The "FROGmen" are fishermen who are seriously fishing the FROG, and have committed to helping others by contributing photos, observations, tips, experiences, or articles to help communicate what they have learned about fishing the FROGs in their own fishing environment in hopes that it might help others to have confidence and success in their own pursuit of bass. |
Chris Burke- Maryland FROG Fishing Reports
Click here for photos and Maryland FROG Fishing Updates
Those who have visited my kayak fishing site: www.floridakayakfishing.com are probably familiar with Chris Burke. He has had many adventures while fishing the Designer Bass FROGs™. He has also caught many bigger bass. Last fall he caught a bass over 7 lbs in 56 degree water in the state of Maryland on a Pickerel FROG. This year he had a monster bass estimated at 10 lbs right up to the kayak while fishing a Tropical Splendid Leaf FROG imitation for the first time. Chris concentrates his efforts on ponds with clear water so they can see the FROGs well.

| Hey Ken, Its Chris Burke from Maryland. I finally got to use the FROGs I bought from you today, and all I have to say is, "WOW". The bass don't just hit these things. They eat them. I used to love those Spro frogs, but they sink so you have to fish them soo fast and you get a lot of "hits" off them in the summer time but when the fish hits--- it immediately spits it. Another thing with the Spro frogs, the fish tend to go airborne. I guess because they are moving soo fast. With your FROGs, they grab it and go straight to the bottom. Its amazing. I can't wait till next spring when their really hitting top water. And if you have some time Ken I have a couple of questions about mounting a fishfinder to my Malibu X13. Thanks, Chris Burke |

Cleve Worthington- Vermont FROG Fishing Reports

Cleve Worthington is going to be lots of fun to follow in his development as a Designer Bass FROG™ fisherman. Cleve and his sons were "live frog fishermen" for years. They would hook their FROGs through the lips similar to my Bass FROG lures. They have had great results over the years fishing from a small john boat with paddles instead of a motor in order to maximize their stealtthy approach and to allow their craft to glide through the vegetation toward their hooked fish. These guys know what they are doing on the heavily vegetated waters of Lake Champlain and their local smaller ponds where they fish for largemouth, smallmouth and northern pike. They just started fishing with the Designer Bass FROGs with one of my personal FROGs, since my production backlog prevented me from getting them their FROG order in time for what's left of their summer. I sent them my favorite personal FROG Clown Tree FROG to hold them over until their order coul be completed. They had to take turns using it. But I will let them tell you about their first experience out using it.

Keary Mattison- New York FROG Fishing Reports

Keary Mattison has been a gourmet collector of my FROGs since I started to sell them. He is about the same age that I was when I started to make them, and he is just as enthusiastic about them as I am. He was one of my first FROGmen. In addition to big bass, he also catches some big pike, and he doesn't let the harsh winters up there stop him from fishing even through the ice. He is off to a great start fishing the FROG for some awsome bass. Check out this Lake Champlain beast he caught fishing along an offshore weedline.

I made a custom painted California Red Legged FROG for Joe Agrillo. Joe likes to fish the Califonia Delta which is known famously for Big Bass and frog fishing. But, Joe went out to test his new FROG in a local pond first and caught this beauty in 15 minutes. Personally, I can't wait to see what he does at the Delta.

Dave Flegal- Georgia/South Carolina FROG Fishing Report

Dave Flegal is one of my first customers ever with the FROGs, and he is probably one of the FROG's biggest fans. He doesn't get to fish that often, but when he does get to go fishing, he catches a lot of bass. He is the only person I know that has ever worn out a Backbone Loop Pin that holds the hook and the legs on the FROG. But the thing that amazes me most about Dave is that when his house recently burned down, he called me all concerned about whether he could get a new FROG to take on his vacation. And when his new house was built and he had to move in, before unpacking the boxes, he headed off on another vacation to fish the FROG at his favorite FROG fishing location. He sent in this mini article to share complete with photos of the sweetest looking FROG fishing water, some even sweeter looking bass, and a bunch of hints and tips of how to fish the FROGs in his favorite Bass FROG habitat. I have to admit, I don't even miss the lily pads.
