It's a contest for the fiercest frog jumping jockeys in the world and it's all going down Thursday through Sunday in Frogtown, USA. And for the first time ever, $20,000 will be given to anyone who breaks the world record.
Wednesday to "pre-test" their frogs and decide which ones they should take with them to the jubilee. Joseph Fasano shows off one of the frogs that will compete this weekend May 17, 2023.

The Fasanos know everything there is to know about frogs: sleep patterns, varying temperatures, and most importantly, what makes them jump. Jockeys get one minute to jump their frog. Another family member follows with a net to quickly capture them and put them in the appropriate bucket after the jump. If they don't take them up to the competition, they release the frogs back from where we found them.
And last year, a member of the Gustine Frog Team won the jubilee at just 5-years-old. Nolan Moncrief jockeyed his frog ‘Old Papa’ to first place with a 19 foot and 1/4 inch jump.
