I am planning to built a "pulsated dc output" fish stunner. Source as a 12v 7.2Ah sealed lead acid battery. I have no idea about how much voltage and current is required to stun a medium size fish, let say a cat fish or a smaller one? And i am very much worried about the safety. Fishing will be mostly in small ponds which have a 3 feet depth.Please put some light on it. Advance thanks for helping.

I got lot of circuits from google. The thing i am worried about is the safety. One i got have a 300vdc 10milliamp output , will it be dangerous to human.For the first time playing with high voltage.
I am doing this for my uncle, who have a fish farm. He said his friends are using the same thing for fishing in their farms, so i don't know whether there is any legal issues.. I am interested only in making the stuff not in fishing.
Interesting idea. Some large fish can be dangerous to handle once in the boat.
I also wonder if this would work on alligators, crock's , etc., when they try to attack.
Just have to be careful with all the water around...if you shock yourself too the animals have a nice meal

Seems like it would be easiest to find out what your uncle's friends are using, or at least the basic concepts, i.e., voltage/current levels, energy source(s), etc..
Used to use a 3Kv unit for salt and brackish water electro-fishing while I was with the SC DNR. It had a stun area with about a 15' diameter. It did not affect (or at least effectively disable) fish much bigger than 10" to 12" in length. Not sure what might be needed for fresh water since conductivity severely restricted.
