Went out saturday over to Budda mans house over in the forest where cntry and I diagnost his engine problems for him wich wasn't good .Just before dark we drove over to a little two acre frog pond .Cntry droped his boat on the ground ,spun it around and loaded our gear up along with marcey,cheryl ,budda man and myself .Cntry then proceeded to blow down the little woods rode for a few hundred yards dodging trask piles and refrigerators and entered the little pond .We sat at the edge of the pond discussing the layout and the plan of action. We noticed the pond had grass around the edges and several floating islands of grass. It was decide that we would first lay the grass down ,Cntry took is boat and commenced to making dounuts ,figure eights,360's,720's and hoped several tree,s and logs. After about 30 minutes of this I could not handle it any longer . It might have been differant if I was the driver but riding in somebody else's boat is one thing I'm not use to ,any way I gave country a that's enough sign and he slowed down just long enough to tell me just a little more. Then with out warning cntry made a made dash to the pond edge.seems all them constant turns like riding the scrambler ride at the fair took it's toll on the engine by not allowing any air to go thru the radiator, it had run hot and I mean 300 degree hot.We cooled the engine down ,gave it a drink of water and had no other problems out of it the rest of the night
At dark we proceded to gather our frogs up and 3 hours later we had enough . We tried to gig them all but we had failed .Darn frogs kept sending in reinforcements. cntry blowed us back to and up on the trailer with our two hundred pounds of frogs. We split our giggings in half with budda since it was he that turned us on to it and we called it a night.
The next morning I called my buddy hunter to see if he was going to the run and he was .HE asked if we had giged any frogs and I said we got a few and if he would bring his cooker we would cookem and he said he would and would cleanem also . The next day after hunter spent 3 hours cleaning frogs' ,he was not very happy seems his idea of a few and my idea of a few are about 300 legs apart , we bellyed up to some fine frog legs and a big bate of fried gar fish that woody had gigged ,cleaned and spiced it up with dill , we are however trying to call it something else maybe gator fish ,any way let me get along with my story.
While talking to budda man on the phone this morning about his motor he mentioned that he had to call in reinforcements to help him clean his part of frog catch. He wasn't very happy when I told him that hunter cleaned ours in the run for us old timers.Then he asked if hunter noticed any snakes in the frogs bellys seems that the big frogs were slap full of banded water snakes and cotton mouths.One water snake was over a foot long.
After conciderable research I found that the bull frog is a meat eater and will eat anything he can get in his mouth. lives to be over 15 years old
males have ear drums bigger than there eyes while females ear drums are smaller than ther eyes.It takes a bullfrog tad pole one to two years to make a frog and bull forgs can weigh up to 2 pounds.
My wife did make a statement that the frogs we gigged were as big as little dogs.Guess cause they would howl like a dog when they got gigged. Maybe be next weekend will be more entertaining.later
