I to live
and die
10
think for most guys, there is a lot of mystery with fishing a frog, kind of like there is with fish- ing a swimbait. it is the kind of bait you can’t go into half-heartedly. When you commit to it, you either live or die by it and it will vary from day to day.
HERO OR ZERO
There are days where you will land 20 frog fish. You will truly be a frog hero. There are others where they will jump over it, behind it, kiss it, miss it, swat it, slap it and slurp it, but never take it down. Those days you plummet to a frog zero. it happens to the best of us. That is fishing and it is definitely frog fishing.
MISCONCEPTIONS
often i hear fishermen talk about their frog days and i have discovered way too many anglers think that a frog should only be fished in heavy cover, or cheese. That is not the case.
