Back in about 1975 or so
About the time Charlie Rich was burning Folk/Pop singer John Denver's CMA award for COUNTRY Artist of the Year, me and my cousin Bud, he's dead now, decided to Gig some frogs for supper. We had been duck Hunting and still had our guns with us.
Well we also had a couple beers with us. Well it might have been a couple of six packs, that parts kind of hazy.
Now me and Bud was cousins and good buddies. Fished together, hunted together, Drank a few beers together, we figured we could Gig frogs together.
Well we had about a half dozen decent sized Bullfrogs in the bucket when we spotted this really huge Bullfrog on the Bank, Now this was a really big Bullfrog, like Frogzilla.

Well Bud kept the light on him and we eased the boat in. I leaned out and took a stab at Godzilla. Damn frog was fast, he was off the bank and into the water before my Gig got any where near him.
Well Bud kept a good light on that frog and sure enough he surface about twenty feet away from the boat. So we eased the boat over trying to get another stab at him.
I tried again and missed. Needless to say that ol' Bullfrog took off for the bank. We tried again. Missed him again.
Well we sat there contemplating our situation and havin' another beer. Giggin' Frogs is thirsty work you know.
Bud seen that Bullfrog sneakin' up on the bank again. I got to thinkin' about that frog and wonderin' how I was gonna get him. Did I say that was one sneaky Bullfrog?
Well I got thinkin' on it and then I seen my 12 gauge sitting there. Now I figure what the heck, I shoot ducks with it, whose to say I can't shoot a frog.
So I grabbed up that shotgun and loaded a number 4 into it, took aim and squeezed one off.
Well folks, I got to tell you, you can't shoot Bullfrogs with a 12 gauge shotgun. I mean it just doesn't work.
Now I can't tell you exactly what happened but that frog just disappeared. I mean he was there then he wasn't.
I've thought about that night many times and wondered what happened. I figure that frog either got the hint and moved to another pond or It was a direct hit and he just ....disintegrated.
I like to think he just left.
It was a terrible waste of a good eating frog if it was the latter.
