Anyone see this? Pretty sure that’s illegal going across the pocket like that. I don’t think fork is over pool level so that wouldn’t normally be dry ground.

Who knows, maybe someone was having a hard time keeping cattle in.

Maybe they were just trying to protect a few spawning beds. Don't think it was electric. Just a rope.
Fishing line went across it...no shock. Bass pulled across it...no shock. Rod lands on it...no shock.

Most definitely illegal in this state. Doubt it will be up long before somebody cuts it.

Can you cut it with out getting shocked? Electricity always confuses me. Are you grounded on the boat even if the boats not grounded? lol

I think we can safely deduce that it wasn't electrified.

Yeah I agree didn't even look like an electric fence. Just a way to keep a boat out which is what my point of post was. Legally I don't see how it can be there. Has anyone else here seen it before.

I peed on one, once, when I was 4 years old thanks to my brother telling me it would make sparks and believing him... peed all over myself, no sparks. flame

I get a funny visual of that .. standing on your tip toes shooting a rainbow trying to get the stream high enough.
Just for reference how tall were you at four ? One of my favorite pastimes as a teenager was getting the town boys to test it.

Because that's what the video WAS titled. It has sense been changed. So I'll change this post title.

That’s prob not legal, but there is a deer proof fence across a major cove at Medina Lake. Somehow the game wardens said it was LEGAL. Bunch of BS.
