Default Crab video

A couple of friends have been after me to shoot some video while crappie fishing at Crab. Sunday I tried it and then made a little movie which was kinda fun. Its my first attempt but I was happy with it other than my squeaking seat. Here is the link if anyone wants to see it. I was by myself so I had to land the fish a little awkwardly with one hand on camera and one hand jigging. The big fish in the video was 1lb 7 ozs. I was a bit optimistic when I say it was 1 3/4 on the video. But still a nice one. Im not a youtube pro but i managed to get it uploaded. Something different anyway.

AWESOME! It is hard to find good crappie video on you tube. This was Great. Looks like you knocked em dead too! It sure didn't look like this was your first time filming. Looked like a regular Bill Dance video! Great job,great catch, and keep the video coming. That was very interesting.

I think you did a heck of a job running the camera and catchin fish. That had to be a chore. But well worth it. I think it was your 4th fish that was a true black.

As my friends in California would say, "Totally cool dude!" That's great footage CP. We got to see technique, the colors used, etc. It was so good, I forgot you were the only one on board for a moment.
I think that was the best Crappie video I've seen. Please keep them coming.

CP, that was great! I really miss fishing Crab. You did a great job handling the rod and the camera; if it were me, one or the other would have wound up in the lake!

CP - The video was outstanding. Next best thing to being out there on the water yourself. Keep them coming.
