Very cool, that's awesome. He definitely has an eye for the action from the one video I have seen on youtube last night. I need to get on Instagram, a buddy of mine has a million followers on Instagram and says people will eat it up. I've been through about 8 hours of filming 3 times looking for our tuna smash that broke the rod holder off, and me running to save the rod, but the battery had died on the rod view camera. We have tons of shorts of the tuna hitting, but not the first one which happened in seconds or minutes after getting the line wet. The same thing has happened with our big Halibut smashes this year, I missed the big ones
. I'm sure I have spent at least 40 hours looking at video waiting for good take-downs and have another 12 hours to go for my Tofino footage.
Thanks for the tip guys, I will include our best smash in sunny weather in the first few seconds.
Any other shots you guys love? Do you like the jigging smashes better than trolling?
I need to work on the underwater shots, I have all my freediving gear but might just be ready to jump in and get shots.
I bought another $800 in gear that should allow me to always catch "take downs" but haven't figured out a way to attach it correctly to the boat and get all rods in the picture. Jesus, considering Gary Cooper said they filmed with $80,000 in gear back in the day, I'm likely getting close with $ invested opportunity costs in my other business. If anyone knows anything about monetizing video through partnerships, resellers etc would love to chat. Planning to be on the youtube partner program soon, if not in weeks by about March. Goal is 100k subscribers by July 2023. Might start a business or two to drive real revenue, happy to chat with anyone about boating/fishing business anytime especially while on our boats waiting for take downs.
Any other BC Youtube or other tiktok or Instagram fishing channels you guys love or your partners/kids watch? I watch YBS Youngbloods out of Australia religiously. My son loves it too. He has a serious passion for the water and I may have fallen in love with a young Argentian woman or two when I was his age.
Sorry for derailing this thread.
