Pretty sure it’s pond weeds.
In West Africa, it used to be a common source of protein. A serious collapse of frog populations in the last decades is closely related to human population growth (and additional factors worsened the situation). The time I arrived there, it already had the status of a delicacy, I think. Which is not helping.
BTW, I had to try. (You don’t insult your hosts by declining.) Good meat, a bit like chicken.

It isn’t closer than the guy by more than an arm’s length, though, right? Or are you alleging he has it on something else?
He has it on the end of a snare on a stick. You can see the wire on the snare around the frog’s neck. It looks like it’s nearly two inches thick when compared to the man’s thumb. It’s a thick wire, but it’s not nearly that thick.
Also look at the arm behind the frog, especially in the photo at left. He’s holding the frog straight out so his arm would be foreshortened completely if photographed straight on, and the frog is positioned so it blocks the view of the arm and the stick. This makes it harder to judge perspective, because there’s nothing connecting the foreground to the background.
