Dynamite Fishing? Pah!
My Dad used to fish with an old feller who regularly shot Pike as they basked near the surface with a .45. Didn't have to hit them, the shock was enough to kill/stun so all he had to do was scoop them up.

The effects were also graphically illustrated in the 'Cruel Sea' (book and film)- survivors of U-Boat attacks were regularly killed by the shock of their own escort's depth charges exploding - not a nice way to go as you tend to split on the line of least resistance.

Non-compressible mediums, doncha just love 'em?
