Never say 'you should have seen the size of the one that got away' when you can say 'hey, take a look at the size of the one that got away'. A new camera based on the colonoscopy pill camera could make this happen. The camera would be disguised as a weight (or lure if you want to see the innards), and start filming the minute the fish struck and you hit the record button. If the fish got away you could then play back the tape to show all of your friends you weren't lying. A bonus feature would be a weight calculator that could figure out how much the fish weighed based on the dead weight during times when you were pulling it in and it wasn't fighting back.

Camera Pill http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3606947/
Re: M2A Capsule Endoscopy: "...pills are purchased directly from the manufacturer, Israel-based Given Imaging, for $450 each..." [jurist, Dec 05 2004]

       I already thought the cost of commercial flies was too expensive. Losing a couple of these "camera hooks" during a day's fishing could add up to some serious money. But I like the idea.(link)

       and who Hasn't wanted to see the inside of a fishes colon?   

       I notice that endoscopy capsules are not re-used by hospitals after they have passed through a patient's system. Perhaps one way to to defray the cost of the pills as a fishing aid would be to purchase "slightly used" camera pills directly from the hospital. Not sure if the pill is able to continue broadcasting images beyond the 50,000 still images or 8 hours time frame that it was originally designed to provide to the receiver.

       Cool! "Now, this is the fish's lower intestine... As you will note, it appears to have been fistulated, probably an old hook injury."
