Depends where you go. Some WMAs have per boat limits, other places are #of frogs.

Frogs
LEGAL METHOD OF TAKE
Frogs may be taken using any visible light
and mechanical devices known as frog
catchers or with devices that puncture the
skin, such as gigs or spears.
ILLEGAL METHOD OF TAKE
Possession of firearms while taking or
hunting frogs at night is prohibited.
BULLFROGS and PIG FROGS
• Length requirements (measured from
tip of the muzzle to the posterior end
of the body between the hind legs)
• Bullfrogs harvested must be 5 inches
or larger.
• Pig frogs harvested must be 3 inches
or larger.
• Frogs harvested on private lands,
ponds or waters where the individual
is an authorized representative are not
limited by length requirements.
• Harvest is legal during all months of
the year except April and May.

It on page 45 for the Regulations book.

Those aren't bullfrogs you are hearing. We don't have any bullfrogs this year. Freeze killed them all.

Don't take my word for it, but I remember seeing either a basic hunt or basic fish either or will work. Again DON't take my word I would check with GJ.

Nope, he can't use it while at work whereas I can


ETA: And asking a question here and checking back 30 minutes later for an answer is much easier than spending time searching the internet for the answer. Thanks for your concern though!!

He needs a fishing license. LDWF's website is not that tough to navigate.
