Looks like a dandy way to catch dandy smallmouth bass, Froggie.  Nice video.  :congrats: :congrats:

Cool!  Didn't even seem to bother the other fish.

In the video it appears the fish practically set the hook himself.  When I tried it I tried to set the hook the way you normally would but the water resistance was so great that I couldn't get it set??  I finally tried jerking the rod straight back and that worked better.

That sure makes it easy to see what you are catching.

That looks like a lot of fun. Is that a special kind of reel though? Good gawd I paid $130 bucks I think for my reel a while back and I guarantee ya you'll never see it submerged like that.  :holdon:

Great video!  I've always wanted to do that, never have.
