A cool video has emerged from the United States of fishermen using a drone to catch a large shark.

In clip, which was filmed in Palm Beach County, Florida on May 17, the fishermen use a drone to fly the line and bait more than 1000 feet (304 metres) out to sea where they drop it close to a lemon shark.

Sure enough, the predator takes the bait and they then reel it in the traditional way with a rod.

"We can see fish through the camera on the drone and can drop it around them at will," the filmer wrote online.

We had non stop action today but this lemon shark was the biggest of the day. We also caught two tagged nurse sharks, two blacktip sharks, and hooked several other fish. Each fish was caught after dropping a bait with the drone. We can see fish through the camera on the drone and can drop it around them at will. The bait that caught this fish was flown out over 1000 feet before it was dropped from the drone.
