How to Retrieve a Topwater Popper 

Well said.

Glad that helped man!

I use my second cousin.

Practice

Same here . 40 years old and nothing beats the OG Hula Popper

I've taken to using the San Diego Jam knot for terminal knots, myself. I weirdly have an easier time tying that one than a palomar, especially with thicker flouro (15+ lb test).

It’s a good bait for that. George Cochran won a cup doing exactly that.

Who said I didn’t?

absolutely!

You should really not throw your trash in the water man. You can do better than that.

Why should you

Yeah it just sucks for this in my opinion

Go ahead and use it! That’s just one more thing I have to carry that I don’t use regularly.

Sure! If that’s what you have use it!

Read the title

All line sinks.

@@BrianLatimerFishing idk why but that was funny a guy tryna tell the brian latimer what hes doin is wrong 😂. Big fan ur an inspiration to all my fishing. Keep up the good work b lat

Id say it helps the “bloop” sound louder. But if your tryin to finesse and you dont want all that noise i guess it would make sinse to use a mono liter cuz it seems to make a lighter “bloop” with mono

@@BrianLatimerFishing In fly fishing with monofilament we used a three part 'mud'. Using one part cake icing glycerine liquid. One part kitchen washing up liquid. And one part Bentonite clay (which you can buy in packets). It's used as a base for those cosmetic facial treatments and things. That rich folks always have. We made enough of this mucky paste. To store inside of a small cosmetics jar or container. That would fit in your pocket. And rubbed some on the monofilament leader. It gives the best of both worlds. A buoyant leader material that was stretchy. And using the paste applied on it. It would break the surface film. So as to be invisible too. It's particularly useful at night, when there is moonlight cast across the water (the wrinkle in the surface film from monofilament makes a huge light refraction). That can be seen underneath the water in early dark mornings. Or late at night. I'd even recommend it on fluoro leaders too. All leaders get grease on them, which makes them repel water and float. Using the muck or paste, you break the surface film immediately. Baitfish feeding on insects. Rise and jump very infrequently on the surface. Could be every thirty seconds. So very slow retrieves can work well (that is where you want the leader line de-greased). For really slow retrieves for large mouth. It's recommended by some, you smoke a cigarette between retrieve motions of the top water.

He is right about the braid wrapping the hooks though

Did you report it?

No I did not but I will try to. A little late now this happened last week. 1st notice grammatical errors in the text when I asked how to cleam the prize they wanted me to Cashapp $60 and send a screen shot. This is the cash app name Clinton Eugene Lee

What “all that equipment”?

@@BrianLatimerFishing ,? Well I don't see you sitting on a log.
