a tree frog got sucked into my carb and hung at the waist on the butterfly. it bogged down my motor choking the air down and i ended a day of boating with kids. next day i foung it when i inspected carb. popped off carb and there hung webbed feet.

this week again i heard a tree frog behind my transom while fishing. the next trip last thurs i saw him on the top of transom right next to outboard clamp.

tonight i hear a ping in batterybox.

that sucker sat there for an hour while fishing, drove back to dock. loaded. drove 20 miles. he was still on the battery cables. hes in my sons toad catching box now. to be released far from the boat tomorrow. and screen is getting put over my carb.
