I include a frog gigging spear in my emergency fishing kit. Frogs are abundant in my area, as well as snakes. If I need to use it, I cut a small diameter stout pole and lash it to it.

When all else fails, read the directions, and beware the Chihuahuacabra!
@ MrFixIt frogs are delicious and nutritious but not easy to catch by hand, great tip. Often overlooked by those who have not tried it.
Reminds me that as a young child, kids less than 10 years old (Wayampi indigenous people or Brazil and French Guiana boarder region) showed me how to use palm leaf stems to make a simple bow and arrow with 3 pointed tip to shoot/spear small bait fish and frogs. We just removed the entrails and ate them whole bones, heads and all after cooking very fast over a small fire. Another delicious and often overlooked food. Try river cane instead of palm leaf.
