I figured it was time to get out the frogs and start getting into some top water action (probably my favorite type of bass fishing). The weeds at my local pond were just right. Headed out this afternoon at about 6:00 PM. I was getting some good explosions right from the start but couldn't hook any. I was getting some smaller hits right along this weed line so I continued going back to the spot making the same cast. Eventually I hooked the fish. It wasn't a big hit so I knew I didn't have a great hookset on her. She jumped once and stayed on so I figured I might be OK. Then she jumps a second time and that's when I realized she was a beast. Didn't realized she spit the frog until after she landed. I was sick. Didn't even want to fish anymore I was so sick. I'm curious to hear what everything think she weighs. I've slowed the video down so you can clearly see the jump. My guess is definitely over 5 but hard to tell just how big. I think it's possible she could be 6 or 7 based on how big her girth is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xapOeggSgBM

Man thats is some good (funny) stuff,, I hate you lost that fish
looks big and you kept your cool way better than I would have,
I found if you use briad you get better hook ups with those super hooks.
LOVE THE HAT CAM.

Well at least you know shes still there.
Funny how they can spit the hook out. I do not understand it but it happens.
Your audio was good, mine would have been worse and postable...
Go back and try again, that's a good fish.
