Rojas, who is widely regarded as the best topwater frog angler in the world, denied earlier reports that he was catching big smallmouth bass on his signature bait.

"The first day, I caught every bass sight-fishing," Rojas said. "Today I had to completely change what I was doing. I caught them all deep — 9 to 20 feet — on a drop shot rig."
