True Story.

True story, the craziest thing just happened to me today.

I was fishing with a plastic frog in some lily pads and a freakin monster bullfrog gobbled it up. I swear this really happened. Do bullfrogs eat small frogs??

I was fishing pool "10" on the Mississippi River a couple of years ago with a "salad spoon" Had a blow up and set the hook. A 3.8 lb. bull frog weighed on a digital scale. Frog legs are good eating.I have a photo of the frog but I have to find it. They probably eat 1 lb. bass.

wow man that is crazy. i bet it was awesome to see that happen thou.

if bullfrogs were as big as german shepards,humans would be endangered!

they will attack anything which resembles a worthy meal! i caught one so big in my early teen years on a snag proof frog that barely fit inside a 5 gallon bucket..fished a lily pad cove that i would run down to as soon as the car pulled into the cabins,cast the frog out with high hopes of a huge bass from reading the old snag proof mail order ads in the back of field & stream magazine. was so proud that i caught it,grabbed a bucket off the dock at the vacation house and showed it to my dad and neighbors and they were stunned at the size of it .. :jaw-drop:

Wow, I had no idea. I've been fishing since I was a wee little lad and never had that happen. I'm surprised it's so common.

Ive caught more frogs with weedless frogs than fish.

Nice. I tried to get him all the way in cause I wanted to take a pic, but alas he let go right at the bank. I thought it was a fish at first, sure fought like one but as he came closer my mouth dropped. That sucker was huge. After letting go he came up to the bank a few feet down and sat there as to mock me. Actually I saw him go after it again but he didn't grab it.

I've had it happen several times. I try to pull the bait away from them when that happens but a lot of times they won't let go. I used to fish for frogs all the time when I was a kid in the little ponds that didn't have any fish.

my fatherinlaw caught one with a spinnerbait in a pond while I was fishing with him.

I caught a few when I was a kid on floating broke backs. They are kind of a nuisance when they won't leave you bait alone. They get there feet caught in the trebels and it's a pita. Snapping turtles can be the same way and it's tuffto get hooks out of them.
