Cool Radio Controlled Fishing Video | Bored Science Teacher Uses RC Helicopter
The man in this video is Dave Herbert- a 60 year old science teacher from Iowa who likes to fish as a hobby. As most teachers do, Dave here has had a lot of time on his hands to come up with crazy ideas.
Such as fishing with a remote controlled helicopter.
While I do admit that this idea is quite useless, I was surprised that it actually worked. It’s a little known fact that the RC helicopter in the video only runs for 6 minutes on batteries before having to be completely recharged for an hour. Talk about getting lucky.
But that isn’t the only thing that made me skeptical about the legitimacy of this video. Just before the fish is supposedly caught (1:58), there is a cut. The “dead” giveaway (no pun intended) was the lifelessness of the fish itself. It didn’t even squirm.
As much as I want to believe in this entertaining video, I just can’t. Let’s hope Mr. Herbert’s class doesn’t find out about this. That is, if he even has a class.

The guy isn’t as dum as he looks,he may have hit on something here, l rekon that if you could combine that system to use as a casting aid, ie take bait/lure out. You would need a range of at least 2/3 hundred yards though and be equipped with a release clip so you could drop a lure exactly where you want it, ie over a shoal of game fish, you know the kind you often see just outside casting range beyond the breakers. Give him 9/10 for effort!
