Marcuz Rangel shared photos of a monstrous 13lb bull frog he caught in Batesville, Texas
A Facebook user identified as Marcuz Rangel, who caught a 13 pound bull frog, has taken to the social networking platform and shared photos of his monstrous catch in Batesville, Texas.
The South Texas Hunting Association who also posted the images on their Facebook page, said; 'Markcuz Rangel - Wanted to share a monster bull frog we got yesterday afternoon at one of our fishing ponds in South texas ranch located in Batesville tx 13lb monster frog!!! #stxha.'
However, many have doubted the authenticity of the photo but a spokesman for the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, Steve Lightfoot, told Chron that the photo is real.
'It's not as bigly as it appears. 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,' Lightfoot said.
