Vyron Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 LBH's TV series Great video again!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Chris Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hey LBH, those are some absolutely beautiful Northerns you got there..... And the video quality is outstanding ! I'm sure you have already answered this, but what kind of video camera are you using ? That thing does an awesome job ! Geeez, how I would love to have some video footage of some Cali giants...... but 1) I have no idea where I could find a camera man who wanted to tag along with me for 10 hour trip, after 10 hour trip.... and maybe not getting any usable footage, for 1 or 2, or heck, even 5 or more trips in a row ! (except maybe for like the fill in, scenery type of stuff)...... and 2) having a camera guy looking over my shoulder all day would throw me off so bad, I'd have no fun fishing whatsoever, and would probably 'never' stick a pig worth filming. I did see some 'self taken video' from one So Cal big bass guy (who BTW, always fishes by himself, and pretty much throws nothing but the Hud), who had like a wide angle camera, way on the other end of his boat, which he just ran constantly, all day, every day, then, every hour or two, he would simply clear the memory, and start it again. When he finally got one, he would put that memory card aside, and start with a fresh one. He had several 15 lb plus Bass on video. I think I saw those on a private forum..... But if I can find them anywhere publicly, I will post some links. Again, your vids look fantastic ! Keep after em' ! Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 FC- Are you talking about Butch Brown? I have links to his vids if needed. Hawg_Hunter was the first to do it, that I had seen and shortly after, I saw Butch Brown's videos . I use a Fujifilm s5600. It's a straight up 6mp digi cam with a video setting. I have a 1 gig card and on the highest resolution, it gives me almost 15 minutes of filming. That's alot. Before this, (before sept, when I bought the big card) all those vids were made of compilations that came off a 1min 51 sec card!! lol. Now the vids are getting better because 15 mins gives us basically unlimited time when you film in the style we do. Which brings me to your point. Eric is my fishing partner and I am his. One is not the "cameraman" while the other fishes. We just fish and the moment you have a bite you let the other guy know. We are gettting pretty good at reaction times now that we have a full season of it under our belt. The camera just sits in the bag with the top open , in between both of us. Depending on the bait, there are different "lead times". ex. a senko, when the line shoots out, you can let the other guy know. He gets the camera and presses play as you are reeling down on 'em and then you get the hookset on film. For Hud's you'll miss the hookset but get all of the fight, all of the landing, all of the hootin and hollerin', the weigh in and the release. This can be done alone!! You'll notice in many of my videos , I am alone. I simply sit the camera on the rear seat and point it forward. After I get a good hookset, reach over and press play and you're in the game. There are better set-ups to mount the camera also. Hawg_Hunter (Darrin) took B. Browns idea 1 step further. He bought a hard drive movie camera and built a mount (works in a machine shop) to accept the piece you screw into bottom of camera for tripod and then the other end fits his pedestal pole. So the pedestal pole is his tripod. Very secure and he can actually film every minute of every trip w/digital hard drive memory. Now if you're boat isn't set up where you can forfeit the rear seat, you fabricate a mount somewhere else,....like in the stern corner,..makes it more of a wide angle. Back to the camera Another guy, the director for BASS Youth in RI is an electronics/computer/gadget junkie and has shopped out the cameras hard. He has bought 3 and never been satisfied with the quality from any of them. 3 different brands too. He still has 2 that work fine but bother him because of quality and when he 1st saw my videos, he instantly asked what I was using. When he heard it was a reg camera, he flipped out. Bought one immediately, the next one up from mine. Absolutely loves it. Just for the record, I was so happy with this camera, I bought another one when my first one died (wouldn't power up). Now I have 2. If you look up the specs, I believe this line is actually slightly better than anything in it's price category, strictly by specs, not "usability" etc (although this camera has extremely user friendly menus and functions). Plain as day, right there in writing that it "should' have better quality than the others. First time I've ever seen this actually be the case. I usually see that as spec manipulation. make yours slightly better, even if it's really not and nobody can "tell" the difference but will buy that item over the next one based on the numbers. BTW- I believe this camera still retails for UNDER $300. Like $259 I think. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyBasser Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Another two beautiful videos Russ! Great job - and the indie song is really nice too... I now know what my next electronic gadget will be.... ...a digital video camera! By the way, you should consider coming over to Cyprus for a video! What do you think :??

rocknfish9001 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I must say that the clear water makes for some BEAUTIFUL fish. I noticed that when i fish on clearer lakes all the fish including pike, 'gills, and perch are colored better. Looks like our fall has been more brutal then yours. Its cloudy, windy, and rainy almost every day. And not to mention cold! Looks like your using shiners and jigs, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodaksker Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Russ, thanks for another nice video. One thing I did notice was how fast and furious you were reeling to take up the slack on that one hookset. That is one of the reasons I forced myself to use a baitcaster. Inches per turn. The highest IPT on spinning that I could find was 12-17 inches. When using a baitcaster that has 26-28 IPT you sure can pick that slack up a lot quicker. Fork might be a good place to hone your bc skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk_Jig---Lure Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I got this one,lol. The reason we use spinning gear at that place is because over the years, we have learned that "the long cast gets the bass". We have lightened the lines and lengthened the rods. When we first started at that lake we were both strong Baitcasters. That's pretty much all we did. As we progressed through the stages, we learned that the fish we want, are NOT on the banks. Open water fishing, lighter lines, longer casts, resulted in bigger, better bass. I have fished clubs but Russ hasn't. As a team, we fished the Clear Water Challenge for 2 yrs and our technics and tactics that we had devoloped at our home lake paid off like nothing I've ever participated in event-wise. We converted quite a few baitcasters when it comes to clear water. This is nothing new. West coast has been doing this for years. As for that particular fish, we had doubles going. He actually hooked first and said get the camera but i couldn't because I was also getting ready to say the same thing so he opened his bail and filmed me 1st. Hence all the make-up when I finally landed mine and he was able to pass the camera and get to his rod. This makes a huge chance of losing a fish but we were doing well and the fun of a double is always worth it. Especially live bait fishing. We have had more "fun" fishing in the last few weeks than in a looong time. That's what it's all about,,right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 30, 2006 Super User Share Posted October 30, 2006 [Open water fishing, lighter lines, longer casts, resulted in bigger, better bass.] I find that to be the case for bass fishing in general, but I can't emphasize that statement enough as it pertains to smallmouth bass. Get off the bank! Focus on structure in deeper water and current. Buy the biggest baits you can find, big bass like it "super sized".

Low_Budget_Hooker Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 No,no,no. Dirk was over here when he was on the board and I know he didn't want to sound that way. He was just explaining for me because I have been asked "Why do you only use spinning gear" about 20 times! lol. He certainly didn't mean to sound confrontive, just informative.

Super User K_Mac Posted October 30, 2006 Super User Share Posted October 30, 2006 Russ Those are amazing catches any time, and very nearly anyplace. Some of the Cali guys and a few of the Deep South guys may have water that can produce bigger fish in greater numbers, but your last couple of videos show largemouth fishing that is for most of us, as good as it gets. RoLo mentioned a "salt lick" I was thinking BGH (Bass Growth Hormones) Your not "Juicing" are you? ;D Just kidding. Great video-thanks for sharing.

Low_Budget_Hooker Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 that's an i303, special one. I can use ship to shore to hail my buddies on the bay Wouldn't trade it for the world. Extremely durable, water resistant, etc. I hate the small phones, dialing them drives me nuts,lol. The GPS has also come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bass Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 That is a great video. Thanks....I must admit, I'm getting a complex....I did catch two nice bass shore fishing with buzz baits this past Saturday, but my luck in my boat has been bad.
