Article w/the video.

Basically, a drone operator pissed off a fisherman then proceeded to call the fisherman the asshole.

No sir, you're the asshole. Leave people the fuck alone. I know when I'm fishing I wouldn't want some dickhead buzzing a drone around me.

I have no problem with drones, as long as drone operators understand that they are fair game for any sort of target practice.

I think I could snag a drone with a fishing line cast.

Can you make some kind of flexible Faraday barrier by weaving a bit of metal into some fishing nets?

I think a medium-strength line would be enough to reel it in, too.  I would hold it for ransom.  Laugh at the guy right into his own camera, maybe rub my dick on it while he watched.

Depending on how much weight your average lure has, you could tie a semi-strong magnet to the end of the line and up your hit chances big time.  Tiny, magnetized grappling hooks.

If you can capture it alive you can probably buy a new controller relatively cheap and sell the set on ebay for a good profit.

Even the military/cop ones only have a 30', maybe 40' range.

Oh, I was envisioning a taser being cast on the end of a rod & reel.  I realize now that this would be silly.

Is it an insulated rod with conducting line?

I don't know why y'all are making this so complicated.  These little helicopter drones would be easily caught and reeled in with regular fishing line.  If you can hit it with a taster you can hit it with a lead sinker.
