Sucker Gigging! Watch Ken Beam Sucker Gigging in Califon NJ! Sucker Gigging

"Sucker Giggin`"......... bet you never heard of it right? Well I grew up in Califon & learned this from older generations as I grew up. My Dad, Grandfather & Uncle all did this. It is absolutely legal to do as suckers are not considered "Game Fish". Basically you need about 10-12 guys(gals?) and you line up say six "Drivers" at one end of the river with baseball bats in their hands. The "Giggers" cut five or six holes in the ice & the Drivers walk towards the Giggers beating their bats on the ice. The sound pushes to suckers towards the Giggers, who in turn hook them as they swim by their holes cut through the ice. The Suckers are then cleaned & soaked in a brine for 24 hours then are smoked for 3 hours. They are absolutely excellent tasting! *Be sure to check out http://www.SuckerGigging.com to see more pictures & videos too! Thanks for watching!
