Fun fact: Texas A&M’s “Gig ‘Em Aggies!” The SWC’s first hand sign and warcry that was copied by all the other schools (Hook ‘Em, Wreck ‘Em Sick ‘Em etc) was inspired by a game against TCU when a Yell Leader shouted “What are we gonna do to them Frogs?! GIG EM!” (A gig being a barbed spear used to hunt frogs)

Frog gigs need no explanation to country boys from the South. You might print that for our Yankee brethren on the main board.

I prefer a single prong to the fork shaped ones though. And it makes perfect sense for the Aggie "Gig 'em".

Personally the gigging I did wasnt frogs but flounder fishing with my grandfather down around Mustang Island near Corpus Christi. Some of my favorite summer time memories

Did you use the lights as well? Flounder gigging at night is a blast since the sun isn't beating down on you too.

Oh yes, that’s how 10 year old me learned, gramps would point out the little spots in the salt marshes and shallows they liked to hang out and give me the light and say “okay boy go find us one” then he would spear it for us. Later on we reversed and he’d let me make the gig. He’d then cook them up blackened with this Cajun spice mix he made that was such good eating.
