I used the flashlight to distract/disorient the fish about 2 hours before lights on and was able to catch him pretty quickly with net.
I just keep flashing him and made him follow the light while I moved up behind him with the net.
I was complaining to Frank about having to catch a fish and he told me how to do it. Said maybe a strobe light if you have one.

Edit: do this a few hours after lights out or like I did in the morning a few hours before lights on.
I'll try this! I have 6 staghorn damsels to get out, each about 3"

I'll try that! I'll have to take the lid off on one end and try it. Will be hard with a net and all my acros/sticks not to snag and knock them off. I also thought about taking some netting, laying it on the water on one end and clipping it then letting it sag abit. and use food to try to get them to swim on top of the net

Good morning all you wonderfully weird people!

I came out to my lanai this morning and shared a cup of coffee with this little fella. Still being newish to Florida, I cannot say I’ve seen a frog like this previously. I’m not sure how he got into the lanai but there he was in all his glory! Hope you have someone or something special to share your coffee with today!

Ridges behind the eyes resemble a "Cane Toad". They look a little elongated, as opposed to a normal southern toad. Just so you are aware, if this is what I think it is, it is invasive, poisonous, and a toad that is normally known for killing dogs when the dogs lick them.

Would need a better pic of it to ID for sure, as the glands behind the eyes are the giveaway.

And per previous instructions, probably do not lick.

Well, that’s a big NFG!

Here are the only two other pics I snapped shortly before I told him he had to exit the lanai.
