Don't give up on the stick. You just have to learn how far your frog can reach and hold the stick just a bit further. Your angler will get just the food item. Occasionally, mine still inhales the stick or net or whatever is close. I just shake it gently in the water and they'll let go...eventually.
Once your frogfish start associating the stick with feeding, you can start feeding strips of fish, defrosted silversides, shell-on shrimp (I stuff them with a chunk of formula one) and other types of food.
Some of my big guys will eat a silverside if I just drop it into the tank.
