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?

Fishers of Hope, Tony Watkins, will be holding a Bass Boat, biggest 3 bass, tournament on LAKE LANIER on August 1st to help me out with my 2 grandchildren... I'll be a co-angler in it too.. its a 50/50 benefit tournament with 50% going to prize money and 50% going to help me with the children. If you're in the area and love to fish Lake Lanier, meet us there. There will be a weigh-in and food vendors and all kind of stuff going on from what I understand.

Landed my pb smallie, 20 incher and caught a 19 in on one or two casts after this one. Seen some tiny minnows being driven into a rock sticking out of the water on the bank. Wounder what was causing that to happen?! Tossed the squarebill that way and fight on!! Didn't have a scale with me but both were in the 5 lb. range. Fun bite!

Went to a new lake today, It is close in size and structure to the one I will be fishing this weekend so sort of a Pre Fish. Lake Blue Cypress is likely the prettiest lake in Florida. Fished for about 4 hours, found a lot that did not work, They would not touch a shaky head or Carolina rig. Went to an old standby, EZ Swimmer (Actually a Bitters Naked Swimmer, but same idea), rigged Texas weightless and retrieve so it stays on the surface and also letting it drop in openings in the grass. Ended with 3 scorable bass, total weight 7.63. I am sure Mack would feel right at home on this lake, Surrounded by Cypress trees, and Gators big enough to eat his Kayak.
