Do Frogs eat fish?

[mattylamb]

Well I think the answer must be yes because I've just been out to check on my pond and found a frog with one of my 6 inch goldfish in its mouth. I netted it and it let go of the fish . the fish has a mark either side of its body near the gill covers almost as if the frog was suffocating the fish by clamping its gills closed. Hopefully it will survive but it looks like I am goign to gave to put a net over the pond to stop the frogs getting in.

anyone else seen anything like this before?

I lost one of my koi carp last year to bloddy frogs 

Wykeham Lakes lost £10,000+ worth of carp due to randy frogs last year, not good.

i read on the interweb that it happens when the males arrive at the pond first and they are waiting for the females to turn up

Also happens when all the females have b#ggered off leaving males to, well, look after themselves
