That is really cool! Growing up on the water, it has always been something we have joked about doing, but never possessing the proper equipment to pull it off! I thought those were Pickerel at first, until I noticed the markings on the tail fin. Pike indeed!
That's awesome guys I love it just got me there streamline thrasher 6S going to have to dry it out and be awesome go fishing with my boat Love all your videos been watching for four years you at RC Sparks and crawler Ted's garage my favorites I watched your videos over and over since 2012 and I learned something new every time RC fun for sure
"Sick sad little men" was my first thought. Then I thought it was hilarious. Then I saw the detail on your models and I thought "Cool". But the lure fishing? Bloody genius. I'm off to get a tug boat!
+Jeff Keith Thanks man, the first time was by accident trying to retrieve a dead boat from the water. Tied on a line and lure to go get the other boat and thought i got snagged. Then the boat went backwards. I've been hooked since. Yeah I'm just a big kid lol
Great stuff guys....I experimented with this myself back in the 80's, tied into a large rainbow on BC's Shuswap lake from a (smaller than yours) electric boat, then made the supreme mistake of letting the fish get too close to beam, boat rolled to port side then sank in 150 ft of water.....However, your entire effort is clearly a labor of love, and I'm talking from the time and thought you've obviously put in to the trucks, boats and trailers to the catching of pike.....From one modeller (and avid fisherman) to two others...Dang well done.
Twenty years ago I told my buds that this would be an awesome way to fish small lakes and they said i was nuts. I even felt the boats should be equipped with electronic reels but maybe that's too much. Thanks for proving me right. Please make more videos.
This is the best way to go fishing. Next project should be a scale whaling ship, so you can drag the fish on board while you're out there and reset the lure. You could get a whole bucketful of fish in one go! :P
+Josiah Knoedler It's an awesome day. You're all relaxed in your chair enjoying the sun and bam! Graqbbing the remote to drive it to shore while the fish just wants to dive! lol love it !
Good Idea! next time try with a quadcopter with floats! Amazing how strong those boats are to pull massive fish like that. It's good that you let the fish go after they are caught.
I thought after the title .....they will fish in a boat with rods....while playing with their rc's.......well how wrong was I!! Never seen that before...awsome fun....real fishing with scaled boats!....you are catching gigantic whales! Lol.... Don't go over your catch limit....the fish won't be allowed at port...lol! :--)
Goanna get me a RCA boat fosho! My brother and I fish all the time, this would be a great way to fish from the shore at camp. Got to be away to mount a functional RCA fishing reel on the stern with some sort of sensor to detect a fish that will trigger a LED on the remote and I could control the length of the fishing line while navigating the depth of the lake. Also the fish would be reeled up while the vessel is being run aground. Or keep it simple, have a flag that would pop up that said the words FISH ON! Also I would come up with some sort of remote trigger small air tank that would deploy a waterproof bag for recovery after the EPIC sinking :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
are the boats stock or did you have to upgrade any parts? and how big of a fish can you bring in? also this video is great I hope to see more like this
+RC ATHLETES I think I need a Rc boat now and tow it behind my scx 10 then to go fishing . I could do that all day . in fact I would lose my job coz i would be rc fishing all the time. got a new subscriber here that's for sure keep up the good videos
+Luke Young Big smile on my face right now man lol, love hearing that! While i hope you never lose your job, you should try this. Sitting there in a lawn chair enjoying the sun and a pop and then the boat jerks! The fight is on!! lol
RC ATHLETES Alligator gar fight pretty good too. More than a catfish. It was funny when i thought i hooked a gar one time but ended up being a large catfish.
I love aquacraft product. More so lately because they improved their electronics. My next boat will be the rescue 17. Sorry i took so long to respond :)
You got some weird pike over there.. Ours is green on the back and last one I caught was something like 30 pounds lol, damn near broke my rod.. That would definetely sink your battleship :p
I have tried RC fishing a few times, but with very thin line, because I was worried about sinking my boat :p I could get a bass weighing 150 grams, OR a 30 pound pike, so using a scratchbuilt, V hull foamie at about 45cm with a 540 and 7.2V NiCd`s eeeeeeh, I went with the thin wire.. Didn`t catch anything, probably went to fast lol..
+jan christian Frodahl yeah you to putt putt around. I waterproofed all my electronics so i can still drive while sinking lol. I will always get it back too. Full of foam and we go to a enclosed man made lake.
We're hoping that happens on film lol. We've been toed backwards but not under. Pike give up quick too. I've never done this anywhere else. I want to sink it though. I'll get it back don't worry lol
RC ATHLETES Hahaha! 18"-20" Pike! Them be just babies, wait till that 3 Foot Mama Fishy Hooks on! That could be a bit of a Problem...lmao Maybe you should consider something in the Aircraft Carrier size..hehehe! Loved the Vid, Nice work..keep it coming... :)
Hi guys! I just picked up a german made fishing trawler. The electronics in it are fried so I am in the process of rebuilding it with new receiver,esc,and mabe servo. I havent gotten the transmitter or receiver as of yet. I bought the Tactic 410 and a 4 channel receiver as well as a new brushed esc. The original motor,servo and winch motors all function. The original circuit board was coated in wax,I couldnt even test it properly because the wax kept getting into my tester. My original idea was to use it for rescue of my rc float plane but I may outfit the winch with fishline and use it for fishing. The transmitter is the recommended replacement for the Antlantic trawler since the original 409 is no longer available. I may have the numbers wrong but,what do you think?
+RC ATHLETES I know there are replacement motors available for one of the RC boats sold but like you said,I dont know how strong they would be. I am not sure what fish I would go for,nothing too big, I wouldnt be too sure about catching a small mouth bass,they can really put up a battle. I am thinking more like sunfish or bluegills. You guys were doing pretty good with those pike. I used to have a spot with lots of pike about that size. Most were just under the size limit. I was trying to think of how to mount an ice fishing reel onto the back of a boat,somehow mate it to a motor. That would be cool. I guess my transmitter and receiver are in. I am away working this week so not getting anything done with the Trawler. I believe I have everything I need now. ESC servo,receiver,and motors,just have to wire everything up and waterproof everything. They sell a silicone spray called corrosionX thats is supposed to be the best for waterproofing electronics,ever hear of it? Flite Test was doing a review and threw airplane electronics in a tank of water,it never hurt the stuff. I may get a can. Insurance more than anything
+RC ATHLETES awesome! they get pretty big here! Early evening is the best time to catch those bass too,just before sunset,you can really nail them! I will order a can of that stuff,any idea where to get it?
Not sure, i don't use it myself. I use Butyl gasket. It's available from any HVAC supplier. OK maybe not any, but most should have it. A hardware store or maybe automotive suplly should have the cx i'd imagine.
well you can't beat fun for having a good time quote from my dad - fished all my life but now doing rc in my golden years lol - this shit looks like just too much fun. wondering how the WY Game and Fish would write the ticket. Or maybe use the rc to take the bait to the middle and servo drop it.
+codymatman We've had them walk by us but never stop. what we do though is follow all the local bylaws. Barbless hooks, obey times and locations and we all have our licences. Also try and stay with in casting range.
I shared this video years ago.
It just came up in my memory feed.
I never had a clue haha.
Still love this one.
My first RC video ever watched!
Love the idea of fishing like this. Hope to see the boat in action one of these days for myself.
Seriously cool....what a wicked way to combine 2 hobbies and make them even more enjoyable.I hope fish and wildlife dont wreck your fun.
Thanks Man!! Great time!
That is really cool! Growing up on the water, it has always been something we have joked about doing, but never possessing the proper equipment to pull it off!
I thought those were Pickerel at first, until I noticed the markings on the tail fin. Pike indeed!
+Danny Carlo Make it a goal man. This is way more fun than it looks lol
That's awesome guys I love it just got me there streamline thrasher 6S going to have to dry it out and be awesome go fishing with my boat Love all your videos been watching for four years you at RC Sparks and crawler Ted's garage my favorites I watched your videos over and over since 2012 and I learned something new every time RC fun for sure
Thank you very much! I don't put out many nowa days put i really appreciate it!! Thank you :)
"Sick sad little men" was my first thought. Then I thought it was hilarious. Then I saw the detail on your models and I thought "Cool". But the lure fishing? Bloody genius. I'm off to get a tug boat!
+Jeff Keith Thanks man, the first time was by accident trying to retrieve a dead boat from the water. Tied on a line and lure to go get the other boat and thought i got snagged. Then the boat went backwards. I've been hooked since. Yeah I'm just a big kid lol
Outstanding job gents!
As a keen angler and modeller I couldn't think of a better way of spending a day.
You got that right! Thanks!
RC ATHLETES
Great stuff guys....I experimented with this myself back in the 80's, tied into a large rainbow on BC's Shuswap lake from a (smaller than yours) electric boat, then made the supreme mistake of letting the fish get too close to beam, boat rolled to port side then sank in 150 ft of water.....However, your entire effort is clearly a labor of love, and I'm talking from the time and thought you've obviously put in to the trucks, boats and trailers to the catching of pike.....From one modeller (and avid fisherman) to two others...Dang well done.
Rob Stevens Well put and thank you very much. Sorry you lost a boat. If it happens to me i just hope i catch it live on film lol
Great video. Beaver seems to be enjoying swimming by rc boats. lol
Weird little critter lol
It would be a disaster if the beaver swatted it with his tail.
Looks like the perfect birthday! Too much fun! Thanks for the video!
Thanks Joe, was a great day :)
Neat idea,I normally wouldn't fish a spot with so many small pike but that seams to be a great way to go about it.
Missed this comment earlier, sorry. It's a great way to spend a day :)
np,my daughter is still a little young but she loves boats and fishing.This is definitely on the to do list down the line.
That's awesome dude! I hope you guys have a blast!
that was an awesome show ! i had a smile from ear to ear as soon as i clicked on the vid! i still can't get the smile off my face! lol thanks lyle
Thats awesome lol , thanks dude!
Good idea of catching Fish .RC works great .Enjoyed !!!
SfreeBoss Thanks dude, happened by accident one day then it became another rc addiction lol
Twenty years ago I told my buds that this would be an awesome way to fish small lakes and they said i was nuts. I even felt the boats should be equipped with electronic reels but maybe that's too much. Thanks for proving me right. Please make more videos.
+joseph Van Wie lol thanks man, i got a few more on my channel. I'll keep going but have to wait until May now.
😁👍 Had to watch this! it's awesome you get them beauties with a boat! I joined ya.
Awesome I have to try this .. I see you have a beautiful sunny Canadian day just like in Michigan nice and cloudy awesome boats
Yeah, i go out every may 16th. This year was the first sunny one in 4 years lol.
Thanks too!!
anyone think it's actually hilarious that they back these "boats" in the lake with a "car" like they do in real life lol I'm dead
I was like wtf
karthy part of scaling
missed this comment, sorry. It addes to the fun for sure :) thanks for checking it out
karthy

This is the best way to go fishing. Next project should be a scale whaling ship, so you can drag the fish on board while you're out there and reset the lure. You could get a whole bucketful of fish in one go! :P
If we kept them id try that but with the catch and release we try and be nice to them :)
never even thought of that. Awesome idea. Just a suggestion you should take an RC winch and put it on the back and use that so you couldd reel them in
Damm amazing ! first time I have seen people fish with RC boats ! aha great :)
+xLeaDFusioNx lol Thanks man, feel free to give it a try.
I love those atlantic harbor tugs!
Decent detail on them, good boats
RC fishing, now i want a boat... thanks guys great idea. :):):)
mike galia lol Thank you! you won't regret it if you do :)
You should make it a rule that you have to keep your pliers/disgorger on the boat and they are the only ones you can use. Great stuff guys.
Alexander Presslie interesting, they would need to be tethered too... we'll see (;
Hello from southeast alaska. Boy you looked young in this video. 8 years ago. Cool video
That's actually a brilliant way for people who can't afford a boat to still reap the benefits of trolling.
+Josiah Knoedler It's an awesome day. You're all relaxed in your chair enjoying the sun and bam! Graqbbing the remote to drive it to shore while the fish just wants to dive! lol love it !
That was cool, never thought of fish with Rc boats before. I liked it keep up the good work. :)
+Joe Johnson Thanks man, first time was by accident when trying to retrieve a dead boat from the water. I've been hooked since! lol!
you are the only people i've seen fishing with RC so far, nice!
Thanks man, first time was by accident. Now I'm hooked lol
Rc boating!!!!! Made my own boat trailer posted on my channel!! Waiting on my hull to come in!! Can’t wait to drive my boat around!!
I love these setups. I've got to get atleast a boat to start with so I can go fishing with it.
+allan fulton Thanks man, i love this stuff :)
great fishing footage!
Thanks Tim, got a boat? lol
Not yet, it's on my list though.
Looks like you guys were having awesome luck!
It was a good day on the lake, 7 total i think. Get that card buddy lol
Good Idea! next time try with a quadcopter with floats! Amazing how strong those boats are to pull massive fish like that. It's good that you let the fish go after they are caught.
Interesting idea. I don't own one that big but you got me thinking :)
The DJI Phantom 1, 2 and 3 all have impressive lift! consider getting one.
I thought after the title .....they will fish in a boat with rods....while playing with their rc's.......well how wrong was I!!
Never seen that before...awsome fun....real fishing with scaled boats!....you are catching gigantic whales! Lol....
Don't go over your catch limit....the fish won't be allowed at port...lol! :--)
Sam Lawrence it is an awesome time! Thanks for checking it out!!
Awesome
Well done
Great stuff
Great catch
Great video
That's looks like fun
That's awesome
Love ya work
+Simon paynter lol thank you very much :) no better way to spend a summers day :)
Nice boats for sure, I'm wanting a tug for the collection!
It's a good boat :)
Guess that big fish had balls too and not just your boat! Dam that boat was fast at the end!
Stephen Nicholas lol
The spartan is fast... and loud lol
Keep up the great workings guys!
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Watched the whole playlist! Really cool, might just get me a boat :-) looks like carburn is a good spot hey :-) good clips bud
RC Trailblazr So much fun dude! Even if i get skunked, i still have a great day!!
Awesome buddy

Happy belated birthday buddy love the fishing videos
Thanks bama!
This is awesome! Eff work! Hell yea fishing & hell yea RC's!
+DIRTYYETTI Double thanks man!! Caught a 20" yesterday. Vid up in a couple days
Goanna get me a RCA boat fosho!
My brother and I fish all the time, this would be a great way to fish from the shore at camp. Got to be away to mount a functional RCA fishing reel on the stern with some sort of sensor to detect a fish that will trigger a LED on the remote and I could control the length of the fishing line while navigating the depth of the lake.

Also I would come up with some sort of remote trigger small air tank that would deploy a waterproof bag for recovery after the EPIC sinking :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
Dude that sounds EPIC! lol Go for it man! This is a great way to spend a day!
That was REALLY cool
+Starguard ! Thank you!!
very cool boats and trailer
finally going to buy an rc boat this summer.
You won't regret it! Get a recovery system like a fishing rod or a swim suit lol
Nice vid man.
He he cool fishing vid. I think that fish is called gjedde in Norwegian. They got super sharp teeth right and a lot of them.
Sharp but tiny. Enough to cut my line lol
Great video, looks like fun
Artseventy6 one of the best ways to spend the day
Nice video guys! I recommend adding some weight to your trucks for more traction and to feel more scale.
we tried that. Works but i think im going to go 6x6 :)
6x6 would be nice!
Wait.....i didnt know people did this. WTF. Makes sense though. I REALLY wanna try this now. This is awesome! Thanks!!
Pat Rigdon It's a total blast dude! I highly recommend it!
I would never have thought of doing this!
First time was an accident, now i love it! More exciting than it looks
great video guys, good job
RC Guy Thanks dude :)
I cant believe how many you guys got🤯 good thing there all small ones, even though I'd like to the boat take on a good 10 pounder🤞🇨🇦
This is certainly a fun way to fish 😊 I hope to catch larger of course lol
nice catch : )
Thanks man
Oh, and I almost forgot..... even more kudos to the pair of ya for catching and releasing.....yoo da guys ;)
Rob Stevens Thanks man, we wished we could do this without the hooks some how
great job guys
+Tj Stone Thanks!
Those are some nice pike
Thanks man :)
Great vid Lyle👍
+MudMisfit Thanks buddy :)
awsom!!!!!!!!!!!
+Ahava Tsukroff Thank you!!
You should make a whole channel to fishing with RC boats !
+xLeaDFusioNx I've thought about and i might one day but i don't think i produce enough footage you know? If i get more bouts i might :)
Awesome video! Thanks!
Hemi4speed Thanks! And you're welcome!! :D
Cool gemacht aber eine frage habt ihr die schiffe selber gebaut oder nicht?
Happy birthday budddy few months late lol looked like a good day for fishn subscribed
Double thanks there!
Amazing brother Have a good day
are the boats stock or did you have to upgrade any parts? and how big of a fish can you bring in? also this video is great I hope to see more like this
Up graded the radio and using a lipo batt. Stock electronics in esc, servo and rx
bloody brilliant !
+Luke Young Thanks man! It's a hobby i can't get tired of :)
+RC ATHLETES I think I need a Rc boat now and tow it behind my scx 10 then to go fishing . I could do that all day . in fact I would lose my job coz i would be rc fishing all the time. got a new subscriber here that's for sure keep up the good videos
+Luke Young Big smile on my face right now man lol, love hearing that! While i hope you never lose your job, you should try this. Sitting there in a lawn chair enjoying the sun and a pop and then the boat jerks! The fight is on!! lol
This is hilarious! Way to go you guys..
+kiloechocharlie Thanks man, it's a great time :)
All ways wanted to do that... afraid boat would be pulled under. Thats some big fish for the boat. Guess it takes a lot to sink a boat.
hydrojet7x70 They're surprisingly buoyant.
Hell yeah, same birthday!
Sweet! Happy belated lol
looks awesome fun. neat
+Will Whittaker Sure is dude! Thanks!
I luv rum! Bro u are doin a fantastic job ! Keep it up !
ken rajroop Thanks man, will do
didn't think a RC boat would be powerful enough to drag one of those behind it. Wonder how one of those would do against a bass, catfish, or a gar.
+Jormungand13324 I'd love to after some green bass, great fighters!
RC ATHLETES Alligator gar fight pretty good too. More than a catfish. It was funny when i thought i hooked a gar one time but ended up being a large catfish.
wow. coolest way to fish ever. im thinking of getting an RC boat or plane. any companies or models you suggest?
I love aquacraft product. More so lately because they improved their electronics. My next boat will be the rescue 17. Sorry i took so long to respond :)
RC ATHLETES Thanks a lot. I'll look into some of their products.
RC ATHLETES
Great fishing.
I got to try this..... when I get a boat... thats not walmart quality (that means broken haha).
Classic video, thanks for checking in out man 👍
Nice video
+Josh Henson Thank you
this is amazing
Thanks! Its a great way to spend a day!!
I would like to see when you caught that 26 inch pike.
This is too cool!
Thank you!
Thats so cool
two things I love together
+pug life Darn right lol
Awesome!!!!
Thanks!
hey brother happy bday n that video was kick ass, it makes me want a boat so I can go fishing like that to lol.
i highly recommend it. Very good times out there :)
who shall have the fishy on the little dishy, who shall have the fishy when the boat comes in:)
lol
Watching this on exactly 10.000 subs !
where you the 10,000th ? and thank you!
+RC ATHLETES i whas watching on 10k :) nice boats btw
I love this guys
You got some weird pike over there.. Ours is green on the back and last one I caught was something like 30 pounds lol, damn near broke my rod.. That would definetely sink your battleship :p
+jan christian Frodahl I'm hoping for that to happen on camera lol
PLOPP! :D
I have tried RC fishing a few times, but with very thin line, because I was worried about sinking my boat :p
I could get a bass weighing 150 grams, OR a 30 pound pike, so using a scratchbuilt, V hull foamie at about 45cm with a 540 and 7.2V NiCd`s eeeeeeh, I went with the thin wire..
Didn`t catch anything, probably went to fast lol..
+jan christian Frodahl yeah you to putt putt around. I waterproofed all my electronics so i can still drive while sinking lol. I will always get it back too. Full of foam and we go to a enclosed man made lake.
Sounds good :)
What would you do if a 30"-40" latches on? That would be a great video to see!!
+charleskro1 Thats what we're hoping for. Ted's been towed backwards before but we want to see a boat go under lol
That's so awse thanks for thanks for showing me
Thanks! And you're welcome!
Im just really curious...Have you guys ever caught a fish that your boat couldnt bring in? and what do you do if that happens?
We're hoping that happens on film lol. We've been toed backwards but not under. Pike give up quick too. I've never done this anywhere else. I want to sink it though. I'll get it back don't worry lol
haha that would be awesome! i hope you get it on film too!
RC ATHLETES Hahaha! 18"-20" Pike! Them be just babies, wait till that 3 Foot Mama Fishy Hooks on! That could be a bit of a Problem...lmao Maybe you should consider something in the Aircraft Carrier size..hehehe!
Loved the Vid, Nice work..keep it coming... :)
pretty cool
+Nate 24/7 Thanks!

That is something!

+codymatman We've had them walk by us but never stop. what we do though is follow all the local bylaws. Barbless hooks, obey times and locations and we all have our licences. Also try and stay with in casting range.
This is awesome!!!!
Hahaha darn right!
lol the trailer floats!
We'll fix that lol
Ha looks like fun!
HydraYak Outdoors sure is man :)
nice man good job.
Thanks dude :)
Happy bday
Jennifer Boettlin Thank you :)
I luv rum ! Need some rum in dis video bro
ken rajroop We're beer drinkers but it could happen lol
