When fishing with GRENADES goes terribly, terribly wrong (where else, but in Russia, of course)


  • Two fishermen in Russia are knocked over by the blast as a hand grenade they were using to catch fish explodes too early
  • The grenade fishing attempt was filmed and has been posted online
  • There has been more than 100,000 views of the video

‘Gone fishing’ is a phrase usually associated with a quiet afternoon out on the water, fishing rod in hand, pondering the world.

But these fishermen decided to forget rod and reel, opting for much more heavy-duty bait, a hand grenade.

The stupid men are lucky to be alive after their attempt at catching fish in Russia.

Scroll down to watch the video

Detonates too early: Just a moment later the grenade explodes as it hits the water

The hand grenade, which
one of them dropped from their inflatable boat, exploded early just as
it hit the water knocking the men over and equipment flying into the water.

The
explosion did not destroy the boat but the men remain still, stunned by
the premature blast but seemed able to get up a few moments afterward.

The video, filmed presumably from a nearby boat, captured the moments as their hand grenade fishing went horribly wrong.

Website LiveLeak.com posted the video online on Monday and it has already been
watched more than 100,000 times and another 10,000 on YouTube.


Stunned: The fisherman who dropped the grenade gets up slowly after being thrown across the boat

As the smoke clears: The fisherman goes to the aid of his friend, still dazed by the blast

A LiveLeak staffer said: 'It seems like a shot from a movie went horribly wrong.'

Someone commented: 'Hillbilly handfishin' russian style!'

Another said: 'I can see safety is of no concern.'

A YouTube user said: 'Guess for dinner they're having salmon... Smoked.'

Hand grenades are a common, but environmentally catastrophic, way of catching fish in some parts of the world.

The explosives are usually detonated underwater allowing the fisherman to collect the dead fish as they float to the surface.

If you look, you will find the entire video.

"But according to commenters, it was a really stunt for a movie — which
makes sense, since you can hear someone shouting directions to the men
through a bullhorn."

"Do tell?"
