[harvey lee]

Borch, your fish and Darren's look like twins.

[Tyler Holm]

That's no flattie. That's the MN River Lockness Monster! Great fish bud. Your date with Mr BigFish was a few days tardy, but... OMG. I'm green with....

[nate larson]

Wow! Congrats

[DTro]

I don't think I can ever wash my boat.

I have slime on my middle bench seat from Hansons 47, Borch's 49 and now my 57. That slime is magic mojo juice, along with the spilled Mt Dew, Combo crumbs, Kettle chips, Pumpkin Seeds and a bit of human, bait, and fish blood.

It truly is a masterpiece

[rushing]

Thats so fake, its clearly just a midget in a fish suit.

Nice one D-man!

Starting tomorrow I basically have the rest of the month off, shoot me an email if you want to hook up.

[wastewaterguru]

I go out of town.....and next thing I know first place in the KOTC is just a happy memory. That's going to be tough to compete with.

Awesome fish......

[upnorth]

One word.....WOW!!! that is one HUGE fish.

How do I sign up for a little evening stroll in "Instant Avatar"? I don't mind a little filth.

[harvey lee]

I call photoshop.

[DTro]

I call photoshop.

I gotta figure out a way to photoshop the video now

That could prove to be challenging

[harvey lee]

It could be of help.

MPEG compression, as opposed to Motion-JPEG compression, uses differential encoding -- every now and then there's an I-frames containing a whole image, while the P-frames in between contain only differences from the previous image. So, your first step will be to take captures at every frame, recoding the video to Motion-JPEG. Now that you have each frame as an individual image (30 fps, 4 minutes, 120-ish individual images), you can start editing. The hard part will be to keep the doctoring consistent enough throughout the 120 frames to make it look real. I'm sure you can tackle the problem though, since it's 11:00 a.m. and you've already posted 18 times today, work must not be killing you

Edit -- Had to chuckle....you've posted 18 times by 11 a.m., which might seem like a lot to some folks, but you're still 4TH on the list on the left!

aanderud,

That makes very good sense !

I figured one could edit frame by frame on certain parts of a video he wanted to edit out the back ground in. It only is editing a couple seconds, verses a whole 5 minute video.

I believe this could be done with WMM. If not what other software could one use? Anything good is like a hundo or more. I can not see spending that much to edit out a couple seconds of footage.

Maybe we should bring this up in the Video Forum, instead of stealing Dtro's thread !

Very intresting though!

[mplspug]

Let us know when the video is up!

That number is in the past 24hrs.

Another fish to add to your over 30" girth list.

[Ed Carlson]

WOW...that be a beast!

May I ask what it went for, bait..ect?

Nice fish man!!

[Dbl]

Wow, great fish, and congratulations!

[peder]

Congrats DTRO, beautiful fish.

[DTro]

Nice fish man!!

Thanks again all.

It ate a large Bullhead that was tucked up in some wood behind a current break.

[Shack]

That reminds me!

How long did it take to get in?

[aanderud]

Let's just say he didn't "Hanson" it. The rod never once went between his legs Sorry, Chris, I just have to laugh when I think of you using your jewels as leverage

[fishinJohn]

Inspiring work, I guess that's why I don't have my hat yet. Just kidding, nice whale.

[Shack]

I think I had seen someone else do a little "thrust squatting" also

Hey, what ever gets the beast in the boat, but it did put a smile on my face. I knew someone would bring it up at one time or another .

[fishuhalik]

Hey dtro, have you ever considered starting a guide service? It seems that you have no problem putting people on some perty dern nice fish. And you have the evidence to prove it!

I'd be more than willing to drop a couple hundo to have a chance at a big ol' kitty, or at least get some first-hand knowledge on how to up my chances at one.
