Just watched for the first time. I wish my local waters held fish like that (I live in Middle Tennessee). Anyway, just a suggestion; don't jerk the Whopper Plopper, just retrieve with a consistent tension and the bottom treble hook shouldn't present a problem. Or, move up to the next size Plopper - they're just as effective for Smallies. Tight Lines!

The awesomeness of watching massive smallies destroy the whopper plopper is the best feeling in fishing! You have a certified arm but that first one looked like 20 :)

How's it going Mr. Mike? He might have been 20, he was a good one. The tagged fish that I caught this week was 18.3 in March, and I called him at 17.5...so I missed him by a good bit. I don't want to claim the coveted 20 if he is not on the mark. Saturday, I had 2 smallies hooked up at once on the WP60, and when I tried to get my camera pointed towards them, I let one of them off. I've never done that, but I can't count it. Tell Reece hello for me, and I hope you all have a great week.

I going to keep fishing with it, now that you say that. I do fish it a little differently...I almost fish it like a popper, or kind of like "Walking the Dog" at times.

Now I tend to over think things...so take that with the shaker of salt! 🤔😂
