Two fish at the 40" mark in the same day is definitely a banner day in my book! Sounds like you really got into the fish today great report.

I have a camera mount that I swing out to take the pictures. I hit the 10 second self timer on the camera and swing the arm out. I can't tell you how many times a pike will jump out of my hands at the 9 second mark !! LOL It does make for some good action shots though.

Tremendous!!

I'm interested in hearing more about this camera system you have installed on your kayak. Earlier this year, I dropped a $400 Canon SX40 into the depths of Spruce Run when it rolled off the deck hatch of my kayak when I was trying to take pictures of myself.

Now I use my phone and take those awkward self-portraits with one arm stretched out and the fish next to my head.

According to my wife, in the parlance of Facebook those are called "selfies."

Dan, very impressive! First time I have seen TWO 40"+ Pike caught in the same day with PHOTOS to back it up!

I'm hoping to get back to that spot we discussed this weekend, let me know if you are free and we can set something up.

Im not sure if this is what he is using or not but look into yak attack panfish and panfish portrait mounts. This used with a gopro is a awesome setup. Gopro has built in wifi and a free app with a preview on your phone. It's a really cool set up

Nice. River is still too high for us bank beaters(at least for me. Patiently waiting for it to drop to the 12-13' level).Damn thing takes FOREVER to go down. You almost need no rain for a month. It was this week last year things really turned on so hopefully the t-storms they're predicting won't come through the area.

What little time I've spent near it, the skeeters pretty much chased me away. That's another issue. They are spraying all along it but its not helping(or maybe it is. Could it be worst?)
