Back when the family tank stayed full it was loaded with bullfrogs we'd catch em burning top water buzz baits thru the pads. It is lots of fun, but we let em go in hot grease.

Thought i'd have a lil fun and continued workin worm towards me and the frog kept darted too. Got a wild hair up my butt and twitched the worm rapidly...frog lept out of mat and slammed my worm and went to the depths. By instincy I set the hook and the fight was on. Frog kicked hard o course and gave me a five minute long battle. Harder than any bass including my PB 8 pounder and even a bowfin i caught last summer. Finally got it to shore and couldnt grab it cuz it was kickin...frogs have sharp claws BTW! Hook was deep in its lip and it was a pain to unhook. I've caught many snappers and it was harder than any of them. Miraculously the frog was ok and jumped back into the water. My hook was bent, the barb had been ripped off, and the worm was cut into bout five pieces. If you ever have the chance to hook a bullfrog...TAKE IT!!! Best catch i've ever had!


I agree! Most fun you can have with a fishing pole!!! I was fishing on the pier at Shirley Creek on Rayburn one night. An older man in a bass boat pulled up and asked if I wanted to go fishing. He didn't look too threatening so I said sure. To make a long story short, he taught me how to catch bullfrogs off of the bank that night using a 6in black worm, Texas rigged. Just remember tho, in Texas, to harvest a bullfrog caught on a fishing pole, you will need a valid Texas HUNTING license. This was explained to us by the game warden at the boat ramp. Luckily I had one!

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.

Went night fishing a couple of years ago and fishing a ledge and above me was an overhanging ledge out of the water and thats where i was positioned. (underneath that overhanging ledge)

Well a couple aparrently walked down to the lake and very noisilly started shagging up there on the cliff...it was a weird feeling.

Didnt take them long, then they zipped up and left.
