Cool. Although it is a forced perspective, so the frog is probably half that size.

Yeah, I thought of the perspective (the gig doesn't show at all but when you allow for it, the frog's probably about 3 or 4 feet closer to the camera than the man) But the text says 11 pounds as well.

It's so near the camera that the frog is considerably more in focus than the guy.

He's obviously holding it on a stick pointing towards the lens from the position of his arms.

Given that it is probably a phone or a small sensor compact camera (with the extended depth of field that that implies) that frog could be just a few inches from the camera.

(Must type faster...)

Noted. As regards the "stick." See post #4. It's not a "stick. It's the gig. One of these with a handle of about 6 feet or so:

LOL. Kinda. It's like the Pet Peeves In Fiction thread running right now. One of mine (fiction or reality) is people who don't know/use the right terms when referring to hunting or fishing sports.

Very true, well done.
My first post was more on the Terry Pratchett lines of" Rat on a stick". But it is nice to know a person can learn something new everyday, mine is a thing called a gig, or as I will remember them as a Frog fork. Cheers.
