Was able to take advantage of the weather window and head out for some sling action. Started off a little choppier that anticipated, but wx laid down and the water was clean and warm. Had a great time and was able to ice some fish and head home early.

Very nice video and excellent conditions. I was surprised by the caliber of fish in such shallow water and with such limited bottom structure.
-
Is the camera on the sling handle?
-
Great video and awesome fish!!! Looks like you guys had a hell of a trip. What part of the Bahamas were you in?

Yeah, I have it mounted to my shooter.
Ben - west end
Lunker - pretty much right on. Mostly 33 +/-, last two clips were 45.
Thanks for the compliments. Shooting the video is fun, I am trying to get my crew set up w/ more GoPro's for better footage. The second person perspective is nice. The fist grouper kicked my ass a litttle and it would have made for some good footage if shot from above like I was able to do on the second black. I also have to upgrade to iLife/Movie 11 so that I can upload the video in HD. It looks amazing on my moniter in full HD. I am using a flat lens for the GoPro.

Unlikely. Three weeks in a row would present problems on the homefront. Are you headed over?
-
yeah, but flying over to spanish. quick 3 day trip.
3 weeks in a row is what legends are made of. =)

Pretty amazing man. Do you have a place there or where do you stay.
I see how cheap it is to fly over there but I don't know where to stay or how to get out once I head over. Any advice.
Actually this should be a new thread maybe

Legends and single dads lol. Have a good trip.
A few friends asked about my set up so I though that I would post some pics. I just used some aluminum bar stock from home depot and bent it around in a vise. Used stainless screws, if I were during it over I would use either flat heads or finish washers. I used a GoPro tripod mount secured w. another SS bolt from HD that I cut the threads to fit.

Excellent. Very simple and that is the essence. One thought. Flip the whole rig and film in the UPd mode. Better sightpicture perhaps. Please keep the vids coming. Thanks
