    Fishing for sharks that day. Caught no sharks. Just other smaller fish. Test was a success though.

    Vision+ Lifting Capacity

    Update: I've load tested the Vision + and it can haul a 14 ounce Walmart bag full of rocks without a problem. ( I didn't try anymore weight than this because this is right at double the weight I will be dropping while fishing) I also made a simple release device that is just a piece of brazing...
