(Fox News) – A man in Texas caught a monster-sized frog, and the photos are going viral online.
According to the South Texas Hunting Association’s Facebook page, Markcuz Rangel is the man who captured the giant bullfrog last Wednesday. The frog was caught in a fishing pond in Batesville in south Texas.
A spokesman for the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department told the Houston Chronicle that the photo is real and not photoshopped. However, the spokesman said the picture is a little misleading.
“It’s not as bigly as it appears,” spokesman Steve Lightfoot said. “[It’s an] optical illusion created by extending frog toward the camera – similar to what you see with fishermen holding up fish to make them appear larger. Still a big bullfrog, though.”
This is how the South Texas Hunting Association captioned the photo on Facebook: “Markcuz Rangel – Wanted to share a monster bullfrog we got yesterday afternoon at one of our fishing ponds in South texas ranch located in Batesville tx 13lb monster frog!!!”

WHY does everyone that finds something like that have to Kill it? Why can’t they let a creature live its life?

Because he’s a liberal. All liberals hate the very image of Pepe.

I agree with you Jim, it was already huge, LEAVE IT ALONE! MY goodness! I love frogs! Stop killing the huge animals let them live!
Frogs are people too
Kill it because its special….people are so cruel.
That’s no “hunter”. Real hunters respect mother earth and Gods critters and don’t kill things just because they have “small man syndrome” ( tiny weenie)
