Bull FRogs = Meat was severely rationed during WWII so fish and frogs took up some of the slack. We lived in Western FResno Ca were the irrigation ditches were full of both. Dad and I used a 2 man net by day for the fish and gigged frogs at night. My two older brothers and one sister served in the military. We had a 38 Chevy coupe with a spotlight that dad removed and made it hand held by running wires from the car to the lite. Mom drove the car slowly along the ditch bank while dad gigged the frogs and it was my job to keep the wires out of the weeds and this was RATTLESNAKE country ...
Great story! The first time I ever heard the expression “gigg a frog” was just several years ago. A friend who has grown up in NE Texas and was living here mentioned it.
My dad used to go giggin quite often when I was a Kid. He liked frog legs. Not a favorite for me.
