It's called a Power Flounder Gigger. Basically, you drift along the
beach uisng a light at night and when you see the shape of of a
flounder in the sand, you press the button and it gigs the flounder,
brings it up to the surface, the pole rotates and delivers a freshly
gigged flounder.

It can also be used for a trailer jack.

Sometimes it's used to position the boat - you set the pole into the
bottom to hold the boat in position. Handy in a tidal rip or on a
flat to keep you from drifting too close to structure, the beach or
such as that.


Hee hee! Now Tom, you'll get Dan all excited and he'll be at his marine
store demanding one of those rigs.

"Hee hee!"??? WTF? I thought you were an adult.

BTW - I got the joke and the answer.

Yeah...two days later... hee hee!
