Bass Class Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Last year, I wast exploring the area around my favorite lake, Lake Terrell, WA. I found an archery range about 2 miles from the lake. According to the map, there was about 6 ponds, 1 large reservoir, and 2 smaller ones. It also said you could fish there. So i put on a frog, grabbed my tackle bag, and headed out. The first pond was about 1 half a mile from the parking area. As soon as my first cast hit the water, the water seemed to spring to life. Wake from all directions came in towards the frog. Then a couple of huge heads appeared next to my frog and one of them took it. So i dragged it in and it turned out to be an absolutely huge bullfrog. It had completely swallowed the frog whole. I removed the hooks carefully so i wouldn't damage it. If you were to stretch the frogs out they would easily have been a foot long from the tip of the head to the feet. After catching a couple more I moved on. There were so many trails there that I had to just guess where the large reservoir was. Well, I eventually found it and fished it for an hour or so. I never ended up catching anything besides the bullfrogs that day. The water at the large reservoir was so full of cover, and i don't see how i didn't catch something that day. But, if anyone has ever caught bullfrogs on a topwater frog before, please leave your experiences in the comments. Bass Class 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted June 29, 2013 Super User Posted June 29, 2013 I've had bullfrogs go after a black Spro frog before. They came charging right out of the weeds after that bait. I switched to a green tree color, and the frogs left the Spro alone. Quote

Super User AK-Jax86 Posted June 30, 2013 Super User Posted June 30, 2013 That's crazy a frog eating your lure I can say that I have never caught a frog before using my fishin pole Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 30, 2013 Global Moderator Posted June 30, 2013 We used to fish for them on purpose to get our frog legs. A small, weightless plastic worm drug across the weeds or along the shoreline where you see them sitting will catch tons of big bullfrogs. I've caught plenty of them on my Spro frogs while fishing for bass. The worse ones are the ones you don't see until they jump on the bait because you can't pull it away from them and they always seem to get hooked. Quote
