I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to electricity but is there really an electrocution danger from fish shocking? Our DNR uses backpack units where they walk in the water with waders. That has to be real dangerous! I'm thinking that since electricity takes the shortest path to ground there would be little danger in sticking your hand out of a boat since the electricity would be traveling from electrode to electrode amidst a rather large volume of water. Perhaps the danger is in the fact that the human body is more conductive than water? What kind of voltage and current are we talking about anyway?
