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.
