Fishing with drones?

Drones have been are really cool. They gained a huge amount of popularity in the last view years. I’ve programmed a Leap Motion Controller to control one, and I’ve worked on controlling one with only brain sensors. Cool stuff.

Drones have a wide array of uses, honestly, I’m most looking forward to 30 minute Amazon deliveries. I just saw another use of drones that blows my minds. Someone rigged fishing line to a drone such that they could bait the hook, fly it out with the drone, drop it directly onto of the undisturbed fish, in this case tuna, and then as soon as a fish went after the bait, the knot on the drone broke, leaving just the main line and the runs for the person waiting all the way back at the beach to real in. This is so creative –– I love everything about this. Using new technology to revise a hobby and sport as old as history. 

Seeing this kind of creativity fuse technology with everyday life is so exciting to see and expands to almost everything. It’s just a showcase of how technology changes our world in ways we would have never expected.
