I took a right turn this week and metered a ton of traps along the way. My gps said I travelled just under 10 miles. Messed around with the camera and filmed a bunch of mostly dink fish. Lots of variety and action. At the very end of my fishing I end up hooking the best fish of the day and I'm thinking cool, it'll be on video. 29 seconds in I hear a "beep beep beep", look back and the camera's turned itself off. Either ran out of storage or battery. But that's the way it goes sometimes. The very end of the video will show a much stronger pull by that fish and then... Turned out to be a 28" butt which went home. All the others were released.

Great video. Thanks for posting it.

Showed it to my wife. Her response, "So that's what you try to do every time you go out." My response, "Anyone can go out and catch fish, not everyone can fish all day and not get a single bite." Getting a FF installed this week, that has to help. I hope! :)

I'm going to keep posting videos so TEAM SEWER will consider choosing me during the drafts in the upcoming competitions. If I'm last person standing in the selection process, I'll pack my stuff up and just go home...

Ha! If I had this camera ever since I've been yakking, you'd know this was great placement for me. I've got a gaff scar on the yak that luckily didn't punch a hole all the way through the hull...not to mention a few swing and misses too. How exactly does one swing a three foot gaff and miss a fish? Watch me.

If the Team Sewer Brothas give me the opportunity...I will drive all distances, crash through any wave, suffer through all weather conditions, I will offer any Team Sewer my second to last live squid :D and fish to the death (or tournament deadline)...unfortunately, no boat trips for me this year.

Nice vid Jim. How much film time did you get before your battery died?

Hey Greg, I appreciate your interest. I'm not really sure if the battery died or if I ran out of space (32GB). It was interesting to see the amount of time filmed stop at exactly 100 minutes...? Jim
