Largemouth BassTechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsConditions seemed ideal for a good frog bite/top water day, but ended up putting the wacky rig to work for all the keepers of the day. Co-angler grabbed a nice one (4lbs 6oz) under a freshly fallen tree. Spent most of the time targeting surface disruptions with either the wacky, frogs, or a Damiki Umpa on a BFS Setup.

No significant wind as well. First things first, we caught a TON of fish. I had 55 on my own and my buddy had another 30 at least. This lake is very nearly unfished with the ramp starting 20' from the shorline (in the water). I wouldn't recommend trying to put a bass boat in. Started off pulling several in off the pop max. Then a few with the frog. Got some with the 110SR pretty much all morning long. Basically, everything you threw would get bit eventually. It was a fun day.

A bit of fog first thing in the morning. Had a 2lb'er on the frog on the first cast and then caught the 5lb'er in the photo on the 3rd cast. Several others on the frog the entire time we were on the water as well. Caught a few on the the jerkbait, frittside, and wacky as well.
