Muskie Fishing in Minnetonka VIDEO

[Griggs]

A little off season thought of days gone by and things to come in the spring! This is actually some random video I shot in 2008 when I first got my D90. I just felt like making it into something last night. Enjoy!

ahhh remember the days

Nice video - they're alot of fun to make and sure help you get through the winter. I'm trying to figure out a good way to mount my camera high off the back of the boat to try and get more action shots next year. Fishing in the dark 90% of the time makes it harder as well.

[Griggs]

I've thought about doing that as well. Do you have any videos you've put together?

[50inchpig]

Here are a couple I put together earlier this winter. Hard to tell what types of shots you want to get next time until you sort through some footage and this winter was the first time I made any videos out of my footage. Sure makes you remember a lot of moments you wish you'd have had the camera out but didn't.

I don't usually measure fish on the floor of the boat but my bumpboard came apart that day and everything was wet so that's how it was done this time. Fishing with Alex and Josh on the last Sunday of the season. Proof that Redig owes me beers for the last blade fish of the season.

Awesome videos to both of you guys.

Marc....in that first video I catch a glimpse towards the end of the side of your boat down by the floor with what looks like some kind of lure holder contraption you have there with a cover over it....do you have any more pics of that? I've been thinking of something similar in my rig. In the second video you guys have a propane tank in the boat....cooking lunch or just running a heater when needed? Love the shots of you guys breaking ice on ML....sweet!

we just brought the propane tank to thaw our hands and our reels out that day, sure was glad we had it too. a little warmup in the middle of the day can make a big difference in morale.

i put the lure holder in about 3 years ago, it's a simple aluminum frame holding a bunch of plastic shipping tubes for quick access to baits. i like the lakewoods but i like having an open boat more. i added the cover after the first season when i got some rusty hooks and that solved the problem. i can send you some pics, thought i had them in my email but can't find them at the moment. pretty easy to install anywhere you have a few feet of flat space in your boat.

I agree about the big tackle boxes...they are a pain. That would be great if you could email me some pics when you get a chance. Thx man! [email protected]

i have to check my log but i know i was on the pond nov 11. if that was a skeeter it was me. just not sure if i was on that side that day or not. ranger i bet it was lee. neat vid! love the sound of that cracking ice! after all my talk about downsizing i came home with a handfull of lures from the shop the other night.....

in the third one righ as he pics up that fish i cringed a bit. need to lock the thumb so those fish cant get away on ya like that. landed in the water so it worked out fine.

All I could think about when watching this is "brought to you by Mercury, Lowrance, Minn Kota, Ford and Lund". That is a lot of sponser time for 35 seconds of fishing.

I'm sorry but that is all I could think about.

I'm just waiting for my sponsor check!

[Comit 2]

You do have the camera work down nicely.

Maybe we (you) can get a front man and put together a how to fishing video. If you need a subject (fish to catch) I could help you with that.

[Griggs]

A friend of mine and I are already thinking about that. Hes is getting into video editing professionally and we are starting to kick some ideas around about that.

[Comit 2]

If you are looking for a fishing subject let me know. I could help you boat a few. Not Muskies but impressive none the less.

Just something to fill in between sponsor shots.

Good luck.

[Griggs]

Sounds good. Shoot me an email and I may take you up on that.

[Comit 2]

e-mail sent.

Let me know what you think.

[Griggs]

Comit 2, I haven't been able to respond to your email, try emailing me from a different email address if you have one

[Comit 2]

I'm looking forward to hearing from you later this year.
