69adrummer One in the same. I'll lose the beard and some of the hair as the weather warms which makes me look a bit younger but I passed 35 years old many moons ago.
Great suggestion! I've always shied away from pictures and the standard grip and grin hero shot. I'll try this method. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Outstanding! I got a GoPro 3 last year as a gift and struggled with it both with where to mount it and also how to edit and share the content. I'll try the net mount, great idea. Can you tell us what you use for the storage/editing/sharing of the content?
David Wester MacBook Pro, 2 TB Fantom hard drives (several), Final Cut Pro for editing, Compressor (video compression), Vimeo and RUclips for sharing video, Pixelmator for image processing. I'm primarily a video guy, as you can probably tell by this point, so I really don't know much about sharing photos. Maybe someone else here could help out in that regard. I do however really like shooting stills with the GoPro. When you're on the water shooting, you kinda know what you're getting, but there is always a surprise or two when you get home and start going through them.
Great stuff! Love the net mount, but worried about an overly expensive device hanging on my back out of eyesight. My Fishpond Nomad net aside, have you had any issue where the tether came into play? I've been rigging mine to my Wasatch pack using a spring loaded clip I picked up on Amazon. Works well, but not conducive to getting the underwater release shots.
Alan Rohloff I had the same worry, hence the tether but have not had a problem. I have this weird little plastic and leather net clip that's ages old and holds the net by the hoop rather than the handle. With the net hanging down my back in the handle down orientation, the camera folds neatly back and down against the handle so it's pretty out the way. Two things I didn't have time to mention in the video. Min. focus distance for a GoPro is about 10 inches so holding the fish about a foot from the camera usually works quite well. If it's a real big boy, maybe a little farther. Secondly, having the camera on your chest or the net really steadies it way more than just holding it in your hand and results in way fewer blurred shots.
This great thanks for all the wonderful videos. I do have a question though what's the oldest model of go pro that you could use to take such amazing pictures thanks once again.
Great idea for a RUclips video! Trying to obtain some pics without stressing the fish and in a coordinated, time efficient manner is harder in practice than it seems. Might just have to look for a GoPro - could spare me from dunking my cell phone... Thanks for the tips!
All good stuff. I hate to see fish dragged up on snow or dirt or hot rocks just for a picture. I like the way you are mostly keeping them in the water for your methods.
i have a gopro hero 3 black. I want to try your way, but when i enable one button start its starts to recording video, not to shoot photos. Any ideas? :D
lowfas1 go through your menus and make sure the camera is set to interval record mode (the little camera with the clock icon). To get to the menus while you are in one button mode, start the camera recording (press the lower button) it will automatically start recording video. Press and hold down the top button until the camera stops recording and gives you access to the menus. From there go through the menus and set it up for interval recording. Hope this helps, pretty sure the menus and operation would be about the same for the black as they are for the white.
tightlinevideo i set my camera to 0,5 s, set one button, exit menu and set it to camera with clock icon. when i turn camera off and than back on with click on power button it starts automaticaly recording video, not taking photos :D but thanks for you help
ive been doing this for awhile now accept I have a small tripod (6 inch high) with flexable legs. good to mount on a tree or on a rock. amazin photos. check out some of them on instagram @deadli1fta
There's no way that guy in the video is the guy narrating. I had him pegged at about 35 max! haha Great stuff as always!!

I own a sports cam that I'll be using in a whole new way now. Thanks a lot for sharing this!!
One of the best and most informative videos I have ever seen!
Great Job! on all your tying videos too.
Thank you very much. :)
That is a very cool idea! BTW nice fancy work on the camera lanyard.
Como sempre , seus videos são excelentes!
Thanks for another great video. Greetings from Chile.
Man, this is a great video. Great solutions with practical ideas
Very awesome. I think a video like this one was long overdue
Great video as always! By the way what is your setup?

One more question, Tim. Could you give a quick tutorial on the backup lanyard? Thanks in advance.

kgrantmckeown Not sure about the original GoPro but the Hero 2 works just great.

I will be trying the net mount idea.

What knots did you use for the tether? Looking forward to trying this!
Nice video...Editing the video is the tricky part

I hope Barton Hall is a dead reference
+Dave Keady Wow, very observant! And yes it is. Back on a '73 kick for the last month or so.
+tightlinevideo I've got some '73 matrix shows you might dig as well as some discounted official releases should you be missing any.
