Took my boys out tonight for a night of frog gigging. Got the green light on a pond that is absolutely stacked. After some quick instructions before dark we hit the water in my canoe. My 3 million candle watt halogen lamp lights up the frogs like crazy. Nathan my oldest was gigging first while Zach pulled light duty. Nathan's accuracy was incredible going 15/17. One of the frogs he missed jumped in and skipped along the side of the canoe. I reached down and snatched that frog clean out of the water with one swoop. It was an amazing stroke of luck. Then it was Zach's turn. He missed his first few. I encouraged him to keep trying. He did and scratched out 14 really nice frogs. I was really proud of him. When we gig a frog we push the gig to the ground/bottom pinning the frog. We reach down grabbing the frog and the gig, lifting them out at the same time. He reached into some tricky spots leaning over the rail of the canoe (bow of the canoe on shore) He showed some grit and tenacity. No complaints no fuss, just kids listening to seasoned veteran and doing a bang up job. Even when we returned home they did a great job skinning those slippery suckers. No complaints when I insisted they shower....Who are these kids?
All I did was drive the canoe....
