Vicious August Frog Bites on the California Delta

whoa oh there's a giant [Music] so that's always a good sign good morning ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the channel today we are out on the california delta on kind of a rare august morning it's actually a little overcast a little cloudy no rain unfortunately the drought will continue i'm guessing but man conditions are looking real juicy right now yeah as far as the plan for today's video i've mentioned this time and time again probably one of my favorite styles of videos to to upload to to do is just a day of fishing out on the water show you guys uh how we do what we can figure out or can't figure out just to add a little flavor a little uh spice to the video we're gonna be weighing on the scale best five bass but we got a bunch of baits that i think should work i think this is looking pretty top watery first thing in the morning but then we've got you know the frog the punch chatter all that good stuff for the california delta in the summertime enough talking let's get fishing weigh our best five today probably spend about seven eight hours out here hopefully it's a good day come along we'll see what happens whoa oh my god he got it oh dude i thought that was a dink i'm not even gonna lie that wasn't a half bad one i thought that was a dink i had two and a half three pounder on the popping frog i let him have it at that time at least can't see i didn't wait for the hook set oh we got that one gosh can't weigh this one i hooked him super weird sorry little buddy oh god old popping frog how in the world did that fish not get it i'm mind blown right now i'm seriously mind blown how'd that fish not get a hook in its mouth i am seriously baffled man i let that one have it too i thought they were eating it better kind of eating it funny right now [Applause] freaking delta oh there we go that'll get your heart racing jeez strong dude coming all righty we can weigh one sweet kind of fooled us with that frog first thing thinking the frog was gonna be our jam but i think the choppo only a couple of casts it took to get bit so we'll take that as a sign let's try the two pounder i'd say two pounds all right squirble weibo fish number one on the chapeau god it makes you wonder how many fish you maybe went by just because you were throwing the wrong bait oh man it's like immediate as soon as we change over baits we get bit oh little dude quick release thank you yep that's chapo chapo morning gotta maybe wait for that sun to peek out before we bust the frog i don't know just mix it up who knows oh dude whoa oh got it that time i was looking at the little otter thing yeah small one one downfall of messing with a gopro all the time oh there's a little striper but whatever jeez little schooly striper right there okay how does this not get bit you got to be joking me that's just a tease right there oh there we go finally keeper maybe a keeper man he sounded big and they just slurp it like that they sound big darn it oh there we go oh no biggins are supposed to be biting in these conditions this is a rare overcast day that means the big girls are supposed to show up oh my god why are they missing this thing what is the deal with you dudes today man oh man i freaking i swear to god every time i do like these challenges these weight challenges i i'm on the struggle bus that's a keeper i'm like 99 sure yeah 12 and a half number two when it's like 10 o'clock not expecting that 15 ounces giant i mean i'm sure part of the reason they're not eating it that good is because we are getting a lot of you know little ones biting it but man i don't know what the deal is [Music] let her sit unintentional that's not going to keep though get up on the bank oh that's better same spot what the heck that rarely happens where you cast back in and you catch one that's a keeper another 15 ouncer one three number three what do you think guys three for three third fish over there ty's moving out good now maybe that'll just help our bite my god i knew there was going to be one right there god i feel like that was a good one too there we go there we go i don't know what's up with my reel the drag loosens on its own there's a chunk they're eating the frog better now oh my god two two there's a fatty two two number four starting to eat the frog better all right number five there's a limit that's a fun bite though one six ah number five one six that's what's weird is i feel like the topwater bite has gotten better as the sun has come up you know fish are strange creatures you just can never really predict them my god dude it's too much fun and i don't think that's gonna call that'd be close but it's not worth it dude this little popping frog is getting these fish so funny they're getting the bait now earlier this morning cloudy they just weren't eating it good they just need a little sunlight i guess there we go yeah all kind of clones i want to call it's going to be a small call 1-1 i thought it was a giant for a second that gets rid of our 15-ouncer dude they're crushing the frog chunk oh getting super trigger happy let's get that fish got him that time a little guy coming up for seconds here's the spot we've been calling our shots where these fish have been setting up two clumps of tules right in between them where there's some exposed bank see every single one of them little guy i think but still a fish you should have been coming back huh we're on this side too i thought they were just on the rocky side as a little dude man they're all small over here apparently oh there's a giant where's good call so funny dink dink dink dink all miss bites and then big fish of the day and he choked that i would say nice one i thought it was bigger of course i thought it was bigger three one finally got a three pounder nice one i knew we'd have to eventually run into a big one or a bigger one oh my golly that was a good one what in the hay wow [Music] alrighty guys man oh man that was a fun day of frog fishing out on the california delta that bite is so fun just can't get enough of it but before we recap today's day of fishing i want to introduce you guys to a product that i think is very applicable to the kayak fishermen and women out there and it is the chirp back wheel so one of the drawbacks of kayak fishing is we tend to sit a lot and i'm sure if you kayak fish before or kayak fish a lot you have some sort of back pain or soreness after a long day and what this product is designed to do is reverse all those negative effects on your posture on your muscles from a long day of sitting by promoting extension so real easy to use lie on the floor you line this up with your back you roll onto it and if you guys have had back pain or back issues from you know sitting or anything really you've probably looked up on the internet or researched a lot of exercises that involve spinal extension so extending the spine back and this is exactly what that does you know i compare kayak fishing in a way to truck drivers i mean ask a truck driver that's been driving for over 10 years if they've had any type of back pain and i'm sure the answer is yes and most likely it's from those long days long hours prolonged sitting i've been fishing since 2012 and i am getting older a little more soreness i have to pay attention to my body a little bit more stretch a little bit more one thing i do like about this product specifically is it has this small canal portion of the wheel and what's nice about this is when you line this up with your spine you have these little bony prominences along the center of your spine called spinous processes they're sharp and you don't want pressure on those this little concavity reduces the pressure on the spinous processes and focuses pressure along the spine onto the muscles that tend to get sore i will add one little thing from myself i would say that this in combination with hip flexor stretching are probably two of the most important stretches or postural exercises that you can do if you sit a lot hip flexor stretching you don't have to use a product you can just use a chair basically lunge forward stretch that hip flexor out you can do a slight rotation at the end of that stretch which might help a little bit more so i know that i'll probably be kayak fishing for quite a long time and if you don't take care of your body now you get tight you get poor posture that's just going to lead to a bunch of other issues probably limit your days on the water so chirp back wheel we've been fortunate to have them give us a discount code so if you guys click on the link in the description you can use greg10 for 10 off your purchase but yeah let's go on to the day of fishing this guy right here the pop and pad crasher this was getting throttled you know we started out the morning thinking it was going to be just a crazy good top water bite it really wasn't when the sun came out when i thought the bite would get tougher it actually got better the cadence today i think was really important in the action of this frog we were going like a twitch twitch kind of aggressive snaps with the frog and that would just chug that water and those fish were annihilating this thing i think for our challenge though we kind of no we got maybe nine pounds for our best five but who cares catching fish on a frog when they hit it like that all day i mean you can't really beat that but yeah that's the video for today as always i thank you guys for coming along hope you enjoyed it and i will see you guys in the next one [Music] you
