Fishing camera

A lightweight underwater camera assembly to be pulled through water in a forward direction, comprising:

• an elongated main body having a substantially cylindrical shape with radius, r, and a front-end part and a rear-end part and an upper part and a lower part, the main body holding a camera in a waterproof manner with a camera aperture being aligned with a backward facing window in the rear-end part;
• a line attachment system configured to secure the main body to a section of a line, wherein the line attachment system is positioned on the lower part of the main body;
• a lip extending downwardly and forwardly from the lower part of the front-end part, wherein the lip comprises an upper surface part that has a width Wt with Wt=2r±20%, is forward-facing and directly attached to the lower part of the front-end part of the main body and configured to exert a downward force on the main body when the assembly is pulled through water in the forward direction;
• and
• at least two stabilizers extending laterally from the rear-end part at symmetrical angles between 10-80 degrees from a vertical direction;
• wherein a downward slope of the lip relative to a longitudinal center axis of the elongated main body is between 5-30 degrees and
• wherein the lightweight underwater camera assembly has positive buoyancy in freshwater and a mass of less than 100 grams.
