The invention discloses a fishing system based on network video remote control and a method breaking through the defects in a traditional mode for realizing the fishing under the condition that people are not at the scene. The fishing system comprises a customer display terminal, a customer management center, a cabled and wireless network system, a local area network management station, a fishing operation remote control system, a power supply and a video sound collecting transmission system. During the operation, a remote control cloud deck power supply is started, a fishing rod can remotely control the cloud deck to realize the horizontal rotation and the vertical displacement, one end of a fishing data wire assembly is fixed on the fishing rod, the other end of the fishing data wire assembly is provided with a fishing hook assembly and an underwater illumination and video sound collecting playing assembly, the fishing hook adopts a remote control bait hanging assembly for hanging bait, a buoy adopts a space bean for realizing the position limitation, the displacement of the space bean is realized through a space bean displacement assembly, and the harvested fish is contained into an antitheft fish basket assembly. The invention provides action games really combining the virtuality and the reality, requirements of fishermen with the fishing desire but without the in-site fishing time can be greatly met, the fishermen can realize the remote control fishing by a computer through sitting at home, the wild fish resource development benefits are improved through adopting a mode of fishing large fish and breeding fish fry, and the sustainable development of fish resources is promoted.
