Thanks Neil! I'm from Florida and am used to seeing lots of frogs, but even there I never saw ones this big. They are pretty cool! I will be looking from now on!

Bullfrogs can get really big, and they'll eat just about any living thing that they can get in their mouths and swallow. Nice spotting.

No, I was lucky, a nice lady pointed them out. Otherwise I would have never seen them!

Nice! Did you go hunting or did you hear him and go searching for him? I've never looked for them here...we had leopard frogs galore in MN...they were fun to catch...nothing like this monster!!! ;-)
