Way to go Cooch.Never seen that before.

I've caught a few frogs before. Frogs are really aggressive eaters.

You may need to rig a stinger hook to that toad rig. Do you pitch it or ribbit?

I know a good taxidermist.................

Nice catch Cooch! Dont worry, I caught one about 2x that size on a buzzbait once

frog on frog crime has been up..

Nice toad Cooch, that is a catch of a lifetime

Cooch was just catching the bait for your outing....very similar to catching mackerel before going Tuna fishing....now where's picture of the bass that ate that toad

Dood..........that takes talent

Very nice

Ya better save some of that for the snag proof tourney!

Now that's funny!!!!!

Cooch..........How much did that toad weigh?

Once put on my official scale, it was actually a "Teener" Gary, as in 18 Kilograms! LMAO!

Ya know, the beauty of this River when frog fishing, is ya never know when that next blow up is gonna occur. And this particular frog, acted much like a typical spring bass looking to bust somethin' thru the cheese. It's really too bad we couldn't have captured it on film, cause right up until I swung and flung tha toad 30' away and over the boat, we really thought we had a Barrack like stalker after that Perfect frog! It was classic, and I don't remember laughing so hard for 30 minutes straight!

I'm gonna submit that pic to the chance above for a fishing trip with Roger Craig! It's why I love fishin', ya just NEVER know!

Better watch how you phrase the weight...If the DEA doesn't pick up on the "Buzz Word", the local Methal Islanders will!

Cast it back out. Live bait!!

I got one about three times that size down here at Barrett Lake a few times on a frog too. Once, after letting it go and it swimming back to shore's edge, my friend casts to it as he'd never got one before. It ate his frog, then after release he ate it again when same friend threw at him again. Real smart ani-mules that species!

How many bass did you get over how many hours with that pattern is my question?

One of the first of many, not that I target them, from a few years ago when I first started 'frog fishing':

If the frogs are this big and crazy, how big are the crawfish in the Delta? Lobster anyone!

When I was younger my mom would take me striper fishing in the delta, and wed get some HUGE crawdads pullin' on our bait, some of the biggest crawfish I have ever seen!

Good come back. Those scales popular tools around town

You know that frog gained 3-4 Kilos on the boat ride back. lol

Are you kidding??? That frog gained 3 or 4 kilos from the time it came out of the water until Cooch declared its' official weight!!!

Umm....one kilogram is approx 2.2 lbs, so Cooch's toad would be...lets see...about 39.6 lbs
