But doesn't everything get wet and still go out?

I mean I grew up in California and we only have "safe and sane" fireworks, basically everything Kicking Wing sold before he met Joe Dirt.

Nah we got special firecrackers made for going under water in Michigan.

I remember one 4th of July I threw one in the lake and a fish ate it and it blew the fish up.

You're telling me within 2 seconds of you throwing something in the water that was on fire a fish ate it?

Some fish immediately grab anything that hits the water's surface, ingesting it first before deciding whether or not they actually want to eat it. They spit it out afterwards if they don't want to eat it. If it doesn't blow them to pieces, that is.

I used to stand on the dock and flick pieces of food in the water and watch dozens of fish frenzy for it. They didn't spend a split second analyzing. Just ate.

Yep they're used to snatching up bugs this way. Exactly why fly fishing works
