Dealing with our workload the only way we know how - endless procrastination and deadline renegotiations - we stumbled across a video of a man fishing using his drone.

You know what they say: give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish with a drone and it's all he'll do for the rest of his life.

If we're quite honest, we wouldn't recommend it. Not because we're unsure of the legalities, but because if you happen to hook a whopper, your drone will be underwater before you can say What the Moby Dick just happened.

Besides, drone fishing requires holding said drone very still for extended periods of time. Which is almost like buying a Ferrari only to drive in the slow lane.

Take our advice: fly fast or come last. Which ties in nicely with the next video we watched - drone racing.
