PDX this is for you.
Basically it is frog hunting with a pole. The pole has a sharp end, either a knife or prongs. You wade into water one person has a light the other has a pole. You shine the light into the frogs eyes to startle them while the other person stabs them. The frogs are used to cook. As far as I know the legs are the only thing eaten.

'Round here if you want to eat frog legs you send your kids out in the daytime to hit them over the head with rocks.
I'm not sure which way is worse.
LOL. One of the English teachers at my high school, who was also the cheerleading sponsor, went frog gigging on the first date with her husband.
It was always a huge joke around the whole school. I had no idea what frog gigging was at the time, and I still do not see it being a very fun activity, much less first date.
I have always wondered what frog gigging was.
There isn't enough meat on a frog to justify standing in water in the dark trying to stab amphibians.
i thought at the end of the story she was going to say when you stab them the air goes out of their throats and sounds like a giggle
