call the fish on the phone

A fishing technique where an old hand crank telephone has it's wires cut and in the water. When the fisherman turns the crank, the wires electrify the water and makes the fish rise to the surface. Use of this technique is highly illegal and extremely dangerous.

My friend: Hey boss the fish ain't biting.
Me: Looks like we're gonna have to call the fish on the phone!
My friend: What is that?
Me: I'm gonna put these cables in the water and turn the crank.

Moments later

My friend: What the f*ck? The fish are rising!
Me: All you have to do now is scoop them up with a net!
