Fixed that for ya.
Does that really work? Throw in a piece of dynamite and watch as the fish get pulled up to the surface? Doesn't the dynamite have to be waterproof? Would the explosion char the fish enough that you could eat it right there?
Yes...it works jest fine.
Most dynamite is waterproof enough for this task. (waxy paper coating)
No, the purpose is the shockwave, not the actual explosion. That part just makes chum out of any fish too close to "ground zero."
A farmer in the country noticed that a gentleman would fish at the lake (close to the farmer's house) and would always leave with a stringer full of fish. The fellow had a boat but a fishing pole was not to be seen.
The farmer mentioned the situation to the lake ranger. The ranger then started watching this man and all that the farmer said was true! The man would arrive at the lake in the morning and by early afternoon, he had a stringer full of fish. The ranger dressed like a fisherman one day and approached the man. They exchanged pleasantries and the stranger asked the ranger in disguise to come fish with him. They boated for 45 minutes and arrived at a secluded spot. The stranger then pulled out a stick of dynamite.
The stranger tosses the dynamite into the water and BANG! the surface is covered with fish.
Ranger: "I'm going to have to place you under arrest - I am a Ranger and you are fishing illegally!"
The stranger calmly lit another stick of dynamite and handed it to the ranger. Stranger: "Are you gonna talk or fish?"
