I've posted this story before about one of by bull frogs. I named him "Heart Attack". He lived on the swampy side of my 0.7 acre pond that includes LMB. I keep the grass between 6-10 inches high on that side of tha pond.

I can't remember if he was there for one or two years. But, he started with me in the early spring. I'd get with inches of him, he'd let out a loud croak, and air-launch himself 2-3 feet into the pond -- always giving me quite a startle.

One day after he had pulled his fun activity on me, I had meandered about 20 feet further down the pond edge. All of a sudden there was all kinds of commotion in the tall grass where he liked to hide.

There was a large bass flopping around in the grass. It flopped itself back into the pond.

I never saw my friend Heart Attack again.
