Mornin' Mike, welcome to the Forum. Thanks for filling out everything correctly. Did he give you a pretty good fight?

I was bass fishing with a 5" stick worm once, when I spotted a bullfrog on the bank. I thought I would tease him a bit and dangled the bait in front of him. He swallowed the whole damn thing!

Sure did, that tongue wrapped around and wouldn’t let go. Just prior to that caught a bass and while reeling in large snapper turtle grabbed the back of the bass and would not let go, had to hit with a stick to release.
Bass ok, catch and release.

That’s what I was doing. The food chain is an amazing thing that unfolds while out in nature.

Got one for you guys and true. MY RIGHT HAND TO GOD TRUE. In the late '60s I found an "about" 10 acre lake on State Land in southern Michigan that was over-loaded with Bull Frogs. 5 of us, 2 with M17 K-22s + 3 with 22 Rifles harvested about 500 frogs as close as we kept count while wading around the perimeter of that lake in waist deep water on Saturdays for about two months. The interesting thing was that of the ones that were looking at us when we shot, 2-3 out of 5 had NO ENTRANCE HOLE. I went back to that lake for a few years for the next 30 years after that and their was not one Bull Frog on that lake ever again. And we stopped harvesting them after 2 months for fear of depleting them. The only thing that makes sense is that they migrated somewhere that we never found them again, Jer

Thanks Pal. I had a flash back the minute I saw Mike13's picture. Too good not to share. We even got to where we could see the differences in 2 year old and 3 year old plus frogs because of the size difference. We never took 1-2 Year old ones. Left them to breed for all the good that did, Jer

My son used to catch bullfrogs on the bank while we were fishing from the boat on a pond. He used a soft frog lure and would just pitch it over on the bank a foot or two in front of them, wiggle it a little, and they would jump right on it. Never really figured out if they were trying to eat it or ....
but he caught a lot of ‘em that way during the heat of summer. We would laugh till we nearly fell outta the boat !😂
