More Mendo video 10/22 PM

Went out last night to meet up with Kickin' bass and my buddy Darin to see if the bite was still on.  By the time I got there they both had already landed nice fish...Doh! As I was getting my video junk ready Kickin bass got slammed again.  As soon as I got the video rolling, things got even better...

We ended the night with a few nice fish each, but all on the troll, no topwater   Are we getting spoiled?  YES!!

Kinda bummed the vid is so blurry on youtube.  I got a new program and firewire and the quality is amazing, but the files are toooo big to go to online

Sean, even at low resolution, it get's the Adrenalin pumping. Man you are so lucky to have that fishery in your backyard.
We who have to deal with Forebay winds are very, very, very jealous.

Going to start calling Mendo " Hollywood" with all that video ......Danglin

Great video Sean!  I like the whole helmet cam POV and the commentary lets the viewer really get into your head while you're fishing.  Do you always talk that much when catching a fish, or are you fairly conscious of being video taped and don't want dead air?

Man you are so lucky to have that fishery in your backyard.

Agreed.  I am so thankful the the local CSBA guys keep the way it is too, without them it wouldn't exist.

Once I put on the camera-hat I pretty much forget about it except for turning it on/off (sometimes I forget to do that too).  Unfortunatley for my wife, I am a chatterbox.  Having had a beer or two before paddling on Sunday made me a potti-mouthed chatter box.  In particular at Mendo with the boys, when the weather is nice and the fish are schooled up, its a bit of social event. 

Hey Sean - Just another day at the office, eh!?!  Just wondering, you simply carry your bait in a small cooler, do you have an aerator in there or are the baits hardy enough? How long will they go with no aerator? I like the fly rod but bait is killer! I'll be back!

I hate you Sean 

So, the next tournie will run from 2-8pm?  Nice fish Sean!

Hey Sean,
 Awesome vid and great fish! I do a lot of video for online delivery for my clients. If you want I could give you some tips about how to get the file sizes down while keeping the video quality very high.

Pelican-there is no aereator...they'l be fine in there all day unless you overload the bucket.

Zee-I would LOVE any advice you could offer.  This file was 150 MB as an MPEG and looked great.  Under this "web" setting it was 42 MB and looked like poop.  I just need to get them under 100 MB to fit youtubes criteria.

Nicest video i've seen. Addicted +++++

Thanks...hope to make more, and improve the quality.
