I got a new toy.

Hey guys,
Just checking in and letting you know that I'm still looking for that IGFA bass. Haven't had too much luck lately but I got a new lure I'm going to try throwing.

Additionally the misses and I just bought a Go-Pro so hopefully when that IGFA bass does bite, the camera will be rolling...

Here's the first video we made (and first fish on the go-pro). Hopefully I'll be able to make a lot more videos in the future!
Enjoy!

It's the hero 3+ silver addition. We were going to get the black but the optional wifi remote isn't necessary when you have a smart phone and the app. Saved us $100. We paid 300 at best buy.

Haha, well it is up now. I was having problems with YouTube uploading the video but it is up now.
Honestly I don't even notice having the camera on my head, every once and a while I remember its there and I'm like "oh I should probably say something"

Yeah I just noticed that the volume is way down on it. I need to boost the volume in the go pro editor.
Honestly its pretty **** easy to edit videos, I just play around with them for a little bit and see what I like. Their built in video editor is pretty powerful and mostly self explanatory even including templates you can use to make videos with.

I'll have another video up shortly using a popping frog and pulling a bass through what is without a doubt the heaviest cover I've ever dragged one through!

Yeah no screaming here. Hell when I hooked the last big one, there was a guy standing next to me and he was screaming obscenities like it was going out of style and I was like "meh, there is bigger in here"

:thumbsup good point sending p/m!!!
wasn't really thinkin of that !!! But totally see it ...
Kinda sad when you think about it !!!

Don't you dare tell him where you are at.... he is a spy ..... LOL.... always remember to "PM" things like that...
"a little knots".... we have to protect our "Shorebound" areas or they will get overrun and fences put up... kidding aside...
we have to learn to PM each other on certain things.... throwing things out there for the whole world to see can be our downfall...

I learn this the hard way when I first join Public/Open forums..... people lurk our forums just to gather infor and not have to do the
hard work :banghead ...... I like to PM people and get to know them... just like anything else... its pretty easy
to read people.... even on the internet... :wink


Again guys when it comes to "Shorebound fishing" you have to learn how to protect your areas or they will get
over run with people that don't give a hoot about it.... and end up getting YOU toss from that area....

I'm lucky enough to fish an retirement area.... they will run you off in a heartbeat... I became friends with most of
the old folks in the area and to this date .... I can grab a rod/reel and still hit the water...
