About this listen

On this lively Fourth of July weekend episode, Michael Raffino dives into why July and August are prime time for bass fishing, even when he can’t get out on the lake himself. Michael shares his love for topwater fishing, where every strike is a surface-level spectacle! Learn about the best lures for summer bass — from the famously fun-to-say Whopper Plopper, to wake baits, poppers, and his custom-made “Whopper Plopper Popper.”

Michael also gives tips on technique, like the art of the hook set, the importance of keeping the line tight during a fight, and the excitement of lily pad fishing with soft-bodied frogs. Plus, hear a heartwarming story of helping a young angler land his first smallmouth bass.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, this episode is packed with expert advice, funny stories, and Michael’s infectious enthusiasm. Tune in for laughs, learning, and a big dose of fishing passion!
