Sometimes you catch the fish
and sometimes the fish catches you.

Not the first time a shortage of awareness about current conditions has shocked a poor fisherman.

My guess is that he was probably ‘catching fish’ by electrocuting them with his ‘invention,’ which was probably nothing more than a metal rod connected to an electric source, and then collecting the fish when they floated to the surface. Not very bright.

He can’t exactly carp about it.

He got some fin in the game.

The scale of it was shocking.

To paraphrase an old Guindon(?) cartoon with the fisherman at the bait shop.

“Oh yeah, they’re biting on a 4-inch floating Rapala in silver or gold with 8 to 10 pound line. And if that doesn’t work I’d go with 440 volts and 100 amps.”

On our farm, we called such an invention a “cattle prod”.
