After the great frog bite Chris and I had on Saturday and then hearing about him doing even better yesterday, I decided to knock off early and head back to Nick. I hate fishing in the rain, especially with frogs, but it wasn't too bad. The frog bite wasn't nearly as good but I still managed around 6 nice keepers. It was pretty difficult to see the fish moving in the mats, which is how we caught several the previous days but they were still chowing down on shad. There were a few wolf packs of some good fish hammering bait around and below the grass. It was pretty cool seeing a whole section of the grass getting destroyed. With it raining so hard I switched to a Spro Popping frog and the hits I got were explosive. A few of the fish would come back several times after missing but even more were one hit wonders and never reappeared. I would have probably only managed around 12-13lbs with the best 5 but I definitely saw some hawgs that didn't want to play.
