My attempt at another float tube hali video...

Originally I wanted to upload the video with the report but my computer took a dump on me and I couldn't access the file without my computer freezing on me.

I took some advice from people more experienced with computers than myself and went from 4GB of RAM to 8GB and it made a huge difference in how fast my computer is with video editing.

Unfortunately the file that I put A TON of work into still won't open.....so I started from scratch. In a way it's a good thing because my original video would have been over 6 minutes long and filled with more random shots than action shots. It also doesn't help that I only caught a sculpin and 1 legal hali that day...pretty slow even for DPH.

Hope you enjoy the video...nothing special bit it's a stepping stone for me. I'm hoping to make some really cool stuff in the future....not on the Team Basstic level but just something fun to watch.

I bet you can recognize my spot too....never caught a hali there before and was about to call it a day when I landed this guy close to my launch spot.





Because of my computer problem I didn't add:

A sick driving time lapse from my house (Camp Pendleton lol) to Hogan's bait and Tackle
Clips of me gearing up...putting the waders on...booties..etc.
Rigging bait....prettymuch showing how to rig live bait on a trap rig
a clip of a pelican who decided my bait with trebles in it was edible


Have a good weekend!

Mass,

Cool video, the progression is great. Found a tip the other day to keep the water spots off your lense. Get some RainX and wipe on lens then buff off. Works really good and when that next Hali slaps water in your face, you wont have any worries about spots on your rig!!!

Thanks for the tip...im gonna try that for sure...those water spots are annoying!!

another cool video Mass. Cant wait to get myself a gopro and start trying the whole videoing project

Nice job on the additions!
I like videos that tell a story

man nice hali in cali no really that was a strong fish plus I've never caught in that area were ther any jealous shore guys watching you haul her in lol

I looked up a few times kona and didn't see anybody. In a way I hope next time I go out there that spot is lined up with random guys who watch the video....I've never caught a halibut there before....I'm hoping they stack up in that area for nothing while I go after a 24lb instead of 24 inch one!

Very cool video, thanks for sharing!!
