I'm wondering if any of you NANFA people have ever seen or heard of anything
like this; I swear that back when I was a kid a saw a picture of a skin
diver who had what I can only describe as a suction gun, that he was using
to collect fish. It consisted of a transparent cylinder attached to a
vacuum chamber that you would point at the fish. Then there was a trigger
that when pulled would cause the chamber to expand and the fish and its
surrounding water would be sucked into the chamber.

Is there such a thing? Was I dreaming or on drugs (it was 70's)?
