Yesterday the principle member of a web meeting was 15 minutes late, and as a result I spent the time talking with one of my company's database experts about fishing.

For 5 years, she has been using radio controlled boats to run a line and a baited hook or a lure around ponds and lakes to catch fish! I asked how use of a battery powered RC boat limited her fishing capabilities, and she told me that 1) there was about a 2 hour limit on battery life and 2) she has lost 2 RC boats when she hooked something big enough to pull them under water. When her battery is dead, she switches to a conventional rod and reel.

I wanted to ask if anyone here has also combined fishing with the challenge of piloting a radio controlled boat.
