Footage of a man using a drone to catch a fish from a public pond in Canada, an internet first.

The video, filmed in Montreal yesterday, shows the man lowering a sieve into the pond using a drone, then lifting it out with the fish inside.

Once the fish was caught, he immediately threw it back in the water.

He later wrote online: "Another internet first - using a drone to catch a goldfish, no hook involved.

"I made a blast net, which I lowered into a small pond with goldfish, then used the drone to lift the net."

"The first design didn't work, so I switched to a regular strainer, which had much better results," he continued.

"The fish was unharmed."

Another internet first - using a drone to catch a goldfish, no hook involved. I made a makeshift net, which I lowered into a small pond with goldfish, then used the drone to lift the net. The first design didn't work, so I switched to a regular strainer, which had much better results. The fish was unharmed :) On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkY9xngV4mg&feature=youtu.be
