Old school Ozarks traditions

[Ozarkshunter95]

Gigging suckers is an old tradition in the Ozarks and any given night you might find a bunch of folks on a river bank waiting to eat fried suckers while a boat runs up and down the river. Today you'll see big flat bottom jon boats pushed by jet motors with electric lights which I use regularly. What I have pictured is a bit different these are a set of propane gigging lights from the 1950s I restored over the summer. On my grandpa's 1970 john boat.

Keep bringing it.
Love threads like this.

@Ozarkshunter95 got any photos of the gig?

And I can imagine you’ve taken more than just a few turkeys in that meadow behind the trailered boat photo.
