Mike Frisch: Little things that can yield big fish
Frisch says sharp hooks, spare sunglasses and reliable lithium batteries can raise catch rates and prevent ruined fishing trips.
Recently, Fishing the Midwest host Mike Frisch observed his fishing partner land a nearly 5-pound largemouth bass after sharpening the treble hooks on his crankbait, immediately improving their catch rate.
While high-tech sonar gets attention, Frisch relies on S11 Murray polarized sunglasses to spot dense weed clumps and open pockets where big bass hide in shallow water.
Frisch rigged his boats with Millertech lithium batteries featuring a phone app that allows monitoring of charging status, preventing the panic of waking to dead trolling motor batteries.
Paying attention to maintenance habits—sharp hooks, quality sunglasses, and charged batteries—can save a day on the water, as Frisch notes consistent preparation alleviates common boat-reliability anxieties.
Including a youngster in your next outdoors adventure completes the experience, as Frisch advises these practices ensure anglers are prepared for any condition while maximizing enjoyment.
