Helicopter fishing?

[SHOOB]

I thought it was fake at first then... Seems pretty cool but alot more expensive gear than a zebco.

US Navy helios have been "known" to "fish" now and again...

It's quite popular with Cattle Station owners and Telstra workers in Northern Australia... but with the size of the fish up there you pretty much need a helo to reel them in!

Wow, that's pretty cool......I don't think I'd be screwing with that marlin though, he might remember that he's got 2 feet of spear on his nose that he's been using all his life....tuna steaks would be nice though....:D

[Offroad]

Oh my god! I didn't know he was going to jump in and wrestle it! :eek:

I thought they were just going to drop a line to catch it and then reel it in.

Incredible!

I'd give it a go! Looks like fun...but why the "catch and release?" If you going to go to that expense and that much trouble...I want something more to show than just a video tape...I want f'ing dinner!

Get the guy that jumped in to hook it up and sling load the fish out of the water.

You sure ashell wouldn'thave to worry about having a fouled snag since you'd be setting it in the mouth...

BTW that was a hell of a belly whopper...

Wow.

That gives a new meaning to the phrase "Catch & Release".
