I've tried most all forms to catch or kill em. The .22 to the dome works well but they are so nervy they may still jump after they're dead. If your near deep water this is no bueno. The best method was about a two foot long mesh net on the end of a pole. The end of the net has a rope attached that you hold in your left hand. Slowly come over the top and drop the rope. It works!

The frog will home in on the vibrations more than they will the colors. We would cast out past the large eyes out in the water and fish it slow topside until we got within a few feet of the target frog. Then we would stop the retrieve and shake the rod tip just enough to make the grub vibrate in the water. The Frogs would home in on the vibrations and swim in for the attack. We used a large 5/0-7/0 wide gap worm hook with a large 5" curly tail grub worm on a spinning rod set up. The spinning rod was easier to cast than a baitcast for what we were doing. It was a heck of a fight with the big ones too!!

I've done all the ways mentioned above and the best by far is using a good gig. When we go out and catch one hundred frogs we usually only miss a few (depending on how much keystone light is consumed) because they are so easy to catch on the gigs. The worst way is shooting them with a 22. I'm not sure if y'all are shooting them on land or in water but every frog I have shot with a 22 in the water sinks like a rock. That being said, it is very hard to get close enough with a gig unless you are in a boat. I have tried to walk down small ditches and use the gigs but the frogs spook probably 50% of the time it seems like.

Hunting license is required since frogs are terrestial vertebrates. Fishing license is not required.

Caught thousands of frogs growing up in Houma, La. We used the claw/clamp type devices due to the "breaking skin" rule was in effect back then. We use take a file or grinder to that device and get it working like a hair trigger and little bite over center to grab better. After some time we got them working good......most major problem we ran into was rookies setting off the hair trigger clamp before a frog was in it lol
