ive done that as well.
12 gauge while duck hunting the Mississippi.
When I was in the army (light years ago) we sometimes went fishing in a wild way. We would throw a piece a bread in the water and wait for the fish to come to the surface to start feeding on the bread. Then we put a bullet right through the middle of the bread. The impact of the bullet on the water would stun the fish and we would take some and leave the rest. Those would swim away a few minutes later. It worked best with M14, SKS and AK47 all high speed with fairly large caliber bullets. It would not work with UZI. The bullets were to slow. M16 would not work either, in spite of the high velocity 5.56 was not large enough of a caliber.
