Some people I've heard "shock" the fish via lighting, it almost stuns them in place.

Rofl. The flash doesn't stun the fish in place. LOL!!!

The flash is just such a quick burst of light that it freezes the action when taking the photo. It's the same as using a quick shutter speed

Most fish will frequent certain areas due to the whole territorial thing, so setup your camera on a tripod and pick a specific area for each individual fish. Then if you have burst mode or multiply frame setting pre-focus and lock your focus until your fish swims into that specific area and simply release the shutter to shoot multiple frames which might or might not result in a great image, for every 40-50 fish images i get one or two keepers-thank goodness for digital cameras!!!

Adding some food before hand is also a trick i use, it slows them down a little not to mention it keeps them smiling
