If you're late to the dock and miss the boat to go offshore fishing, you can always catch up by hiring a helicopter to take you to the boat and jump in when you get close, as these two anglers did.

Here's the dilemma: You want to go fishing with your buddies over the weekend, but they're leaving on Friday and you have to work. The solution, of course, is to hire a helicopter to rendezvous with the boat after work and jump out of the chopper once you're close.

No, seriously, that was the scheme these two anglers pulled off recently at the east end of San Clemente Island, some 50 miles off the coast of Southern California, as seen in this crazy video. This pair really wanted to go fishing.
