Fish trap ,no strings attached!

cracker · 12-04-2007, 10:57 PM

Folks I seriously have too much time on my hands!

I haven't "actually" trapped a fish yet, but the mechanics work!
The pics are pretty self explanatory.

An old Penguin ph, with a hole drill thru one of the impeller blades.

The power chord plugs into a 10$ wireless remote from HD.

Now I haven't tested it in the tank but works just fine in a bucket of water. The ph is easily detached from the trap. If anybody is actually interested I have some more pics. It was a fun, project, low dollar & should work.

Thanks go to "WoodStock" for the close up pics of her trap & "vdituri" for the inspiration!

You actually did that! Good job.

tbittner · 12-04-2007, 11:59 PM

Wow! Fantastic idea! I bet Bob could have caught his damsel without hiding under a blanket, behind the couch with this.

Dr. Hank would be eternally grateful as would I if you were to come to my house and test this on a hippo tang. Then on your way back to where ever you could take the tang with you and drop it off at Dr. Hanks. Now that is personal service...

PAin pills have kicked in and I am quitting before I push this typing thing too much. Oh yeah, I think split royalties go to your inspirations.
