The meeting was called back to order. The club recited the club motto and the meeting was adjourned. Bullfrog season opened July 1……The bullfrog is a ferocious predator in its own right. Being up to eight inches long, with another nine inches of stretched out leg behind him, they can catch and eat anything from a beetle to a sparrow. Where plentiful, other frogs can make up the majority of the bullfrog’s diet. Insects, fish, small snakes, moles, birds and even bats are considered prey. What a way for the outdoorsman to beat the heat during hot summer nights. Bullfrogs can be legally taken day or night by traditional fishing techniques, dip nets, gigs, or bow and arrow. The mighty bullfrog hunter, clad only in cutoffs and old tennis shoes, who stalks his quarry at night and snatches them up barehanded, is in for some fun and exciting moments. A good waterproof flashlight and a gunny sack is really all the fancy equipment he needs. Insect repellent and a gallon or two of courage are helpful accessories that may come in handy at times! Frog legs, regarded as a delicacy in many restaurants, have a taste and texture similar to shrimp. A popular way to cook frog legs is to dip them in egg and then into a mixture of flour, cornmeal, seasoning salt and pepper. Fry them to a golden brown in about a half inch of peanut oil. The legs may also be broiled or baked. Contrary to popular belief, not all legs will try and jump out of the skillet! Bullfrogs abound in lakes, ponds, marshes and streams throughout Kansas. They may be legally harvested from July 1 through October 31. The bullfrogs loud bellowing call may be heard for over half a mile and is a clue to their location. A valid fishing license is required to take bullfrogs (unless exempt by law). The daily creel limit is eight frogs, and the possession limit is 24. As with all hunting and fishing adventures, permission is required to enter private land. When night fishing is non-productive and the set lines are running slack, let frogging pick up the action. Be sure to take the kids along and always be prepared for the unexpected, especially those things that go Abaa-rumph and hiss in the middle of the night!
