I've taken an awful lot of bullfrogs with one of those!
Dang, now I'm hungry for frog legs, haven't had them for quite awhile!
As kids, my younger brother
and I often went went 'frogging',
at least once a month through-
out the summer, sometimes with an airgun, sometimes with a
.22 cal. rifle firing 'shorts', depending on location ! Most
of the time, we'd just use a short rod with 4-lb.-test mono tied onto a #8 or #10 bait-keeper hook !
We'd attach a small, red-flannel
patch onto the hook and dangle
it in front of their face until they took it in like a fly or other flying insect ! Detach frog, reset bait, repeat until our creel or container
had enough bullfrogs to make a decent meal of 'frog-legs and
fries' ! About 2 to 2-1/2 hours
was usually all it took to gather enough to feed us both ! Best
part was, it would thoroughly disgust our sisters once they
knew what we were eating;
for two mischievous young rascals, it just made our meal
that much more enjoyable !
