Giggin'....Interesting Experience

I went giggin' Saturday night.  First experience.  Didn't quite know EXACTLY what giggin' was until then.  I knew the basics but had never seen it before.  For those of you not in the South. Giggin' is when you get in a boat at night with heavy duty bright lights.  And when I say boat I'm not talking about your deluxe party barge...I'm talking a flat-bottom tipsy turvy boat. No cushions here.  

Ok moving on...once in the boat, someone drives slow while two giggers (fishermen) stand at the front and throw a javelin/pole/pitchfork into the water at fish.  See Below...
Good Job Babe!

Well for a newbie sitting in the middle wasn't so smart when Will caught/stabbed his fish and then procceded to throw it in the boat right in front of where I was sitting.  That thing started flopping around and water/blood splashed my jeans and face.  Next time I will know to close mouth/eyes and turn around when this occurs.

We had fun laughing and visiting.  We went with Will's cousins Ethan, and Jake and his wife, Megan.

Not sure why Will is so serious in this picture...


Proof that I did in fact go...


Just when you go...make sure your generator and lights don't go out and you have to float blindly back to the place you need to dock.  Yes this did happen.  Darkness, bugs, critters, unfamiliar noises and Ashley do not mix.

I went giggin with my brothers once when I was young-er. Had a ball too but there were spiders in my part of Arkansas that liked the water...big spiders. *shivers*
Y'all look like you had fun. :)Lisa
