Here is a fun video to pass the time. Tried editing it on iMovie for Mac which was actually quite pleasant. Hope no one that watches it actually takes it seriously. It is made for fun. The video is just a prequel of some more aimless ones i'll make later. It's short. Hard part is timing it with the music. One of these days i'll purchase an advanced video editor. This is fun to do and i advise others if they get bored this winter to make a video.

This is at Beaverdam Reservoir in Ashburn, VA. A fun 350 acre lake but had a bad drought in 2005-2006 reducing it to 5 or 10% pool and to save the fish due to depleting oxygen levels people were told to keep what they caught and the lake took a good hit. I moved here after the fact in 2009 just in time for the fishing to get back up. I'm sure there a few monsters left in there that survived that drought and am still on the hunt for them. Nevertheless, i love fishing this reservoir and was very humbled when i started fishing it. It's getting easier now but i have suffered dearly to even build confidence out there. Hope this video passes the time and hopefully you all consider making some more videos as well. Merry Christmas, happy new year, and get the net.

Watch in HD, looks better

no wonder i couldnt get any bites there. there's hardly any fish left! i had no idea that had happened. hopefully the ecosystem will recover so we can fish it again.

Great video Troy. Short & sweet. My wife was fist pumping to the music.

Outstanding video.

Would be even better if you would deep six the red cap with the white A on it.

That cap ruins the production.

Happy New Year and Geaux Tigers!

Thanks guys. Every time i try to take the hat off, it finds itself magically back on my head. Like some weird magic trick.

May I be the first to say that was effing cool!!! I want more!

Looking forward to more from you Shimmy, nice job, really nice job !!!

Troy, a gifted fisherman as well as film maker! I need a guest shot in the next one!!

great stuff, got to get out there a lot this spring

nice video, that place has always been tough, even in the 80s. of course ive never had the luxury of going out on it in a boat...

Dude, I wasn't planning on going fishing this this morning, now I am freaking pumped. Gotta catcha a fish now. Thanks for the motivation.

Great video

Very energetic and exciting video. I look forward to seeing another.

Nice job on the video and great fish too. Congrats!
