Man catches fish, finds live frog in its throat

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Professional angler Angus James has likely caught thousands of fish and seen a lot of things, but probably nothing like this.

James hooked an Australian jungle perch and when he went to remove the hook he found a green tree frog gripping to the inside of the fish’s mouth. He told the Courier Mail about how surprising it was.

“I was shocked. I thought it might have been grass at first, then it blinked. I always carry a camera so I took the pic and then he jumped out.”

Talk about being at the right place at the right time. Now the green tree frog has a new lease on life.
