00:32
over the years we have featured a
00:34
plethora of frog species
00:37
some of them were tiny and poisonous
00:40
some of them jumped on my face some of
00:43
them were giant
00:44
and screamy there it is the famous sound
00:48
that they make
00:50
wow and some of them were even
00:54
semi-transparent
00:56
the point is that i was able to safely
00:59
catch
00:59
and successfully get them up close for
01:01
the cameras so we could learn about what
01:03
makes them so unique
01:05
but what if i told you that there was a
01:07
frog that was impossible to catch
01:10
and was also blue
01:14
hold up a blue frog
01:17
yes you heard me right a blue
01:21
frog this encounter happened on the
01:24
island of middle bass
01:25
located in lake erie the following
01:29
series of events will play out in
01:30
chronological order
01:32

01:50
is insane i've actually
01:52
read about this before this is insanely
01:54
rare every once in a while
01:56
based on limitations within genetic
01:58
dynamics
01:59
a frog will sometimes lose pigmentation
02:03
through its genetic line and will be
02:05
blue in coloration i mean we're talking
02:08
about a literal unicorn right here this
02:10
is crazy
02:12
oh he moved there he is i still see him
02:16
oh you can't you can't make it through
02:19

02:27

02:31
[Music]
02:32
dude that was crazy that was crazy
02:37
okay hold on i'm coming back to you i
02:40
think we need to come back at night
02:42
if we come back at night we see that
02:43
frog i can spot it with a flashlight
02:46
and i don't think it'll jump i couldn't
02:47
even get close okay we can catch that
02:49
frog
02:50
holy cow that will be insane a blue
02:53
frog i cannot believe what i just saw if
02:56
he comes back out at night
02:57
we're definitely gonna get him let's do
02:59
it
03:02
so how do you catch the uncatchable frog
03:06
i'm gonna build a contraption when i
03:08
chased after this frog the first thing
03:09
it did
03:10
was hop across all the duckweed and
03:12
disappear back
03:13
and into the swamp and i've got this
03:15
long wooden beam
03:17
i'm going to secure my net to the beam
03:20
if i don't have to touch the water
03:21
even better now bullfrogs have a
03:23
tendency to be pretty territorial so
03:25
i think even though the fact that i
03:27
chased it back into the marsh
03:29
it's still going to return to that spot
03:32
to defend
03:33
its little claim right there that is
03:35
good and secure
03:36
and will give me several more feet of
03:40
reach
03:40
all right guys this is it we're gonna
03:42
catch ourselves a blue bullfrog
03:47
okay guys sun has set we're gonna catch
03:50
ourselves a blue bull frog okay it's
03:51
just down the way here
03:53
let's uh sneak up and see if it's back
03:54
in its spot
03:56
there he is okay right there he's way
03:59
closer to me
04:02
shoot okay this frog is definitely tough
04:05
to catch
04:06
definitely
04:12
oh don't do it by hand
04:17
it's gonna be slippy use the net
04:21
put it right under him
04:26
oh
04:33
okay okay you could go from behind
04:37
hang on let me get the light on him
04:39
there you go there he goes right there
04:40
right there right there
04:41
who's going
04:45
oh
04:49
there it goes still there
04:54
he's still there i gotta go on the other
04:55
side of my fence okay
04:58
i think we're gonna get them the length
05:00
of the net is now actually hurting me
05:02
oh oh oh oh
05:08
no no dang it
05:16
did we lose him
05:19
i lost him dang it
05:24
was literally inches from my hand right
05:27
here
05:28
i should have gone for the hand catch
05:30
man i should have gone for the hand
05:32
catch
05:32
dude he's all the way back here and
05:34
those reason i can't get him
05:36
ah but
05:39
but here's the thing we tried to catch
05:42
him in daylight
05:43
he went all the way back there and came
05:45
all the way right back to this spot
05:46
there's a good chance this frog will be
05:48
back i think i gotta catch him by hand
05:51
he's too smart for the net this frog
05:53
knows exactly
05:55
what is happening he's impossible to
05:57
catch
05:58
this is crazy absolutely crazy
06:03
okay this is day two we are back
06:06
to the spot where the blue bull frog was
06:08
spotted yesterday
06:10
and this morning it has returned to its
06:13
territory which
06:14
certainly proves my theory that this
06:16
frog is
06:17
running this little pocket of water
06:20
now i can see the frog i'm not going to
06:23
try to catch it during daylight
06:24
it is way too smart this may be the
06:27
smartest frog
06:28
i've ever encountered i mean he was
06:29
playing cat mouse with me last night
06:31
it was just a game it led me back into
06:33
the reeds i got bitten up by mosquitoes
06:36
it was rough i've never had a more
06:38
difficult struggle
06:39
catching a frog so what we're gonna do
06:41
is wait until
06:42
sun gets low in the sky again just at
06:45
sunset
06:45
when this frog is back in the spot i'm
06:48
gonna come out and i'm gonna take
06:49
another attempt
06:50
i will attempt with the net at first but
06:52
if it gets close
06:53
gotta use my hand last night the frog
06:55
was literally
06:56
about a foot and a half away from me and
06:59
i defaulted to the net
07:01
i should have gone with my gut and tried
07:02
to catch it with my hand and i might
07:03
have had it but
07:05
we're gonna give it one more shot
07:06
tonight okay here we go
07:08
the third attempt at catching the blue
07:10
bullfrog what i've done tonight is
07:12
brought a smaller net
07:13
plus the long extended net gotta up our
07:17
chances and if it's not with the net
07:18
it's going to be
07:19
with my hand yes that's him
07:24
ready yep
07:30
[Music]
07:42
oh
07:57
oh my gosh dude you had him
08:00
hold on let's rewind and slow it down
08:05
look at the evasive maneuver this frog
08:07
pulls off
08:08
as it springs from inside the net and
08:10
does a full nosedive
08:12
back into the water and disappears
08:14
beneath the duckweed
08:16
now look at this freeze frame zoom in
08:19
my hand is less than an inch away
08:23
from making a swooping and unbelievable
08:26
catch
08:27
but i missed it ah
08:30
it was so close
08:34
dude i had him i know i saw him
08:37
are you kidding me
08:45
i can't believe that just happened
08:48
there's nothing more frustrating than
08:51
literally
08:52
having the frog you've been trying to
08:54
catch for three days in your net
08:56
and then have it spring out just as i
08:58
was trying to get my hand in there
08:59
to keep him locked in position oh
09:02
don't got him yet we're gonna keep
09:04
trying
09:06
is it day three day three
09:10
attempt number four
09:14
four official attempt number four
09:17
the blue frog is back and walk over the
09:20
car and get the net do you guys believe
09:22
in miracles is it possible to catch
09:24
a blue frog we're about to find out
09:29

09:32
let's see what happens okay
09:44
[Music]
09:46

09:53
literally
09:53
wasn't even able to set foot in the
09:55
water
09:58
the legend of the blue frog
10:07
that's it the blue frog
10:11
is officially uncatchable
10:15
there is a frog that is not capable of
10:17
being caught by coyote peterson
10:20
well maybe we'll have to return to
10:21
middle base island at some point to see
10:23
if the blue frog still manages to evade
10:26
capture
10:27
i'm coyote peterson be brave
10:30

10:33
