Electroshocking Stripers in North Carolina river.

Hard to watch but I guess it only stuns them for a while.

That's a whole lot of fish but the best part of the video was at the end when Grandpa had his two Grandchildren hooked up at the same time.

I wonder if anyone has ever fallen in and got shocked.

Getting tagged with a backpack shocker is one thing, but boat units pack quite a wallop and are not to be trifled with. I know of someone that should know better that stuck a hand over the side to wash some fish slime off her hand... as well as an observer on a shock boat that picked a bad time to piss off the stern...

and no, if operated correctly the mortality rate as very low for most fish.
