who's done it? back in the day i used to keep an aluminum boat in the back of my truck while i was working and going to Tech. Didnt think anything about going frog GRABBING by myself. Of course now I'm much smarter and I realize im not made of steel, just bone, meat and fat and there are things out there in the swamps that wouldn't mind a feast that would last them until winter.
I haven't done it at least 30 years. But love it.
Well, if you go, don't forget to take along your off road commode.

Good old Memorial Gym
Is it surprising that their website has a disclaimer that reads: "Not intended for use while vehicle is in motion"?
one dark night in a pond in the middle of bean and cotton fields in Bastrop La I had two experiences. one we were coming up to a frog with me on the front of the boat. he was sitting on some grass and i reached and grabbed him. when i brought him up a water moc came up through the grass right where i had just pulled my hand from. The other, we were coming up on a frog on the bank and were closing in. when i got about 7 feet from the sucker i saw something out of the corner of my eye. it was another moc and he had the same idea. sucker struck the frog and got him before I got any closer. thing is, where there are a lot of frogs, there's prob gonna be alot of snakes.
wading beaver ponds is another thing. water snakes like to come up and be your friend when you're carrying that big light LOL
somebody told me a story about giggin in a rice field one night, and they shone their light around and snakes were everywhere around the boat. They got the shivers and lit out for home.
we used to go froggin in the dugdemona swamp in winn parish. lots of frogs and lots of snakes. on at least 2 occasions that I can recall, we had mocs fall out of overhanging limbs and into the boat. talk about some quick feet!
I remember a few nights where we would catch 30+ blue/channel cats, a couple of nice ops, and 30+ frogs. good memories.
