Was out fishing early this morning. Grass was coming up all over the place
so time to fish some topwaters, and what better than a horny toad.

I wanted to cover a bunch of water and did so casting the heavy toad. A huge
explosion near the pads and a hook set, resulted in no fish. The fish had
the frog but it was way out there and the fish came off.

I was fishing 8lb mono but again distance was the reason I couldn't connect
with this fish. Any advice for hooksets at greater distances, or should I
just not be casting as far? Braid would not have made a difference, or at
least that's what I want to believe

Randy,
What size hook were you using???
I have had some hookup problems with 2/0 Gammie EWG's. Larger appear
to work better on HT's.
