I was 6 years old in California, fishing a private lake. I couldn't throw my jitterbug very far with my old spin caster. There was a sunken rowboat close to shore. the stern was submerged close to the bank. bow was above water. I crawled out on it, and started casting and retrieving. on about the third cast, as I lifted the lure from the water, a giant green and yellow frog sprang out from under the bow at my feet, through the air at least 3 feet and popped that Jitterbug. he musta weighed 2 lbs. It scared the [censored] out of me. I dropped my pole, crashed through the muck and moss, got to the bank, and ran about 100 yards. Then I sat down. Thought about what had happened, and had a good laugh. I went back and got my pole, The frog was gone.
