Best way to catch a bullfrog?

[One Poet's Garden]

Hey, folks,

Now I don't mind the leopard frogs ... I kind of like having them around. And the local green frogs, and the spring peepers, etc. But bullfrogs are another story. Not a fan of someone who wants to eat my fish. And today, I heard that telltale deep THRUUUM coming from the lower pond.

So please tell me your favorite ways to catch a bullfrog. It's a liner pond, so I'm afraid tridents aren't allowed!

Best,

Bill

A long Pole with some flexibility, like a fishing rod with about a foot of fishing line tied to the tip and a brite color small crappie jig and a flash light, dangle the jig infront of it's face

You might try a game net (common fish net on a pole) and a head lamp, so you don't have to hold a flashlight. By netting at night, you can see them, but they can't see you and your net.

Strong light & blind them at night, creep up and net them.

Not sure what a bull frog is but we get huge predatory invasive cane toads in Australia (Rhinella marina).

This DIY trap works well for those

Bright light to dazzle it,thumb and forefinger and some force,in the nape of its neck.

Ya they can get pretty big here in Pa., the size of dinner plates. I never really thought of trying to remove them. I believe its only the smaller koi that 4-6 inches that they will eat. I know the crows do a number on them. I don't believe there would actually be a way to get rid of them totally.

‘The size of dinner plates’ wow…I’ve had a couple of big girls in my pond but nothing that big

So every year before pond start up I open the valve of my 48 inch vortex to drain what ever has settled in my bottom drains. It's normal to see a few dead frogs go by because they attempt to find the lowest point of the pond to survive the winter. So the drain to the vortex is a 2 inch pipe. It goes for a foot then takes a 90 degree angle that shoots 150 feet to the end of my property and woods. Last year while doing this I see the huge pair of legs go by but was not quick enough to catch it before going down the drain. The frog was a foot long and ended up clogging that 2 inch pipe. Luckily it clogged at that elbow. My brother works at a hospital and they were clearing out the old surgical units. He gave me a few pair of 18 inch needle surgical claps they use for clamping arteries. I had to stand on my head and pull the frog out with one of those.
