I'd like to see the legs move, but I'm afraid it wouldn't have a positive affect on my appetite.
LOL. No, the legs moving definitely does nothing for your appetite. But, I assumed this was about bullfrogs, not tree frogs.

In the case of bullfrogs, you need one of these to go the live route:

Although, admittedly, my frog gig was more humane than these, you still had to beat their head on a tree to kill them. Messy bit of business and the short bark as they passed into lala land was a little disturbing as well. But what's a bubba to do on a weekend night in deep Northeast Texas? LOL.
I also suggest some waders and a helmeted floodlight or a flat-bottom boat that has a floodlight on it if you plan to go the fresh catch route. You catch these guys by venturing out into wetlands on a summer night. Be careful though...there are other predators afoot who might like you as much as bullfrogs.
