smac024 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Went frogging today and also chased some shad boils. Biggest bust/surprise happened while frogging. First ever catch turned out to be a.....frog....giant frog I was expecting a beastly bass while tugging it through the weeds. Hooked into a few bass but only 1 other blowup besides this while frogging. At least I was matching the hatch with my frog color Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted August 25, 2011 Super User Posted August 25, 2011 Lol nice I hate when that happens and trying burning it away from them where my nephew sees the bullfrog and pitches his topwater right on its nose to catch the bullfrog. Quote
Fat-G Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Man frogs are disgusting. I would rather get bitten by a snake than touch a frog. No joke. That's gross. Quote
smac024 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 haha, frogging is hard enough at that lake so it wasn't cool catching that thinking I had a big bass. At least now I know there is the possibility of some frogs at that lake, though even the rangers and concession guy were surprised when I showed them the picture haha You are right, I was pretty grossed out trying to take the hook out then it decided to hop around the boat before I picked it up by a leg and threw it overboard.

smac024 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 Congrats on the PB, lol. PB and a probable lake record! The hunt for a real frog fish continues. Quote
zenyoungkoh Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I hate touching frogs too lol. Must have been nasty trying to unhook it? How did u unhook it lol? Quote
smac024 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 I hate touching frogs too lol. Must have been nasty trying to unhook it? How did u unhook it lol? pliers. yeah I tried my best not to touch it...it smelled. Popped the hook out and it went crazy hopping all over. Was hoping it would jump out of the boat but when it failed I had to grab it and toss it in. Yuck, not a catch I want to experience again...Next time maybe a bass will eat my frog. Tired of all the inaccurate blowups In other news, the bass in my avatar was from today prior to that. Still waiting to catch a monster but it was a great fighter for its size. Very healthy looking Quote
OHIO Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Was probably pretty funny until you had to take the hook out. I caught a frog on purpose once with a grub, but that'll be the last time. Those sings are nasty. Quote

Those sings are nasty. yeah at first I thought it was a bass obviously, then thought it was a turtle and felt bad. Then saw it was a giant frog and was just mad. Hope that is the last one. Quote
zenyoungkoh Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 haha must've been a really bad experience. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 25, 2011 Global Moderator Posted August 25, 2011 We used to catch big bullfrogs on purpose with grubs on a plain hook. They fight great on a light rod and frog legs taste great! Those big ones like that do have a smell to them sometimes though. Quote
