Southern Leopard Frog eating a Rainbow Trout.

So if you eat that frog, would it then become the amphibian/fish version of "Turducken"?

Did she catch it alive by herself in water?

Nick, it'd be a frogish. I can add predatory water beetles to this list. And crays...

@Michael,

I have 2 chubs in my tank and they're about 4" long. When I feed my N Longear and green sunfish small 2" shiners, they have to beat out the chubs for them. Fortunately, darters have dorsal spines, but that might not even be enough to deter a creek chub. They're nature's scaled garbage cans, they can stuff a LOT in their gullet, and you really don't want to keep them with any kind of soft finned fish.
