Though not fish related I also had a shocking experience once while walking in a small creek through some farmer fields scouting spots to set my trap line. My focus being on the banks when I came to a fence kind of drooped over the creek I just reached out to lift it up to pass under it more easily. Yep, it was electric!
As a young adult managing a Chuck E Cheese I had to fix a kiddie ride, so I bent over it's side and stretched barely touching the ground,in fact at times I think my feet were just hanging as it had a very awkward token box placement. I opened the box and saw that the trip wire had bent so it wasn't making contact so I just pushed it with my finger. Contact was made, unfortunately it included me so here I am getting shocked stuck hanging half inside a kiddie ride that now worked quite well, bouncing me all over the place. Apparently it eventually bounced me out as I came to laying on my back on the floor being watched over by a smiling dad and his toddler.
The switch to natives? Well I have less heaters to worry about. May have more stories soon. I need to rewire my fish room one of these days.
