VideoFishing

I am not a fishing fanatic.
Although I like to eat fish, I do feel sorry when I see fish on the hook
trying desperately to free itself.

So I am thinking about attaching a tiny video camera to "VideoFishing line"
instead of fishing hook and watch/monitor fish behaviours and enjoy.

There are a couple of technical problems to make such a "VideoFishing" a
reality;
(i) How to obtain flexible,light weight and strong fishing line like
cable to provide (a) power for the camera and illimunation system (b) video
amplifier and/or digitizer and transmit/receive circuits ?
(ii) Small camera that can withstand 50-100m depth OR an encloser for
the camera for that depth?
(iii) How to illumunate (visible light or IR or else) the surrounding ?
(iv) Any comment?

Thanks

** Cheaper to get a fish tank.

Dick Smith sell an underwater camera,

But I would just use fibreoptic cable and keep the expensive camera high and
dry
