He’s not the first person to catch a fish with a drone, but he might have the best video. Whether or not you believe this was actually Farmer Derek‘s first try, you can’t deny he was successful.
He also has the advantage of having his drone’s camera recording at the moment the fish strikes so you can verify his authenticity.
We wouldn’t recommend trying this at home, on the off chance you hook a larger fish and lose your drone.
Though, now that I’m thinking about it, I would like to see someone conduct an experiment answering the question “What is the maximum size fish a DJI Phantom can pull out of the water?”
