Catching GIANT BULLFROGS in the Atchafalaya Spillway! (Catch & Cook)

[@ldufrene9727]

Not many gals will do what Tara does. I used to love frogging. I used to paddle my dad around in his pirogue catching frogs when I was 13 yrs old. Later my dad built me a pirogue. We used to go frogging on our duck hunting lease and catch hundreds of frogs a night My dad is 95 now and I'll be 70 this year. We don't go frogging anymore, but I love watching you and Tara. Keep the videos coming

[@datlouisianalife]

Tara really enjoys being out there, whether it's fishing, frogging, crabbing, etc. Sounds like you had some great times with your dad. Memories forever. Thanks for sharing! Take care buddy! 🐸

[@MuckoJumbie]

Agreed ! Tara is a rare gem. Keith seems like a good guy & definitely a lucky man. And Drake is a fine young man and a splitting image of his dad .

[@jwfinley7808]

I'm 62 I did it in California. I also ate crawdads in Ca,. I loved it! My dad loved fishing. So I grew up being in the outdoors. hunting, fishing, and camping!!

[@Rhythm911]

Especially playing Frogger live, or in a game!!! I am about the same generation as Tara's parents, It was more common for only kids to do it where i grew up because of boredom!! I have never seen a female frogger in 60 years, just about when i was a kid and all the school mates etc. that I knew were Canadian French, or English , or Dutch farm girls and village girls not Bayou Gals. But a few were willing to try it to impress the boys.😉😉😉😉😉But, like most w city girls, especially, my Polish ex-wife would never have been able the do it even as a kid, physically or mentally! And she was in great physical shape!!

The undisputed woman frogger of southern Louisiana, Lady Tara.

I don't know buddy, she missed 2 frogs. She will need to do better next time. 🤣🤣🤣

Love dat!🐸 Try em' grilled, Ces't Bon! Use to geaux with a friend of mine, he swore by the old style of halogen light. He could spot em a mile away...we bought him a laser light to point em out for us. There is a company out of Florida that carries the super lite spotlight and the 4 prong gigs, with a fiberglass telescoping pole. Nobody gets away😅🐸🤪 Joie Da Vie!❤

[@datlouisianalife]

We grill them sometimes. Fried is my favorite for sure. We actually have a frog gig but we have more fun grabbing them by hand. It's always good for a couple laughs 🤣. Thank you 🐸❤️

[@patjones2082]

Keith has eagle eyes. I can't see them until Miss Tara holds them to the camera 😂. Champion froggers! ✨️🏆✨️

Man, y'all livin large down there ! That swamp can give folks every thing they need. Fish, frogs, game of all sorts and it just goes forever ! I've been impressed by the basin since I was a little kid and going over the bridge on 10, just seeing it stretch out endlessly. I believe a fella could go off in there and make his way for years and years not wanting for much of anything.. That Tara ain't no slouch on grabbing them frogs and looks like you got it down cooking them. Good times with ya podnah !

Being out there at night is something most people will never get to experience but it truly is an amazing rush. All the different sounds and seeing all the amazing animals. It's a beautiful place! Thank you! 🐸

Howmany frogs can you keep?

[@Cockeyed_Den8213]

Well Hello Dat Louisiana Lift I hope you all are doing well. That's not a Frog it a dang Hog. Now they are some nice size Hog Frogs. You need a 30 Gal blue drum cut the top out leaving about an inch all the way around the drum drill two 1/4 inch holes in the lip and put a bolt in them and use wing nuts to hold the top on it for traveling when your ready to hunt remove the lid this gives you two up front to hunt and they can turn and drop the frogs in the drum and get right back to frogging when your done or going to make a run to a new spot close and lock the lid down. That how we did it back in the day a friend of ours just used a plywood box he made and used it for another seat as well we liked the drum it was easy to dump and clean. His Box smell a bit after a few trips. Well I have to say Y'alls meals look so good I have to ask how would you like to adopt a Grandpa Slightly used and house broke for now anyway lol. You all take care stay safe and I'll be waiting for the next video..

[@datlouisianalife]

Hey buddy! I like " Hog frogs" 🤣! It's always fun watching Tara wrestle with those big frigs. I've had a few different things to put frogs in before and I know the buckets work pretty good. I might have to get fix one up like that. We don't mind the crawfish traps though. They work pretty good. Take care buddy and thanks for the great comment! 🍻🐸

Back before the Forest Service had their industrial firefighting complex, they would get the local loggers to do the work. For my father it was a grand opportunity to liberate as much booty as a crew bus could haul. One of his favorite items was a head lamp that was powered by 4 D cells in a belt can. As a young man my friends and I would go in the garage and load up on them for a night of froggin'. Had to have several of them cause those D cells didn't last long. Good times.
