Frog in Lake Trout belly ......in February!

Buddy of mine posted this on facebook yesterday and I wanted to share it with this community as well.

He was fishing lake trout and caught this laker. Cut the belly open during cleaning and found a huge suprise for February!

Pike like to dig hibernating frogs out of the mud in the winter too. You find them in pike when cleaning once in a while.

This only gets me more excited to try out diving/rise/float flies on a 9wt this year. Fish are ALREADY chowing on frogs!!

Thats is pretty cool. Big frog too.

I have seen in the spring of the year when the water is still cold where a few frogs have been churned up out of the mud from spring winds and they float nose up like they are reaching for the sky and could see how a pike would have a nice tasty meal.

a lake around me has had frogs in pikes bellys all year. very odd.

Even blind Lakers&Pike find a frog once in awhile!I read somewhere that frogs can even "swim" in hibernation state to keep from being covered in anoxic mud.(suffocation)c63

So...........................

are you gonna eat that?

[pikestabber]

You will see frogs milling around the bottom while darkhouse spearing (depending on the lake/bottom content) once in a while. I imagine that would be a hard meal to resist.

Here is a Northern with a Laker inside. Never found out if there was a Frog inside the Laker

Dude, shoulda just cooked that guy up whole. Sorta like a turducken, except a norlakerog.

Inception!

Range = very cool pic. I always figured trout to be suspending fish. That is cool.

Mallard = Very cool as well. That lake trout wasnt much smaller than that northern. We caught a Northern one year about that size with a huge crappie in the stomach still and it hit a 8 inch sucker minnow. I dont know where it was going to put that sucker minnow - not much room left.

Somehow I don't see the "norlakerog" replacing the Turducken for Thanksgiving football anytime soon, but I would try it! Maybe if it had a different combo of letters? Lakernog? Fropikal? Okay, maybe not...
