We don't have Bull Frogs in Utah, but I caught one in a local pond
here anyway. I have no idea where it came from. I just dangled a
fly in front of its eyes (the rest of the frog was in the water) and
suddenly had a bull frog hooked by its 24" tongue. It was quite
embarrassing.
Another time I was fishing at a local pond and a small boy slipped
behind me during my back cast and got a Wooly Bugger in his ear.
His father came over when he heard the commotion, and I told him how
I thought he should remove the hook from his boy. To my surprise he
threw up his arms and said "no way, no way, you do it" and left!
Luckily it wasn't deep (though in past the barb) and I was able to
pop it out with out much difficulty.

Subject: [VFB] What have you caught on your flies?
Chuch made me think of something that I have wanted to ask. What
other than fish have you hooked on your fly?
I have hooked and lost a bat, a muskrat and a pelican (actually he
took my trout and flew away with my line. Got the line back when
the tippet broke. Any one else?
