When I was in Maui, I saw the locals fishing with balloons from the dollar store. They used the balloons as bobbers. The wind from behind them, kept pushing the balloons further and further away from the shore. They were able to bring in some pretty big fish without having to cast very far. They let the wind push the balloon and their bait several 100 yards off shore. :-)

Excellent post. Quite nice what Jaiden is offering Douglas. Be well, be safe.

Absolutely bloody epic! Well done!

not only a good way of catching but also great video ;)

Top shelf! I caught a bluegill once with my drone and felt good about myself. I have been dreaming of doing this for a while but you made it happen. Excellent footage as well.

Thats got to be one of the best videos Ive seen in quite a while. Nice job guys.

This is the future. Imagine if the older generations could see this form of fishing. Fair play to ye lads. GREETINGS FROM IRELAND. 🍀🍀🍀

Awesome video guys!

Awesome. Great work guys. Way better than the old wind and balloon days.

Brilliant! Thank you for posting this and way to go being imaginative! Great fun!

Fishing & Flying....just does not get better than that!

This is really amazing....love it....thanks for the video.

How creative you are! I enjoy this!

Super awsome! I thought about this all night after I get up from my sleep next morning a Google search for drone fishing, vola! Idea already taken! Wow super cool! Good job guys

awesome, takes armchair fishing to a whole new level for me

Pretty awesome... I used my DJI to catch a monster bass trolling a jitterbug. The video is on my channel (posted on August 19, 2016). It was pretty epic IMHO. Just search "Drone Bass" and it should be the first result. Enjoy!

Great job guys!!

This is pure brilliance with a dash of awesomeness

That is great! now, if I could just do this same thing with my little Hubsan..

Well that is certainly a novel way of catching tuna. This technique would be great for the harpoon boats that fish for bluefin tuna. Some of them use a small airplane to spot the schools of bluefin tuna. Using the drone would be more efficient method of locating the tuna. The side benefit being is that you get great aerial footage of the fight with the fish.

What did you use for your drop rig, seems like once the tuna took it, it released rather easily.

Boy, this looks challenging.

this is sick dude. awesome vid

Great idea and really well shot too. Nice vid.

No way... Amazing humans!

I don't understand why people that do not enjoy this or put negative comments on come on here and say stupid shit!?? Makes 0 sense to me. If it's not your cup of tea move on. No one asked for your negative opinion. This is a great idea, there is sport in this, 100%. I have been fishing for about 27 years now. I have done everything from tiny pond fishing to multiple day long range deep sea fishing. I enjoy it all. And as fishermen, we try every edge to get to get on fish!! This looks to be a very effective idea. And I don't believe a few drones are gonna make tuna go extinct, big nets do the damage, and that is less sport. Anyway guys keep up the good work, and tight lines!!

$180-$400 depending on the quality. That one's just a baby, so unless it's a lazy lardass that's never been challenged, it's probably lean side and not as oily as the big ones. Those things get 10 feet long and 800 lbs. That looks like a 45 lb fish, probably 25-30lbs dressed. But what do tuna steaks go for at your local market? 30lbs of tuna would feed a small village. That's an unusually-thick tuna steak every day for a month.
