Went up to lake late Saturday determined to put Andy's teachings to work and do some damage with a frog or two. No such luck. Had a couple of blowups, and probably missed one because I didn't "give him the business" when I tried to set the hook. Live and learn. Lovely weather, probably better for taking pictures of early fall foliage than catching bass, but i did manage to put a few in the boat - 3 largemouth and one smallie, pound and a half up to 2 1/2 pounds. Although the frogs didn't work out, I did catch the 4 fish on 4 different baits - a suspending jerk bait, spinnerbait, soft swimbait, and whopper popper (in my favorite color - monkey butt). Also landed a decent 18" pickerel.
