The present invention is directed to possible configurations of an underwater digital video recorder/camera (DVR/C) with remote start recording (or taking pictures) when a fish bites the bait or artificial lure. The device and associated methods for capturing and storing video and/or images of fish after it bites the bait or lure are described. The DVR/C devices may be in the form of an in-line device, a fishing lure or other potential configurations. The DVR/C device will start recording and continually capture underwater video from when it starts until turned off or the battery is discharged. Additionally, while fishing the digital video camera/recorder can store the video in memory or in micro SD cards when the system is turned on (recording) for subsequent review by the angler.
