NorCal Bounty

Played around some more with my footage from Saturday.

Can see here how all my dive gear stows inside my Kraken, some nice 9 inch abalone, a few scallops and lings, a baby Canary rockfish at about 2:50, and my three Vermillion.

Used a song that I have heard in a ton of videos and have been wanting to use for a long time.

Another great vid Jim.
Gets me pumped just watching.

Great Video BigJim. you make it look so easy
Do you ever listen to music while diving.

Outstanding video. I have yet to see a verm under water. Do they really look that greyish, to the naked eye?

Thanks fellas!

Alex, nah...just the voices in my head. 

Bill, YES! They look totally weird and grey!! I have seen so few that whenever I see one my brain is like "What is that weird fish? Oh sh*t! It's a Verm! Shoot it!!"

 

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Awesome!

Very captivating, beautiful and surreal. I will probly never see the ocean from that vantage point with my own eyes, thank you Jim for sharing what you see while you are doing what you love to do !!! David

I've been hesitant to shoot verm before because of the grayish color at depths too.

What stands out between the verm and canary for you while diving?

Also got to love that curious ling you shot first. 

Looks like a very productive spot thanks for sharing bro. 

That is some awesome underwater footage!!!  So clear, the details amazing!! Which GP do you have again?

i will forever remember "what the bottom of our local ocean looks like"..........
..........because of YOU! 

Go pro.  No, really, GO PRO, Dude!  You're there.   

Thanks guys...really glad you liked it!!

Al, it's a GoPro hero 3+ Silver...I dunno much about the differences between the various models but this one works good for me!

I did do some color correction with iMovie on this one which I think really helped the clarity in most of the clips.

Antonio, the verms that I have seen underwater (which really aren't that many) looked like their colors were darker and the lateral line less pronounced than that small canary you see in the vid.

I really haven't heard of free divers shooting canaries by mistake, but I double checked the chin back on the yak just to be sure.

 

Thanks again!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

 

Wow Jim, no kidding about the bounty. Love the video. Thanks for sharing. Still wish I could dive like you.
