Catching Fish with Dynamite

Some may regard as bashing the idea of Americans fishing with dynamite.  Nevertheless, it's true.  My own reference is to a movie, "Doc Hollywood," but a friend told me he knew a guy who somehow obtained some military fragmentation grenades and used them for fishing.  In that case apparently it wasn't long before SWAT team arrived.

The first thing a kid does when he gets an M-80 (said to be a military device used for battlefield simulations) is to take it down to a lake because, man, this is so cool ... the wick is waterproof.  Well. The fish will love that news, won't they.  Ka-boom.  The M-80 is probably illegal ... but it was illegal when we played with them a long time ago.  If you can find them then do expect a satisfactory bang that's significantly bigger than a Cherry Bomb or a Silver Salute.  They're exceptionally dangerous ... but they make one excellent bang.  They do well in sewers as that imparts an excellent resonance that will bring everyone in the neighborhood outside.

Yes, be fast or expect to be arrested.  Back then you could expect an ass-whoopin' from yer ol' Dad but I guess these days they'd call you a terrorist (shrug).

Note:  I was not the one who flushed an M-80 down one of the school's toilets and blew out the entire plumbing system.

The principle is simple as the bang makes a compression wave that knocks out or kills any fish in range of it.  Then you just paddle over and pick up the biggest ones for dinner.  I doubt it happens all that much as other fishermen would burn your boat for doing it.  When someone has been trying for twenty years to catch ol' Fatmouth the Gigantic Catfish down there and you blow him up with yer munitions, the situation will not resolve well and it may be you who ends up mounted on his wall rather than ol' Fatmouth.

"Doc Hollywood" isn't a boobs, bombs, and vampires movie but it does have a brief boob appearance and, more impressively, it's from Julie Warner's boobs.  It's not even close to a sex flick, tho.


Sorry the pic is absent of any boob exposure but you will have to do your own research.  She is completely not Hollywood in the movie and easily puts the cocky New Yorker (Michael J Fox) in his place.
