A fun day of topwater action kayak fishing for angry river smallmouth bass with Walmart’s budget version of a Whopper Plopper, the Ozark Trail topwater prop bait! Will it catch fish like the Whopper Plopper does?

Those casting skills. Straight sniper.
What is your anchor set up and manufacturer? Great video, yes the Ozark bait works and Thx!
The precision of his casts is something to watch. He has such control over his rod
Are you left handed or have I been fishing wrong all these years lol I always reel with my left hand
I got a prop bait recently and I figured you would js reel it in at a constant pace, but when I looked it up this one guy said to kinda jerk it every few seconds or sum like that. But this guy is doing it the way I originally thought to so now idk. Also Iām bank fishing if that makes a difference (and I js started fishing a few weeks ago)
what part of the state are you in you should at least say that, annoying !
Yea I could just set here and listen to you talk about nature while you paddle down and just let that plopper just plop in the background lol the fish thrashing is always a nice touch tho!(ozark trail could be a good backup)
At 15:40 fish was like ācome at me, bro!ā
That first hit was incredible! I've never caught a fish top water, looks fun.
The bone colour whopper ploppers are money when it comes to enticing fish to strike
Been having to work a lot lately but it never gets old watching you wack those chunky bass!!! Keep the videos coming
I tried the temu version of the Whopper plopper at a local city pond. After fishing for about 5 minutes I was told this pond did not have any bass anymore. After working my way around the pond I had caught five bass not bad for a really cheap lure.
A st Croix rod and a walmart lure…???
This is the Bob Ross of fishing… happy little fish
where is he fishing at like what state
that was quick nice smallie
What lake or river is this? Iām 2 years late though
wow whoppers have shot up in price, no wonder walmart made these. and i thought $4 a piece for the whopper ploppers i got a few years ago was crazy high…
*I think you meant the Ozark Trail Plopper is $8.49 at Walmart.
You get a worm friend
It's the coolest lure ever
i love those whopper ploppers but they always seem to break.the tail will stop spinning after 100 casts or so
If Mr Rogers had a fishing channel
Beautiful fish nice job
Bogisich Shoals
I got that same exact one and a few others off of Amazon and I have caught some big smallies with them so you should be good bro
Never spin properly for very long
Buy a Berklely you wonāt regret it . These and the Chinese Amazon ones are awful
I'm sitting on my couch with my legs propped up and that first vicious bite scared the you no what out of me. Don't know how you keep a steady hand with those kamakazi smallies.
Thatās a hell of a strip of water your in. Wow š š£. A day of awesome fishing š£ like u did Iād say that was worth $5
what of time day were you out?
you sound like bob ross
Never had any luck on that trash Walmart brand, but Iām not nearly as good a fisherman as some of yāall lol
Your videos are so relaxing I get to watch them multiple times bc most of the time I doze off to sleep and I donāt remember what I watched
