We Found an INSANE Topwater Bite in Africa! (25+ Bass on Frogs)

Chris and Uncle Lenny take on one of South Africa's premier bass lakes with nothing but a prototype Bass Mafia Cannonball Frog and a pile of horny toads! The bite was absolutely on fire—20-25 chunky 3-4lb bass smashing frogs on the surface and subsurface all day long. We're talking filthy blowups, fish chasing tilapia through the pads, and some seriously angry post-spawn bass. Along the way, we meet Rudy and Arnold—locals who camp out at the launch helping fishermen in exchange for gear and food—discover abandoned gill nets full of dead tilapia (and free a live one!), and dodge crocs and hippos lurking in the shallows. Lenny drops wisdom on toad fishing, Chris loses a 5-pounder, and the locker room banter gets out of hand. South Africa's shallow flats are the real deal—if you love topwater chaos and international fishing adventures, this one delivers.
