Chatted a bit with Zach 0208 and decided to go fishing the other day....it didnt work out due to rain prediction ( it never came ) and instead my wife got the night out while I watched no ta single drop fall.
Reschedule to July 30th 430AM - Zach0208 is a trooper, not many will meet up with me at that hour to fish - even though its the best time to head out
When i'm on the water i'm an inflatable guy and so is Zach0208. Me in a pontoon boat and Z in his kayak and it's on! If you get a chance to fish with Z he has got quite the setup, compared to me at least - fish finder, a few nice rods/reels - lots of jangly spinnerbaits - he was ready to fish!
We inflated, set up our gear on our respective vessels and paddled out. I got first fish of the day - a brave little bluegill hitting a topwater popper that was way bigger than him! I tossed him in back and headed to the dark end of the pond to beat the sun while Z stayed in the sun using his fish finder technology. Switching to my UL gear I got hooked up on a nice little 1lb bass in the back corner that gave me quite a fun fight! - ripped that drag fast and then tired out allowing me to land him with ease.
My allotted time was up so I paddled back and said goodbye to Z and headed home. I heard he started catching after I left - I musta been bad luck
fast video edit below on its way- nothing special just highlights - editing now

I want to pick one of those up thats why I was asking. They are perfect for hands free filming for sure, and the quality of the video was good. I don't really need a digital camera because I have 3 cell phones and they are all over 8mp each with Carl Zeiss lenses lol. More interested in the video recording....hands free especially! _________________ Steve

yep get one - i took a chance and got one used on EBAY for a steal ! - im addicted to all the mounting options it has - gotta get the chest mount goin on very soon and see how that angle is for fishing - sometimes, if the angle is off, I miss the entire recording from my head - it takes a bit of practice to get the angles right for the panoramic paddle views and then adjust to up close fish handling views but im gettin there
