Sometimes you hear about rednecks supposedly doing some catfishin'
with dynamite. Probably 99% urban legend, but the results would be
similar to Grandpa's depth charges- if on a smaller scale.

Well around here the local rednecks are much more stealth, than to use
things that make a big BOOM! What is the most illegal way to fish in
these parts? find an old crank telephone generator, attach a wire to
the output and throw it over one side of the boat, attach a ground
wire to the frame of thee generator, and throw it over theotherside.
then crank like heck.

Fish start bellying up to the top.

I've personally never been involved with such play, but know several
who have.

Getting caught by the US or IL-DOC, isn't a pretty sight , people have
been known to get their boats, trucks, etc. confiscated, PLUS major
strains on the wallet for fines and the threat of jail time.

Best not to mess with it.
