Sounds like fun. My brothers and I use to keep all the creeks around our home town giggid. Been many years but still love frog legs fried up good and crispy.

I see two tasty morsels hanging from his hips. Love them frog legs soaked in egg and rolled in flour and pan fried, great stuff. I remember when I was youn we had a pond behind us called the frog pond the farmer raise them. One evening we went back with our flash lights and whacked them over the head. I think we got we was my neighbor and I got about 20 big bullfrogs took them home took the legs off skinned them and fried them up, great stuff went to bed with a belly full of frog legs. Every was great till I got up ant took the garbage out to the burn barrel and there were legless frogs crawling all over everywhere. I was young and a little upset I was running around with a belly full of frog legs and there bodies where crawling around in my back yard. Just a little something that came to me when I seen the bull frog Jeffrey seems like I reminisce about everything.

Going out tonight for some early season Bulls....tadpoles are everywhere so the eggs have been laid.....Just need about 20.....

You're right Tony, they can be wiped out....We take advantage locally when the rivers drop which pulls good numbers out of the marsh.....Bullfrogs are abundant in many of the swamps and great to eat Derrick.....I don't break the skin when I go for Bullfrogs so as to not cause infection/disease in the event that the frog escapes.....

Around here, big bullfrogs are pratically non-existent. A couple of nights with a bright light, a gig, and a gunny sack, can wipe em' out. They seldom recover after that, at least not in my neck of the woods anyway. There's a daily limit of 25 here in Indiana, but it's been years since I've seen, or heard, that many on one BOW.

you kidding frog legs are good.

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on December 2, 2011 at 3:28pm

Frog legs are not for everyone but I love them. I actually prefer what I call "yearlings" which are quite a bit smaller than this guy.......I have harvested hundreds over the years and looked forward to a treat each time....
