This week ... a young daredevil takes to the rails - well, above the rails - by taking a wild ride on top of a metro train, and a man takes the term "fly fishing" to new heights by catching a freshwater fish using a drone.  

Drone fisherman makes the ultimate splash 

Is this the future of fishing? Derek Klingenberg, an American farmer living in Kansas, successfully pulled a bluegill out of his pond by baiting a fishing line attached to a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter.

Granted, the process takes patience, but there's a moment of pure joy when Klingenberg realises he'd done it. The drone even filmed an aerial shot of the fish getting hooked. After the big catch, Klingenberg took the perfect Snapchat photo, with the fish and the drone strategically positioned in the frame. Bravo, Derek!
