So great to have some one actually teach technique! There’s a lot of YouTubers telling you what and where to fish, but most don’t tell you how. Thanks IKE!

What a mustache my friend. That is 100% commitment

Frogs and jigs are my go-to “big bass baits”…not only because they’re stupidly effective…but I like just chucking them into cover with reckless abandon knowing that they’re gonna come back out. The weedlessness inherent with hollow body frogs really makes them among the best shallow water tools in a bass fisherman’s arsenal.

Man i wish i had this guys energy, such a beauty.

Thanks for taking the time to actually teach this method. I struggle with walking the frog consistent back to the boat or dock. The throwing the slack in the line is super smart. I plan to try this tonight.

This is by far the best tutorial video I have seen. Short to the point, clear and concise. I will be surely taking these pointer's to the water! I use a 7'2 M/H rod only because I am bank angler and always run into situations where rod hits the water if I use anything longer.

Someone gonna come up in a cove and see me talking to myself saying "twitch, reel, twitch, reel., "

This is the only video I have seen that explains this technique comprehensively. Thanks for the great content

man is a fishing tutorial, better listen up!!!!
Thx for sharing your Knowledge with us

[masfishing]

Thank you for showing us how to walk the bait. I got the twitch, reel in my head now. Easy to remember.

[e.cabanjr]

Thank you! You are definitely a great instructor who shows a lot of enthusiasm. The detailed instruction is what a lot of us non-pros need. I'm looking forward to practicing that technique.

[briansherrill]

Been using that technique for a few years now with frogs. HUGE difference on the amount of hits I get. And thanks for talking about the rods and reels! I always used a heavy rod, but am going to try on the MH.

Ike, I am a total convert. I've subscribed to several fishing channels over the past year. At first I wasn't sure what to expect from yours (yes you have that reputation of being a bit crazy lol). After subscribing and watching several videos I am COMPLETELY sold! There are dozens of channels out there where the guys go to a private pond and catch loads of fish while making it look way too easy and explaining nothing about technique. There are also many videos with a lot of small talk that has nothing to do with fishing, or with tips that I've heard 1000 times before. Your videos are the first I've seen where I truly feel like I'm learning directly from a professional who is telling me things that most people (maybe even many pros) don't know. With almost every video I feel like I am getting a true gem of wisdom. Everyone should take note of the fact that you are putting thought into these and revealing truly professional techniques, rather than just spitting out videos. Not only am I learning, I'm now a true fan. Thank you and keep up the great work. It is greatly appreciated!

Without doubt the best teaching video on how to walk a frog and I am sure it would be the same for any other topwater bait. Thanks IKE.

Frogs are in the box. Let‘s get started with professional instruction. Your fishing buddies from Hamburg/Germany.

[offiefugate-eikv]

Mike I Love your tips and teaching and it's really helpful .thanks a lot. You're a really great fisherman and have always been a big fan.

I use a 30 lb green braid because most of the water in Georgia is merky. This technique helped me actually catch something.

[chrismash]

Thank you so much for this video. I just couldn’t figure out how to walk a frog and have been looking for a one that explains how to walk a frog. This is by far the best video I’ve found.
