    Episode 99: Gigging for Suckers with Jacob McIntosh on the James River--Another Video Experience!
    Dec 10 2025
    Jacob McIntosh is a ninth-generation Ozarker who's been fish gigging since his grandpa took him out at the age of 14. Jacob brings his extensive experience and knowledge to the Chronicles on what is perhaps the most Ozarkian sport of all, gigging suckers. Then Curtis, Crystal, and Hayden join Jacob on the James River to take a turn at fish gigging themselves. At twenty-eight degrees, the river air was chill, but the experience was fantastic! Warning: Gigging and cleaning suckers is not pretty, but the eating sure is good!
