Bullfrog.

Was out fishing @ a Muskingham water conservation dam, about two AM.
Buddy, Tim is up-front in the 13ft canoe, i troke oar in the rear.
Using a black hula popper for bass, when I over shot had tangled with bankbrush.

Told Tim what happened pulled the canoe over and slowly felt the lure out, had my eight-celled "Coon" light on, just sat back, when this "THING" flies by my nose. I dropped the light, pulled the sidearm (.45 of course).
EVERYTHING IS DEAD SILENCE!
What was it? I was asked, DON"T KNOW, I replied.
Found the light turn it on, underneath the front seat is the BIGGEST BLACKESS, BULLFROG. ( Shooting was not an option, Tim drove his truck)
In the light the third occupant little bitty hops under the rear seat.
I stuff my tackle box in front to pen the bugger. Turn and face the tackle box. Tim's holding the light. I ease the box away. AND with 6-8inches of clearance (horizontal), the BULLFROG FLIES out over my shoulder and hits the water five feet in front of the canoe.
We called it a night after that.
