There is a strong possibility. However you fish out there long enough, you can ID the fish before the strike. Gar is easy to ID. Mudfish sometimes. There has been no documented cases of snakeheads out in the glades yet, but if they catch your frog, you probably can kiss it goodbye. 

Yea, since there are snakeheads in this "Swamp" frogs aren't a great choice. When you lose the plastic, all you have is a pair of hooks left!

Thanks, i didn't notice the post count. The scenario you are describing is not far fetched. But once you threw the snakehead in the mix, it became a game changer. In my baits defense, there would not be many baits that can withstand too much snakehead punishment.. lol

I've seen what damage they can do. I haven't ever caught one myself, however. The ponds i fish don't have them and i have trouble finding them in nearby small canals

Yeah snakeheads can be found in areas of Broward County. The snakehead that I know of,  has not been reported in Dade County or in the Everglades. Since you mentioned in your scenario Everglades, that counts the Snakehead out, but the bowfin its cousin is very prevalent and  native fish for the area. 

Rage craw you can do anything with it

a pack of assorted hooks, and I would find worms and insects to catch baitfish and then live line em....game over...

I agree with BassHunterJGH little Johns are EXTREAMLY durable in fact it seams like all spros are durable... Just my opinion:)

i would use a crank bait

I'd fish a rapala floater jerkbait because the max depth is 4 feet so I'd be able to fish it fairly thoroughly. I'd take the front hook off and just fish it with the back hook so when i caught enough fish and the hook in the back got dull/damaged i could put the one from the front on the back and get more fish out of it. then when i felt the hooks were both dull I'd sharpen them on a stone. I'd have enough fish to last until I got rescued. lol

Genius idea!!!

Genius idea!!!

thanks haha

but will the gar and snakeheads rip the frog?

I didn't hear any restrictions on mend-it!

Probably a Rapala Original Floater in a smaller size like an F7 or F5 even. Bass love it, Im sure the toothy fish would jump on it as well. And the bluegill never seem to get bored slapping the bait. That would be my choice.
