I performed a memorial service a couple weeks ago for a good friend that suddenly passed away - very sad situation. However, another good friend who was there for the memorial came up to me when it was over. We reconnected after what seemed like a couple years or more. That was a blessing. We got to talking about stuff and I told him that I wanted to film the fishing action someday with me and the girls. He wanted to bless me and so he gave me his GoPro Hero 2 camera and stuff (he already had the GoPro 3). What a great guy!!!:Razz:

This last Friday morning before I had to get on the road with my family for an overnighter to Carlsbad (one of the girls had a big ballet audition), I snuck down for a quick fishing hit to try out my new camera. I really wanted to make sure I captured some action so I went after BSP cuz I almost always seem to get some. I normally fish 3 inch grubs and my new perch weapon 3 inch BH swim baits now when targeting BSP but I had my rod set up with the LC and not much time so what the heck!

I have never used a GoPro before so I lost the first fish cuz I stopped fighting him to try and turn on the camera. The next fish I captured on video but when I got home it was corrupted:EyePop:...bummer I decided for the next fish action I would just leave the camera recording the whole time so what follows is that "hook up".

Please remember this is my first time doing this plus I needed to obscure the spot a bit - kind of a bummer.

Let me know what you think:Shocked:

Hi John

Thank you for the kind feedback. I can't wait to see what you get on camera:Razz:

It is pretty amazing to be able to see and in a sense relive a personal fishing experience. I want to see if I can capture some more fishing outings this year on video.

Take care,

Nick

Hey Don,

Thanks for the 'heads up' on Noelle's picture in WON. I picked up a couple of copies. Everyone here was tickled to see it.

Thank you for your 'thumbs up':LOL:on the video! I hope to do it again. It's pretty fun.

Cheers,

Nick

Hey Nick,
Nice video Bro, that area looks like it could hold some different species for sure...:Smile:
I hope the recital went well and you had a good time down at Carlsbad.
We will hook up in the near future and target some nicer grade fish...:Cool:
Have a Blessed week,
Robert

nice video. For me, I learned a lot about retrieves from guys using video of their fishing trips. For someone like me who is a visual person the videos helped a ton.

Great video Nick... can't wait to see when you mix in some underwater shots with it as well. Too bad you and the girls couldn't join the kids and I at the pier today. Take care and I'll see you on the sand soon.
