Frog giggin Friday Nite !

Fry em up!

I have a couple of grandsons that absolutely love frog giggin. We try and go 4-5 times a year. Seems tough to find a good pond with frogs than it used to be

Looks like fun! I need to take my kids out giggin. I haven’t gone since I was in high school, and I don’t know why. It’s a lot of fun

I think the blue herons are getting all the big frogs. It's hard to find frogs large enough to make Gigan worthwhile around here. That said tonight might be a good night to go see if I can take the kids

Any pics of any y'alls gigs?

Pro tip and conservation minute-if you bare hand them, you can put the smaller ones back

Lol I'm not that fast and agile. My 12 year old likes to catch them on a fishing line. I use a 5 prong fine wire gig or shoot them.

We go in the water which makes the hand catch way easier. As a youngster this makes for a fun/terrifying night. Water up to yer chin, carp banging off yer legs gets the blood pumping! My Dad would hand me my own cigar for the skeeters and I thought I was hot stuff.

Can't gig them here for that very reason. We have a minimum size and it's hard to put them back once you've poked holes in them. I use a rod and reel.

Just don't gig the smaller ones in the first place.Thats what we do.

We always bare-handed them back in Louisiana . Couldn't break the skin, if I recall. Good eatin tho!

Nice catch!

Good deal !!

nice!!!

Good eating

My brother and cousins and me would go to the ponds behinour grandparents when wre kids and catch/shoot leopard frogs.
Grandma would cut the legs off and we'd have a feast.
I have a pic somewhere of me with my shirt tucked in and there were 140 frogs inside.

Used to be a lot of leopard frogs here, and big ones. Not nearly as many now.

I used a gig like this for years, still have it somewhere. Worked great and no puncture to the skin. Mounted it on a long hickory pole.

That's interesting
