Topwater Frog Fishing Ft: Billy Hines 

I've learned more the past month watching your videos than ive ever know or been taught my whole life. Keep the videos coming I'm going to frog fish these Michigan inner lakes

Excellent video. Glad this popped up in my feed

If I wish Billy had more input on this one he's a legend been doing this for decades good 2 thumbs up

Great episode! Loved hearing that Pantera in there too. I'm getting better with my frog. Once I switched to a stiffer pole, I started getting better hookups. It really does make a big difference,

I had to try a frog for the first time after I saw this video and I've never been more pumped to land a fish theres a clip of it in my latest video.Thanks for the tips on modifying the frogs came in handy.

Super sick boat! Thanks for the tips, can't wait to save some money up and buy some frogs to fish. I haven't caught anything on my new bait caster and I hope to soon.

this is the most informative video on frog fishing i have seen on you tube

Thanks for the great info man , ....... Love your show and especially all the in depth explanation ... Guess that's why you picked such a perfect name for the show ... IF ... IMO it's Priceless Information for the fisherman .. even for us guys that think we know what we're doing ! Thanks again ...

Thanks Nick.. Your videos are always great and make me laugh at the same time... The frog bite is on!!...

Great video. Nothing beats top water for the big guns and frogs are a favorite for that. I'm fishing a lake now that is so weed choked most anglers aren't even bothering to try...I'm gonna work a frog and try to prove them all wrong.

Were those docks the ones at the Oroville laugh ramps? What are some good places to fish on the delta? My grandparents live in Discovery Bay and grew up just fishing from the dock. Stumbled on your channel last week and love it! Getting back into fishing so all these vids are really helping me, keep it up!

I just got into hollow frog fishing it's a blast and a good arm workout for sure!

Hell yea, really enjoyed your video. It was even better seeing the frog I use on this video. Most of my frog fishing comes from the canals in 105 degree and hotter weather. Thanks again for all the advice and information. I emailed my fellow frog fishing buddies the link...Tight lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lot of good tips, but would have liked to hear the guy who kept getting cut off, always good to hear 2 perspectives on the same day!

Here In NH the water temp is from 47 to 56 degrees depending on rain. I still frog fish bass just cant stop themselves from chomping them. Love late fall bass fishing !!!

Hey nick, great vids..love frog fishing..here in asia, hop/jump frogs are more populary used for snakeheads. you might try it on bass too..thailand makes a lot of those handcrafted jump frogs..

just started and I started with the Stanley Ribbet over mats and a 2.5 pounder blew up on it and I nailed him! But I was using a 6'6" med. hvy. and still stuck him! btw great video

I use a heddon topwater bee looking thing that has wings. It is the color of a bullfrog and by far the best topwater I have used. Rivers ponds reservoirs it always pulls out large mouth smallies and warmouth in ohio. Heddon!!!

Love the video and love your channel IF I have learned so much. I have a couple questions are you all tying directly to the frogs and does it matter what color of braided line to use or not really?

Hey nick, awesome videos everytime! Is there anyway you can cover the types/names/"how they look" of grass, weed, mats, and etc. out there in the delta?

Dude you are awesome... I love your videos!!!

Once again, awesome vid and I love your job :D

Nice vid, learned some good tips, and way to slay those SLOBS at the end, that dock catch was sweet xD

great video but I use 20 lbs power pro braid and it works fine.

Im probably not the first to say this but i think it would be badass if you got together with the tacticalbassin guysout on clear lake or something and just threw giant swimbaits.

Love all your videos Nick, but you GOTTA do something about your hat bills!...lol

Lot of fishermen complain about missing bass on frogs. I only use frogs where other lures cannot go. This means I don't have any other chance to even get those bass except with a frog. So, even if I miss some, so what. I still put myself in a position to get those extra strikes where no other lure can go anyway. So, it's a frog or nothing. Even when missed, it's still exciting just getting those top water hits. The other thing is many of those bass will stay put after a miss, that's why they are in those particular spots to begin with. So, you can often get multiple attempts at hooking the same bass. We threw our frogs maybe 30 times in to this one area. Missed strike after missed strike before finally pulling two of them out. It was pretty fun.... them vs us!!

Love the videos bro they have helped me especially with stripers still struggling with dinos but either way love the vids bro

I always use white belly on cloudy days, never in the sun. Think about the fish looking up at a super bright sun, white isn't going to stand out much. Black will. I use white on cloudy days however

Great video, but i can tell someone loves to talk! Can't wait to try this frog bait next time i'm out fishing

hey nick you should make an episode fishing in a kayak

I just got the Lews Mach 2 baitcasting combo, in which consists of a 7ft. Med. Hvy Rod, and fast taper, along with the reel which consists of a 7:5:1 gear ratio and a 10 ball bearing gear system, my main question about this is about top water..would I be able to fish top water lures such as my booyah pad crushers, and etc. around Spring, Summer, and Fall?????

Hello Nick as always great video,I have let used a frog to fish bass but I am surely going to pickup a couple to try out,If I may ask why do you have a face scarf covering your face if that is what is called?

Good info... really appreciated it

Who heard Cowboys from Hell in the background at 31:50 hahahahaha I love Nick

I really would've liked to hear more from ur guest....felt like u spent a lot of time talking over him.

Awesome video! Alot of great info and great blow up footage!

Another good video.

what tips do you have for someone who shore fishes in the northeast and loses alot of frogs

Are you tying directly to braid or using a leader?

gotta HORSE those fish out! great video. frog fishing is my favorite

What kind of a snag proof was Billy using?

Kinda new to fishing, but I've become comfortable with a jig, and I was wondering why you would use a punch rig over a jig? Is it just cover?

what color do you recommend for fishing Clear Lake, CA? do you try your frog all day long or?

you guys are awesome

I'm not catching any fish on any lure. I am connecting the lures on the spinner hook thing . Not directly tying the lure to the line. Does that make a difference? Thanks

Hey nick where can i buy live bait like anchovies in san francisco?

I got a 7'6 heavy rod for swimbaits however i dont fish swimbaits alot so would that rod work for a frog

where are you fishing?

Can we get some different episodes I feel a lot of bass episodes are in the future

IF IS A LOUD TALKER. Can hear him echoing haha. Good good voice

you mentioned a pause but it appears all of your retrieves were steady

I was shore fishing today, and the guy next to me caught a 21.4 pound carp with a frog

thanks. this helped

is 30lb power pro braid on a spinning reel braid ready spool good for topwater application

huh, I guess lil jon does rock and roll now......lol

Oh my god Money by Pink Floyd at the beginning :D

AWESOME!

what would you suggest to have the reel brakes (number wise on the knob 1-10) on a Baitcaster when fishing with a hollow body frog?

Keep postin vids dudee

Fish at BMW many times for big stripers

That's one lurer I never ever have luck with all others I have good luck some day maybe

nice channel, subscribbed

Awesome!

I like frog fishing i like when the bass jump

Apple makes fishing poles now huh?

would 40 lb braid work for a hollow body?

Hey man I fish at bmws all the time

Nice Hat

Why would you use a 7.1.1 gear ratio when a lower gear ratio has more torque to bring that fish out of that heavier cover that it might run into. P.s. I know a 7.1.1 can pick up line faster than that of 6.1.1 or anything lower than 7.1.1

50 POUND TEST!!! I use 8 to 12 pound test.

When frog and tadpole start chirping it frogging time

how long the fluoro carbon?

what line are they using ?

The reason most people don't take risk is that the lure cost.

Billy is a large mouth bass destroyer

You ain't dealing with snakeheads - yet. Here on the east coast frogs catch snakeheads better than bass.

I'm Mann's super frog old :)

How can fishing for bass with 50 pound and 60 pound braid be any fun? I will stick with my mono 8 to 12 pound and actually have fun fighting the fish. You're just roping them and yanking them in.

The reason it doesn't stick is because it's "snag-proof" lol

I got a bass at a pond that has took my frogs every time always snaps it and he hits it and snaps I am using 50 lbs pline what is happening

He's a commercial

Isn't 65lb braid a bit overkill? I use 20lb and have never lost a bass in heavy cover. Also why do the pros always feel the need to dress like a stock car driver even when theyre out casual fishing?

IF, you have really good guests on your videos but you need to let them speak. Everytime he is about to say something you cut him off. And you do that for alot of your guests. These guest can provide helpful information as well and maybe teach you a thing or too. This is coming from someone who is a big fan of your videos and hope it continues to do well. Just fyi.

i hate how long your videos are

Firdt

u guys woke up the entire lake I'm not hating but jezz tone it down

Lol horsing fish around like that is a joke no sportsmanship at all.

Yahoo's + fishing = Lots of yelling, noise and mishandled fish.
