Fat Boy
Caught this hog on a full grown bullfrog alive. Had to swim in for him, after he got hung up in the middle of the pond. Came in at 25in 8lbs.

Been watching him for over a month. He would follow the mower around the pond. Tried every lure known to man. Couldn't get him to bite on anything. After seeing a frog go in, he destroyed it. So I caught one and the rest is history. Both frog and bass are back in the pond

What a beauty. It is incredible the food they can eat. Guess you only get that big if you feed the beast.
Well done.

How did the frog survive the 'encounter?'
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

They pond is just north of half an acre. Not sure on age of the fish, the pond is 12 years old.
Sunil, SOO... I hooked the frog through the bottom lip and lightly tossed him out into the pond. The frog took care of the rest swimming around until catching the eye of the bass. When the bass hit the frog got the hooked push through and was sliding up the line. It was crazy to see but one great story. I took a picture of the frog because I think i'm going to get him put into my replica mount somehow.
