Gigging

Yeah!! I got to go gigging tonight. It was a blast! I got three fish, my dad got two (one 'really' nice one). Those of you who do not know what I'm talking about, it's when you take a boat out at night with lights rigged on the front so you can see into the water, and then you stab fish with a pole that has prongs on the end of it (mainly sucker, drum, or buffalo). It's a lot of fun, you get to see some cool stuff (we found an old wooden john boat that had capsized and was in the water...they are going back for it later) and you get to see God's handy work in the river bottom. It was a bit chilly, we had small particles of ice on our poles and gloves...but nothing compared to times past when the whole pole was incased in ice. I had a lot of fun with my dad and our friend Nathan, a very good way to spend an evening out. (grin) (Gigging News) (Blurb about gigging) -- the 'blurb' is toward the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
