Why you strap the transom down on the trailer

Ferm, is fish gigging like frog gigging? With a trident spear and etc? Never heard the term, but I've seen frog gigging and know what that's like. Thanks

Sort of like. Down here we used to be able to gig most any fish, but now with game fish and such there isn't alot that we can gig(mullet, sheepshead, flounder, and crabs is just about all that's left).
