Question

Does this story seem realistic, or does it seem more like a tall tale? The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"?

Answer 1

A cultured Easterner relates his recent visit to a talkative old man at a western mining camp. Rather than providing information that the Easterner is looking for, the old man keeps him waiting while he spins a tall tale about a betting man and his pet frog.

So I would say that it is a tall tale.

Answer 2

It is a tall tale. Because you can realistically make frogs eat gun shot to make them heavier
