Rana catesbeiana or Lithobates catesbeianus
Aquatic frog native to North America http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullfrog
Likes larger, permanent bodies of water, swamps, ponds and lakes where it is usually found along the edge of the water. On rainy nights it travels over land.
I spotted this bullfrog tadpole in my koi pond. He grew to be a very large frog over several years. He's the largest tadpole I've ever seen.

Yes, I have an image of him all grown up that I'll have to post.
That's great he stayed in your pond!
