It feels like cheating to catch bass on Lake Okeechobee with a topwater frog like this! I’m practicing for a big fishing tournament on the lake and this is the first of a few vids capturing the experience running up to tournament day. Pre fishing, looking for bass, testing lures, it’s all here and today was an insane start! The frog fishing was on fire! I even caught a HUGE bass on my modified mag ned rig casting to sticks and isolated cover in a super shallow bay on the lake. These are all just pieces of the puzzle for anglers and the process is about building confidence and executing on tournament day – catching the right bass to take away the win! Aside from all that tournament fishing provides a great sense of community and you get to meet the diversity of anglers on the water, learning throughout the entire process.

Go hookless bro. Nice find though!
I used to throw a black 3/4 oz johnson spoon with a little bass pro shop irradecent blue side black belly plastic trailer. Just a little one to match the fry. Parallel that heavy edge and work it just under the surface. Absolute gorillas crushed it..
Had many a great day on the big O.
