Pretty sure years ago the DWF banned gigs for taking frogs and you could only use the pincher type catcher.

My brother-in-law would head out to N.O. East in the Bayou Savauge and along Hwy. 11 to hand grab frogs and come home with tons of them every time he went.

I know it is legal now to use gigs, but I do believe at one time, maybe back in the late 60's or in the 70's, gigs were banned for a time if my memory serves me right.
