The two charismatic inventors of FishHunter pitched the Dragons in April 2015 and the episode aired in Oct 2015; FishHunter CEO Michael Smith, and CTO Chester Yeum dressed up like kayak fishermen and showed the Dragons how hard it is to get a proper fish finder for a kayak before unveiling their nifty little creation - a kayak fishfinder for iphone android devices. .

You can see Michael is holding the fhird version of the device in his hand as her nervously asks for a million dollars to make version number five, which is a 3D side scanner rig that will tell fishermen what the structure at the bottom of the lake looks like beside the boat, and not just directly underneath the vessel. This new device is aimed squarely at kayakers because its been specifically designed to be the very best fish finder for kayaks in the marketplace today, and its only getting better. The explosive growth of this recreational sport is what i believe convinced Jim Treliving, the friendly Dragon, to invest in the company. After a dramatic negotion sequence he agreed to pay a million dollars for one third of the enterprise.
