That is insanely awesome! I'm gonna have to go clean myself up now. Wow, as if I didn't want to fish bad enough already.... I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight

Here is another one from the guys on Thunder out of Texas.

Love the drone videos. I think this is just the beginning. We will be seeing a whole new era in billfishing films due to those flying machines. I saw one of an 800 lb. Black filmed on the GBR from a helicopter while somebody was inbound to a Mothership. I'll have to dig up a copy. It is nice because the guy was using a Pro-sumer quality camera.

One criticism of that Steroid Monster on 'Thunder'. Draping your arms down and just leaving the rod free in the harness, without a hand on top, is a sure fire prescription for a big headache, if the line were to break. Definitely, a no-no and a trip to the dentist or the brain surgeon.

Yup the drones are awesome...I have tried to get a few pilots from up here in Bham to freelance their skills out to cobia fishing... a tower does not come close to a drones capabilities but sadly no interest. I am quite sure a pilot could market themselves for a darn good days pay. I am too interested in fishing to pilot one for anyone otherwise I would jump in the deep end of the pool for even with my RC Heli skillset it is still a steep learning curve for building, programing, piloting, maintenance, and repair of the drone. Not to mention cost factor, for I would want a hex if not an octo for offshore purposes.
