The clip comes from TikTok creator @fishingarrett, whose fishing videos feature close encounters with bullfrogs and pond wildlife. Tagged with bullfrog and frog, the sound pairs his outdoors niche with a cartoonish grab effect, which helped it travel beyond fishing edits into broader meme use. Creators liked the contrast between a real, juicy amphibian croak and a slapstick yoink, so it stuck as a punchline for steals and catches. It remains a niche TikTok trend sound rather than a mainstream viral hit.
