Well I been fishing my buddy's pond lately and he has an infestation of bullfrogs and some nice bass! \:\) Anyway I was watching these bass rush up to the bank and smashing these frogs and decided to try a Zoom Brush Hog tossed onto the bank and then popped into the water. True enough it worked and I caught about 12 LMB. They run up and smash it as soon as it hit the water near the bank.

I was having so much fun when on one cast, as soon as the lure hit the bank, this huge bull frog jumped up and grabbed it before I could pop it into the water. So I set the hook and hauled him in. \:\) Must say this is my first bullfrog on plastics. I was grinning so much I forgot to take a pic.

So anyway, anyone know the best way to catch these critters? I'm visualizing frog legs sauteed in ginger, green onions and garlic. \:\)

or put a small hook into a whole nightcrawler and you can actually fish for the froggies like my buddy Brandon does.

Went last nite with a flash light and armed with my 14 ft crappie pole and a red clouser minnow. \:\) Fun! Managed 3 good ones before the mosquitos got too bad. What a hoot! It was my first time and it was quite enjoyable. Let them all go. I like this way better as you can release them unharmed. I'll wait another month when they're much bigger and I might keep a few for the pan.

Funny post. Me and sinko24 were at his pond and I was throwing a bull ribbit. I noticed something kept moving around in the grass. I figured out it was a frog. Sinko24 threw a jig in front of it and it ate it. We got a pic of this one. Its on his cell phone. I'll see if he can get it loaded on here. First frog I ever seen caught on a lure.

This is one time the fly fisher may have it best....a long fly rod and some small insect imitations are irrestible when dangled in front of a big bull frog!!! They fight better on a fly rod, also.

Its interesting to me that you are finding the frogs in a LMB pond....the only pond I have with Bull Frogs is one that does not have any LMB in it....they love frogs!!

I use to catch them when I was a kid by dangling a mepps spinner in front of them. I use to call them stupid frogs when i was a kid. The trick was to get the frog to stay still long enough for you to dangle it in front of him.

It's fun to catch them at ponds in the summer when there is some moss growth around the edges....just toss a plastic worm on top of the grass mats and drag it across. Those frogs will inhale a soft plastic.

Use a long fly rod and dangle a hook with a small piece of ribbon in front of them. Hang on.

I have caught a ton of them it is a blast the best thing that I have found is just a plastic worm with the hook just barley exposed and they will nail it about 98% of the time! I bet I have caught a few hundred of them that way in the past 2 years! lol
