The
crane motor and gearbox were stripped from some motorized vehicle I picked up at
the local toy store. The motor was activated using some switches mounted to a
servo for forward and reverse. As you can see, the crane net was constructed
mainly from panty hose and a plastic 35mm film holder. |

I put a fish hook and some bread
as bait on the end of the crane. When my friend and I were just about to
give up with catching a fish we caught one as we were bringing the boat to
shore. |

I probably should have fried it in
a pan but there was no telling what type of toxic waste was in this pond.
I ended up removing the fish hook and releasing the critter back into the
pond. Years later this pond was filled with dirt and is no longer in
existence. |
