1. It's also a bullshit way to fish

It kills everything within a big radius, including fish we don't eat (but other fish do). In Greece, they used dynamite for years because it was a fast way to get a lot of local fish. Guess whose local waters are nearly devoid of fish? In some parts of Greece, fishermen have to sail far from their home ports to find anything to put on Greek tables. When we were in Crete, the local waters were positively barren. So not only do I have no sympathy for the idiots in this short clip, I wish a similar fate to everyone who thinks this is a legitimate way to fish.

these men throwing dynamite in the lake in Colorado while he was out hunting. He sent my cousin to call the sheriff ( no cell phones then) while he held them at gun point with his hunting rifle. He told them he was making a citizens arrest. The sheriff sent people and they arrested those guys. They had stolen the dynamite. My dad did not get into any trouble. I would have thought he would have gotten into trouble, but he didn't. My dad said there must have been hundreds of dead fish that had floated to the top dead from the dynamite.

Then the perps just leave the 99% of what they killed (but didn't want) to rot, and move on.

12. This might not be fishing but a film stunt gone wrong.

Big Edit:

In the comments on the video on youtube it says this is a stunt gone wrong for Expendables 2. And that one of the stunt men died. I don't have any way of verifying. Anyone else know?




From the comment section:

Stunt gone wrong on set of movie Expendables 2 while filming in Bulgaria. The
two guys in the boat were stuntmen and they were receiving direction
from off-camera. They thought there was a timer on the grenade so it
would go off deep under water but it was a Russian model that was set




This could be a gif of is death, we are laughing at.
