Here is one more clip from last weekend. He missed the frog initially so I casted a slow sinking bait as a follow up right on the grass line he came out of. What do you guys throw as a follow up bait? This coike is quickly becoming a favorite.

Today I had the pleasure to fish with Bryan Key on the famous Lake Toho. We got together around 6 am and fished until it got too hot for the fish to be interested. Many fish were caught and here are a couple of pics and a highlight video of Bryan calling out BLat!
Thanks to the community and the round tables on Thursday nights for being a catalyst for me to meet another member of our community. We are already planning another get together.
Here is a trimmed video of a frog fish I caught last Sunday. There is a debate on whether you should set the hook right away or give it a second to feel the weight. I like to give them a second before cracking em. Are you guys quick hook setters or do you let them eat it a second?
I feel like if I explain the context, it will be better to understand what I am asking.
I broke down a lake before my league night. I had never fished it before and I rigged everything for what I expected to be and felt confident in the night before. As it turned out I was correct on gaging what I needed. However, I felt a little overwhelmed with how I was fishing. I really felt like I wasn’t “downloading” the information as effectively or efficiently as I could. As the week went by, I felt like I needed to start with a baseline to gauge what I would need to correct. Return speed, depth and plotting my points of attack.
So my question is do you all have a plan/baseline when you’re fishing? What does something like that look like. What are the things that are most important to you, that start out with that stay consistent and adjust over the period of time?
Obviously technique will dictate a lot.
