Bullfrogs article

[BURLEY]

I remember the last time that I went frog gigging  was 1960 in Arkansas with my dad and brother. We were spot lighting from a small john boat. We attracted a large Cotton-mouth water-moccasin to the light. It kept coming even as we paddled away. Dad had to end up gigging it.  Snakes were a common thing to see since they were hunting frogs also. In the summer of 1961, we moved from Arkansas to Promontory. There were 3 small farm ponds there that had bullfrogs where my brother and I ( age 11 & 10) harvested many with bow & arrow. We did a big Southern fish and frog fry for the neighbors. Two of the ponds had rainbow trout, but my family didn't like the flavor, so we served bluegill from Twin Lakes.
