I don't know if you guys have these "nastay" fish in your neck of the woods, but Bowfin are fun to catch not to eat IMO. No match for the Cardinal 3 though...I have caught several bass with tree fogs over the years after it rains.

The bobber leads me to assume you mean an actual frog not a frog-shaped lure. Fairly large fella, I'm sure it was a fun fight. I know a fella who ate one on a lost bet. Said it was very mushy meat.
Any machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

Yep Jason,a real live tree frog, they can't resist ! Buzzards won't even eat bowfin ,but there are recipes out there, some folks like them.I reckon if I was hangry enough, I just ain't got that hungry yet.

I'm always up for a good time on the rod and reel; but I also would not be opposed to saving the bait and grilling up some frog legs......

A big tree frog is about the size of a quarter so you'd need a lot of them but frog legs are delicious
When I first saw the title of the post I thought it might have been a song, catchy title
Do what you can with that you have where you are
