Just saw this, i guess it is the benefit of having it be 200 yards away....can't hear the tons of frogs. The few that survive daily around the pond i find to be pleasing to listen to, and the splash of an LMB night-feeding on an american bullfrog is just plain awesome.

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
