I could hazard a guess, but without seeing the fish's esca/illicium and a good side view, it would be that...a guess.
ok ill get some good pic's of it for you thanks
here is the frogfish lure.

Not the greatest pic, but are you sure it just isnt a toadfish? Looks like what you have pictured?
its definitely not a toadfish.

Not saying I disagree with the ID, because its likely it is that, but without a better pic I wouldn't be 100% sure.

I am 100% positive with the ID. Also, the fish looks a little malnourished to me. He seems a bit sunken in the face. How/what is he/she eating? Also, watch that heater. He could perch on it and get burned. :)
I'm feeding frozen silversides and he is got a belly now lol i'm not going to feed him tomorrow cuz i don't want to over feed him.thanks for the heater tip and the help:D
