Frisch: My best season yet?

Mike Frisch called the 2025 open-water season possibly his best bass season, drawing on his role as host of Fishing the Midwest and co-founder of the ZEBCO School of Fish.
May through early July Mike Frisch fished walleyes and traveled to many walleye locations, then from mid-July onward he fished local bass lakes within a half-hour of his home late afternoons.
Relying on two baits—a half-ounce Hack Attack Fluoro Fippin Jig with a Rage Craw and a Hybrid Hunter crankbait—he often used a 'dropping a jig' pattern around coontail weeds in 6 to 12 feet.
He recorded days with more than a dozen bass while holding the boat in one spot, catching many good-sized fish including over-sized bass weighing 3+ pounds.
Frisch said the past summer was good and he is eager for 2026, pointing anglers to https://fishingthemidwest.com after well over 50 seasons of experience.
