I found it. I will be bidding on it!
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Congratulations Cecil!
You'll love it. We love electrofishing as an option for fish harvest on our farm.
I'll ship tomorrow.

I have the boat, now I need to get the boom together, need a generator, electronic connections etc. This should make getting at least some of the smallmouth out for Sunil easier this spring. Thinking of draining the pond down a few feet to make sure I get as many as possible. I can easily refill with the well pump.

I probably will but my dad does have an electrical background being a retired I & R Telephone man. He wires everything around here for me. Can I build most of this stuff without ordering it from someone like Smith/Root? Seems like their prices are really marked up for even the smallest components. I haven't tested my pond water but if it's like the well water that feeds into my ponds. it's about 350 mg/l. Conductivity is in the midrange but I can't seem to find the reading right now.

Cecil, are you going to dream of electrofishing each night now?
I know the excitement would be killing me.

Cecil, be REAL careful with that new toy. I don't want to hear about you surpassing me as the most accident prone guy posting here.

I actually have some experience with these when I was a biologist aid intern way back in 1978 and 1979. I also did some electroshocking on a nearby public lake a couple of years ago with a biologist when I wrote a column for a local paper. Back in '79' i remember coming around a corner of a reservoir and I was the one with the foot on the pedal. All of a sudden there's this guy in front of us standing in the water. Fortunately I took my foot off the pedal before the current reached him. The biologist was a jerk though. He thought it was funny to watch a muskrat curl up in a ball from the current. I thought it was cruel.

So far in life I have only shocked earthworms, myself, and about 75 ticked-off head of cattle ("Damn the electric fence!").

I accidentally dropped the end of a vacuum cleaner (while it was running) into a 50 gallon fish tank once. Does that count? It sure enough landed me square on my butt.  *Note to self: Don't clean house with water and electicity. Check!
Do fish actually kiss?
