Spent many, many summer vacations fishing in the Alexandria area. Used to go out an night with flash lights and catch leopard frogs to use as bass bait. We would keep them in lidded 5 gallon buckets. Dad would have all of us kids catch enough for several days of fishing the first night or two after we arrived. Usually had at least 50 on hand. One of our favorite tricks was to sneak over to one of the other tents in the middle of the night and quietly open the zipper just enough to dump in a bucket full and slide the zipper shut. Usually didn't take long for things to get "hopping" in the tent.
