Q&A

Can you catch a fish with a fishing rod... from orbit?

+0
−0

Hijacking DaaaahWhoosh's backstory, let's say our sniper takes the shot anyway, but he accidentally hit one of his weather balloons he set up, and now he's out of tungsten bullets. Frustrated, he decides to go . He pulls at his fishing rod and casts it into a body of water. He then reels up a nice juicy fish. My question is:

  1. What is his fishing rod, line, hook, and bait made out of?
  2. How does he cast it out of orbit?
  3. How accurate did he need to be to have his hook land somewhere with fish?
  4. How strong is he, given he pulled a fish into orbit?
  5. How sensitive does he need to be to feel the fish pulling on the line?

I hope this is possible, for our sniper's sake! There ain't much food is orbit!
