Fish Gigging
September 24, 2013 5:11 p.m.
Gigging is a tradition that's practiced by a small legion of fish giggers on the clear streams of the Ozarks. Each September, a gaggle of giggers gathers to gig enough fish for a family fish fry. Giggers may spear rough fish including suckers, carp and gar. Jerry Bonebrake, Larry Bonebrake and Gary Wellesley of Springdale gigged in the rain on Friday, Sept. 20 2013 on Indian Creek and Big Sugar Creek in southwest Missouri. It took some doing, but the men gathered the main ingredient for their annual fish fry. Staff photos by Flip Putthoff
