Monster Tadpole

[Roberto C. Wells]

I took this photo last summer and I was wondering what kind of frog it would become?????

Probably a bullfrog if it is big!?

Egads....

Bull frog tadpoles that I have seen are almost black and very round

Where did you find it and how big was it?
Here is an american bullfrog pollywog, the picture is almost lifesized.

it looks like either a pig frog, green frog, bullfrog or related. You can see the hind legs forming in the back.....

Of the frogs and toads that live in Arkansas only the bullfrog and northern green frog (Rana clamitans) have very large tadpoles, at least that I can confirm. There is some refractory distortion in your picture but I would lean towards the bullfrog. They can get larger than the one pictured (to about 6"). Both make good feeders.
