I used to always hear stories of people using an old style telephone to shock fish up to the surface. Has anyone ever done this ? How does it work?

It worked but didn't really give the results I was expecting and was a lot of work for questionable results. Best setup I ever saw was a small box that was set up with electronic gadgets that would take the power from the boat battery and tranfer it to the wires in the water. The box was hand built and the fella that built it knew a lot about electricity. It purely was a work of art. Game warden that confiscated it was equally impressed.

I knew a feller that had one of those gadgets. He got caught on the Red River shocking up catfish.
Game warden took his john boat pick up and his gadget. Also fined him $2500 and he wasnt allowed a fishing liscence for the next five years.He said he just started fishing and only had 3 fish.
