If you've got an old, dead iPhone laying around, ever thought of just feeding it to the fishies?
That's what the people behind the YouTube channel How Ridiculous appear to have done, using the Apple device as a lure while fishing in Dunsborough, located in the south-west of Western Australia.
The video shows a salmon being caught with the aid of the iPhone, although it is something we're unable to verify independently. The area does get plenty of salmon around this time of year, however.
Brett Stanford from How Ridiculous told Mashable Australia via email that he was fishing for around 15 minutes before catching the fish, which was captured on camera.
"It took about two and a half minutes to get the fish in but I had to play it pretty safe as I didn't want to lose my lure," Stanford said, who mentioned that other lures didn't do the job that day.
"They often take lures, but on this particular day lots of lure types weren't working, which is what makes it even more amazing that the iPhone did work. Apple have obviously done something right," he said.
The fish weighed around five kilograms, and was released back into the ocean after its brief encounter with the gadget. Just madness.
