Hopefully the photo comes through. First cast. I couldn't believe it. Anyone else ever experience this happening?

I've had bullfrogs go after my frog in the lilies before, but I have never actually hooked one.

You need to re-title this topic, "Caption this picture".

• "I knew I shouldn't have had that last tequila."
• "I'm tellin' you, she was HOT!"
• "Newest member of the flying Wallendas"
• "That's what I get for thinkin' with the little frog."
• "How am I gonna explain this one to the wife?"

bassh8er reply : 

You must not have casted near one very often.

 

we used to target them with scum frogs to get them for supper.  They will literally eat anything you throw next to them.

I once caught one on a scum frog that had a red-winged blackbird in its mouth.

venom reply : 

Caught one on a senko last year, overcast and landed the senko on the bank.  Saw something grab it but had no idea what it was til I got it next to my canoe.

"hamma" reply : 

got one on a torpedo cast next to lillies once, put it on a weightless hook and caught a 5+ with it.

ClackerBuzz reply : 

yup, it's easy to replicate every year in June/July/August.  work ur frog close to the shoreline where they sit and get out the hot sauce.

Darren. reply : 

Can't say it's happened to me, but hey, that's
quite a catch!

Dogmatic reply : 

Yes, just the other day, and almost everytime I fish a hollow body frog. They're very territorial.

iiTzChunky reply : 

YEA actually had one hit my pad crasher a couple weeks ago. As soon as he hit and I set the hook I said that's not a fish and reeled him in.

Ratherbfishing reply : 

It's hard to keep the frogs away in the spring... and they are faster than you think.

i once had accidentally cast over a tree branch with a rat and was yo yo'ing it up and down trying to free it when a frog (which I hadn't seen prior to this) leaped up vertically about a foot to try to grab it.  Fortunately, it missed but it scared the begezus out of me.

Oufb90 reply : 

We used to go just for frogs with a small piece of red cloth and a treble hook from an old flat bottom boat.

mrmacwvu1 reply : 

I used to take my fly rod to local farm ponds and dangle a fly in front of them

Nothing beats fresh frog legs

Bankbeater reply : 

I cannot throw a black frog on one of the local lakes I fish.  I soon as I start working the bait back in the bullfrogs will come after it.

---

RB 77 reply : 

Yes. Frog on frog violence is real!

---

J Francho reply : 

Yep, anytime there are bullfrogs around.

---

S. Sass reply : 

Not I but I am just now doing some frog fishing.

watermeat reply : 

I only recently discovered this, but yeah frogs can be super aggro. Here's a good vid of big one going after it.

Jd_Phillips_Fishin reply : 

Only once, but I don't use frogs too often.

---

NYWayfarer reply : 

I was watching a Dave Mercer Facts of fishing episode on You Tube where he had the same thing happen. A frog ate his frog lure. He was wondering if the frog was hungry or frisky.

---

Chowderhead reply : 

Yes, just recently while shore fishing.  This guy was very aggressive - just wanted to destroy the lure.

---

Bluebasser86 reply : 

Catching frogs on frog lures is very easy. They're aggressive and dumb as a post. I've caught them on purpose, released them, then caught them again with the same bait right after being released. 

We used to target them with a grub on a aberdeen hook at ponds to get frog legs. It's a fun and easy way to catch them.

blckshirt98 reply : 

First time I fished a frog was on some moss beds at a tiny local pond that was full of frogs.  First cast as I was bringing back a huge toad decided to follow my frog as I hopped it along the surface.  Didn't let him catch it and eat it because I didn't want to hold/unhook it but it was definitely stalking the bait.

---

Jonister reply : 

Sometimes I'll ride my bike down the road to a canal and fish for frogs. Once you find them, you will soon realize they will eat anything, including bare hooks. They usually aren't hard to find.
