old non floating frog and walk it under water around sparse clumps of grass it works great for the bigger ones that may not want to hit top or if a fish misses the bait on top

I like to use a sharpie to put little dots and shapes on the under side of the frog I think it helps break up the frog and make it more natural with out sacrificing visibility

That Underwater shot though....Another great video Matt and TB Crew!!

Very interesting modifications. Great video! Will have to try them!

I never know about boiling frog to soften it. Tks for the tips

Every time I open my comment field to ask for clarification on something it seems like it’s the very next thing you say, so I’m just going to comment anyway. Love the channel.

Great! Matt, maybe you or Tim know? Will mend it repair tears in torn frogs?

Love these style of videos

Great video my man. Love the top water action!!!

Once again more game changing tips from the "MAN"! Genius!

Great tips Matt 👍👊 love it!

Awesome video, love watching your guys vids helps me a lot on what to go buy and want to do to modify my baits. Could you guys start on what are some good summer baits and ways to fish them because some places I fish some of the fish are done with the spawn and post spawn

Another sick video fellas!

Just remember when boiling your frog to soften it to start with cold water. If you put the frog in boiling water he will jump out.😉

Great video Matt, awesome tips

Awesome video. You never mentioned if you use the 55 or 65? Thanks for the content, always learn so much!

Great video as always Matt

Great tips! Love frog fishin

I like the boiling water idea. Gonna try it tonight and try not to get it mixed up with the spaghetti dinner.

thank you

Another great and informative video. Thanks

Thanks for the tips Matt!

Great video.

What's your guys thought on the R2S Ish's fat mat daddy frog?? Little bigger profile and has an optional rattle, but basically the bully WA2.

Anyone try a megabass big Gavot? Or a koppers live target frog?

I put in one or two splishots depending on size and I use beads from the hobby store.

As always great stuff!

What about frogs that sink/take on water if they are new? I have a spittin wa that I haven't even caught a fish on yet and the thing just sinks. Would you just use super glue to button up all the holes except for the drain hole?

First video I saw on my tacticalbassin binge watching and it is ironic because I stuck a pretty good one tonight ( breaking an almost 3 week fishless streak). I"ll have to try adding rattles as lately the water has been stained.

Good stuff thanks!

Can you review the st. Croix legend bass crankbait rod

Have you tried the Stanford Baits Boom Boom Frog? Also, it'd be awesome if you guys did a frog video in heavy cover only! I'd love to see your tips/tactics.

I swear I'm getting some serious Deja Vu from this video lol Also just want to add if you can't get the rattles locally BB's work pretty well as a substitute.

Wow, even Kermit the Frog would be impressed with these tips!! Good stuff, Matt!

How do you decide between using white or black? Arnt they kind of showing up the same underwater?

Thanks bro helps man

Can you do a video explaining Mag rods? I've heard some people say that they're slightly stronger* some say they're lighter*. I'd like to hear your guy's take on them. * referring to the backbone strength of the rod

Any tips on how to bend them king daddy hooks?

Hey I was wondering if you could help me at all. I’m fishing a lake that is really deep and clear and I keep having giant bass come up to the top of the water and just sitting there. I had one 6 or 7 pounder follow a 4.8 inch Kaitec in but never committed. I can’t seem to get them like this and I can’t get that many bites any other way because the lake has no structure so it’s tough to find where they are. Also I’m fishing from the bank so I can’t fish the middle. I got a 68 special rof 5 gizzard because this winter I saw big gizzard shad washing up on the bank (dying from the cold) I haven’t tried it yet but I was wondering if you could tell me where to fish with it since there isn’t any structure or weeds or if there is a lure that works for getting the bass at the top. Also f it helps top water hasn’t worked there for me and the bass sometimes go in groups of 3 circling the lake.

great tips. Thanks.

Great video matt! Can you do a video on braided lines?

You guys rule

A buddy just turned me on to your channel. Boy have I been missing out. Been bending out the hooks and trimming legs for years but never thought about adding weights, rattles and heat treating. Great job guys.

Free advise continued... 99% of the strikes, fish lost, and fish landed were in the tightest of of shadows! Amazing! I actually caught 3 times more bass than the professional guide on the the lake that day! Moral of my story... Humbled, listened, applied, & modified Matt & Tim’s lessons into my own style that has proven to work from high pressured reservoirs in California to Center Hill lake in Tennessee. Thank you both for your passion and knowledge.

Matt what are some tactics for fishing submerged vegitation. All my lakes have it almost to the surface.

All good tips but I would like to add a few comments.... The trailer hook will kill walking the dog action in open water.. On the King Daddy, I prefer to put lead inside it even if fishing open water. That thing floats to high in the water straight out of the package and you will miss a lot of strike because it's so buoyant. not because it's to big. The weight will not kill the walk the dog and I've added up to a half ounce. The King Daddy looks huge but it really don't "fish" that big

Great info once again! Thanks tacticalbassin

Legit stuff, thanks.

Hey guys. You recommend the Curado K HG over the XG? Why?

does a swivel impede walking a frog ??

What color Bully Wa has the chartreuse belly? It’s hard to see the belly on Tackle Warehouse

how much does that trailer hook really increase the hook up ratio by? Does it really make huge difference?

Any tips for getting good at bait caster

Can anybody vouch for the fact that spro frogs are notorious for having stiff bodies??

Is a extra heavy rod necessary, I run a medium heavy for most of my bass fishing. I'd like to try frogs out but I'm afraid I'll snap my rod running through the weeds.

Awsome tips thanks for the help

Got the Dobyns Fury 735 for this exact technique 👌Matt, do you ever frog with a soft plastic option like a power bait kicker frog?

I sometimes boil my frogs and it makes them a Lil softer

What is does mag heavy mean on a rod? Only my second season bass fishing and haven’t heard or seen to many people using it.

why would they make the legs so long then, if we all have to later cut them off. Is there a technique or a situation where you might want them to be longer?

What do you do for short strikes? Also how do you feel about the Booyah toad runner?

Anyone crimping split shot onto the hook rather than putting it in the body ?

Looks like your complexion is clearing up, less red. Home your doing alright.

Great video like always Matt. I have a question what speed reel do you recommend for frog fishing. I fish smaller ponds with alot of logs,brush, and lay down. I am looking at purchasing a 7:1:1 Is this a good one or do I need a faster one. Thanks!

Have they made a video on soft plastic frogs rather than hollow body?

how long should i boil this frog for

Hi! What gloves are you using here?
