great uncle) used to fish with calcium carbide, the stuff they used in miner's helmets. he would get a big baby food jar, fill it half way with sand then put 2 tablespoons of carbide in there. He then would put 2 tablespoons of water in there, seal the lid real quick and pitch it in the creek. In a bit the jar exploded and some big fish would float to the surface. He picked out the ones he liked and the others came back to and wiggled off with a helluva headache.
