Mark, you are going to have to start your own production company soon...great videos! Did you have a second line out with the laker you landed get wrapped up in it during the video?

thanks mark. wow so much footage to watch the reaction of the fish. looks to me like its very important to have the right choice of color or lure on. so much to learn from the videos.

Jim, That was my slider that came into view. Was a streamer and an action disc.
Matt, the color red, was very good to me the last trip. Haven't really used it much before. I noticed that they liked red from your casting spoon and bought a red spoon or 2. Of only I had scent on it :-/ that salmon haunts my dreams haha

Jim, your videos are amazing. I ordered a Water Wolf and will have to try it through the ice first! Does it take long to sort through the footage to find the fishy parts? Wondering if you can fast forward and still pick out the fish. Hopefully you don't have to watch the whole thing in real time to see them.

Nice work Mark. Solid looking salmon, I bet some scent or maybe a good sharp turn might have sealed the deal with that beast.

I never had one follow that long, usually salmon either bite, or stick those nose up to it in disgust, let alone one that big haha. I never even saw him on sonar. Must have came from quite a ways away.

You view the footage in real time, but there is fast forward on the video editor. I personally just click through every 5-10 second so I only spend a minute or two per 20 minutes clip. The camera records continuously for around 4 hours, but breaks it into 20 minute segments. Just jot down on paper the times you see anything you like, then use the editor to record. It saves to the computer and then you can clear the memory card if you want for the next trip. I use a 32GB memory card. Largest the W.W. will let you use. That size card will last 2 fishing trips or 8hours total time recording.

Thanks Mark. Lots of work involved at creating those amazing videos.
Always interesting to see what is happening at the submerged end of the line.

I mentioned in another post that I watched a video of an Ontario King following a spoon for 4 1/2 minutes before it smashed it. I don't know if I'd want to see that while it was actually happening or not - might make me a little nuts trying to entice it to bite!

Mark:

What is the white object ahead of the DB Smelt on that Trophy Laker?

Great videos !! / Jim

[Sawyer]

Your videos never get old Mark. Hope to see more thanks for doing them.

Good stuff Mark! Amazing video! Fun to watch and observe the behavior of these fish inspecting the lures.

[MORNIN HOOKER(Marek)]

Awesome stuff. Thank you. You are definitely digitally advanced. Thanks again.

Jim it is an invisa swivel..... Supposed to be 100% flourocarbon therefore advertised to be invisible under water??? But.... Not So much? I picked them up on sale. Not as effective as a quality ball bearing swivel, although somewhat more stealthy I guess.
